With Zohodesk businesses can focus on the part that really matters, that is monitoring and enhancing customer satisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Desk?

Does not support multiple ticket types w/different fields..., not something critical, but makes maintenance of different departments requirements complex. It'd be perfect if we could use Persian language and calendar in the Admin and Help center. CRM and help desk integration could've been deeper and flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zoho Desk:

If your requirements end with Helpdesk and customer support then there are other contenders in the market, however if you'll need to involve sales, marketing, and finance into the customer relationship management scenarios, Zoho is the only product out there that offers these features out of the box and without heavy technical effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Integrating all customer requests from different products into a single central operation center. Afterwards, we'll move towards a single/integrated back office solution that covers sales, supply, and financial activities. Zoho CRM and Zoho books look promising in this regard.

What do you like best about Zoho Desk?

Zoho Desk offers a high degree of flexibility that suits our support workflows well. We especially appreciate the ability to customize at the contact level, which helps tailor interactions and improve customer experience. The integration with VoIP systems is seamless, and the help site is comprehensive. Macros and templates are well-structured and easy to deploy, and the overall usability is smooth with intuitive views and navigation. We also value their responsive support team and the decent level of workflow automation available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Desk?

While the workflow automation is helpful, we do see room for improvement—particularly around triggering workflows based on custom contact fields, which is currently missing. This limits some of our more advanced segmentation needs. Additionally, some workflow conditions could be more flexible to allow for deeper customization. Still, these are relatively minor in the context of an otherwise strong platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're currently testing Zoho Desk to centralize and streamline our customer support operations. Our goal is to improve team efficiency by consolidating communication channels, leveraging automation for repetitive tasks, and using detailed views to manage ticket flow. If the full implementation meets expectations, it should help us scale support without adding unnecessary complexity, and improve the consistency and quality of service we deliver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theo Zoho Desk of Zoho Desk

Hello Gina,

Thanks for sharing your feedback. The workflow will allow us to use the custom fields in all the modules. Could you please elaborate on the specific case where you couldn't use the contact module custom fields by sending email to support@zohodesk.com with customization you'd like to get in the Zoho Desk workflow?

What do you like best about Zoho Desk?

Zoho Desk has been a game-changer for our small team’s customer support workflow. The ticketing system is intuitive, and the automation features (like auto-assigning tickets based on rules) save us hours every week. I especially love the context-aware AI suggestions—it pulls up relevant customer history and suggested replies, which speeds up responses. The multi-channel support (email, social, live chat) is seamless, and the mobile app is surprisingly robust for on-the-go updates. Plus, the integration with other Zoho apps (like CRM) makes it a powerhouse for keeping everything in one ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Desk?

I would be lying nothing i dislike with the Zoho Desk at the moment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Zoho Desk, our support team struggled with disorganized communication—tickets got lost in email threads, responses were delayed, and tracking customer history was a nightmare. Zoho Desk solved this by:

Centralizing all support channels (email, chat, social) into one dashboard, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Automating repetitive tasks (like tagging tickets or sending follow-ups), cutting our response time by nearly 30%.

Providing full customer context with integrated CRM data, so we don’t waste time asking clients to repeat themselves.

The biggest benefit? Faster resolutions and happier customers. We’ve seen a noticeable drop in complaint escalations, and our team spends less time juggling tools. The AI-powered suggestions (like recommended solutions) also help new hires onboard faster. If there’s one thing I’d ask for, it’d be a longer trial to stress-test it during peak seasons—but so far, it’s been a lifesaver for streamlining our support.

What do you like best about Zoho Desk?

We found the automation features, like workflows and SLAs, to be very flexible for routing and managing tickets efficiently. I appreciated the portal customization options, which allowed us to tailor the Help Center to our internal team's needs. Zoho Desk’s built-in Business Hours and SLA support are especially helpful for aligning ticket deadlines with our operational schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Desk?

I found that some customization options, such as editing the Help Center homepage, were not as intuitive as I expected. Setting Due Dates based on Business Hours without using SLAs also required extra configuration steps. These areas added a bit of a learning curve, but overall, the platform was manageable once I understood the workflows. The platform's flexibility makes the learning curve worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating more customized ticket forms, SLA, business hours, internal communication regarding tickets, strong functionality around including stakeholders on tickets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theo Zoho Desk of Zoho Desk

Hello Charles,

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Kindly drop an email to support@zohodesk.com with the customization requirement, we'll help you customize the portal accordingly. Also, the SLA is required to map with business hours since the response/resolution due of a ticket needs to be validated through business hours for reporting purpose where multiple brands/support plans will have different timings for business hours or when working based on different regions. Also, our product team is working on a setup wizard which will address the initial learning curve in the future.

What do you like best about Zoho Desk?

Overall, I am impresed with the number of functionalities the enterprise version offers. Its ease of use is also an important aspect. It is a fairly intuitive tool and implementing without prior knowledge is possible. I would recommend however people take advantage of partner use and pre sales team as they are very knowledgeable in the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Desk?

There is nothing i particularly dislike, except maybe that some of the fields that are mandatory cannot be renamed. It would be great of this was a possibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have just launched a B2B solution that requires a lot of interaction with out clients, so the need for a tool like Zoho Deesk that allows them to self serve, offers api for integration via whatapp, and allows us to perform live chats because a game changer for us. We are also using this solution with IT Helpdesk and the fact that we can expand templated for any department makes this solution a winner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hello Rigoberto,

What do you like best about Zoho Desk?

What I like best about Zoho Desk is how effortless it makes managing customer support. The intuitive interface is a dream—I can navigate tickets without feeling overwhelmed, and everything’s right where I need it. The automation features are a total game-changer for me; they handle repetitive tasks like sorting tickets or sending initial replies, freeing me up to focus on actually helping my customers. And the multi-channel support? It’s amazing to have emails, social media, and chats all in one spot—no more jumping between apps. It’s streamlined my workflow in a way I didn’t think was possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Desk?

One thing I’m not completely thrilled about with Zoho Desk is that the initial setup can feel a bit overwhelming, especially if you’re new to helpdesk tools. There are so many features and customization options that it took me a little time to get everything configured just the way I wanted. That said, once I got past that learning curve, it was smooth sailing—and the robust functionality more than made up for it. It’s a small trade-off for how much it’s improved my workflow! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zoho Desk is solving some big headaches for me, like keeping track of customer inquiries across different platforms and cutting down on repetitive busywork. Before, I was drowning in emails and social media messages, trying to juggle everything manually—it was a mess. Now, with Zoho Desk pulling all those channels into one place, I’m not missing a single query, and I can respond faster than ever. The automation tools are a lifesaver too; they handle ticket assignments and basic replies, which saves me hours every week. It’s benefiting me by giving me more time to focus on solving customer problems instead of just organizing them, and my response times have improved so much that my customers are noticeably happier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zoho Desk?

I like Zoho Helpdesk because it has a very clear, easy to read interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Desk?

Many options saying that I have no access due to my current subscription. These options should not appear unless you will upgrade your edition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zoho Desk has helped us centralize and streamline our IT support operations across multiple sites. Previously, we struggled with managing tickets via email and tracking issue resolution timelines, which often led to missed or delayed responses. With Zoho Desk, we now have a structured, transparent ticketing system that ensures accountability, faster resolution times, and better communication with end users. Its automation rules and SLA tracking have significantly improved our response consistency, while the reporting tools provide valuable insights for resource planning and performance monitoring Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zoho Desk?

Like many helpdesk systems brings together a large number of "feeder" inputs (phone calls / website inquiries / emails) bringing them all in together. However unlike many, the system appears intuitive on the whole. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Desk?

One of the downsides is the lack of knowledge of the initial support staff on phone operation and connectivity. It has taken all of the trial period to understand this aspect (and we do have a good understanding of telephony integration). What we found was a lack of documents/help desk articles on this aspect (especially around a straight forward dialer function, which seems to be a business limitation, based on marketing other products to be used). Other documentation on the web on this aspect appears to be out of date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Management of all client input mechanisms and efficient handling of these inquiries/questions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Theo Zoho Desk of Zoho Desk

Hello Maddison,

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We'll forward the concern with our product team to revamp the existing telephony articles with more details and the support for native dialer within Zoho Desk UI. In case you need any further clarifications regarding the telephony, feel free to drop an email to support@zohodesk.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Desk?

While Zoho Desk is a strong platform overall, there are a few areas that could be improved. The UI can feel a bit dated and occasionally clunky, especially when managing multiple tickets at once. Some advanced customization options require a learning curve, and certain integrations (especially with third-party tools) could be more seamless.
