Usable, but poor search, reporting and community features
What do you like best about the product?
* It just works.
* Submitting a ticket via email is fairly straightforward
* Semi-modern web UI
* Good performance

What do you dislike about the product?
* While UX is not terrible, it's also not great. The navigation in the app could be much more efficient
* Search really sucks. Searching for tickets (as an agent) is hard
* Community features are really weak. A user can't do tasks as simple as "Find all posts by me". You have to dig through your emails to find the notification messages from Zendesk if you want to look up a topic you previously participated in
* Very poor reporting capabilities. A customer support portal is a gold mine of insights. You should be able to easily do things like track the number of zupport tickets tagged with a tag or tickets containing a certain keyword in the title, but there isn't a straightforward path to do that. Even if you find a way to get something _close_ to what you need, you move on to the next problem: how do I build a dashboard from it and share with my coworkers? Or how do I set up an automatic email report? This is impossible with zendesk, especially if you only have a limited number of people with full Agent licenses. Zendesk does have a standalone product, Zendesk Explore, that you can purchase for an additional fee, but that's ridiculous. I really don't appreciate how Zendesk bullies you into paying them more money for things that should be included into the standard package.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a large web app and we use Zendesk to track customer support tickets and inquiries, as well as build a customer help portal and a community forum. Zendesk works, but leaves a lot to be desired. The limitations of the base product make it very hard to adopt Zendesk company-wide, outside of the Customer Support team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think hard about what you're really trying to build and what functionality what you might need in near future, and what teams in your company would be using the product. Zendesk may be fine for the support team, but it makes it really hard to share reports with other departments, and the reporting capabilities themselves are fairly limited. If I made the decision, I would go with JIRA Service Desk in a heart beat.

I love the robustness of ZD and it's ability to easily respond and track user responses.

They've had some downtime lately. Unfortunately, this is becoming the norm to expect out of ZD. I'll looking forward to them getting their act together in dev-ops.

social media responses.
Bug tracking.
HUGE improvement in response time.

Zendesk is pretty much THE best support helpdesk out there. It's definitely the Standard and for good reason! Dive in, you won't be disappointed.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't necessarily dislike anything about zendesk.

The business problem that we are solving with Zendesk is the ability to track, report, and communicate between multiple departments as well as with the client.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It has great user-ability for both internal and external use.
Zendesk is ok, but very basic looking
What do you like best about the product?
I think that Zendesk is easy to use without having to tie in a lot of other software. The interface is a little busy and difficult to navigate but all the tools are available.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that the interface was more user friendly and simpler.

This software is allowing for better communication between the various teams in our organization.
Zendesk in Customer Serivce
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and assign tickets to other team members
What do you dislike about the product?
The admin and reports tabs can get confusing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving customer issues such as returns and warranty claims. Benefits are how organized Zendesk is
Good functionality for the price
What do you like best about the product?
Cross-functionality with other products. It can interact with many other systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
format and depth of integration. I like the format for tracking issues in some other systems that are part of a whole CRM system, and I dislike that I can't integrate with my CRM as much as I would like. So the interoperability is broad, but not as deep as I would like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ticket management for problems. Knowledge base for customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a fair product for the price. They've got tiers of service, and we found it works for what we want to do, for the most part. Certainly way less expensive than some other options.
Quick, compact, and intuitive!
What do you like best about the product?
It automatically opens tickets into internal tabs, so you can keep your browser compact - when trying to source a solution this cleanliness is invaluable!
What do you dislike about the product?
It can take a bit of getting used to because it has so many features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
General customer support - it's a great tool for organizing and making sure we can follow up no matter what. Nothing through the cracks!
Zendesk revolutionized our customer experience departments efficiency and service
What do you like best about the product?
Help desk feature- it allows guests to find answers autonomously and for our team to update FAQs at anytime.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Instagram comments could be seen in Zendesk.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to staff less people as Zendesk allows us to be very efficient. We're also solving for inconsistencies in answers and volume with the help desk and macros.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to spend time with a account manager- there are so many features out there that you might not even have know about
Highly Recommend
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, easy to respond via email, is reliable (as much as SaaS can be) and is a great database of past questions, issues, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
When you search using keyword, it doesn't automatically sort by most recent. It's a small annoyance, but it's consistent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work with customers regularly both via email and via Zendesk. Zendesk allows me and my more technical partners to solve an issue with a customer together more easily and more organized than email does.
Zendesk
