Fine solution for streamlining mass applications
What do you like best about the product?
All of our application materials to our advanced degree programs can come to one place. There is much less paper, and all people involved can see the applications
What do you dislike about the product?
It has never been an issue, but some people are uncomfortable with the idea of uploading a letter of recommendation to the site as they feel it is unsecured. I also loathe the insistence of changing my password every month.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our institution (Land grant 4 year college) bought salesforce to streamline the admissions process. It has allowed multiple people access to records without countless pieces of paper. We have consolidated our program application from 2 separate ones to one.

Salesforce Is Powerful

Salesforce seems like it can basically do it all. It is easy to administer and navigate through once you've practiced and learned. However, when implementing it large scale that can be a bad thing.

Salesforce is a spider web that is easy to get tangled up in. Not only are there alot of different objects and functionalities, but there are many different solutions to any business need. Over time your organization may find itself in quite a tangle.

CRM, Marketing Cloud, Web Chat, Sales Processes, Employee Management

What do you dislike about the product?
for the amount we pay i would hope to not have a limit on the amount of rules we have
desk also seems to go down a lot
when updating the help articles we have seen that sometimes the images do not always like to insert. We have found sometimes we have written a whole help article and desk decided to log us out or something happens that the help article did not

Customer Service Tickets
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Desk.com as a support team member at SignUpGenius for over 4 years. The system is easy to use. Macros and labels allow us to work quickly and keep track of issues. The customer service team for Desk is always really quick to answer any questions or concerns. When there have been Desk site issues, Desk communicates the problems well and works diligently to fix the issues. In four years we have had very few interruptions.

Setting up filters can be a little cumbersome.

Relatively easy to set up and get going with Desk. There are powerful features but it's easy to get started with more basic functionality and add more as users gain confidence.

The only negative is that the cost can escalate quickly when you have a growing team.

More SEO configuration
And bug correction like :
make a note when we tranfer a case to an external email

Be more efficient for image management in content (we need to upload not only one picture but a bundle of picture to use in our content. And we need to have folder to classify picture)

Many features, many of which don't work as they're supposed to
What do you like best about the product?
- Goodlooking next-gen agent with option to integrate calls right in the agent console
- Relatively complex business rules possible
- The support team tries to be as helpful as they can be and replies very fast to queries

What do you dislike about the product?
- Multi-language: Does not show up in business insights and is not available in filters, so it's not possible to check the very basic metric of how many cases arrive in the different languages
- Bugs only seem to get fixed if they're absolutely critical to basic operation. Other, very annoying bugs may remain unresolved for a long time
- Requests for basic features have been enthusiastically received by Desk, after which nothing was done with them for over a year now
- Desk has a long list of features, yet many of them don't work as they should and make them unusable. We had the social channel enabled, but noticed a lot of posts don't come to Desk. We switched to another platform now because of that. Another example is that the user rights don't make sense; We'd like to have a role for teamleads so that they can edit details of their team members and add team members, but not go into our business rules, filter settings etc. Yet there is no rule that makes that possible and we have to give teamleads full access to the admin panel, which can be risky.
- Limited API calls: There is a limit of the amount of API calls you can make per minute, yet when developing some advanced integrations with Desk, we would need a lot more. We have over 300 agents, yet get the same amount of API calls as a business with 5 agents.
- NextGen agent: While it looks great, it lacks a lot of features that the classic agent has. Over the last year, Desk has improved on that and now NextGen can almost do the same things as Classic Agent and offers some features that aren't in Classic Agent. However, we've been reluctant to make the switch from Classic to NextGen, because we had a lot of bugs on NextGen when we started that didn't occur on Classic Agent.
- The built-in chat agent is too simple and lacks very basic features and is therefore unusable for pretty much any scenario I can think of

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a very large volume of inbound cases and a large number of agents dealing with those. Desk is an improvement over what we were previously using, because it offers more advanced routing of cases through business rules. However, it seems Desk's competitors are very quickly gaining ground and I think some of them have already overtaken Desk in terms of features, and besides that actually implement those features in ways that make them more useful to use in complex scenarios.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's difficult to say if Desk.com will be the right choice for you or not and a short trial or comparison of features will not necessarily give you the proper picture of Desk.com. Many features that are listed don't work as expected.
