Neither legacy software, nor progressive workflow automation. Stuck in the middle.
What do you like best about the product?
In the beginning, it felt easy to use and the triaging and categorisation system was helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Zendesk is clearly at a point in its journey where its aiming for maximum money extraction, minimum delivery. We had some issues and their service has been unresponsive, uncollaborative and rude. Its telling when any subscription makes it impossible to get help or cancel.
The product is also ageing and not fit for B2B use. Originally designed around B2C, a lot of our workflows are clunky and constrained by their system architecture, so it all feels quite manual.
I'd stay away and use Pylon or similar if you're building B2B support teams.

Our sales and customer relationships have been strengthened by Zendesk
What do you like best about the product?
The user experience is really simple; it consolidates all communications with customers in one place, whether through email, live chat or phone conversations. The ability to automate workflow tasks such as ticket assignment, response sending and interaction tracking is quite remarkable. As a result, we have been able to devote more time and energy to the conclusion of agreements. We can bring all customer interactions together in one place, they are saved and structured, so no one on the team has to go through multiple systems to find a customer’s history, whether it be via email, chat or a web form.
What do you dislike about the product?
It took a long time to set things up from the beginning, but the system is powerful and needs some changes before it can be turned on and used to its full potential. It took more time than anticipated to tailor the workflows and reporting matching our company model.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The way we handle sales and customers has improved a lot. Zendesk allowed us to create a Kanban board, which we used to delegate work, set due dates and monitor development. There was a huge change when all the information could be seen in one place. When a customer contacts us, we immediately create a ticket and record the entire chat so that anyone on our team can access it. We can quickly and easily assess the full case history to ensure that new responses are accurate and consistent with previous exchanges. We were also able to make real-time adjustments to our plan thanks to the custom reports I built to track sales team performance.

Lack of employee accountability creates botched renewal and customer downtime
What do you like best about the product?
Technology is decent, including bot add ins.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a fundamental working challenge with this company which stems from their decision to move away from people-based accountability for supporting customer accounts. Like some other companies, ZenDesk moved solely to a ticketing based system where internal gig-style employees can pick up a ticket and help move things forward. Conceptually I can see where this could result in a 24 hour engine of support to ensure forward progress. However, the end result to the customer is that the lack of any individual accountability results in no one else having any empathy for the customer and seeing customer challenges from initial ticket through to completion. Team members are tagging other internal team members on the customer facing ticket to help each other understand what needs to be done to sign a contract. Our experience on our renewal has been one of the most embarrassing demonstrations of customer success for a company that is supposed to help you with customer success.
Because of the challenges in getting a consistent person to know what is going on and see what needs to be done to keep our account active, the account has "lapsed" twice, shutting down our customer ticketing and learning center requiring us to notify our end users on two different occasions. During each outage, the tickets are not met with any urgency or display of any empathy for this customer, despite the ball being in their court for most of our issues.
As the CEO of a health tech company, I hope that this experience is one that can help influence other decision makers when considering ZenDesk. I would strong recommend that you consider a different solution, one that prioritizes customers with a full team of responsibility and accountability with people owning the process for customer success and renewals.

Limited Features, Heavy Reliance on Custom Code, and Difficult to Administer
What do you like best about the product?
Respected name, plethora of integrations available, and part of a wide ecosystem of products.
What do you dislike about the product?
Brands feature is half-baked and inconsistent. Agent interface is clumsy and inefficient. User interface offers almost no useful purpose without extensive custom code modification.
Customization and branding is entirely code-dependent, and many key touch points for customers offer zero customization ability, namely user login.

Zendesk makes Tech Support straightforward and organized

Zendesk has an incredible ability to create living documents centered around the customer, keeping track of all communications and notes regarding their issue.

For our business in particular, everything is centered around Organizations being the focal point of contact, and in Zendesk it can be hard to keep communications with multiple contacts from the same organization from becoming a bit of a mess.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zendesk Support is solving our need for a ticketing system that allows multiple employees to easily become up-to-date on one issue and pick up where the other left off. It is also our Support wiki knowledgebase.
Initial software great, but lack of features despite repeated suggestions frustrates

Sometimes, we receive tickets marked as suspended, even though some of them shouldn't be.

It helps us manage a high volume of tickets and distribute them among the team.
