Reviews of Zoho Desk
The gold standard in customer service!
Comments: Invaluable progress has been made in facilitating communication. Helping us more effectively assist and guide customers who have questions or concerns about our offerings. Because of the faster resolution of customer issues, we have also seen a rise of at least 10% in the number of new customers requesting our services.
Pros:
Currently, we're using the Zoho Desk application to aid our customers and foster deeper connections between our products and services. And in this way, we can speed up the resolution of any issues or complaints our users may have inside the service.
Cons:
If we were using an issue tracking application, the ability to drag and drop items across categories would be really helpful. To my knowledge, the ability to receive and transmit voice memos has also been introduced. What you propose is novel in the extreme.
Zoho maintains automated tickets that are easy to attend to
Comments: Using Zoho Desk, I can see how quickly each issue is being responded to and make sure that our support staff isn't slacking off. From the perspective of the client, this appears more polished.
Pros:
In order to improve support billing, we need to maintain tabs on tickets, have agents report how much time they spend on tickets, and monitor resource allocation on a per-client basis. We prefer using the social network aggregation tool to create support tickets. With the help of IA, we can now set up specialized divisions and generate tickets automatically.
Cons:
Two more businesses using zoho confirmed that the email system and spf/dkim verification simply do not verify. No one here can confirm these parameters.
Comprehensive Features
Pros:
Zoho Desk offers a wide range of features, including ticket management, multi-channel support, self-service portals, automation, SLA management, and reporting.
Cons:
The free plan of Zoho Desk has certain limitations on customization options and features compared to the paid plans.
Alternatives Considered: Salesforce Sales Cloud and SurveyMonkey

My Zoho Desk Review
Comments: I think about today! that this program does the functions that I need to provide my technical support service and helps me stay organized
Pros:
I think about today! that this program does the functions that I need to provide my technical support service and helps me stay organized
Cons:
I understand that it can be a bit uphill for a small team of 3 technicians and an administrator financially! I would give at least two technicians for free
Zoho Desk: easy to use, customizable, and evolving service desk suite
Comments: We looked at a few others (Salesforce, FreshDesk, and others) and were surprised by many of the features. There were many Zoho branded products and services available that seemed to work well during testing. The interface and mobile apps were fairly intuitive and we were able to get a fully functional demo up and running in a matter of hours without much trouble. We evaluated it with other software at the same time, so let's compare how long it took us to get it up and running and use it functionally with other systems.
Pros:
The initial setup wizard worked smoothly. Navigation through the configuration menus is simple and intuitive. The customer access portal home page is in place and ready for further customization of content. A clean design that displays the functions that are needed at this time.
Cons:
The initial 14-day trial period is fine for "getting started", but trying to juggle a new set of desktop services and day-to-day work seems to work against the clock. A 30 to 45-day trial period would be excellent, as it allows you to become so familiar with the software that you are more willing to use it.
Alternatives Considered: Zendesk Suite
Reasons for Choosing Zoho Desk: We are creating the first in-house service solution for the company. Having a managed solution to handle requests that other team members can monitor and resolve is much better than trying to handle email support requests that sit in an inbox with many other unrelated emails.
Switched From: Freshdesk
Reasons for Switching to Zoho Desk: We are a growing company and we need to track our issues not only by the customer but also by specific serial number. We had a very rudimentary system to do this, but our size is pushing us to modernize to stay on top of everything. This system should help us.
