would recommend this appPros
Ticket handling is great, and the way everything links together is amazing. The ability to search across the whole platform (documentation, tickets, users) all at once, is fantastic.
It's a very easy to use with very good features that really help make the job much easier. I really learned a lot thanks to it, becaus zendesk helps me know my applicacion even better.
The experience with Zendesk is very good, it has helped me to better organize the incidents, give them priority and also be able to obtain very good statistics to analyze the work of the team.
Pros
We tried Planday for free and immediately found it to be better suited for our business' needs - mostly thanks to the skill sets.
Bespoke Hotels has implemented Planday in 5 hotels. It has been a great success.
The app is user friendly and our employees love using it, we’ve even noticed a recognizable boost in employee morale since starting PlanDay.
Cons
I dislike that unless you are communicating within the actual Zendesk software with your admin/technical support team, it comes through as a confusing email thread that is hard to follow.
Its routing function is slow, and it is not automatable. Another problem is (ironically) your tool for managing and tracking problems, it's slow.
I haven't found any problem with this app at the moment. I think it fits our needs at the moment, I will update my review if I ever find a problem.
Cons
My office uses a practice management system with next to zero HR functions, a terrible time clock, and no integration with platforms from other vendors.
We have been able to literally cut our time spent on payroll by over 50%, and reduce scheduling time by at least 1/3.
I don't like that there is google tracking on it everywhere I go.
