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 Zendesk Suite 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 Zendesk Suite 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 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 aG ady G. E Commerce Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Customer facing its a sold application" February 3, 2025 4.0 Overall we still use it on our main website as its reliable and does what it says it does out of the tin. Pros Works perfectly and interface is nice from a customer perspective Cons We found it difficult to setup workflows and after the initial installation haven't managed to go any further in depth with it. Alternatives considered [WhatsApp](https://www.capterra.com/p/180345/WhatsApp/) Reason for choosing Zendesk Suite The ease to deply zendesk across our network at our main office, where whatsapp struggled with multiple users at the time. Review Source DJ Derek J. Owner Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ease of Communication with Customers" November 21, 2024 5.0 Zendesk has made our communications way easier. Once we set it up correctly, it's increased our support for customers. Pros Zendesk allows us to stay connected with customers. With the ticketing system, we are able to reply to all customer emails promptly without missing any communications. The ability to create tickets through the API, external email, and their web plugin is integral in our communication. The FAQ help through the web plugin also helps cut down on questions and provides our customers with a convenient way to answer questions on their own, before needing to reach out to us. Cons Setup can be a bit confusing with managing users in both admin and the support sections of the suite. Other setup issues was the complexities of macros and making sure multiple emails creates a thread correctly. Switched from [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) We weren't able to keep track of all the emails and some things were lost, not followed up on, etc. Zendesk made tracking emails over longer periods of time way easier.

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.

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. 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 AA Ali A. System Administrator Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zendesk Suite easy to use" September 22, 2024 3.0 My overall experience with Zendesk Suite has been positive, as it effectively centralizes customer support with a user-friendly interface and helpful automation tools. The platform makes it easy to manage tickets and integrate third-party apps, which improves both workflow and team collaboration. However, as the organization grows, the pricing can become a challenge, especially for accessing premium features. Pros Zendesk Suite offers a seamless, user-friendly interface that simplifies ticket management and customer support. Its robust automation features help streamline workflows, reducing manual tasks and improving efficiency. Additionally, the platform integrates easily with various third-party tools, enhancing its overall flexibility and functionality. Cons Zendesk Suite can become costly as you scale, with additional fees for advanced features and customization options. Alternatives considered [JIRA Service Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/227102/JIRA-Service-Management/) Reason for choosing Zendesk Suite I chose Zendesk Suite for its intuitive interface, robust automation capabilities, and seamless integration with third-party tools, which provided a more comprehensive and scalable solution compared to other options.

Head of Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good ticketing and support tool" January 21, 2025 4.0 A good system all round, I’ve used it at both small and large companies and it’s helped us serve and support our customers. Pros Great ticketing system with decent live chat. Good for building a knowledge base that’s user friendly and simple to setup. Good for both small and large organisations. Cons it’s not the most flexible system to customise. Alternatives considered [HelpDesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/185973/HelpDesk/) Reason for choosing Zendesk Suite Ease of setup, good chat, and past experience with zendesk tools.

Marketing manager Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Reliable customer support platform, with strong integration capabilities" November 7, 2024 5.0 It helped us a lot for providing a good and fast customer service over various channels. Despite a few drawbacks in customization options, this suite represents one of the best platforms for customer support. Pros Intuitive user interface, fast and easy to use. It brings together all support channels like as email, chat, social media, etc. into one platform, which makes easier the support service. Great integration with other software. Cons There are limited customization options for advanced users, also pricing can be quite high for smaller businesses. Switched from [Freshdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/124981/Freshdesk/)[Zoho Desk](https://www.capterra.com/p/169505/Zoho-Desk/) Analytics tools and advanced features less performing than Zendesk Review Source MY Melony Y. Senior Director of Consumer Support Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zendesk is a "Must have" for our contact center!" December 16, 2025 4.0 It has been reliable and stable for us. The learning curve for new employees is swift and easy. The reports make KPI reporting easy! Pros Zendesk offers amazing value for the annual cost. Zendesk is easy to use, mostly easy to set up and offers robust integrations with all of our other support platforms; even our phone contact center. Prior to Zendesk, employees had multiple tabs to navigate, and Zendesk has simplified these processes. The reporting and analytics get better each year. I can always reach my account manager with ease. Cons The area that Zendesk needs to focus on is their own support. With their push to move to AI services, they have a very low bar with their own. First of all, you have to navigate the AI chat that never, and I mean NEVER gets what I'm asking. Then, there is a long wait to speak to a human. Very often, they don't ask clarifying questions and provide a link to an irrelevant article. I almost always have to escalate in order to solve the problem we're having. Fortunately, Zendesk has been very reliable so we don't usually have performance issues, but often need support and guidance to troubleshoot, set things up, or change something on our end and I have ended up frustrated with their support all but one time. As the leader of my support team, I would never pay for AI tools that provided this level of support. My other wish is that they provided Admin training and testing free. 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 Zendesk Suite 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 Zendesk Suite 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.

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 DD Dennis D. Business Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It does the job well." June 17, 2025 4.0 The overall experience has been quite positive. As I said above, there's very little lacking in any area for a clean and easy solution. Some other solutions offer more features but often more features is not always what I want if they don't work well. Pros I really like the help desk / ticketing features and it's very easy to use once it's all set up and deployed. Even the deployment and initial configuration is pretty straight forward. Cons There's not a whole lot that I don't like about Zendesk's products. Sometimes, in the past, I found it lacking in the reporting department. Especially when it comes to the ticketing side. Review Source HN Harshad N. Technical Support Expert Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tickets and call management platform" February 24, 2025 4.0 The Zendesk is one of the best manageable tools for ticket management which I have worked on yet. Navigating options, dashboard, calling partners using integrated extensions, and using AI for ticket summary all are super easy and a minute job to understand. In office environment performance is absolutely good and the environment is secure as well. Pros 1\. Well and easily integrated platform with all the necessary extensions required in ticket handling. 2. Secured and reliable platform. The dashboard is extremely easy to navigate and see the options directly. 3. We can see the history of the ticket and can create and search for relevant KBs directly in the ticket panel only. Calculating the workforce, and doing chats and calls is just perfect and won't require any guidance to start and work. Cons 1\. Interface is very slow if the laptop gets disconnected from the company VPN and directly connects to the internet. 2. Chat on Zendesk by using a mobile is not very appropriate and recommended.

I have used ZD for a few years now, and it is constantly advancing to allow for the most advanced automations for Customer Support. Cons I wish Zendesk had a better secure email vault built into the product. It is currently the only gap I have identified within my use case, and wish they would invest in a document/email vault for secure information to be stored and passed. 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 Zendesk Suite 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 LS Laura S. Benefits Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Accessible and easy to use!" November 16, 2025 5.0 Pros I have only used Zendesk Suite in one company, however I would say that it was a product that everyone was able to access immediately with no issues, i.e. it is easily accessible to all. Cons It is not the most visually pleasing compared to similar products which means that it can feel a little outdated on first glance, but because of the simplicity it means that it is easily accessible with no additional unnecessary add-ons. Review Source GT Gligor T. Senior IT Engineer Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good setup for help desk operations" July 16, 2025 5.0 Pros I could establish a public knowledge base decreasing the amount of repeat questions. By using Zendesk, I can track what articles get the most views and therefore find out where I’m providing value and where I’m making a hole. Cons Merging two or more different customer messages sent over different channels into a single thread isn’t always automatic with such confusion in tracking resolution steps or audit trails. Review Source JJ Jobin J. Senior Platform Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ticketing system" December 17, 2025 4.0 Pros The ticketing system is well structured, and the automation features help save time. The reporting tools are useful for tracking team performance and monitoring overall efficiency. Cons The initial setup can take a bit of time. Some advanced features also require a solid learning curve to be used effectively. Review Source SJ Susan J. PCR certified technician Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Multi faceted app " December 22, 2025 4.0 Unlike the feature and the ability to have so much information in one place for calls and updates on profiles and other information. Pros Ease of use , and the ability to have it updated as needed for growing company and multiple issues for different levels of staff . Cons Some glitches can be annoying but , IT is wonderful . when you learn to navigate it , it’s like riding a bike . Review Source DL David L.

Technical Support Officer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Follow up reminders for unresolved issues are set up" May 21, 2025 5.0 Pros It has helped me bring some order to my support operations. And allows me to keep SLA goals and respond on time and informs me about ticket history with built in ticket flow automating tools. Cons Sometimes it limits me the way Zendesk suite handles follow up tickets when a ticket is closed. When a customer replies after closure, he creates a new thread instead of responding to previous one. Review Source MB Malkiel B. Customer Service Supervisor Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zendesk if a very complete software for customer service and IT" December 30, 2024 5.0 The ticketing system, filtering tickets, and how you are able to asign tickets in the system, it was very good to manage customer service for online stores, tickets for IT, and much more. it was an Excellent service. Pros What I liked the most about Zendesk is all the features it contains to manage customer service and technical support, it is really a complete software and ecosystem. Cons The chat service service to use for customer service, we had to use a different CRM for the chat service. Review Source CJ Céline J.

It’s well designed — Zendesk Suite even lets beginners figure things out thanks to how easy it is to use and its friendly, intuitive interface. It’s a perfect tool for creating tickets and talking to clients across different channels. I really like it for how efficient the customer service is.
