Vivantio vs. Zoho Desk

I’d recommend Vivantio as an ITSM platform because it combines powerful functionality with ease of use. Its customizable workflows and automation streamline IT service management, saving time and improving efficiency. The platform scales well, making it suitable for businesses of all sizes, and it integrates seamlessly with other tools, ensuring smooth operations. Vivantio also offers excellent reporting capabilities, helping teams track performance and identify areas for improvement. If you’re looking for a reliable, flexible, and user-friendly ITSM solution, Vivantio is a great choice.

Zoho Desk is a great customer service tool. It is very easy to track the ability to receive tickets and send responses in Zoho Desk. There are lots of options for customization. The knowledge base feature is very extensive and powerful. It makes creating internal and external FAQs easy.

• The biggest drawback that I am facing while using the platform is that their ticketing system is not that great [in my opinion]. It does not give us the option to add sales tax and other charges in the invoices which leads to a big problem for us.
• [I feel] its customer support needs improvement.

i find the system easy to navigate and customise

I give [Zoho Desk] [an] overall usability score of 9. This is partly due to the search functionality needs improvement. There are several times where I am left unable to find a ticket and have to generate a new one. I am hoping in the future that they will make some changes!

As Zoho Support is based in a different timezone to ours it can be an issue that we cannot get an immediate response to an issue. But I will say that once their Support is in the office they are fairly good to respond. they have resolved almost all issues I have told them about, but Zoho have also made system changes and not communicated these beforehand which means we are faced with something new and cannot get support on this until their support team is in the office

Vivantio's extensive customization features ensure it always balances in its favor by allowing businesses to tailor workflows, forms, and processes to their unique needs. This flexibility means the platform adapts to your organization, not the other way around, enabling seamless alignment with changing requirements and maximizing efficiency over time.

We selected Zoho Desk as we needed a platform that was going to allow the business to grow through both usage and staffing numbers. We wanted something cost-effective but still offered standard features in an effective cloud-delivered solution but would still allow customization by our internal dev team, to derive better value from the service where it natively didn't do what we needed it to. FreeAgent was okay for a while, but Zoho Desk has allowed a vast improvement in our service offering to end customers.
