What differentiates Zoho Desk from other similar products?

Zoho desk has Zia chatbot powered by AI which makes it easy to responds to customers questions even when the agents are offline. This is so unique because the chatbot can even use external resources to resolve customer's questions.

I like the domain mapping where it is helping us to offer custom support knowledgebase on our custom URL. Also I like the instant provision of SSL certificate which does not come at an extra cost and yet it takes longer to expire.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The sandbox environment for this tool is still in Beta as it does not work as expected and also setting up the testing environment is time consuming

Yes, I would recommend this tool because it is affordable and easy to understand

What differentiates Zoho Desk from other similar products?

It has Google business integrations where you can easily respond to client's questions even when they contact you through Google business profiles and also the tool has the AI enabled for easier creation of resolutions

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like the easy ways of integrating the tool with custom URL and business emails which does only require verifying the records and adding few SMTP integrations. Also the pricing of the tool is cheap and reliable one hence does not cost the ROI of the business. User interface is easy and user friendly

What do you dislike most about this product?

Integrating the tool without WhatSapp is charged independently hence making the tool more expensive for smaller businesses if you need to use all the modules of the software.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Yes, I would recommend the tool because it is easy and secure to manage omnichannel business support
