"Built for Efficiency and Reliability"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Zendesk for Customer Service?

One thing I like about Zendesk for Customer Service is that after using it for some time, it becomes quite easy to use. At the beginning it may seem a bit complex, but once you get familiar with the system and where everything is located, it becomes much more intuitive. After that, it helps a lot with organizing tickets and managing customer requests efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk for Customer Service?

Sometimes, when there are many tickets in the system, customers can experience issues with their tickets being assigned correctly, and a few requests may get overlooked. Improving the way tickets are routed and tracked could make the experience smoother and ensure every customer request is handled efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Zendesk likes to work with their subscribers"
4/5
What do you like best about Zendesk for Customer Service?

Zendesk has strived to maintain a relevant presence in the ticketing world, and I have found that their improvements to reporting as well have been welcome updates. I am not convinced that there is much say from the community that drives their product updates, but they are well-versed in modernization and proactively work to be competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk for Customer Service?

Sometimes the minor things (like having a ticket date showing the day of the week that it was created rather than the actual date) are inconvenient, but more from the perspective of an annoyance rather than a showstopper. Zendesk could respond better to their community of subscribers. It's free feedback that is being given. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Ticketing with Room for Improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Zendesk for Customer Service?

Zendesk for Customer Service provides a clean and intuitive interface that makes it easy to manage customer conversations across multiple channels. Navigating between tickets, customer profiles, and internal notes is straightforward, which helps agents work efficiently even with high ticket volumes. The implementation process was smooth, especially for basic setup like configuring email channels, groups, and ticket fields. Once the system was live, automation tools such as triggers, macros, and SLAs significantly reduced repetitive work and improved response consistency. The platform also offers a wide range of features including reporting dashboards, knowledge base management, role-based permissions, and multi-channel support, making it suitable for growing teams. It integrates well with other business tools, which helps sync customer data and reduces manual updates. Overall, it serves as a central hub that I rely on daily to track tickets, collaborate with team members, and monitor performance metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk for Customer Service?

The pricing can increase quickly as additional features or higher-tier plans are required. Some advanced configuration options, especially around automation and reporting, require time to fully understand and optimize. While the platform is feature-rich, certain customization options for dashboards and analytics are limited unless you upgrade. Customer support resources are helpful, but for more complex configurations, resolution may take longer than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Zendesk is by far the best platform for customer support companies."
5/5
What do you like best about Zendesk for Customer Service?

Zendesk continues to update its technology in line with the standards I previously shared. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk for Customer Service?

Honestly, Zendesk can be a bit of a headache to set up, often requiring a dedicated expert just to get the workflows right. Their pricing is also pretty frustrating, as they tend to lock the most useful features behind their most expensive plans. To top it off, the interface feels a bit disconnected, and for a company that sells support software, their own customer service can be surprisingly hard to reach.

"Ease with Some Key Limitations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Zendesk for Customer Service?

I like the ease of writing messages in Zendesk for Customer Service and the clear visualization of customer history. This helps me ensure that the entire customer history is related to that specific email and that person. Additionally, I found the initial setup of Zendesk for Customer Service very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk for Customer Service?

The integration with the translation tool, which comes with Zendesk itself, fails constantly and sometimes does not appear as available. Furthermore, I still think that the option to delay sending a message, in case I send a wrong message, should be reactivated, but it no longer appears for me.

What do you like best about Zendesk for Customer Service?

Zendesk makes handling customer support feel organized and manageable, even when ticket volume is high. Everything emails, chats and customer history is available in one place, which makes responding faster and more consistent. What i like most is how flexible and scalable it is. Automation macros, and clear workflows save a lot of time, and the reporting helps teams understand where improvements are needed. Overall it makes customer service smoother, more efficient and less chaotic for both agents and customer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zendesk for Customer Service?

Zendesk can feel a bit overwhelming at first because there are so many features and configuration options. It takes time to set up properly and can be confusing for new users. another thing is pricing, many useful features and integrations are locked behind higher plans, which can e tough for smaller teams. also when ticket volume is high the interface can feel slightly cluttered. i Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
