August 8, 2025 5.0 Overal best experience mainly auto assignment , business rules, third party apploication integration and dashboard customization,work delegation these features are very good. Customer support also very first and always available to answer the queries.Support team Pros As a System Admin,I see as a reliable and Scalable help desk tool that simplifies ticket management and boost efficiency through automation and integration. It's role base access and AI features like zia enhance support workflows,through some advanced options require higher tier plans. Overall it meets the core needs of IT service management with solid flexibility and security. Cons What i like least about is its steep learning curve- especially when configuring advanced workflows or custom modules. Some features like deep analytics and MS Team integration,are only available higher tier plans,which can be limiting for smaller teams. Customization option for notification, for indivisual incident and service requst option, and layout could be more flexible. Switched from [ServiceNow](https://www.capterra.com/p/254088/ServiceNow/) We switched from ServiceNow to to simplify our support operations with a more cost-effective and user-friendly platform. Zoho Desk offers easier customization, better integration with other Zoho apps, and flexible automation. Review Source TC Tom C. IT Technician Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great facilities at a great price" March 24, 2025 5.0 Positive, allows a MAT (Multi Academy Trust) to centralise our IT Service Desk and support every school in the trust Pros The layout and usability is excellent. Being able to separate locations by departments allows us to see all tickets on one screen if needs be Cons Sometimes settings are hard to find without reading articles on the knowledge base or asking someone Switched from [Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk](https://www.capterra.com/p/102709/Spiceworks-IT-Help-Desk/) Features and facilities and wanted to be cloud based rather than locally hosted Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Architectural specialist Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Less user friendly desk" May 12, 2026 3.0 In larger projects with many ongoing requests, the interface could also feel slightly crowded. However, after using it regularly, it became easier to manage and navigate. Overall, the system was useful, but there was definitely a learning curve in the beginning when trying to adapt it to specific project or team requirements. Pros The platform was practical for tracking customer requests and technical issues in one place and in office we can follow the process. Cons One thing I liked least about was that some customization and automation settings could be a bit complicated at first, especially for new users. It sometimes took time to understand how to configure workflows or organize tickets efficiently. Review Source MS Mallory S. Clinical Operations Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Tool for Managing Tasks and Responding to Client Inquiries " February 24, 2026 4.0 Our department uses primarily to handle client issues and questions. We are able to transfer tickets to other departments as necessary or respond directly to the client. We use this also as a way to keep track of certain client related tasks. When they have a specific request we can track and update the progress using the status selections. Pros I like that you can sync notifications into Cliq so you are notified quickly of new tickets. I like that you can tag and comment privately within tickets and save contact information for future use. Cons Sometimes it can be hard to find older tickets that you want to reference. You typically have to go to an advanced search which is not always easy to access. Review Source AH Autumn H.

Whilst our agents are now familiar, we are still running into technical gremlins on a regular basis with no resolution. Pros Once our agents had familiarised themselves with the platform, they found it easy to complete their day to day tasks. Easily setup round robin assignment, which isn’t always included on some platforms. Cons Migrating from our existing email system was a poor experience. The support team is really poor, often tending to not understand the product or refer you to a dedicated ‘Deluge’ team for basic functionality Alternatives considered [Zendesk Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/164283/Zendesk/) Reason for choosing Zoho Desk was a cheaper alternative than Zendesk.

It is widely considered a reliable, structured foundation for customer support, particularly for teams that are scaling beyond spreadsheets or basic email Pros One of the most loved features is the unified dashboard. It pulls in customer interactions from email, live chat, social media (like WhatsApp and Facebook), and phone calls into a single view. This prevents "tab fatigue" and ensures no customer query gets lost in the shuffle. Cons Because is so highly configurable, it can be overwhelming for new teams. Users often report that setting up complex features like Blueprints (workflow automation) requires significant trial and error. The interface is packed with features, which can feel cluttered or "text-heavy" compared to more minimalist competitors like Intercom. Review Source HL Harsh L.

Pros I use for submitting tickets and receiving tickets which has really changed the way my company and myself takes on tickets from our customers.

Pros Zohodesk helps us to effectively communicate with our customers in several ways:- It enables us to create effective create quote forms with automatic payment options attached. This works in the way that when a client requests a free quote. We usually include a payment option at the bottom of the quote that will permit the client to directly make their payment (PayPal and Stripe) after quote acceptance. We also urge them to quickly sign and agree to our business terms before payment is initiated.-We use it to create automatic recurring payments based on the contract type with the client.- It also helps to manage support tickets and follow up with any issues our clients might be facing.The most fascinating part of it is that ZohoDesk handles everything internally Cons Even though the free version is limited, but yet, we still get the best out of it.

Pros I like the customization of the system, creation of workflows, and automation Cons I would like the function to be included natively to close a ticket permanently after a specific number of days.Since one of the deficiencies is that I have clients who sometimes respond to emails from a few months ago and the ticket is reopened, there is an option to open a new ticket based on that type of responses but it is only with the highest subscription which is the enterprise and my subscription is the standard one.

June 23, 2023 4.0 Pros Email management, this was the whole reason the company I work for got . We have been using just a normal email provider and it made it hard for us to maintain accountability if a colleague did not sign the email with their name. Zoho desk made it easy to make sure the workload was evenly assigned and provided us with the ability to maintain accountability when errors were made with customer responses. When new emails came in it would assign it to whoever was working emails for that time being, if the person who got assigned the emails wasn't able to respond with or know the answer to the question the customer was asking it would be easy for them to reassign the emails to somebody else that would be able to respond correctly. The integration of Zoho desk was easy it didn't take us long to get the hang of it. Cons The one thing I least like about the whole task was the ability to merge tickets. We weren't able to really merge them as quickly and easily as we thought we would be able to, even though this might have been due to our Administration disabling the ability for us to do so, it would be nice if that option was just kept open.
