The ticketing system is an amazing bonus. > > **Cons**: It's not the easiest platform to navigate for someone who has no technical knowledge. > > It was good and did as promised, it made life easier as at that time I was dealing with a lot of queries from different time zones. ----- ### "Underwhelming experience" — 3.0/5 > **Niall** | *20 September 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of set up was good. Customer support is good. > > **Cons**: I thought the user interface was rather confusing, and the lack of multiple templates on the cheapest tier wasn't great. The default template was ugly. ----- ### "Zendesk Suite with Strong Automation and Powerful Scalability" — 5.0/5 > **Ifra** | *17 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Don’t ever take it away from me\!" — 5.0/5 > **Cynthia** | *13 July 2025* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Leaders in CX? I beg to differ" — 1.0/5 > **Katie** | *07 March 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **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) > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 164\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/164283/zendesk?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/164283/zendesk) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | da | | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
