One of the best service management solutions

What differentiates Zendesk for Employee Service from other similar products?

Zendesk has become a de facto industry standard and is used by many companies across the world. It has great features for customer support, however it still lacks functionalities to manage an internal (e.g. ITIL based) service desk.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ease of use is one of the best things about this solution, together with the breadth of features.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The solution is quite pricey for internal use if you have a lot of customer service agents as it is priced per technician. The fact that there is no on-prem solution can be an issue with GDPR, as the data is all stored in the cloud.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Run a trial period prior to purchase.

Pros

Enables Productivity
Reliable
Performance Enhancing
Effective Service

Cons

Vendor Friendly Policies
Less Generous
Leverages Incumbent Status

Helpful platform for customer support inquiries

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Zendesk for Employee Service from other similar products?

I think Zendesk is great for customer support inquiries. Being able to keep certain tickets such as customers reporting product defects or complaints is easy to keep organized.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like how easy the reporting feature is to use which makes it a seamless process to present to our leadership team.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I wish Zendesk was a little more customizable when it comes to reporting. Being able to get really granular with reports is a win when presenting to other team members.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend looking into making the platform more quality assurance and compliance friendly so documenting complaints and exporting them is easier.
