- G2 users highlight that Zendesk Support Suite has a strong community and support resources, but reviewers mention that Insider's quality of support is exceptional, with faster response times and more personalized assistance.
- Users on G2 report that both products cater well to mid-market businesses, but Insider's higher score in meeting requirements indicates that it may better align with specific business needs, particularly in customization and integration capabilities.
