The ticketing system is an amazing bonus. > > **Cons**: It's not the easiest platform to navigate for someone who has no technical knowledge. > > It was good and did as promised, it made life easier as at that time I was dealing with a lot of queries from different time zones. ----- ### "Underwhelming experience" — 3.0/5 > **Niall** | *20 September 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of set up was good. Customer support is good. > > **Cons**: I thought the user interface was rather confusing, and the lack of multiple templates on the cheapest tier wasn't great. The default template was ugly. ----- ### "Zendesk Suite with Strong Automation and Powerful Scalability" — 5.0/5 > **Ifra** | *17 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zendesk Suite offers strong value for money considering the wide range of features included - ticketing, automation, analytics, and omnichannel support. The interface is clean and intuitive for agents, making it easy to manage tickets and workflows. Customer Support/Client Support is reliable and professional. Zendesk integrates well with sales workflows, especially when used alongside Zendesk Sell or CRM tools. It helps align sales and support teams by providing context around customer interactions. The platform is generally stable, but sometimes bugs and issues or we can say performance slowdowns occur,after some updates in plateform. Most issues are minor and are resolved quickly through patches or support assistance. > > **Cons**: Advanced configurations will take your time to learn and then impliment. Pricing can be expensive for small startups because some useful and more advance features are locked behind higher plans. > > My overall experience with Zendesk Suite has been very positive. It provides a centralized platform to manage customer interactions across multiple channels, making support operations more organized, efficient, and scalable. It’s especially valuable for growing teams that need automation, analytics, and consistency in customer services. ----- ### "Getting started with Zendesk from scratch" — 4.0/5 > **Leonardo** | *29 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent customer support platform, making it easy to centralize service channels (such as email, WhatsApp, Instagram DM). The integration possibilities also make a difference, making it easy to incorporate other third-party channels. > > **Cons**: Many simple but useful features are left out in order to focus on new products. The community provides constant feedback, but with a focus on AI features, the Zendesk team has not tried to improve the experience of existing products (except for UI improvements). > > As a self-taught Zendesk Admin, having an engaged community that supports one another made it easier for me to understand the Zendesk Suite and provide quick and efficient support to customers. Especially in LATAM, where WhatsApp is widely used, the native integration with Meta makes all the difference. ----- ### "Great at Customer Service Workflow" — 4.0/5 > **Christine** | *13 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s a centralized platform that can manage almost all customer interactions - chat, help desk, email and order management. > > **Cons**: Major issues with spam and junk email not being filtered out, while real customer emails get lost in the mix. > > Very helpful in simplifying customer service workflow. If they could solve the filtering issues, I’d give them another star. ----- Page: 1 / 164\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/164283/zendesk?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/164283/zendesk) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | da | | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
