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

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.

Desku is awesome

I am happy with Desku. Their tool is solid, and the dev is also working hard to improve their tool.

PROS

The tool is excellent. I like their knowledge base and ticketing system the most.

CONS

Overall, everything is good. Need to improve the widget design, and add a few more features.

Reason for choosing Desku

They prepared some documentation and expected me to refer to their documentation. As a result, I felt helpless when I need help.

Reasons for switching to Desku

Because BotgateAI is damn slow. They take forever to bring a minor update. Tired of being with them. And I found Desku. Lucky me.

Desku is an excellent platform for managing user support. It is easy to navigate, and the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) are top-notch. The custom domain feature is an absolute game-changer. Furthermore, the organization of tickets and the ability to effortlessly add tags have streamlined our workflow.

The best HelpDesk System we have tried

Desku is an excellent platform for managing all users support needs. It is a very good balanced Customer Support Platform, simple but highly effective, and at a very reasonable cost. We couldn't be happier. We are a small SAAS startup and Desku.io has meant for us to be able to implement our customer support service in a few hours. At the same time, we can integrate it with multiple tools we use.Recently has integrated a fantastic and easy bot builder to create automations to attend fast and effectively our users questions or doubts. FLows are easy and simple to create.Its own support service is fast and solves any problem quickly. It has also a promising roadmap, because of that, new features are often added in response to their users feedback.

PROS

Very easy to use, it provides a cool way to follow your interactions with customers thanks to their main features: the support ticketing system, knowledge base, shared inbox and live chat.

CONS

Desku is a young and developing product, which means that some bugs may occasionally appear, but they are corrected very quickly.

Reason for choosing Desku

Lower price and similar features

5 Stars ⭐ All-in-One Customer Support Platform

PROS

As a early Desku adopter, I have seen new features being added to the platform on a regular basis since the begining. The only thing that would be great to be added to the Desku ecosystem to make it the ultimate Customer Support SaaS offering would be an AI for Deskubot, but I'm pretty sure it is somewhere in their features roadmap.

CONS

Documentation is not always covering all there is to know but the UI is pretty intuitive and getting support is quite fast.

New Contender in the Customer Support Space

Unifying our customer support channels was a priority for us. Previously we were using 3-4 different apps to accomplish what Desku does. Bringing everything together in Desku has really helped our support team streamline their workflows and decrease our response times.

PROS

Although Desku is a relatively new product, the team over there appears to be developing the app very quickly with new feature releases almost weekly. They seem to really understand their niche so the features they are releasing are very useful whereas sometimes other software developers focus on features that aren't very relevant for their users. These guys really get it.

CONS

The app does a lot of things: web chat, knowledge base, ticketing, etc. In the beginning the modules felt a bit disjointed, but over the last few months the UI has been updated several times and it the overall user experience is getting much better.

Thankful To Have Found Desku

I'm thankful to have found Desku when I did. I've been managing my customer support via email and using Trello as a knowledge base. It worked but it's definitely not what I wanted long-term. I transitioned to HelpScout and that was great until my credit card expired while I was in the hospital with covid. I've yet to regain access to all of the data inside of that account so I'm basically starting from what I had in Trello. I love the customization options and although it doesn't natively support it, I'm using it for customer support for my ClickFunnels support. The chat bot works just fine. I can't say that I've encountered any problems that I didn't create and even then the support team were quick to reply to me and solve my problem. It was easy to install, really no heavy lifting and the interface is easy to navigate for me. It pretty much has every feature that I need at the moment in a help desk. I bought a LTD for this on appsumo and I really hope that they come back. I would love the max out on this!

PROS

I love that you have the option to choose what email platform you want to integrate if you don't want to use Desku mail.

CONS

I really wish that they had more native integrations. I also don't like that thy sidebar is compact. I haven't yet memorized the icons so seeing them without a name beside it makes me think a bit more than I would like but that's super small. I did also have a bit of trouble signing up via appsumo but that was my fault. They solved that really fast.

Reasons for switching to Desku

Lost access to all of the data inside of that account and decided to start fresh with Desku. I also caught an LTD on this software so that factored in a lot lol.

Deskubots - great addition to Live Chat

PROS

Integrates neatly with the live chat service provided by Desku. And the interface is slick and clean.

CONS

Little confusing as to the difference between the Deskubot Widget and the Live Chat widget. I assumed if you had Live Chat, that it was all one thing. Building out recipes has a slight learning curve.

I am ready to move from the larger, most established and very expensive Help Desk platforms, are u?

I am surprised, in a good way! To be honest I had not considered a HelpDesk solution for my endeavors, just because how expensive a scaling solutions becomes in time, I have done support for many years and have helped in the implementation of most of the systems I have used and know this first hand. DeskU has allowed me to lay out a plan to offer to our customers, sponsors and brand ambassador with a personalized platform. It has also opened the window to even offer HelpDesk services for a limited number of clients as part of our e-commerce solutions.

PROS

The easy of deployment, integration, scalability and access to [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has me convinced this is a great opportunity! Having used Help Desk platforms for my former corporate world jobs makes me certain!

CONS

While I would not consider it cons, because the platform is in its early stages, they are definitely things to consider before a full switcheroo, not able to introduce approvals or SLA compliance are heavy on the list.
