Zendesk Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zendesk Suite with Strong Automation and Powerful Scalability" December 17, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with has been very positive. It provides a centralized platform to manage customer interactions across multiple channels, making support operations more organized, efficient, and scalable. It’s especially valuable for growing teams that need automation, analytics, and consistency in customer services. Pros offers strong value for money considering the wide range of features included - ticketing, automation, analytics, and omnichannel support. The interface is clean and intuitive for agents, making it easy to manage tickets and workflows. Customer Support/Client Support is reliable and professional. Zendesk integrates well with sales workflows, especially when used alongside Zendesk Sell or CRM tools. It helps align sales and support teams by providing context around customer interactions. The platform is generally stable, but sometimes bugs and issues or we can say performance slowdowns occur,after some updates in plateform. Most issues are minor and are resolved quickly through patches or support assistance. Cons Advanced configurations will take your time to learn and then impliment. Pricing can be expensive for small startups because some useful and more advance features are locked behind higher plans. Review Source LS Leonardo S. Support Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Getting started with Zendesk from scratch" December 29, 2025 4.0 As a self-taught Zendesk Admin, having an engaged community that supports one another made it easier for me to understand the and provide quick and efficient support to customers. Especially in LATAM, where WhatsApp is widely used, the native integration with Meta makes all the difference. Pros Excellent customer support platform, making it easy to centralize service channels (such as email, WhatsApp, Instagram DM). The integration possibilities also make a difference, making it easy to incorporate other third-party channels. Cons Many simple but useful features are left out in order to focus on new products. The community provides constant feedback, but with a focus on AI features, the Zendesk team has not tried to improve the experience of existing products (except for UI improvements).

Customer Service Agent Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zendesk solves customer support issues" April 6, 2026 3.0 Pros Very simple to use and fast. We have only a few functionalities but it has enough ones to manage your support tickets. Cons Being simple is good but it could have some more features like reporting or integrating with other applications like Gchat or Gmail. Review Source Mai M. Managing Director Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Moment of Zen" March 27, 2026 5.0 Zendesk definitely feels like a modern approach to customer service! It's a super streamlined model with AI support that creates a fresh way to elevate the customer journey. Pros I love the messaging feature that allows me to connect with clients via multiple platforms. Social, email and even live chat. Cons No cons- I will admit I'm just starting to use it so the learning curve is there but feels like I can adapt and learn quickly. 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 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 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 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 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 MN Mark N. Owner Building Materials Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zendesk hate customers" December 6, 2024 1.0 For a company that makes software focused around customer support it's amazing that their own customer support is so terrible. They don't listen, they don't answer and they don't care. All they want is for you to pay and shut up. Pros Some of the functionality works. I guess it does the job if you want to pay a premium for nothing. Cons The customer service is terrible. They don't care about bugs. If you intend to be an advanced user; building integrations etc then this just won't work out well. Alternatives considered [Dynamics 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/157279/Dynamics-365/)[Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) Reason for choosing Zendesk Suite I really dont know. Maybe I was drunk at the time. Switched from [Freshdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/124981/Freshdesk/) We grew out of Freshworks. Zendesk seemed like the market leader. We were wrong.

Senior Solution Architect Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zendesk Suite: Powering support with confidence" December 16, 2025 5.0 Overall, 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 Systems Administrator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product from a Great Company. " December 27, 2025 5.0 Pros Zendesk and Specifically Support is one of the best tools I have ever used. I was the main administrator for the software and basically lived in it all day. Cons The ability to get ticket info to non users and even light agent was a struggle at times. The cost of an agent is pretty pricey and for someone that needs to see 10 or so tickets a month it simply does not work. Review Source MB Matthew B. Operations Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "“Streamlined Support Operations with Powerful Features”" December 17, 2025 4.0 Overall, my experience with has been positive. It’s a robust and reliable platform that streamlined our customer support operations and improved response times. The flexibility to manage multiple channels and the depth of reporting were major advantages. Although there were some challenges with customization and cost, the benefits in terms of efficiency and customer satisfaction outweighed these drawbacks. Pros I really appreciated the intuitive interface and the ability to centralize multiple support channels in one platform. The automation features, such as triggers and macros, significantly improved efficiency and reduced manual workload. Additionally, the reporting and analytics tools provided clear insights into team performance and customer trends, which helped in making data-driven decisions. Cons While is powerful, some advanced customization options required additional development resources or third-party integrations, which added complexity. The pricing structure can also become expensive as you scale, especially if you need premium features. Lastly, the initial setup and configuration took longer than expected due to the breadth of options available. Review Source MD Michelle D. Academic Experience E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Zendesk for small and midsize teams" July 2, 2025 4.0 Great - it's a such a robust program very stable, no tech issues, and it has been very easy to onboard team members set up macros and build a knowledge base Pros UX is great. The help center/ knowledge base is easy to use and customize, explore is excellent though the filters could be a little more user friendly. Cons The options for smaller teams are not great in terms of features/ pricing. It's missing some key features like in platform DMs and AI ticket summary. Review Source Parsa G. Data Analyst Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid Customer support tool" August 27, 2025 4.0 Great experience. It was very easy to use and customize, as well as training less technical staff on how to efficiently work with the tool. Pros Very easy and convenient to use tool. Supports many customizations and allows for editing/adding filters. Was the main tool for communications and supports with clients and track the progress. Cons Not much to mention. I would say implementing AI assistants is inevitable these days and this part could improve further more.

March 9, 2026 3.0 Overall, while I appreciate the integration of the ticket/case management with personalized customer support, I still don't like the disorganization of threads, and especially now, the subscription-based requirement. Pros I still like that Zendesk allows me to reach customer service across many different fields and has a way of tracing my cases. Cons However, since I started Zendesk, the app started charging for certain packages and services and that dissuaded me from using the app like I did before. Review Source MJ Melanie J. HR Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All Around User Friendly" December 16, 2025 4.0 Zendesk is a great overall tool with a user friendly interface and tools that are easy to use in your day to day. Pros Zendesk is very user friendly for agents, end users and admins compared to other ticketing systems I have used. Cons The latest updates with reporting are difficult to navigate and removed helpful features. I have continued using the legacy versions since I can't understand these. 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 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 LS Laura S. Benefits Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good concrete product but need to address customer service " June 15, 2026 4.0 Pros I have found the continuation of improvement on AI features to be good progress and has helped us keep maturing as a business.

The interface is clean and easy to navigate, and it keeps everything in one place, which makes handling customer queries much smoother. The ability to customise workflows and automate parts of the process is especially helpful, and the reporting tools make it easy to see what’s working well. Overall, it feels reliable and well thought-out. Cons Some of the more useful features are only available on higher plans, which can be a bit limiting. Setting everything up initially takes a bit of time, especially if you want to get the automations just right. Review Source AH Anthony H. I.T. Systems Administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A truly Zen experience when using Zendesk" December 3, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with Zendesk has been amazing. It is a tool that I use constantly and consistently, day in and day out. It makes managing tickets across multiple sites on prem and remotely a breeze. Zendesk is my favorite ticket system solution. Pros My favorite aspect of the is the support section. I use it every day for managing support tickets across many sites. Cons I did not like that Zendesk doesn't have a native dark mode feature. Nobody likes looking at a pure white background on a webpage. Luckily Zendesk is compatible with multiple dark mode applications and extensions. Review Source CH Crystal H. Executive Business Development Strategist Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent way for a team to respond to your customers quickly" January 19, 2025 5.0 Overall, very pleased with ZenDesk for my team to support our customers and users. We are able to respond to tickets quickly and efficiently and it keeps our customers happy. It's much simpler to use than a shared email inbox. Pros ZenDesk is a great tool to address customer inquiries and complaints. My team and I can quickly respond to customer support tickets, tag tickets with keywords, such as "bug, "complaint", "praise" and more. We are able to also set the status for each ticket and assign to a specific user. The user interface is very simple and user-friendly. You don't get lost in the details of the tool because it's straight forward. Cons The spell check feature lags a bit from time to time, so it's easy to send a response with an error when responding quickly. It's also susceptible to spam inquiries. My team and I get several (10-20) spam inquiries written in Chinese on a daily basis. They are aware of the issues, however, there has not been resolution for quite some time.

It enabled me to keep track of all the customer requests without losing context and easy way to respond back and upsell. Cons In a few cases, tickets didn’t get routed correctly per priority rules slowing down response times when the team was really busy. Review Source sL sinwu L. team leader Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "perfect way for customer management" March 1, 2025 5.0 Although initial setup was difficult at first, using Zendesk was the best choice for many reasons. If you want to significantly improve the efficiency of your customer support team, give it a try! I think it will be a good solution to improve the effective service quality of customer management. Pros I most liked the way Zendesk allows you to communicate with customers through various channels. It seems that more effective customer management has been possible because customer communication can be managed comprehensively in one place! The automated response system was also much more effective, reducing the workload. I like that I can check various data at a glance, such as performance indicators, through the dashboard. Cons While using the various features, there aren't many things I particularly like. Although a mobile app is provided, it is a bit inconvenient that some functions are limited compared to when using it at a desk. But other than that, I like many other aspects.
