This is being used to make it easier for our sales staff to add leads and follow up with them. Our sales team has found it considerably easier to maintain track of leads generated by this service because of the connectivity with CRM. We wanted to learn more about our customers' habits. This work is made incredibly simple and straightforward to accomplish with SalesIQ. It makes a big difference to chat with and engage with customers at the correct time without being aggressive.

Cons
  • When utilizing as a ticketing system, it would be nice to have a better way to monitor when something is due. It's just a little cumbersome.
  • Search Functionality - The search functionality could use a tweak or two. Too many times I am unable to find tickets. This would also be very helpful for the "Recycle Bin" when you just need to find that ticket you accidentally deleted (we are all human!). :)

  • Overall it's a very simple tool that doesn't offer a lot of complexity or expanded tools
  • Even though it's all in the Zoho family, it doesn't work seemlessly with CRM or other Zoho products
  • Not always the best at identifying similar users across different browsers, devices, etc

Zoho Desk on operational capacity is the most effective help desk we have come across, as it is suitable for businesses of all forms and shapes, from large to small. Again, Zoho Desk captures the attention of all clients, and on time, offers solutions to their demands without failing. Lastly, Zoho Desk requires no extra skill to execute the program.

Alternatives Considered
Zoho Desk is easily a winner for trouble ticket handling as Bitrix24 was not offering any dedicated trouble ticketing tool and we had no option but to use the Tasks section of Bitrix24 to handle our existing customers. Also Bitrix24 neither did have any dedicated mobile application for on the go usage which Zoho Desk has easily handled with applications for both Android and IOS devices.

The option of the desktop application was a missing feature on both of the previously used tools, including having applications for Windows, Linux, as well as MACOS. Having a separate application for the chat agents from the main CRM application was a key missing feature as it was combined with the complete CRMs tools being used earlier. Website visitors' live and history activity on our website was missing on the tools being used earlier by our Customer Success teams.

Return on Investment
  • By running reports based on ticket, we can see how much time is spent on each customer and can manage these customers better based on what we see are there issues
  • We can also run reports based on the types of queries customers are coming in with which allows us to develop our product based on actual customers needs as a whole.
  • Automatic reporting once set up saves many man hours as new customers can be added automatically if required, and it saves having to build these reports monthly or possibly weekly

  • It has significantly reduced the number of phone calls and emails we used to get. Chat is more convenient for our users. It also means we can provide support with fewer agents as a single agent can work on multiple chats (unlike phone support).
  • Ability to catch and engage with new users that are potential leads has also improved our overall sales program.
  • Letting admin take over chat seamlessly without a transfer lets us provide a better quality support experience to our more important users.
