“Editor flexibility and power stand out despite confusing navigation”
Overall, Zendesk meets our needs pretty well. My team uses it for creation and maintenance of Help Center content (product documentation, how-to articles, product overviews, FAQs, etc.), and also for publishing release notes externally. Other teams also use Zendesk's support features, but I can't comment about those. We use the Knowledge tool (formerly called Guide, I believe). The editor experience for all manner of Help Center content is really second-to-none. I know, because we've recently completed comparisons against five of Zendesk's competitors. Their current-gen editor started out rough, but these days (and for the last several months) it has been superior to almost everything else, and a peer with maybe one other solution. And that editor experience is critical to me and my team.

Unified Workspace Enhances Efficiency While Zendesk’s Cost Structure Limits Accessibility
Zendesk remains the gold find for scalability and centralization, especially with the CAL integration now. It's a powerhouse that brings order to chaos by unifying email, chat, and social media into one view. Also it allows integrations with Salesforce, Shopify, Slack, Jira among others. - Operations Manager<50M USDMediaReview Source
