Independent research methodology
Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

How GetApp ensures transparency
GetApp lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. GetApp is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

Powerful AI tools to support the scaling of our CX function
Set up was more difficult than expected early on.

Very poor. Don't bother with the trials, go and look at something else.
Not many at all, the agents don't seem to have much interest
Ironic that a company trying to sell software for CX, is so poor with their own service

We utilize Zendesk as our core CRM and ticketing solution for email, chat, text and analytics
The open source and compatibility with common CX tools. The low cost / high value is a substantial factor as well
Service is not as great and difficult to get help if needed. Reporting is also not as easy to set up as advertised

Efficient, but not super exciting.
It was organized, easy to sort, and easy to update. Often customer support tickets piled up at certain times, and ZenDesk helped keep everything manageable. Everything from reassigning tickets to marking them as complete/closed helped our customer support team work fast and efficiently.
The interface is quite boring. I know the work to be done is straightforward - answer and close tickets - but I think for CX associates, they need all the color/levity they can get. I was never excited to open Zendesk.

If you go all in on it, it's good. If you don't - there's simpler options that may help you out a bit more. EG, it's live chat platform is actually quite.. old. I've experienced a lot better including ones where you get one way video chat. *That* is CX innovation.
It's general simplicity. It's the old man of CX software so it's comfortable. The features you expect are there. It's knowledge base functionality is actually quite robust, and almost worth it for that. It's live chat is basic, but good.
It's "unified view of the customer" is a bit of a misnomer and requires you to base your solution in Zendesk. Integrations aren't actually that great if you didn't start with ZenDesk.

It just works.
It's easy to interact with the customers, once your team has gotten used to it, then it becomes more agile. It provides some insightful metrics about customer behavior that are super relevant to gain insights and improve the UX and CX.
Customer support is basically non-existing sometimes, depending on how busy they are. Also, the chat widget adds a lot of loading time to your website.

Zendesk Suite isn't bad. Suitable for those who are into Customer Service, but may not be a strong suit for those who are into technology or highly familiar with features. Zendesk is best said to be beginner-friendly.
Some things I like the most are:(1) Beginner friendly: Easy for starters to use for CX or customer service(2) Features are easy to use(3) The features are well organized and easy to navigate around(4) Shortcuts are very useful
Some things I don't like the most are:(1) Search engine; lacks advanced features for enhanced ticket-finding(2) Rich text doesn't filter very well when particular inputs are included i.e. dash for bullets, numbering for numbered lists.(3) Automations have limited functionalities and logic. For instance, if the time interval is given, but not the precise value i.e. time > 7 weeks, then that is not allowed. That should be included for usability.
