My organization has been using Zendesk, the best help desk software. It works seamlessly on any channel, such as voice, chat, email, or even in social messaging apps, like Instagram, Facebook, or Whatsapp. All the communications and proper context are preserved in a dynamic and single dashboard. As far as the pros are concerned, Zendesk lets you boost your communications everywhere; it has an impeccable ticketing system and automated routing. Some of its cons include it doesn’t provide a secure way to send data. Hence, you need to use a secured SharePoint folder link

At Nolah Mattress, we useZendesk. It allows our team to easily follow conversations with customers and see what’s been responded to, and by who.Our team can also add internal thoughts and notes to tickets without the customer being any the wiser - it streamlines our communication. One of the cons is that it’s on the higher end of the help desk software pricing range - it’s priced per agent - but its features make it worth the cost.The triggers are sometimes a touch sticky, but definitely workable.

I'm Daniela Sawyer, Founder of FindPeopleFast.net, a web-based people searching website. We use Zendesk Support Suite. With this, our business can have natural conversations with customers while keeping them unaware of what's going on behind the scenes. All interactions and relevant context for our agents are kept in one place with the Support Suite. One workspace for all agents, allowing our teams to serve customers faster and more personally.

Zendesk is a great platform that gives you capabilities to support your customers through defined SLA priorities in your tickets and also provides the knowledge base capabilities which helps you save time if the issue is duplicate or faced before.

“Need a ticketing system? Use Zendesk Support”

Overall rating5.0
Zendesk makes it super easy to keep track of support tickets your company may need. Out of the box, there are many customizable options, but then there is the marketplace that can easily enhance your experience with the product. Track time, add task lists, integrate your calendar and your CRM, and so much more.
