Great Product, Poor Support
What do you like best about the product?
The Support Suite is very robust. Internal communication options are varied, allowing you to work in the product of your choice and link that internal communication to the ticket through integrations with Slack, Teams, Jira and more. Managing ticket routing is easy with triggers and automations to make sure the right teams are addressing the issue submitted and having managed canned responses for your agents is easy using their macros.
Having worked as both an Agent, Manager and Admin in Zendesk, the permissioning works well to make sure the right roles have the right access to best accomplish their responsibilities.

What do you dislike about the product?
If you have any issues with the system, you will have trouble getting resolutions from the Zendesk Support team. They will often not do basic troubleshooting, investigate examples you've provided, and sometimes not even provide resolutions. While their Support team used to be fantastic, it has decreased significantly in the past few years, first when they went to a swarming support method and then a significant drop again when they went private in 2022.
Posting issues on their community boards for their product will be hit or miss if you ever get a response from the Product team, and even if you do, the follow-up the Product team will likely not align with any dates or timelines they have provided you. Ex. If they say to expect an update by the end of the year, you might not hear anything for two years.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ease of insight across teams into the tickets that need to be managed and prioritizing which tickets are managed first through Zendesk's SLA features helps our departments stay informed and on top of important customer issues.

Great for cookie cutter companies, terrible for anything else
What do you like best about the product?
It's a simple, easy, shiny solution to get a support solution live quickly
What do you dislike about the product?
It's ridiculously expensive for what it offers. There's silly limitations like editing closed tickets that aren't supported (something about cold storage), and any level of beyond-basic customization is impossible. I've heard from others in the industry that Zendesk is more common in the enterprise space, but I genuinely don't understand how this is possible unless the larger the company, the more standardized their processes become? Additionally, their reporting is terrible, and their customer support is abysmal. Run away from this product and spend the up-front investment in something like Salesforce Service Cloud that will actually support your business model and provide you with reasonable discounts. Oh, and when you're fed up with the product and ready to switch, good luck migrating. Their data migration is terrible, so you basically have to use an API script to pull everything to a manageable CSV file, and per their documentation, the second your contract expires, your instance is lost to the nether - they give you zero room to come back to them.
While Zendesk is aware of their many issues, progress is painfully slow, and they seem to prioritize shiny new features over fixing their existing product. This priority shift perfectly sums up my experience with Zendesk - it's all about the polish and marketability at the sacrifice of the actual usability of their product.

Managing Support Requests
Zendesk Support Suite
What do you like best about the product?
Zendesk is user-friendly. It was the very first customer service software that I used and I did not have a hard time navigating. I tried emails and chats, and it was very helpful that it opens a new tab.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Zendesk is the interface for the canned responses. Sometimes, it appears disorganized and I couldn't seem to easily find the one I was supposed to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zendesk is quite helpful in providing excellent customer service when it comes to chats and SMS. The live chat option can be opened in a separate tab and it easy to use.
Easy to Learn and Manage
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to create and easily use response templates. Customer contact management is reasonably straight forward. Integrates well with email so your customers can reply via email.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the submit choices could be more intuitive. The search function doesn't seem as powerful as it could be. Doesn't pick up on duplicate contacts very easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zendesk Support Suite is solving the problem of customer inquiry management. Many of our customers have a contact within our organization, but at a certain point they 'graduate' to ongoing support, which utilizes Zendesk to communicate with customers and solve their incoming tickets.
An efficient way for ticketing system
What do you like best about the product?
The easiest way to handle all the tickets. Probably the best ticketing tool I have used so far.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much to say about dislikes since I have been using it for more than 4 years now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easiest way to handle the ticketing system. All the client requests are assigned a ticket # which is very useful for all the future references.
A Brilliant CRM and Support Powerhouse With a Wide Range of Usages From Ticketing to Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
There are many great things about Zendesk Support Suite that I used throughout more than one year of my career experience.
Firstly, I like the simplicity of the software design. It is easier to navigate around, including views and groups. Those features are valuable for particular users to navigate around Zendesk Suite.
Secondly, the additional administration features allow users to manage Zendesk Support Suite in more advanced ways, including managing the permissions of particular users.
Thirdly, Zendesk Support Suite has multiple options to utilize integrations and additional features to help locate tickets more efficiently (for my business and operations purposes).
In short, because of its versatility, a powerful design and usability for users of all levels, Zendesk Support Suite makes a "powerhouse" (as the title suggests!)

What do you dislike about the product?
Some downsides of Zendesk include limited and complicated features, including:
- Automation rules that are not well explained or well thought out, such as executing triggers set for particular period of time;
- Limited number of search queries that prevents users from locating a particular ticket easily;
- Lack of advanced features, such as Regex (i.e. to easily locate a particular ticket) and limited trigger features that can be improved;
From the tell of the information provided, it is the series of implementation and improvements that should be taken into consideration to make Zendesk better in some areas.

Few instances that Zendesk Support Suite solves include:
- Having to locate conversations for particular subject/topic (i.e. technical issues related to the department of my company);

- Better access to tickets without much strain;
- Therefore, tickets are solved quickly and smoothly!

Zendesk Overview as a User
What do you like best about the product?
The zendesk is a user-friendly tool; I love that they require the agent to input a note before closing a ticket or a case, making it cleaner and more manageable if the customer reaches out again. The letters provide a summary of the case.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some people are complaining about the quality of the call; we also had a slight issue with the Shopify integration
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
consistency with email answering since hey require a note before closing a case
Once great, now on a constant downward trajectory to useless annoyance
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and configure, messages to custoerms include the entire thread so that they do not need to use the web interface.Decent collaboration features for external users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every new development makes the product LESS useful to us. Instead of improving the product it keeps getting worse. Customer feedback is consistently ignored and teh general attitude is 'we know what is best for you". Also, some of the most baisc filter fucntions are not avaialble.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zendesk is our tool for providing excellent, prompt, and consitent support to our customers and partners. We use it to have a standardized and collaborative approach to make sure we resolve questions and issues.
It's very hard to get help. Zendesk customer service is not efficient at all.
What do you like best about the product?
End-to-end support, with a help center portal, FAQ integration, and more.
What do you dislike about the product?
The BI tool needs improvement though, as it is not easy to use, and has proven to be useless.
It's very hard to get help when you need help. Zendesk customer service is not efficient at all , and it's very hard to talk with someone that understands the product and effectively helps you. Their first line/tier 1 agents are outsourced companies from third-world countries, that are completely disconnected from the main company.

RUN AWAY FROM ZENDESK
What do you like best about the product?
There is nothing I find valuable about Zendesk. The products are clunky, the support is non-existent after you get thruogh the sales process and they constantly try to sell you bot interaction as the future of Customer Care but their own bot is terrible at resolving issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Everything. The way they handle issues is a pain, their products don't feel like they were tested by real customer care agents and are missing major features that inhibit the functionality of the products. They constantly upsell you on the next tier which means paying more per month to get very basic features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are attempting to help us finalize a departure from Zendesk. Of course, it took way too long to resolve.
