One of the best service management solutions

What differentiates Zendesk for Employee Service from other similar products?

Zendesk has become a de facto industry standard and is used by many companies across the world. It has great features for customer support, however it still lacks functionalities to manage an internal (e.g. ITIL based) service desk.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ease of use is one of the best things about this solution, together with the breadth of features.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The solution is quite pricey for internal use if you have a lot of customer service agents as it is priced per technician. The fact that there is no on-prem solution can be an issue with GDPR, as the data is all stored in the cloud.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Run a trial period prior to purchase.

Pros

Enables Productivity
Reliable

Effective Service

Cons
