Personal Lines Executive Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simplifying Customer Service Workflows" March 23, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Zendesk Suite has been very positive. It streamlines customer support, keeps tickets and communications organized, and helps provide fast, consistent, and professional service. Pros I love how Zendesk Suite keeps customer support organized and efficient. It centralizes tickets, messages, and chat in one platform, making it easy to respond quickly and provide consistent, high quality support. Cons Sometimes Zendesk Suite can feel a bit complex for new users, and navigating all the features takes time to learn, but once familiar, it becomes a very powerful support tool. Review Source BR Brian R. Director of Operations Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Always something that brings more value. " December 9, 2025 5.0 We like the platform and continue to grow into it. Even after 7+ years of being on it, there always seems to be something new. Pros Zendesk has awesome customer support. Often when I think of something I want to do or need, I can message their support and they get me an answer instantly. Their system is feature rich and flexible. Cons Access to the platform can get somewhat pricey. It may be worth it to you though. That will depend on whether or not you take advantage of the many features available to you. Switched from [HelpSpot](https://www.capterra.com/p/53431/HelpSpot/) We needed a comprehensive system that did knowledge management/articles. Userscape was a great budget option for many years but we outgrew it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Admin Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nearly the standard for multichannel customer support options" February 16, 2026 3.0 When attempting to streamline our support efforts, both for customers and for employees, we turned to Zendesk and found that it did exactly what it said it did. For unknown reasons we couldn't get buy-in from all employees though, and ended up looking elsewhere. Pros While they're not completely ubiquitous on the internet, Zendesk is used by many large companies, so it's a clear and efficient customer support structure that is easy to use for customers. Cons While easy to use for customers, some of the backend framework is a little hard to understand for less tech-savvy co-workers. Review Source SR Sergio R. Coordinatore Infermieristico Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Zendesk Suite is an Organized and Outstanding Customer Service Platform " July 17, 2026 5.0 To be honest, Zendesk Suite has been the most reliable customer service platorm ever. The experience is phenomenal. Pros Zendesk Suite is an outstanding customer service platform that has impressive and friendly features. I like the ease of customization of Zendesk Suite. Cons Zendesk Suite's features are easy to understand and top-notch. Moreover, I enjoy Zendesk Suite's features because they are flawless. Review Source AE Abraham E. software development Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Comprehensive and Reliable Customer Support Platform" August 30, 2025 5.0 Zendesk Suite provides a robust and reliable customer support solution that streamlines ticket management, automates workflows, and improves team efficiency. While it can be pricey and complex for small teams, its features and scalability make it highly valuable for growing organizations focused on providing excellent customer experience Pros Comprehensive customer support features all in one platform. Intuitive and easy-to-use interface. Strong automation and workflow capabilities. Excellent reporting and analytics. Cons Can be expensive for smaller teams. Some advanced customization requires technical knowledge. Occasional learning curve for new users. Switched from [Salesforce Service Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/136189/Salesforce/) Better integrations, more intuitive interface, and advanced workflow automation. Review Source CB Cynthia B. Manager of Registration Services Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Don’t ever take it away from me! " July 13, 2025 5.0 Excellent from day one. Coming from the agony of replying to each individual client via Gmail and not being able to compare responses or easily locate past interactions to everything and everyone in a single place with a GREAT search function is amazing. Don’t ever take this product away. Pros Managing emails as tickets and having every readily accessible for teams to review interactions that support the quality of everyone’s service is invaluable. I have been a user for 4+ years now across companies and the way it makes you more efficient when responding to clients requests is great. Cons There are few things that could be improved like the reply box covering part of the email response or not being automatically adjusted. Things that I’d personally like but are not dealbreakers. Switched from [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) It was not sustainable anymore. We needed to be aware of all team responses and tracking between clients to support training, service and organization altogether Review Source TW Timothy W. IT Consultant Biotechnology Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Its good but still not perfect" July 1, 2025 3.0 Its good enough for what we are using it for. There are definately features missing that I feel like a big company like Zendesk should have already implemented. Such as, keep tickets closed after customer says Thank you. Pros Powerful ticketing system. Lots of options and features you can use from this. So far its defiantly one of the better ticketing systems outthere. Cons The onboarding with support was honestly pretty terrible. We had this package that was supposed to give us good support and we thought it was white glove service and it was not. Switched from [ManageEngine Endpoint Central](https://www.capterra.com/p/170018/ManageEngine-Desktop-Central/) Needed a more robust system that can support multiple departments in a company. Review Source Meghann O. Manger, Customer Success Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Lots of functionality but difficult to navigate" September 8, 2025 3.0 Pros Zendesk seems to have robust capabilities. It integrates with our CRM so I can see all the communication with our support team right there. Cons It seems complicated and we only have a small piece of functionality set up. When I am tagged on a ticket, it is not intuitive how to get to that ticket immediately. Also seems to easy to send replies to the customer vs posting internal notes. Switched from [Help Scout](https://www.capterra.com/p/136909/Help-Scout/) One of the highest reasons we switched was for the AI capabilities Review Source FM Freyxa M. CUSTOMER SUPPORT EFFICIENCY Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Customer support ally" May 22, 2025 4.0 My over experience was really good. It made my job easier, made my experience with the software, and the company itself a lot more bearable. Pros I really like this in one of my experiences with retail support, but I was able to work with emails, SMS, and life chat, and it was really efficient, user-friendly, and everything was organized Cons I am going to be 100% honest identify anything that I didn’t like about these so for specific because I found it to have everything on display and everything to be usable Switched from [Gorgias](https://www.capterra.com/p/155357/Gorgias/) The past software wasn’t that good and he was not able to hold all the information and all of the leads generating every single day Review Source KY Katie Y. Head of Customer Success Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Leaders in CX? I beg to differ" March 7, 2025 1.0 Our first several years working with Zendesk were pretty good. We rarely required help and the feature set met our needs. About 5 years ago our experience with them started going downhill fast. At this point I would strongly recommend against anyone starting a business relationship with this company. Pros The ticketing system works well most of the time. Cons \- Their support is some of the worst I've ever experienced and keeps getting worse. - Their admin portal is buggy - Their knowledge base tools requires you to learn a new programming language in order to set up a support site. - Their knowledge base tool is buggy. It routinely deletes images from and messes up formatting in active articles. - Their analytics tool is complex and requires a deep understanding of Zendesk architecture to use successfully. - The few valuable features they introduce are made available to enterprise customers only. - Most new development is focused on half-baked call center solutions that don't work as promised and decrease the quality of support offered to both their clients and yours. - They do a terrible job of screening for junk and spam letting a significant numbers of spam and malicious messages through and flagging real customer message en masse after each update. - They do not notify you in any way if your messages can't be delivered (bounces, etc) Alternatives considered [Freshdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/124981/Freshdesk/) Reason for choosing Zendesk Suite Zendesk support was better than Freshdesk (at the time we signed up many years ago) Review Source KW Karen W. Head of CX Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall an excellent product" May 20, 2025 5.0 It's a really good idea to use a Zendesk partner to help with set-up and certainly with training users. Pros Intuitive, simple to learn, easy to use. Fast set up. Can partner with suppliers to assist with training and customisation. Cons Difficult to change the basic design without the help of a developer. Custom branding quite basic. Ditto colours. Alternatives considered [Salesforce Service Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/136189/Salesforce/) Reason for choosing Zendesk Suite Support, ease of use, recommendations from others Review Source AT Anita T. Senior Solution Architect Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zendesk Suite: Powering support with confidence" December 16, 2025 5.0 Overall, Zendesk suite serves as a robust and scalable support platform centralizing mulit-stakeholder support, improving response times through automation and self-service capabilities supported with analytics to report on support metrics. Pros Centralized support for multiple stakeholders Knowledge base support for self-service and internal guidance Scalability - can support growing portfolios across cross-functional teams Cons Cost - licensing and add-ons are costly Lacks fine grained permission control for roles Audit trail limited Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Dir. Support Operations Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product That Enhances Our Support Operations" December 16, 2025 5.0 We are pleased with the product, as it continues to deliver exceptional value to both our team and our customers. Its reliable performance, intuitive interface, and ongoing feature enhancements have helped us streamline operations and improve the overall support experience. Zendesk’s consistent updates and focus on usability make it a dependable tool for our daily workflow. Pros The interface is clean and intuitive. Zendesk has clearly invested significant effort into redesigning the look and feel, making it easier than ever to navigate. The addition of new features also reflects their strong commitment to meeting customer needs and continuously improving the user experience. Cons The Triggers and Automations creation page could benefit from greater flexibility to support more complex workflows. Additionally, integrating content from knowledge base articles into the chat experience would help improve ticket deflection and enhance self-service options. Review Source ML Mikes L.

Executive sous chef Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect program " April 12, 2026 5.0 Zen desk is a good program I have used it as an administrator and also as a gym member. On both sides it’s easy to use if you’re not tech savvy. Pros It was very easy to use, every now and then I teach yoga and some of the studios use zen desk and it’s fool proof Cons There isn’t really anything I can think of that I like the least. It works well and it’s easy for anyone one to use Review Source VS Vibhore S. Logistics Lead Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Comprehensive all in Bundle" April 10, 2026 5.0 Overall, nice experience, great bundled comprehensive software for everything in one place like email and voice chat Pros Very nice software to have everything in one place, easy integrations, email and call support is game changer. Cons Pricing is a bit of a con and setting up add ons can add more to it and could feel like a full time job in the backend Review Source LL Lance L. Service coordinator Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product , Feature rich and Easily Configured!" June 9, 2026 5.0 Pros Customer support and help getting everything configured! Easy to use across multiple departments! Feature rich and easy to customize!

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Associate Process Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the best tool for customer service " September 22, 2025 4.0 We integrated zendesk chatbot with our clients portal it was not that struggle. So everytime now when portal users needs help they can reach out to us via just clicking on chat icon. Pros The best I like about zendesk is tha it can be integrated easily with other software and your application. And also zendesk can be used for all medium of communication like chats, emails and calls. We can also create customized chat bot. Cons What I least liked about zendesk is its subscription model cause it may look too expensive for small business. Review Source Jessie S.

Request management is smoother and more structured. Cons Long conversations can become difficult to review.

Operations Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Zendesk has been perfect for our business " August 25, 2025 4.0 Zendesk has made guest communication smoother and way less stressful. For a tourism business where timely replies make or break a booking, it’s been worth the investment. Pros The ticket system makes it simple to see who asked what and when. If a guest emails about snorkeling conditions or a last-minute booking, I know exactly where it is and can assign it to the right teammate. The mobile app is also great when I’m out on the boats, I can still respond quickly without being online. Cons It takes a little time to get used to the setup, especially if your staff isn’t techy, but once we had our workflows in place it really streamlined everything. Pricing can creep up if you want a lot of add-ons, but the core tools are solid. Review Source TG Tim G. Customer Service Executive Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Enabled us to manage multichannel support." June 23, 2025 4.0 Our initial reply time went down by over 50%. Customers now receive faster, more consistent responses, and we can quickly catch repeat issues and improve our product listings or FAQs. Pros We are using Zendesk Suite to track customer questions from email, chat and social media in one view. The macros and ticket routing are a lifesaver for our small team in ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. Cons The learning curve was real. Especially when it came to customizing our help center or setting up any automation. It also starts to get expensive when you move beyond the most basic plans. Review Source CB Christine B. Pilates transformation expert Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great at Customer Service Workflow" April 13, 2026 4.0 Very helpful in simplifying customer service workflow. If they could solve the filtering issues, I’d give them another star. Pros It’s a centralized platform that can manage almost all customer interactions - chat, help desk, email and order management. Cons Major issues with spam and junk email not being filtered out, while real customer emails get lost in the mix. Review Source SK Sarah K. People Ops Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Helpful platform if you're tech-savvy enough to master it" July 9, 2025 4.0 We've had a positive overall experience with Zendesk, using it across our IT, HR, and operations teams as the internal ticketing system and help desk article platform for our employees. Pros Zendesk has been a great first ticketing system for our company, and allowing multiple users to act as agents ensures that there is not a blocker/single source of failure when it comes to supporting employees. The ticket submission forms are super customizable, and there's a lot of great logic that you can build into them. I also have appreciated the status updates and analytics around ticket responses. Cons The Zendesk admin platform and ability to build out customizations are still pretty complicated and can be confusing if you're not a very tech-savvy person. Review Source TK Tim K. Chief of Staff Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The gold standard for managing customer support requests" January 8, 2026 5.0 Pros I like the easy way to build a custom workflows, rules, and alerts so I can best support my customers and any turnaround times. The personalized macros really increase Agent productivity too. Cons Can be challenging to manage customer users and keep that list up-to-date.
