    Kustomer, LLC
    Chose Kustomer
    I think that Kustomer is the most user friendly BUT I think the other platforms are built to do a lot more and can be much more customized

    Chose Kustomer
    I find it baffling how little data can be stored or associated with a customer in many other systems, and how difficult that can be to set up. It is fine if you already have a robust CDP that you can hook up and use to power your CRM, but it is rare that an organization has the …

    It has improved a lot of the training time needed for our new hires to understand the Kustomer interface and how to handle communications fully. The time invested went significantly down, and the learning curve improved a lot as well.

    Chose Kustomer
    Apps like Intercom, Zendesk, and Gorgios all treat customer inquiries as tickets, just tracking that one issue or interaction with a customer. Kustomer treats each customer as an individual, which allows us to provide top-notch customer service. Customers love that we're able …

    Kustomer is more modern and capable of so much more any of my other systems have compared to in technical support customer interfaces.

    Chose Kustomer
    Kustomer is a great fit for our organization because we can cut down on multiple contacts from the same customer and see all their information in one place. It's also infinitely customizable, so if we need changes made we can make them while still using the same platform. This …

    Kustomer is different from Slack since Slack is just for communicating with the whole team while Kustomer is more on communicating with our customers.

    The UI of Kustomer is a lot cooler than what we are using before. There are a lot of features that Kustomer has that make things easier and more convenient than Desk.com.

    I use both in my role with the company. Our social media channels are managed through Khoros, but we use Kustomer to notate and contact customers outside of social media. I'd much rather bring our social media channels into Kustomer, to help with efficiency.

    Kustomer has a great team that is easy to work with. They are always there to support and are pleasant, as well.

    Zendesk: In my opinion, Kustomer is more powerful when used to its full potential due to its workflows/automations.

    Chose Kustomer
    Kustomer is far more intuitive, personal, and holistic than Zendesk. As a company who has a lot of interaction with a single customer, it is such an advantage to take the customer approach rather than a single ticket approach. Zendesk was very limited in a lot of the actions …

    All other systems I have used have been internally-made programs that were a lot more basic order-taking systems, no notes or call functions outside of when order was placed. Doesn't really compare here.

    Chose Kustomer
    Kustomer simply does more than any other platform I've been able to work with. Sure some others will give you a handful of neat tricks built in for managing a channel or two but those rarely offer any external integrative capacity or limit what you can do in connections. …

    I was not personally involved in the decision-making process when selecting a new CRM and ultimately settling on Kustomer. That said, I'm happy with the decision to partner with them. Compared to our previous CRMs, it is much easier to work with everything in one place and we …

    Glovo was using Zendesk before. Kustomer is much more flexible in terms of integration capabilities and customisation.

    Moving from Zendesk to Kustomer was driven by the clarity that the customer timeline brings for advocate engagement alongside the custom workflow abilities.

    Zendesk did not give a big picture of the customer. It was more of a ticketing platform, and only gave statistics of those conversations. We were unable to track customer sentiment, or other attributes of the customer.

    Chose Kustomer
    Kustomer is far more scalable and flexible than Zendesk, and it provides a real omni-channel experience far from the "Zendesk for mails, Zendesk Chat for chats" we were used to. On the automation and customisation features, it gets even clearer how Kustomer can deal with a lot …
