Zoho Desk

Pros

The system's user interface makes it simple to understand. We will be able to significantly mature our customer service operations and scale with our expansion over time because to the configuration choices, which seem to be limitless. For our 18 retail locations, we intend to use the system to handle all client inquiries.

Cons

Although the pricing is a little unclear, altogether the cost is fairly affordable. Our experience has been incredibly gratifying other from that.

Complexity: While setting up automation rules and configuring the platform, some users may find the software to be a little challenging. Small organisations or teams with little technical experience may find it difficult to start because of this.Restricted integrations: For companies that depend on particular third-party technologies, Zoho Desk's lack of connectors with other help desk solutions can be a drawback.Restricted mobile app features: In comparison to the desktop version, the Zoho Desk mobile app includes less features. This can make it difficult for support personnel that must function while moving about.Despite Zoho Desk's ability to customise fields and tags, there are few options available for customising the platform's overall appearance.

Pros

It was pretty easy to setup, they did have issues on their end with the custom domain pointing, but were willing to help out.

HTTPS had to be requested and is not a part of the package unless you call up and request it.

Cons

I purchased a package from Zoho – Desk and Invoicing – so I can bill clients for time spent on a service call. Calls can be a remote support session or onsite.

After trying out their product and setting everything up with just Desk, their sales pitch led me to believe that their Invoicing product would be needed to integrate with Desk in order to bill clients directly.

The company then sent me an invoice to pay for an annual subscription for Desk and Invoice. I was told multiple times that I could use it on my phone and on the web. It would led me open a timesheet and connect it to the Desk ticket. Nope. Not on the phone though I was told otherwise.

So far, everything does not work as advertised.

The support reps keep telling me that their integrations are in BETA.

BETA was never mentioned during any of the calls or email until it did NOT work as advertised. I even have screen shots of the word BETA on the screens.

I would not recommend this product and would put up an advisory on your website indicating that most of their “integrations” are in BETA.

I am further contacting my bank and the Attorney General for California.

I don’t pay for BETA software.

Is there another company that actually fulfills their sales pitches?

Pros

There is no Work area application for Zoho Work area, a vital missing element. The alternate route symbol for Late things might have been set better, perhaps in the top header menu rather than in the footer. The footer menu should be more noticeable, as it is unrecognizable on more modest size screens.

Cons

The easy to use android and IOS applications are one of the most outstanding elements of Zoho Work area, which I like the most. Different highlights which I likewise respect are-It furnishes a basic gadget code with a couple of snaps once you choose to coordinate it with your site or application; you can undoubtedly follow your tickets in general and specialists from the dashboard interface; you can embed labels with each pass to bunch them into explicit classifications for examination and investigating.

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Desk

Pros

Customer satisfaction is at the top of my priority list as a small business owner. My team and I were trying to successfully handle customer queries, requests, and comments using spreadsheets and emails. That's when we came across Zoho Desk. We were able to optimise our customer support operations by utilising its powerful ticketing system, which ensured that each request was monitored and addressed in a timely way. The platform also provided several modification possibilities, allowing to personalise it to specific unique requirements. Another significant advantage is its sophisticated reporting and analytics capability. The platform gives us insights into our customer service performance, allowing us to discover areas for development. You can also measure client satisfaction and make data-driven decisions to improve your customer service practises.

Cons

Additional features such as chatbots and AI-powered support might potentially benefit the platform, improving the customer support experience. Furthermore, the site might improve its mobile experience, as accessing all functions on mobile devices can be tough. Finally, the platform's reporting and analytics features could use some more flexibility. We would like to see more flexibility in producing and editing reports, as well as the possibility to export data in various formats.
