A fantastic tool for answering customer queries

Questions about orders or invoices, tickets, and customer administration. We were able to streamline our operations with the support of Zoho desk's improved visibility, timeliness, and visibility into the resolution of open questions.

Pros

Managing a staff to answer client questions and navigating the system itself is a joy thanks to the system's simplicity, intuitiveness, and the extensive personalization choices provided by its automation and workflow features.

Cons

Getting help, including clear responses to my inquiries, has proven challenging. In my experience as a ticketing system manager, I have never encountered anything more irritating.

Helpdesk Resolution with Utmost Productivity

In conclusion, the software has really helped us move from a manual approach towards single click ticketing system which has improved our internal processes efficiently with an agile mindset.

Pros

I use Zoho desk for submitting tickets and receiving tickets which has really changed the way my company and myself takes on tickets from our customers. It really gives the customer a hassle-free experience of following up by just providing them complete visibility to their ticket status with real time communication options.

Cons

The only thing I would say to dislike is limited options to notify help desk teams with status on tickets and also not much of customization.

Mediocre Communication Management System

Pros

It has all the basic features that are requested.

Cons

It is not customizable to be used simultaneously in several languages and markets. Especially if one agent covers many markets.

Zoho Desk: Feature-Rich and Affordable, But Can Be Overwhelming

Pros

Powerful help desk software that's affordable and customizable. Feature-rich with excellent automation and a strong focus on value.

Cons

Zoho Desk's interface can feel cluttered. The mobile app has limitations, and the free plan is restrictive. These factors slightly hinder an otherwise strong help desk solution.

A valid platform to group tickets from different sources

My experience with Zoho Desk has shown that it’s a very flexible and reliable platform which can group tickets from different sources into the same place. Like any tool it comes with some room for improvement, especially in the mobile version. Sometimes slowdowns may occur if you have a lot of data in your reports.

Pros

Easy and well-organized user interface, simple navigation. I can group tickets from email, social media and chat into the same platform.

Cons

The mobile app is useful but it's not as good and complete as the desktop version. When handling large data sets in reports, sometimes I noticed some lags.
