HA

Hamed A.

Mustafa A.

Director

“When I first started using Zoho desk I was impressed but after further usage, I began to feel let down by the load times and the lack of features when it comes to reporting and usage on mobile devices”
DT

Daniel T.

IT Engineer

“There are also quite a few features missing from their reporting and analytics, as well as leaving much to be desired in how notifications are disbursed”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Greg R.

Customer Success Manager

Cons

“Their prices are way out of market (wanting more then Freshdesk which is a far more established ticket system). When you reach out for assistance on their Github, you are met with ridicule.”
LG

Luka G.

CTO

“I haven't find any issues until now, but since we have less interactions with some of our customers we might lose some sales opportunities.”
JS

Jelfry S.

Help desk supervisor

“My only personal gripe is the graphical display—I’m just not a fan of how it looks.”
