    I honestly prefer Zendesk to Salesforce Service Cloud. I find that Zendesk is easier to manage both on the support ticket side, as well as the knowledge center side. It looks and feels easier to use than Salesforce Service Cloud. Salesforce Service Cloud is fine, but it is …

    Zoho is not very real-time, it has limited integration capabilities, and the UI is not very satisfactory for any incoming customer. The performance is slow and impacts the overall customer journey. The data stored in the backend is slightly scattered and needs to be cleaned …

    Salesforce is a really great case management tool. Made things a lot easier for our team. Wanted something fairly simple that had a variety of capabilities we could customize.

    We used Salesforce for years, Left for Hubspot, and then came back to Salesforce (SF). As they say, don't fix it if it's not broken. Salesforce and customizing were better for us.

    Salesforce Service Cloud offers deep integration with our current and expanding CRM data, along with numerous pre-built features that didn't exist in Kayako when we used it. (We used to use an instance Kayako installed in a private cloud environment.) Salesforce Service Cloud …

    Zendesk has it's own challenges in terms of Administrator difficulties and a completely different back-end than Salesforce Service Cloud. I would recommend Salesforce Service Cloud if you need a clean database of Companies and Contacts. Zendesk does not excel in overall CRM …

    Chose Salesforce Service Cloud
    I'm not at the level where I would be part of the decision making process for choosing a vendor or product for the organization. Every position I've held, I've come into a company that has already implemented or is in the process of implementing Salesforce. Honestly I would not …

    All of the software's are well established and good, but what gave the edge to us its easy integration capability with other systems, experience cloud integration and Einstein analytics which made us move forward Salesforce. Salesforce also have better service and industry …

    Chose Salesforce Service Cloud
    The major value proposition is that service cloud offers integrated services. That covers a multitude of lacking features. All of our agents preferred Freshdesk. Salesforce service cloud was lacking so many basic features compared to it that it was frustrating to switch. Simple …

    Chose Salesforce Service Cloud
    Salesforce service cloud is more configurable than Zendesk and Freshdesk. It has its own inbuilt AI chatbot also which further improves service agent efficiency. Salesforce is more integration agnostic and has pre-built connectors with multiple 3rd party systems. However, in …

    Chose Salesforce Service Cloud
    We were after a robust and very scalable solution, which could be rapidly implemented. Salesforce Service Cloud not only fitted the bill, but it was much easier to source skills and find on-line learning to help achieve our goals. Although the other technologies could have …

    Salesforce allows a lot more visibility and allows us to build better reporting. It is initially trickier to set up and learn, however, comprehensive training and processes have lead to increased customer satisfaction and retention.

    Salesforce is lightyears behind Zendesk. You have to be trained as a Salesforce admin to do anything, while Zendesk takes minutes to set up and is actually customer friendly. There are not native telephony options within Salesforce and the tools you use to integrate are …

    Chose Salesforce Service Cloud
    We previously used a home grown, proprietary system for our needs. This started to get costly and clunky as our database grew. We ended up going with Salesforce because they are purely cloud based. They also have a large footprint and very robust solution so they help us …

    Well, I worked with SAP in the past when I was in other companies. It was way more complex and not user-friendly. You had to take a lot of steps in order to accomplish simple tasks and not everyone could work at the same time in the same program. I would 100% recommend …
