“helpful stats and friendly design”
Pros
The feature we really value is the statistics dashboard which lets us track our response times and see how satisfied parents are with our communication. That has been a huge win for us because it has directly helped improve our organization's net promoter score. The dark green color scheme also seems welcoming and the platform is simple to learn and use.
Cons
One thing that still bothers me is the sign-off signature. I cannot set one up so I have to manually type it every time I reply to an email.

“Customer history visible at a glance”
Pros
Zendesk makes it really simple to pull up all customer communications in one place such as email, chat, surveys and more. Having the full timeline of a customer's interactions makes it much easier to understand their situation and figure out the best way to help.
Cons
We haven't used the phone or call center features so I cannot really speak to how well that part works.

“reliable customer service workflow”
Pros
Handling customer service tasks with Zendesk Suite is pretty easy and it's been an efficient way to manage this kind of work.
Cons
The feature set is a bit limited. It's also tough to compare it with other similar tools since I haven't really used alternatives. Even with that my overall experience with it has been positive.

“organized contacts and strong CRM”
Pros
Among the CRM tools I have used this is one of the best. It's been especially useful even when changing jobs and it keeps information on anyone such as clients or otherwise that too well organized and instantly accessible. The layout is user friendly and everything is right at your fingertips. I'd happily keep using it long-term as long as the pricing stayed reasonable although there are plenty of similar options out there now to consider at the same or even lower cost.
Cons
Overall I have enjoyed using this product a lot. It's a really great application but with so many newer tools coming out that offer nearly the same features for a lower price, it just doesn't feel worth it to me anymore. At this point I need something that comes in at a more affordable price.

“user-friendly ticketing win”
Pros
Running a remote team of insurance telesales agents means system glitches, errors and general IT problems are bound to happen. Because of that having a ticketing and support tool that is both effective and user friendly is incredibly important. Plus it has made it very simple for my team to report IT issues and keep track of them and overall the platform is very easy to use.
Cons
I really do not have any complaints about the software. It is also very accessible for my team since we can use it as an add-on within Microsoft Teams and that convenience makes it much easier for me to manage both the team and the day to day issues that come up.

“Handy call tracking”
Pros
It does a great job of tracking calls and I can add all my notes in one place while also keeping up with revenue details.
Cons
One thing that trips me up is remembering to move a deal along in the pipeline. Also, when I log calls from my phone since I have the app on my cell too, it doesn't give me quite enough time to finish typing my notes.

“feature packed software”
Pros
It comes with plenty of features and it's a platform that has been around for a very long time.
Cons
The company feels like it has grown into a big corporation and lost the startup energy it had early on. It also makes me question whether the product is still being actively developed.

Pros
The user friendly dashboard makes everything simple to navigate and the multichannel support is a big plus. Their response time to queries is also very fast. Another thing I really like is being able to configure and customize the themes exactly the way I want.
Cons
Getting everything set up was a bit difficult at first but aside from that, I really enjoy the functionality and don't have any other complaints.

“ticketing works but frustrating limits”
Pros
Our customers can submit support tickets through it and agents are able to reply to them and take action when needed.
Cons
Using it alongside Office 365 can make the login process confusing especially because of Microsoft's side of things. Once a post is submitted, it cannot be edited, the macro features feel limited and our whole staff really dislikes using it.

“Offers real-time support”
Pros
Working at a company that uses Zendesk has completely changed how we connect with customers through chat. It lets me help people in real time with troubleshooting, placing orders, checking order status and answering general questions right away. The whole experience feels much more convenient than making customers sit through phone calls or wait on hold for a representative so this feature has been a big improvement in how we communicate.
Cons
From the employee side, the system can feel a little intimidating when you first start using it. There are several different features and tools to learn in order to find the right information for each customer so it definitely took some time to get comfortable navigating everything. That said I really do not see any downsides from the customer perspective.

“organized ticketing and smart automation”
Pros
Zendesk is a very right hub for managing customer support. It helps the team track everything related to customer tickets and questions including live chat, self-service options and a record of every action taken. I really like the strong automation. It lets us automatically monitor incoming tickets, set up automatic replies and quickly send each request to the right team member. It is also very helpful that response times, steps taken and customer satisfaction are all recorded. That makes it easy to see how quickly team members respond and how happy customers are with that support. Another big plus is that it can be set up in different languages so customers can choose what works best for them. It also works well for answering questions through SMS which helps us reach more customers.
Cons
I honestly have not noticed any downsides. The interface is excellent, the tools and tickets are very accessible and the ticket coding system is well designed in a way that makes it simpler for both customers and team members to follow along.

“reliable ticket tracking”
Pros
Ticket management works really well. Handling inquiries as tickets helps make sure nothing gets missed and it also reduces the chance of dealing with duplicates. When views are set up properly, it becomes much clearer to see the scope of responses assigned to each department and the reporting features are valuable too making it easy to review things later.
Cons
It offers a lot of freedom for customization and has many settings but the interface is not very user friendly visually so it takes time to learn. It also includes a response feature for inquiries but it can be confusing to tell where the reply content is saved and where drafts are located.

“affordable support hub”
Pros
Zendesk is a popular and affordable customer service platform with plenty of features and a simple interface. One thing that really helps is how it brings all support channels together in a single place.
Cons
Available features can vary depending on which support channel you're using. It may also feel limited if your workflow or requirements are very specific.
