Zendesk Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zendesk Suite with Strong Automation and Powerful Scalability" December 17, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Zendesk Suite has been very positive. It provides a centralized platform to manage customer interactions across multiple channels, making support operations more organized, efficient, and scalable. It’s especially valuable for growing teams that need automation, analytics, and consistency in customer services. Pros Zendesk Suite offers strong value for money considering the wide range of features included - ticketing, automation, analytics, and omnichannel support. The interface is clean and intuitive for agents, making it easy to manage tickets and workflows. Customer Support/Client Support is reliable and professional. Zendesk integrates well with sales workflows, especially when used alongside Zendesk Sell or CRM tools. It helps align sales and support teams by providing context around customer interactions. The platform is generally stable, but sometimes bugs and issues or we can say performance slowdowns occur,after some updates in plateform. Most issues are minor and are resolved quickly through patches or support assistance. Cons Advanced configurations will take your time to learn and then impliment. Pricing can be expensive for small startups because some useful and more advance features are locked behind higher plans. Review Source BR Brian R. Director of Operations Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Always something that brings more value. " December 9, 2025 5.0 We like the platform and continue to grow into it. Even after 7+ years of being on it, there always seems to be something new. Pros Zendesk has awesome customer support. Often when I think of something I want to do or need, I can message their support and they get me an answer instantly. Their system is feature rich and flexible. Cons Access to the platform can get somewhat pricey. It may be worth it to you though. That will depend on whether or not you take advantage of the many features available to you. Switched from [HelpSpot](https://www.capterra.com/p/53431/HelpSpot/) We needed a comprehensive system that did knowledge management/articles. Userscape was a great budget option for many years but we outgrew it. Review Source CB Christine B. Pilates transformation expert Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great at Customer Service Workflow" April 13, 2026 4.0 Very helpful in simplifying customer service workflow. If they could solve the filtering issues, I’d give them another star. Pros It’s a centralized platform that can manage almost all customer interactions - chat, help desk, email and order management. Cons Major issues with spam and junk email not being filtered out, while real customer emails get lost in the mix. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Admin Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nearly the standard for multichannel customer support options" February 16, 2026 3.0 When attempting to streamline our support efforts, both for customers and for employees, we turned to Zendesk and found that it did exactly what it said it did. For unknown reasons we couldn't get buy-in from all employees though, and ended up looking elsewhere. Pros While they're not completely ubiquitous on the internet, Zendesk is used by many large companies, so it's a clear and efficient customer support structure that is easy to use for customers. Cons While easy to use for customers, some of the backend framework is a little hard to understand for less tech-savvy co-workers. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Systems Administrator Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Ticketing System That Offers Good Perks" December 15, 2025 4.0 An overall good experience which gives you several options/abilities to make resolving tickets seamless. Pros The ability to add/track time spent on tickets, tagging other agents on tickets, and merging tickets if needed. Cons Tickets can sometimes get stuck in "Suspended" which requires you to add the user who sent the ticket within the suite itself. Switched from [Enterprise Service Desk](https://www.capterra.com/p/152682/Enterprise-Service-Desk/) For more efficiency and task/time management. Review Source CB Cynthia B. Manager of Registration Services Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Don’t ever take it away from me! " July 13, 2025 5.0 Excellent from day one. Coming from the agony of replying to each individual client via Gmail and not being able to compare responses or easily locate past interactions to everything and everyone in a single place with a GREAT search function is amazing. Don’t ever take this product away. Pros Managing emails as tickets and having every readily accessible for teams to review interactions that support the quality of everyone’s service is invaluable. I have been a user for 4+ years now across companies and the way it makes you more efficient when responding to clients requests is great. Cons There are few things that could be improved like the reply box covering part of the email response or not being automatically adjusted. Things that I’d personally like but are not dealbreakers. Switched from [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) It was not sustainable anymore. We needed to be aware of all team responses and tracking between clients to support training, service and organization altogether Review Source AE Abraham E. software development Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Comprehensive and Reliable Customer Support Platform" August 30, 2025 5.0 Zendesk Suite provides a robust and reliable customer support solution that streamlines ticket management, automates workflows, and improves team efficiency. While it can be pricey and complex for small teams, its features and scalability make it highly valuable for growing organizations focused on providing excellent customer experience Pros Comprehensive customer support features all in one platform. Intuitive and easy-to-use interface. Strong automation and workflow capabilities. Excellent reporting and analytics. Cons Can be expensive for smaller teams. Some advanced customization requires technical knowledge. Occasional learning curve for new users. Switched from [Salesforce Service Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/136189/Salesforce/) Better integrations, more intuitive interface, and advanced workflow automation. Review Source KY Katie Y. Head of Customer Success Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Leaders in CX? I beg to differ" March 7, 2025 1.0 Our first several years working with Zendesk were pretty good. We rarely required help and the feature set met our needs. About 5 years ago our experience with them started going downhill fast. At this point I would strongly recommend against anyone starting a business relationship with this company. Pros The ticketing system works well most of the time. Cons \- Their support is some of the worst I've ever experienced and keeps getting worse. - Their admin portal is buggy - Their knowledge base tools requires you to learn a new programming language in order to set up a support site. - Their knowledge base tool is buggy. It routinely deletes images from and messes up formatting in active articles. - Their analytics tool is complex and requires a deep understanding of Zendesk architecture to use successfully. - The few valuable features they introduce are made available to enterprise customers only. - Most new development is focused on half-baked call center solutions that don't work as promised and decrease the quality of support offered to both their clients and yours. - They do a terrible job of screening for junk and spam letting a significant numbers of spam and malicious messages through and flagging real customer message en masse after each update. - They do not notify you in any way if your messages can't be delivered (bounces, etc) Alternatives considered [Freshdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/124981/Freshdesk/) Reason for choosing Zendesk Suite Zendesk support was better than Freshdesk (at the time we signed up many years ago) Review Source TW Timothy W. IT Consultant Biotechnology Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Its good but still not perfect" July 1, 2025 3.0 Its good enough for what we are using it for. There are definately features missing that I feel like a big company like Zendesk should have already implemented. Such as, keep tickets closed after customer says Thank you. Pros Powerful ticketing system. Lots of options and features you can use from this. So far its defiantly one of the better ticketing systems outthere. Cons The onboarding with support was honestly pretty terrible. We had this package that was supposed to give us good support and we thought it was white glove service and it was not. Switched from [ManageEngine Endpoint Central](https://www.capterra.com/p/170018/ManageEngine-Desktop-Central/) Needed a more robust system that can support multiple departments in a company. Review Source Meghann O. Manger, Customer Success Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Lots of functionality but difficult to navigate" September 8, 2025 3.0 Pros Zendesk seems to have robust capabilities. It integrates with our CRM so I can see all the communication with our support team right there. Cons It seems complicated and we only have a small piece of functionality set up. When I am tagged on a ticket, it is not intuitive how to get to that ticket immediately. Also seems to easy to send replies to the customer vs posting internal notes. Switched from [Help Scout](https://www.capterra.com/p/136909/Help-Scout/) One of the highest reasons we switched was for the AI capabilities Review Source AT Anita T. Senior Solution Architect Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zendesk Suite: Powering support with confidence" December 16, 2025 5.0 Overall, Zendesk suite serves as a robust and scalable support platform centralizing mulit-stakeholder support, improving response times through automation and self-service capabilities supported with analytics to report on support metrics. Pros Centralized support for multiple stakeholders Knowledge base support for self-service and internal guidance Scalability - can support growing portfolios across cross-functional teams Cons Cost - licensing and add-ons are costly Lacks fine grained permission control for roles Audit trail limited Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Support Operations Specialist Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Intelligent, All-in one support software" September 9, 2025 5.0 Great! Simple enough when you spend enough time in it. It has all the customization that our teams need. I would like to see less add-ons for premium features but a lot are added in with the Enterprise Suite. Pros As an admin, the interface is user friendly and straightforward as well as the training and certification modules they have. Triggers, macros, automations are all great tools for all of your support needs. The customization of being able to add custom apps via API along with pulling other information is simple. Their customer support team is top tear and always quick to respond. Cons They are moving very rapidly in terms of development. Products like Zendesk Ultimate AI is very new and being updated weekly. Sometimes that comes with downsides like not having the most up to date articles. Review Source Roger S. Analista Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Exceptional" January 20, 2026 5.0 I have had a lot of experience and in the coming months, this experience will increase even more. Over time, we will use AI. Pros Through integration with numerous services. Visualization, channel, and reports. Still, we have other automation features that help us. Cons Values in contrast to the American market. Like Talk, it cannot be used in Brazil. Yes, we have to use other integrations. Review Source Parsa G. Data Analyst Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid Customer support tool" August 27, 2025 4.0 Great experience. It was very easy to use and customize, as well as training less technical staff on how to efficiently work with the tool. Pros Very easy and convenient to use tool. Supports many customizations and allows for editing/adding filters. Was the main tool for communications and supports with clients and track the progress. Cons Not much to mention. I would say implementing AI assistants is inevitable these days and this part could improve further more. Review Source DD Dennis D. Business Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It does the job well." June 17, 2025 4.0 The overall experience has been quite positive. As I said above, there's very little lacking in any area for a clean and easy solution. Some other solutions offer more features but often more features is not always what I want if they don't work well. Pros I really like the help desk / ticketing features and it's very easy to use once it's all set up and deployed. Even the deployment and initial configuration is pretty straight forward. Cons There's not a whole lot that I don't like about Zendesk's products. Sometimes, in the past, I found it lacking in the reporting department. Especially when it comes to the ticketing side. Review Source MJ Melanie J. HR Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All Around User Friendly" December 16, 2025 4.0 Zendesk is a great overall tool with a user friendly interface and tools that are easy to use in your day to day. Pros Zendesk is very user friendly for agents, end users and admins compared to other ticketing systems I have used. Cons The latest updates with reporting are difficult to navigate and removed helpful features. I have continued using the legacy versions since I can't understand these. Review Source TG Tim G. Customer Service Executive Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Enabled us to manage multichannel support." June 23, 2025 4.0 Our initial reply time went down by over 50%. Customers now receive faster, more consistent responses, and we can quickly catch repeat issues and improve our product listings or FAQs. Pros We are using Zendesk Suite to track customer questions from email, chat and social media in one view. The macros and ticket routing are a lifesaver for our small team in ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. Cons The learning curve was real. Especially when it came to customizing our help center or setting up any automation. It also starts to get expensive when you move beyond the most basic plans. Review Source Gareth F. Managing Director Executive Office Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I've moved on..." February 3, 2025 4.0 Positive. Suitable for service only, though. Pros Easy to use service software. Browser based phone call made remote team easy. Cons Cost. Sometimes a bit slow. No way to track followup with potential customers. And they keep changing stuff so its a little annoying you have to keep relearning. Review Source AH Anthony H. I.T. Systems Administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A truly Zen experience when using Zendesk" December 3, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with Zendesk has been amazing. It is a tool that I use constantly and consistently, day in and day out. It makes managing tickets across multiple sites on prem and remotely a breeze. Zendesk is my favorite ticket system solution. Pros My favorite aspect of the Zendesk Suite is the support section. I use it every day for managing support tickets across many sites. Cons I did not like that Zendesk doesn't have a native dark mode feature. Nobody likes looking at a pure white background on a webpage. Luckily Zendesk is compatible with multiple dark mode applications and extensions. Review Source GT Gligor T. Senior IT Engineer Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good setup for help desk operations" July 16, 2025 5.0 Pros I could establish a public knowledge base decreasing the amount of repeat questions. By using Zendesk, I can track what articles get the most views and therefore find out where I’m providing value and where I’m making a hole. Cons Merging two or more different customer messages sent over different channels into a single thread isn’t always automatic with such confusion in tracking resolution steps or audit trails. Review Source JJ Jobin J. Senior Platform Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ticketing system" December 17, 2025 4.0 Pros The ticketing system is well structured, and the automation features help save time. The reporting tools are useful for tracking team performance and monitoring overall efficiency. Cons The initial setup can take a bit of time. Some advanced features also require a solid learning curve to be used effectively. Review Source PK Phillip K. IT Support Officer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sound backbone to our support functions" July 16, 2025 5.0 Pros I adored Zendesk intelligent ticket selection with automated assignment by skill set and by workload so my team never missed serious problems and the response time across channels of support shot through the roof. Cons The user roles and permissions felt too restrictive, and that adding new agent groups necessitated using multiple separate admin panels. Review Source Delicia T. Program manager Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good small business program" October 14, 2024 2.0 Overall it is an ok program for a small business. Also making sure everyone is on the same page when using this system took many people in account can cause mass confusion. Pros user friendly and many options for a small business Cons Its a little tricky when trying to find options for voicemail and doesn't keep track of things over 90 days. Review Source MR Maryna R. Customer support representative Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool" April 26, 2025 5.0 Overall, I like it. I think that it was easy to learn to use and get a hang of different options and the best ways to use it every day. Pros It is very easy to use, very user-friendly, and one place for answering calls, emails and live chats. Cons Sometimes I had trouble if the internet connection was lost for a few seconds, it took a minute to reconnect. Review Source AC Alliant C. Support Manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Smooth support available on multiple channels" June 8, 2025 5.0 Pros Using Zendesk Suite, I could see how much support is being provided and how well the team is doing. It works well with many different channels and makes sure no customer message slips through. Cons Sometimes it’s not easy to see at a glance the number of open tickets that each agent is dealing with. Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
