I am really enjoying this support platform

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Zendesk for Service from other similar products?

As a user, I find the support platform quite satisfactory and the activation mechanism seems fantastically adaptable and dynamic. The fact that form fields can now be searched is fantastic. For future improvements, the market is ideal. When it comes to standardizing user responses, macros are fantastic.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Both the Zendesk dashboard and support views have potential. It would be great if the online support portal could be improved to better accommodate internal requesters, who are occasionally agents, and restricted so that not just anyone could use it.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Most of our work involves helping customers with various requests, questions and technical difficulties. Agent productivity improves with easy-to-use views.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For all of our support queries, we use the ticket dashboard. Sending an email to the support address automatically creates a new ticket in HubSpot and notifies the appropriate parties.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Reliable
Effective Service
Saves Time
