    Zendesk
    For growing technology-based companies, Zendesk Sunshine is the best ally to provide email and chat support. It supports various integrations and can provide exceptional service that is fully customizable for both the customer and the agents using Zendesk. It is not appropriate for small companies, and for companies with a very small customer base, it is a considerable expense after a customer base of at least 10,000 customers.

    • There are some glitches when doing upgrades on information or data, sometimes
    • It is difficult to find tickets once they are solved, we could have a tracking of the most recent or solved tickets during the day.
    • The integration or merge with other tickets from the same client is not intuitive at all, there should be an alert that throws a match.

    With VMware cloud, each VMware Cloud customer must have an SDDC account(VMC) as well as a general AWS account. The two accounts must be linked for the service to work which is a tiresome thing to do for some clients but with IBM Cloud Private all these issues are solved.
