For large enterprise teams who need a highly scaleable help desk. Less user-friendly than the rest.
Think of Zendesk as the "Salesforce" of the help desk world. They "integrate" with almost everything (what that even means is many things... does that mean it'll do what you want it to do? questionable), they have help docs, an included community platform even. But what's it like to actually use? Well, painful.
There's zero joy in using it. It feels like you're using archaic and unintuitive software, I've still yet to meet a customer success rep that has had even one positive thing to say about it, or rather, I've yet to meet someone that hasn't "hated it" to be more specific.
In Zendesk, you are a ticket number, not a person. And yes, customers feel this, it's incredibly apparent and frustrating to experience:
But what about the community component? We want a community!
Well, good luck building one with Zendesk, another area I'm obsessed with, community software (love Discourse + Insided), and I have still yet to see even ONE Zendesk "Community" implementation that isn't just filled with customers complaining about said SaaS that the community was built for, with it all fallen on deaf ears by the company. That's a different story all-together though.
If you're an enterprise team, check out Zendesk, otherwise, stay away, and check out another option like Help Scout.
