My overall experience with Zoho Desk is positive. It's a reliable & well structured help desk solution that makes managing customer support much easier. The platform brings tickets from multiple channels like email, chat, social media & phone into one place and helps the support team stay organized & responsive. What has worked well: Zoho Desk does a great job with ticket management & automation. Features like automatic ticket assignment, SLAs and priority rules help ensure customer queries are handled on time. Its multi-channel support works smoothly & prevents requests from being missed. Integration with other Zoho product such as Zoho CRM & Zoho Analytics adds a lot of value by giving better customer context & reporting. The interface is easy to use & onboarding new team members is quick. What hasn't worked well: Some areas of the platform feel less polished, especially the advanced reporting & customization options which can be limited or require higher plans. The UI in some sections feels slightly outdated & setting up complex automation rules can be time taking.Read all insights and reviews for Zoho Desk

Zendesk functions as a robust platform that effectively centralizes our high volume of tickets. It potentially provides the scalability for a high-growth environment like ours (I say potentially because it is directly correlated to the level of integration to our backoffice data, which currently is limited), though it requires a significant operational commitment to maintain, and also to implement and sustain AI improvements. It is not so much of a "plug and play" tool and more of an ecosystem that thrives only with dedicated administration and clear internal processes.Read all insights and reviews for Zendesk for customer service

I have found after a initial struggle in using the system to create change records that the system is now working really well for my requirements. I can now easily create production changes and use the scheduling and workflow features to help with my day to day deployments. I did have to do some training to get to this point but after initial learning curve I am more than happy to use the product.Read all insights and reviews for ServiceNow Customer Service Management
