Great product: good collaborative efforts, some room for growth.

I am still learning so there are many buttons I don't know what they do and so many places to find your communications. I get a little confused.

The tagging function between colleagues is very convenient. Overall, the interface is also very pleasant and easy to use.

Very user friendly and so helpful when you are managing a high volume of emails in a day.

On top of that, you would be able to see when a teammate was replying or typing under the email, which was a good way to know who was working on what.

It's very intuitive to talk with the team and get back to customers/prospects with an answer. A win win and great investment for company that works digitally.

I also personally love the ability to automate parts of our workflow using Zapier and the Front API — it's a real game-changer.

The modern UI and feature set are both great and this software is extremely helpful in executing our day to day communications through all of our customer-facing channels.

Shared inbox is  very useful to assign specific conversations or issues to the correct person to action. Templates and tags are also great to save time.

I highly recommend Front for team-based customer service or support teams who can take advantage of shared drafts, comments, assigning threads, tags, and snoozing.

HOWEVER, the use of @ symbol is different than the other communication software we use (Slack). Can be confusing when using the two.

Front allows us to automate a lot of our communication and integrates seamlessly with our workflow systems. It has kept my team organized and efficient.

I use it to reply tickets for customers every day. It's a solid helpdesk and on par with the best helpdesk out there.

In a shared work model, the ability to assign emails to yourself or other members of the team was extremely useful, to ensure we were not doing double-work or responding to emails at the same time.

When you send a message there is a gap of 5 seconds to cancel it but once it has been sent there is no way to recall it.

This has been a terrible onbaording process, terrible. Zero support, everything is by email and comitments made were not follwoed through.

Terribel support and onboarding proces. The handoff from sales to cusotmer supprot has bene horrible.

In addition, it does have trouble loading every once in a while, and requires a hard reset.

Sales Rep was educated, nice, responsive and a pleasure to work with. Then the product was easy to use and solved what we needed.

It has been a game-changer for our teams at work. We all use it as our email client and it helps us communicate more effectively which saves time and ultimately money.

Used this at one of my old jobs and it was so easy to use and amazing for functionality.

I like how easy anyone can be trained to use this, making sure clients are taken care of is a huge priority so this is a wonderful platform for that.

I have been very impressed by the available Knowledge Base and Community for answering my questions about functionality and best practices. Zendesk Support has also been a fantastic resource.

This software is a great way to centralize all customer service experiences. It also has great ability to integrate with other software.

What I like most about Zendesk is the way it can handle and manage customer relationships with ease and simplicity. Very great platform to use for your CRM needs.

Love how easy it is to submit the tickets and how easy the tool is to use. Love that I am able to follow it along.

Good for ticketing systems and really hums when it's automated. Fairly widely used in the industry so there's a lot of good forums and support on it.

It is a fantastic solution that meets all the requirements of our corporation.

I liked the standardization of different support metrics. The CSAT is pretty good and APIs are very useful.

I like the ease of finding past tickets. Not a fan of the chat feature.

If you use all Zendesk Suite, Chat it's a great add-on, and it's cost per agent it is fair enough when compared to all the metrics you can gather.

The transition from ticket to call is lovely if you require that feature and it allows you save your interaction easily.

The customer communication and support have been improved and we are happy about its functions and prices.

ZenDesk is cost effective and easy to implement. The macros features are powerful, and allow for a lot of ease of use in the system.

The interface is so intuitive and powerful. Customer service advisors adapt to it very quickly, and it makes it super easy for them to manage their tickets.

We never had support on issues, lost clients, lost statistics, etc. But when payment is due, then they sent many emails.

Their Email Platform Connect is the worst on the market.

Big array of features which can help companies in different situations. Useful feature of having different languages in the system, which helps a lot with international clients.

Over my experience was nice. Customer service was responsive and the product is well on its way to be the best in the market.

It's a great tool for Customer Care and the conexion with Facebook and Twitter allows for a complete ownership of the customer care attention.

Zendesk has solved so many issues in one program. Pricing is good and a fair price.

Overall my experience was great. It is a nice product that integrates easily with other softwares.

I loved how feature rich this software was, it definitely helped me help my shoppers and website visitors.

Another cons is their technical support is very poor, it’s not that often you’ll need it but when you do, it’s hard to get it.

I love zendesk and find it pretty easy to use. I like how useful it is in everyday business setting.

I had a great experience using zen desk. My team was happy too with how easy it is to use and how quickly they can move from ticket to ticket.

The alert sound is as bad as one could sound and the lack of some useful features proved a NO GO! for me.
