Boosts response times and simplifies customer communication through user-friendly setup
What is our primary use case?
For the company I was working with that used Zendesk, they paid for the subscription. I cannot provide exact information for the duration they paid for, but it's usually the same setup as on Freshdesk. Once they pay and you're brought into the project, they add the email they created for you, add you as an agent, and give you access to Zendesk or Freshdesk so that you can promptly provide support on the tickets.
What is most valuable?
I use the customizable dashboards and reporting tools sometimes, and I get to automate using make.com and Zendesk.
The benefits I have seen from using Zendesk include faster response times. As a CSM, faster response is the goal, which solves the customer's challenge in a timely manner. Zendesk offers that capability, which is beneficial.
What needs improvement?
I'm going to piggyback on what I said regarding Freshdesk concerning what could be better in Zendesk: incorporate more AI. I know many CRM tools are already on the way to do that.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Zendesk for a period of eight months. Sometimes it depends on the project and the company I'm working with. On my own, I have to make sure that I'm proficient with almost all CRM tools. I've used Zendesk for over eight months.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of Zendesk is still in the same range as Freshdesk. Both of them are on the same scale because the usability, user interface, and user experience give the same feel. That's the way 90% of the CRM tools are; they remain similar.
How are customer service and support?
Their support team from Zendesk is excellent, similar to what you have in Freshdesk.
How would you rate customer service and support?
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup with Zendesk is straightforward because we are already brought in when it's set up, mostly by the IT department or the department in charge of setting up CRM tools. The CRM tool can be embedded in the company's website or wherever the customer goes in that they can send a complaint, or on the contact section on their site.
When they set it up, they add me as the agent or support master. Setting it up is not an issue, and it's very easy to navigate, similar to Freshdesk.
What other advice do I have?
It's similar to other CRM tools. As mentioned earlier, they all have the same interface. Zendesk is fine. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Zendesk an 8.5.

Zendesk is a helpful support tool
What do you like best about the product?
Zendesk is great for keeping track of customer support tickets. I can easily discern what tickets are awaiting my response versus the customer's response. I also love the ability to add internal notes to the tickets that the user can't see.
What do you dislike about the product?
The "child" ticket aspect needs some work. Additionally, if there are multiple people copied on a ticket and one of those copied folks (who is not the original "Requester") responds on the ticket and leaves all the other copied folks off, there is no way to respond to just that one person (the Requester MUST be in the response).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am the main point of support for my team, and we toyed with the idea of having customers reach out to me directly over email. However, we ran into the issue of how my colleagues can cover those emails while I'm out of the office, as they won't have access to my personal email. Zendesk solved this issue. On top of that, I can set myself to OOO on Zendesk and reroute those tickets to a colleague.
