What differentiates Zendesk for Service from other similar products?

Zendesk has been around for a while and has become a well-recognised platform for providing support. It works very well.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Being able to manage and track multiple support cases with ease. Every agent knows who is dealing with what and when, so it's great to use for a customer support role.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It is a little old-hat now and the UI needs an overhaul. It feels very 90's in the look and feel, and falls behind many other SaaS platforms nowadays in that respect.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you can get past the way it looks, it works fantastically well when set up correctly.
