What differentiates Zendesk for Service from other similar products?

Zendesk provides personable and customisable setups, from automations and tagging, right through to assigning.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Without a doubt, chatbot. I think chatbot is an incredible feature which allows for an automated client services setup to filter out the very easy client queries, before using up valuable employee resource, which saves us time and money each day.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The reporting I think leaves a lot to be desired. It's quote clunky and takes a bit of getting used to. I now have the reports and dashboards I need for my monthly reporting, but setting that up was quite arduous.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's one of the best CRMs out there, it's very simple to set up, and easy for new users to acclimatise to it.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Continually Improving Product
Reliable
Performance Enhancing
