"Zoho Desk"
What do you like best about Zoho Desk?

Zoho Desk seems to be a comprehensive ticketing platform that has a lot of features and can support a wide range of needs. After comparing the platform to others like it (Zendesk & Freshdesk) they seemed to have had a more complete solution (for our needs anyway). Easy to navigate, clean layout, many features, and cost-effective.

What do you dislike about Zoho Desk?

They offer an API with a lot of options, but it's a little buggy and some things that really should be there are not. One example of something that is missing is being able to specify which agent is modifying a ticket or task. This seems pretty trivial and they allow it when this is done in the portal on a browser, but it is not currently supported in the API for some reason. When you modify a ticket or task via API it defaults to the user who created the API Key. I submitted a ticket/feature request and they suggested to just create an API Key for each agent which is tedious and a security risk.

What problems is Zoho Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company provides an online platform for dealers and wholesalers to auction off their wholesale vehicles. Tracking requests, issues, and complaints.

"Going through the trial"
What do you like best about Zoho Desk?

So far I like the extent to which it is configurable. Nice interface. The back-end for the agents is important but the front-end for the users is equally, if not more important. Its nice that I can make it match our brand. This is a huge plus.

What do you dislike about Zoho Desk?

Nothing to dislike yet. Like I said I'm in the trial stage. I do have an open question on minor functionality with respect to accounts and contacts. I have not received a response yet, but I'm hopeful that there will be a resolution.

What problems is Zoho Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Giving my clients a way to communicate issues and get those issues resolved. Happy, productive customers are what I'm after.

"Spread thin"
What do you like best about Zoho Desk?

I appreciate the ambitiousness of the product to meet a large number of customer needs with one product (or product suite), but it's better to do one thing extremely well than several things poorly.

What do you dislike about Zoho Desk?

When we tested Zoho Desk, none of the features we needed seemed to be fully flushed out and ready for prime time. There were limits and restrictions on many of the features we needed to customize. The user interface was poor and not intuitive.

What problems is Zoho Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were comparing Zoho Desk with Freshdesk and Zendesk. Zoho Desk was dropped from our evaluations quickly. And customer service was extremely poor; either they didn't know the product well enough to service it and answer our fairly basic questions, or it took forever for our queries to get to the correct person. This experience did not give us the reassurances we needed that the support would be there when we went live.
