Review Zendesk?
Reviewers see Zendesk as a dependable, widely used support tool that is easy to set up, works well for ticketing, knowledge bases, and cross-team workflows, and can deliver useful reporting. But the stronger theme is frustration with an aging, slow-moving product: users call out clunky UX, weak search, awkward macro management, siloed systems, limited integrations, and support that can be slow to respond. A few founders note that makers of TipTap and Zendesk Signals by Usercall found its integrations and API workable, but that does not erase broader usability complaints.

Used at several companies. It is a default for customer support software when you start looking into what service you will use. Very easy to set up and use for even the smallest teams
I spend some time playing around with it. Had it all set up but then decided to go with a far more basic tool. It's too complex for a startup. Sometimes simpler is better.
Zendesk can be challenging for some users due to its customer service responsiveness, with reports of days-long waits for support replies. The platform has faced criticism for its siloed systems, which can complicate the user experience for those needing a unified customer service solution. Moreover, the lack of native integration with popular CRM software like HubSpot can be a significant drawback for businesses seeking a cohesive customer relationship and support management system. Overall, just don't do it.
