Rick: Hi, my name's Rick. I am an owner of a construction company and I give Zoho Desk five out of five stars. Previous to Zoho Desk, we used a combination of HubSpot, CRM, and Google Sheets. It was just a matter of just trying to get it at all work and mixing and matching things, and it was a big mess and that's why we switched to Zoho Desk. We chose Zoho Desk because of past experience with Zoho, we've experimented previously with their CRM and some of their other services, and they just had great customer service, which turned us on to really want to use them, so that's how we got started and then it just worked really well for us, so we stuck with it. Integrating Zoho Desk, it was really just starting with Zoho Desk and trying to migrate everything over from Google Sheets and HubSpot and just a bunch of other places and things. It wasn't Zoho's fault, it took us a little while. It was a fair amount of work on my part and other people's parts, and it worked out really well. We're happy with it, but it was a good amount of work. I recommend getting Zoho Desk, trying it out. It's not perfect for everyone, but we really liked it. I had great customer service with them. They helped me a fair amount getting things set up and working, so I definitely recommend them.
