"Outstanding Solution"

What do you like best?

I have been using Zendesk at my company and at some of our clients for us. It is easily the best solution out there and I have seen quite a lot. The best feature for me is the ease to set it up and use it. I mean you can literally be up and running with a support solution that beats most other offering within just a few hours. It also scales and adjusts really well. I mean we are using just a few features for customer facing support in my company, but I have used it in large scale operations that have been using all the bells and whistles. Out of the box, it can handle anything from support tickets to knowledge base and support forums. Last, but not least, it integrates well with other solutions. For example, we are using Jira to track our development work and we got it working within minutes.

What do you dislike?

Honestly, I can't think of anything I don't like about the software!

Recommendations to others considering the product

I think it can handle different industries very well and, most importantly, it is easy to use for customers. My recommendation is to start with your most important features and then add additional features over time.

What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

For us, it is handling customer tickets and we also have been able to feed these support tickets to our developers without having to have the customer communicate with the developer directly. With a little bit of extra effort, it also helps us to avoid duplicate tickets.
