Zendesk Suite Erfahrungen

Vorteile

Als Nutzer von Zendesk bin ich von der einfachen Bedienung und der intuitiven Benutzeroberfläche begeistert. Die Plattform bietet zahlreiche Integrationen mit anderen Tools und Anwendungen, was mir eine Flexibilität in der Nutzung ermöglicht und meine Arbeit erleichtert.Besonders schätze ich die Personalisierungsmöglichkeiten von Zendesk, mit denen ich das Kundenerlebnis optimieren kann. Das effektive Ticketverwaltungssystem und das zentrale Dashboard zur Überwachung von Supportanfragen sind unersetzlich in meinem Arbeitsalltag und erleichtern mir die Organisation und Bearbeitung von Kundenanliegen.Ein weiterer Pluspunkt sind die Analysetools und die umfassende Berichterstattung, die mir helfen, die Effizienz meines Teams zu steigern und somit auch die Kundenzufriedenheit langfristig zu verbessern. Insgesamt bin ich von Zendesk überzeugt und kann die Plattform jedem empfehlen, der eine zuverlässige und effektive Kundensupport-Lösung sucht.

Nachteile

Einige Nachteile, die ich bei der Nutzung von Zendesk erfahren habe. Einer dieser Nachteile ist der hohe Preis, der vor allem für kleine Unternehmen eine Hürde sein kann. Ein weiterer Kritikpunkt ist der begrenzte Speicherplatz, der mir in der Vergangenheit schon das ein oder andere Mal Probleme bereitet hat. Auch die begrenzten Exportmöglichkeiten und die fehlende Möglichkeit, eigene Templates zu gestalten, sind für mich Nachteile der Plattform.Insgesamt denke ich jedoch, dass Zendesk eine empfehlenswerte Kundensupport-Lösung ist, die viele Vortei

Vorteile

Echtzeit Benachrichtigung ist top, also hat uns als Team sehr gut geholfen. Außerdem hat der Software viele hilfreiche Tools, die man nutzen kann, um der Zusammenarbeit zu verbessern.

Nachteile

Von mir aus war kostet einbisschen höher als die anderen Software

Vorteile

Es ist sehr einfach zu bedienen und macht den Kundensupport sehr einfach. Ein Kunde zwei Mitarbeiter? Kein Problem. Läuft reibungslos

Nachteile

Beim starten oftmals etwas langsam. Kann aber auch am Arbeitsspeicher liegen

Vorteile

Dass man viele Möglichkeiten hat sich besser zu informieren um die Software besser zu verstehen

Nachteile

So viele Möglichkeiten können zur Orientierungslosigkeit führen

Vorteile

Die einfache Handhabung und der gute Überblick der bereitgestellt wird

Nachteile

Die komplizierten Beschreibungen und Unterpunkte

Vorteile

It is easy to use. When new engineers arrive, it is very fast to register them in the portal so that they can begin to attend support tickets.
For customers it is a tool that allows you to keep track of the hours that are billed according to the Tickets and even with the reports you can keep track of who reports and who fails to report.

Nachteile

The licensing scheme could improve.
In particular, we have two subscriptions to Zendesk, one for use by external clients and one for our internal users. For our internal users we do not require so many functionalities, only the basics, but among what we require is the chat service, only for this we have to jump to a subscription scheme that increases internal costs. Having this feature from the lowest script would be a good thing for us.

Zoho Desk

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zendesk Suite

We had used other Zoho tools. But the best fit at the time was the price and being able to start with a very basic scheme of agents to test. So with a low initial investment we were able to implement the solution and start working, as soon as we saw its virtues we decided to stick with it.

Vorteile

I love that Zendesk is easy to use for the Knowledge Base. We can easily share information with our clients through articles, and adding images and videos is a seamless process as well. The CSS/HTML editing is easy to work in as well! I love being able to make the articles look professional. I also like that the ticketing system is easy to search and to add integrations.

Nachteile

The flow of the ticket responses is not super easy to read, but this could be just a picky-me thing. It's much better than what we used to have!

Vorteile

Zendesk suite had a variety of features chich include managing of support tickets, customer base management, and supports live chat. Its also pretty simple to use.

Nachteile

At times it just be comes slow to respond which is so frustrating.

Vorteile

Zendesk functions as designed with multiple users

Nachteile

We have been a Zendesk customer for going on 3 years. Longtime, loyal customer. I have been in contact with them since the end of August of 2022 requesting a seat reduction. It is now April 2023. They, of course, allow you to add seats very easily, but you must contact them to reduce your number of seats. At a cost of $100 per seat per month, these prices make a difference for a small business. Within the last year, they have made it so they do not have a centralized mailbox, no phone number, and there's no way to get in contact with their finance team directly, so I am getting one response from our "account manager" every 2 weeks, if I'm lucky. This means that I am continuing to be charged for the higher number of seats while I wait for him to go back and forth with the finance team. For a company that is supposed to support customer service, this has been a truly terrible customer service experience.

Vorteile

The one impactful feature for me with Zendesk is the user analytics. I can easily track which user has seen the help desk content and who has not. Also the customizations are good

Nachteile

The default templates for building knowledge base is not impressive. Also, the overall design of the platform could be better as it is not very user friendly

Vorteile

Visibility of all emails and times received was a good feature of this. Also could categorise the priority of the ticket request.

Nachteile

With the visibility of emails, we had incidents where a mail was forwarded to another employee thinking it was just to them, but the customer could see the email chain! This could've massively disrupted our business for future shipments, and a big reason why we stopped using it

Vorteile

We can easily chat with our client and get their details to add in our portal.

Nachteile

The sound of the app. I don't know if I am the only one who doesn't like the notification sound.

Vorteile

The Zendesk Suite is an all-in-one platform that provides a comprehensive set of tools for managing customer support, including ticketing, live chat, phone assistance, knowledge management, and more. Workflows, automation rules, and reporting may all be easily customized, making it simple to adapt to various company demands and procedures. For a smooth customer support experience, this product may be linked with a broad range of other tools and platforms, like Salesforce, Shopify, and Jira. Regardless of the customer's preferred means of contact, these solutions enable organizations to offer consistent, high-quality assistance. These tools provide help for consumers across numerous channels, including email, chat, social media, phone, and more. This application offers AI-powered capabilities to help organizations save time and increase customer satisfaction, such chatbots and automated workflows.

Nachteile

Although Zendesk Suite does offer customization possibilities, some customers might discover that the amount of customization offered is insufficient to match their unique demands or business procedures.

Vorteile

Easy to user, basic and friendly for not IT users.

Nachteile

I would like to have more options to tag messages and less tickets around

Vorteile

I like Zendesk's robust ticketing capabilities. Despite its high price, it's an extremely powerful CRM tool when compared to competitors. Zendesk allows customizable business flow, analytic capabilities, and a knowledge base platform that can be utilized for operational optimization. Zendesk is also capable of integrating with other systems such as Workday through API.

Nachteile

Sometimes, I felt that Zendesk has a lot of limitations. For example, when creating business rules, you cannot use the AND and OR function, it's either AND or OR per one business rule. When utilizing Zendesk for internal use, Zendesk still lacks lots of functions such as conversation history, child-ticket, and etc. Even though some of them are already available on Zendesk Marketplace, these add-ons should be free rather than asking us to pay extra for them. Also, the technical customer support is not that useful. Zendesk pride in having 24-hours technical customer support when compared to competitors but out of 10 cases that I asked for, only 1 or 2 cases the technical customer support could help me. Most of the time, our team fixed the issue by ourselves.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zendesk Suite

Zendesk is easy to use, even though it is expensive, it is better than most products.

Vorteile

We are very pleased with this service.

LiveChat

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zendesk Suite

We found Zendesk to be a feature rich tool and was the best fit for our Resort website. We certainly don't regret having chosen Zendesk!

Vorteile

There is nothing Zendesk does that I don't like! The back-end user experience is the greatest I've ever encountered. The integration of Shopify and the capturing of knowledge is effortless. We've been using Zendesk Support for years and I'm sure we've only scratched the surface of what it can accomplish, but for a little business like ours, it's more than enough.

Nachteile

New feature requests should be implemented more quickly, in my opinion. I would also like Zendesk to manage all new implementation requests.

Vorteile

We have connected Zendesk to our contact form on our website, and our phone system. Whenever someone fills out any of our forms, this heads to Zendesk. Whenever someone calls our phone number, Zendesk records the call and also attempts to make a text version of the call (not always the greatest, but not too bad). We no longer have to have someone answer the phone with this service, which has saved us a lot of hassle.

Nachteile

It often feels like Zendesk wants the information to stay within Zendesk. As a small company we may get support emails, sales emails, people applying for jobs, etc. all of which need to get to different people, and it could be easier to get the email directly to that person. The speech-to-text for the calls could be a bit better too (though we appreciate the feature!).

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zendesk Suite

Other products have too many features that were not needed by our company.

Vorteile

It's a great cloud application with great uptime, and it streamlines our job while we're doing live chat with customers to resolve a specific issue. For my team and myself, automating the ticketing process is the ideal solution. When a ticket is created, an automatic email is sent to the client, and when it is resolved or closed, another email is sent to the customer.

Nachteile

Even though I appreciated the functionality and automation, I had to spend a lot of time figuring out how to use the dashboard. This application's pricing is too expensive for an early company since it has functionality that they may not require.

Vorteile

Deployment is quick.A development test bed is available for an extra fee.The search is very accurate.Good selection of ready-made APIs.Flexible API templates.Many useful add-ons in the marketplace.WYSIWYG is stable and allows sandboxing.Scheduling of holidays is taken care of out of the box.Very customisable.Nice and rich reporting engine with good selection of export options.

Nachteile

The settings section is now separated from the main product; why?In previous versions, the settings were under the same window as the product making changes a breeze, now it's clunky with more buttons to push.Human help is not great, phoning help is almost impossible in the UK.When you get someone to call you back the support is not bad though not always aligned with standard 9-5 working days.Many help pages are dated.

Customisation and cloud capability.

Vorteile

The way it delivers the emails to the right customer support agent based on the query. We used to deal with a lot of customers and it is not possible for us to go with the G-mail to solve the customer queries and especially when there are a lot of queries with different categories. we have chosen Zendesk to segregate emails automatically and based on the query and also to which certain emails should fall. We have used the autoreply function for some of the emails where there is a standard reply. It is a pretty good dashboard to track the support tickets as well as team performance.

Nachteile

Not sure, as I didn't find any flaws in my usage time.

Nachteile

Yes Zendesk has recently launched Explore as an analytical tool in replacement to their Insight analytical tool which is not up to the mark and much complex in comparison to Insight. Also their training and learning cost is High which should be reduced.

Vorteile

Zendesk Suite has been an invaluable tool for our business. It's intuitive, easy to use, and provides a comprehensive suite of customer service and support tools. From automating tasks to creating help centers and chatbots, it's become the go-to platform for managing customer interactions.

Nachteile

Although Zendesk Suite is a great tool, it can be a bit pricey for smaller businesses. Additionally, there is a learning curve to using the platform, and it can take some time to get used to the different features and tools.

Vorteile

Zendesk is an excellent tool for the management of requirements or requests. It facilitates the management within my Support Center.
It allows to automate response to our customers. Also, customize the tool according to the type of company.
From this tool I manage to serve the internal and external clients of my organization. As well as, send satisfaction surveys once the support is finished.
Their specific user roles allowed me to implement the tool in the organization in a short time, even without investing much time in training because it has very good material for users on the web.
What I like most about Zendesk is to be able to automate the responses to clients and macros.
Zendesk has elements for case management, live chat, design a knowledge base, have a panel to the client. Since we included this tool in the company we have improved our response levels in the support tickets and with this to customer service.
I like the flexibility of purchase packages or use of the tool, through payment by users or agents. Also, although we have not configured it for now, it is interesting to integrate with VoIP to take the call from customers or interested parties.

Nachteile

Zendesk for being a tool for customer service would be interesting to link or customize good practice agreements at the service level and operational.
We as a client can add response times, and define with a category that is requirements or request and that are incidents.
Next, what features Zendesk would need:
* Add response time according to the type of requirements or request.
* Define type of requests and incidents
* Get graphs by type of incidents
* Get graphs with crossings between service agreements and operational agreements. This would allow us to measure the effectiveness of the support center based on agreements with customers
* Have notifications every time you are consuming the time of a ticket, considering the times of agreements at the service or operational level
* Have a video call
