What I like best about Zoho Desk is that it helps us keep client, family, caregiver, and referral communications organized in one place. The ticketing and automation features help ensure follow-up tasks don't get missed, improve accountability among staff, and provide visibility into response times and service issues. This helps us deliver a more consistent experience while maintaining documentation and oversight as we continue to grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Zoho Desk is a powerful platform, some areas can feel overly complex to configure, especially when setting up automations, workflows, and integrations. The large number of customization options can create a learning curve for new users, and certain advanced features require additional setup time to fully utilize. Reporting and dashboard customization can also take some trial and error to get exactly the insights needed. Overall, the flexibility is a strength, but it can sometimes come at the expense of simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The multi-channel support — handling tickets from email, phone calls, social media, walk-ins, and bots — makes it a one-stop solution for any customer support operation. The email-to-ticket conversion works seamlessly, ensuring no customer query goes unnoticed.

The Blueprint feature is a game changer for teams that follow structured workflows. It enforces process compliance and ensures every ticket follows the right path from creation to resolution.

API & Integration:

Zoho Desk's REST API is well-documented and powerful, making it easy to integrate with third-party tools and build custom automations using Deluge scripts.

Room for improvement:

Some API endpoints have limitations, such as the inability to directly assign SLAs programmatically. Better documentation on edge cases would also be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The API documentation lacks clarity in certain areas. Some endpoints behave inconsistently — for example, fields that are visible in GET responses cannot always be updated via PATCH, which can be frustrating during development and custom integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have had a very positive experience using Zoho Desk during our trial period.

The system is easy to use and intuitive for both setup and daily ticket handling. The ticketing process is clear, and it gives us better visibility of ownership, status tracking, and follow-up compared to managing shared mailbox queries only through Outlook.

The integrations and configuration options are also straightforward. Setting up email forwarding, templates, SLAs, workflows, assignment rules, and user access has been practical and easy to understand. Zoho Desk gives us the flexibility to structure the system around our business process without making the setup overly complicated.

Overall, we are happy with Zoho Desk and can see the value it adds in improving query management, accountability, and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much that we strongly dislike about Zoho Desk at this stage. Most of the core functionality has worked well for our needs.

The only areas that took some time to work through were the initial configuration and understanding where certain settings are located. Some setup items, such as workflows, assignment rules, email authentication, and extensions, require a bit of testing before everything works exactly as expected.

It would also be helpful if certain export options were more complete by default, for example being able to easily export or save a full ticket conversation together with all related attachments.

Overall, these are minor points and have not negatively affected our overall experience. Zoho Desk remains easy to use and practical for managing support queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like his strong automation that helps my team with workflow and SLA, and with data analysis of the business.

Also, the integration between Emails, chats, and phone feels like a unified system and no something they just glue together, that make the performance of multiple teams easier to perform and track.

Also the metrics we take from the sisteam is something we can really use and help us give support to our teams on workload.

Finally the integration of Zoho to the teams was really smooth. Zoho assigned a team to help us get in, that, plus the easy to understand user intarface was really easy integration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some more complex automation would be great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Zoho Desk is that it brought organization to something that was previously completely scattered. Requests that came through WhatsApp, email, and direct conversation now have records, history, and assigned responsibility.

I especially like the ability to separate by departments and to see the real volume of demands. This helped reduce interruptions and give more priority to what is truly urgent.

I also consider it positive that it is a scalable tool: you can start with the basics and, as the sector's maturity increases, activate more features. For a small team, it already provides enough structure to move away from improvisation and start working with control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like least about Zoho Desk is that some important integrations, like WhatsApp, are not native and require additional configurations or external tools, which can increase cost and complexity.

I also notice that the difference between the plans is significant: more strategic features, such as more advanced automations and more comprehensive reports, are restricted to the higher plans. For those who are still structuring the process, this can create doubt about which plan really meets the needs without paying more than necessary.

Another point is that the initial setup requires a lot of attention. If departments and channels are not well configured from the start, chat and ticket may behave differently, which can cause confusion in the operation.

Overall, it is a good tool, but it requires technical understanding to get the best out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some UI areas feel cluttered, the mobile app can be slow at times. Reporting customization has limits for advanced queries. The ticket list and detail pane feel cluttered, fewer default columns, collapsible sections, a minimal reply composer, clearer settings grouping and better mobile navigation/loading would really be helpful.

I liked the layout. The app works smoothly, just like all Zoho applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I couldn't change the fields on the ticket viewing screen. When I signed up, I just wanted to see what was available in the free version and ended up not testing the trial version; therefore, I am requesting it again. Additionally, in the ticket fields, some are standard and cannot be edited or removed. I am coming from Freshdesk and I believe Freshdesk is more intuitive regarding the settings.
