Desku.io is an amazing helpdesk solution

PROS

The live chat and ticketing functionality is the main reason I started using DeskU. I have some other helpdesk/live chat solutions and DeskU is really starting to outgrow them in features/functionality. I also love the integrations - Woocommerce is a big part of my businesses so them offering an integration with Woo is huge for me. Looking forward to using the social integrations and really hoping for an EDD (Easy Digital Downloads) integration in the future!

CONS

Like any new platform, there will be growing pains. DeskU has been buggy from time to time but generally seems to be sorted out quickly.

Reason for choosing Desku

Price, features

Reasons for switching to Desku

The Ultimate Customer Support Platform

Excellent overall. The support and continues development of the tool keep me hopeful and excited. This is a fantastic alternative to Zendesk, Live chat and Freshdesk.

PROS

The ease of use and clear onboarding instructions. The features and price are extremely affordable considering the features and roadmap they are actively developing.

CONS

Rome wasn't built in one day and Desku won't be either. There are missing integrations and the UI could be improved. But overall the site is beautifully designed and everything works as advertised. It's hard to argue against the overall value proposition. This is where you can maximize your return on this investment.

Reason for choosing Desku

I believe when compared side by side. Desku.io adds the same functions and capabilities at an affordable price. I truly believe once you make the switch you'll be happy you did. Your customer will be happy for it, and you'll cut operating expenses without losing an excellent customer experience.

Reasons for switching to Desku

The cost and value were of the roof with Desku.io vs Zendesk. A Desku.io is quickly catching up and developing new features and capabilities on a weekly basis.

Replaced Freshdesk with Desku

Overall, I have great experience with Desku and keep using it for my helpdesk. A lot of new features and UX improvements are coming so it will only get better.

PROS

Easy to navigate, UI and UX is pretty good, very generous limit for multiple workspaces / brands, great features including chatbot, live chat, knowledge base, shared inbox, social inbox. Compared to other newcomers in the Helpdesk software space like LabiDesk and Thrivedesk, Desku is clearly the winner by miles.

CONS

Ticketing UI is a bit messy. You can’t minimize or hide your ticket list (the left sidebar) and it takes a lot of screen area. You have widgets in the right sidebar and the text editor is left with small screen area which is quite annoying.

Reason for choosing Desku

Desku is the most usable platform and has the most complete features compared to LabiDesk and Thrivedesk which in my opinion are not ready for live production environment. Desku is also more affordable than zohodesk

Reasons for switching to Desku

Freshdesk paid plan is too expensive for us and Desku provide better limits and similar features with more affordable pricing.

Pretty well developed new player

Have enjoyed using it. It's a lot cheaper than some of the more established help desk solutions. We are price sensitive so it works for us. And even though it's newer and less expensive, it does some things better than the tool we were using before. Also, I had a couple small issues and got an immediate reply back from the founder.

PROS

I really like the FAQ portal. It looks stunning and is light years beyond the tools we had used before. I also like that it is easy to have multiple agents working together on a ticket. The knowledge management feature (which populates the portal) is also well done. The mobile app is also pretty good.

CONS

Marking a ticket as spam doesn't delete it or block or delete the sender. This is mildly annoying. Also, as an admin, if I want to view things as another agent, I have to log out and log back in as that agent. There is no easy way to update my admin view as a user.

Reasons for switching to Desku

Helpscout failed to continue to innovate, costs were going up, they started to charge for views or something strange so we said, enough. We found a very good deal and are happy we moved.
