Excellent product, Poor training options.

9 /10

What differentiates Zendesk for Service from other similar products?

In my experience with Help Scout and Vantive, Zendesk is much more polished. It has more integrations and the interface is simple, nice to see, and friendly. The admin tools it offers are second to none and the chance to add you own knowledge base within the tool is super helpful both for agents and for our customers. Also, I love the reporting tool, Explore, which is super complete and easy to use.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It's an all-in-one solution that really does the trick.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I am more oriented to real-time learning, and they only have self-learning material. Personalized onboarding is non-existent, and I spend way more time learning that I have time for. Being a pricey tool, I would have expected at least one onboarding session.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Try to get a prepaid training before purchasing the suite. Apart from that, the tool is very powerful.

Pros

Reliable
Performance Enhancing
Enables Productivity
Helps Innovate

Cons

Less Effective Service
Charges for Enhancements
Wastes Time
