Both platforms provide everything you need to ensure a high-quality customer experience, but don&#8217;t forget that our initial goal is not only to entice customers, but also to retain them for future deals. That&#8217;s why we decided to find out which <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">service cloud<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> data is better and which one is right for your growing business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zendesk is driven by simplicity, ease of use, and customer focus. Salesforce envisions a comprehensive customer ecosystem. Understanding their core ethos provides key insights for selecting your ideal platform. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Answering the question of who is better is not easy. It&#8217;s not like answering the question of what is better, Fanta or Coca-Cola. It&#8217;s a matter of taste, but in our discussion, we need to consider several factors at once.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So before writing this material, we studied various reputable sources, interviewed those who themselves have used both platforms and came to our own conclusion. Now, let&#8217;s figure out which of the tools is more suitable for high-quality work with clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Zendesk Philosophy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zendesk believes customer service software should eliminate friction. Its design principles center on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Simplicity<\/strong> &#8211; The interface and workflows aim to be intuitive, with minimal learning needed. Agents can quickly locate tools.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>User-friendliness<\/strong> &#8211; The platform is purpose-built to make agents&#8217; jobs easier, not impose new hurdles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Customer-centricity<\/strong> &#8211; Customer needs and convenience remain front and center in all aspects of the product.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These philosophies manifest through capabilities like simplified ticket management, automation to reduce repetitive tasks and omnichannel support. Zendesk strives to let service teams provide magical experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Salesforce&#8217;s Vision<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Zendesk focuses solely on customer service, Salesforce aims to support the entire customer lifecycle. Salesforce aspires to be an:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Integrated Ecosystem<\/strong> &#8211; Unlike point solutions, Salesforce combines sales, service, marketing, commerce and more on one platform.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Intelligence Engine<\/strong> &#8211; With artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, Salesforce derives insights across customer interactions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Innovation Driver<\/strong> &#8211; Regular major releases rapidly expand platform capabilities to new areas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Partner Marketplace<\/strong> &#8211; Third-party apps and integrated technologies augment Salesforce&#8217;s expanding features.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ambitious vision seeks to make Salesforce essential for managing ongoing customer relationships and business growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The User Experience<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ease of use is where the two philosophies diverge. Zendesk prioritizes agent productivity and simplicity:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean, intuitive interface allowing agents to quickly find what they need<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Support channels like email, chat, and self-service are organized conveniently<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low learning curve gets new agents productive faster<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salesforce enables vast customization and cross-team processes &#8211; but increased complexity can impact user-friendliness:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highly customizable but layered menus and many configuration options<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steeper learning curve, especially for non-technical users<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Significant ramp-up time needed to unlock full capabilities<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For quick agent onboarding and platform adoption, Zendesk&#8217;s simplicity shines. Salesforce offers greater tailoring potential once mastered.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Key Zendesk and Salesforce features<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to rationally analyze which program is more suitable for you, we need to start with what the two tools are and how they differ.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cloudfresh.com\/gc\/zendesk-products\/\">Zendesk<\/a> is a CRM system, which provides sales agents with a complete overview of the work with the client. The program can store all the information about your customer contact interactions, providing a complete picture of the interaction with the client. It&#8217;s convenient flexible, and the platform can be easily integrated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Salesforce ticketing system is a tool that also provides a complete overview of customer service. The system can also be easily configured and integrated into other platforms, such as Zendesk. If you use the Salesforce service cloud, then you can manage not only sales issues but also marketing matters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you may have already noticed, both systems are very similar to each other and yet have some differences. To better understand how the two systems differ, you need to move to the technical level and look at the two platforms in terms of functionality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Salesforce vs Zendesk: Feature Face-Off<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zendesk and Salesforce provide extensive features with differing areas of focus:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Customer Support<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zendesk<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Omnichannel &#8211; Email, live chat, talk, social, self-service<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advanced ticketing &#8211; Automation, SLAs, macros, views<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Salesforce<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cases for support tickets<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowledge base for self-service<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LiveAgent for real-time chat<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verdict: Zendesk specialized features are more robust for dedicated customer support teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sales Automation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Salesforce<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leads, opportunities, and pipeline management<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Account history and contact management<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forecasting, productivity tools<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Zendesk<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light lead capture and sales tools<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CRM integration to bring data into Zendesk<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verdict: Salesforce dominates here with its full-featured CRM capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Analytics and Reporting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zendesk<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">200+ out-of-the-box reports<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customizable dashboards<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explore data tool<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Salesforce<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Custom reports designer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Einstein analytics and AI<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Embedded dashboard designer<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verdict: Salesforce&#8217;s smart analytics have the edge but Zendesk still provides extensive reporting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Zendesk pricing and functionality<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zendesk provides four main types of multiple products &#8211; Zendesk for service, Zendesk for sales, Sunshine platform and marketplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Zendesk Support<\/strong> &#8211; Omnichannel customer service platform with email, chat, talk, and self-service capabilities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zendesk Guide<\/strong> &#8211; Knowledge base and help center software for documentation, self-service, and community forums.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zendesk Explore<\/strong> &#8211; Analytics tool to report on support metrics and customer data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zendesk Sell<\/strong> &#8211; Sales force automation and CRM including lead and deal tracking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the main advantages of Zendesk is that agents can transparently see the entire history of customer interaction. There are unique tabs for each tool, making it easier for the agent to get used to the functionality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:116\">Zendesk&#8217;s pricing is based on the number of users and your needed features. Zendesk offers four pricing plans:<\/p>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"13:1-17:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:111\"><strong>Suite Team:<\/strong> This plan is designed for small businesses with up to 5 users.

It starts at $115 per user per month.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"16:1-17:0\"><strong>Suite Enterprise:<\/strong>\u00a0This plan is designed for very large businesses with custom needs. It requires a custom quote.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"18:1-18:114\">Zendesk also offers a free trial of all its products, so you can try them out before committing to a paid plan. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/cloudfresh.com\/en\/news\/introducing-the-zendesk-2023-pricing-update-what-is-changing\/\">Zendesk pricing<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"18:1-18:114\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s worth saying that it won&#8217;t be easy to choose a pricing plan for your business on your own, as each one is significantly different. That is why we advise you to seek help of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cloudfresh.com\/gc\/services\/zendesk\/\"><span class=\"css-a5m6co-text css-p8ym46-fontFamily css-11397xj-fontSize css-18j1nfb-display\">Zendesk consultants <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from the Cloudfresh team, so that our experts can introduce you in detail and familiarize you with all the functionality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Salesforce pricing<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At first glance, Salesforce pricing plans may seem a bit simpler than Zendesk&#8217;s. Salesforce&#8217;s products have four basic plans: Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, and Unlimited. As with Zendesk, you need to pay once a month but sign up for services a year in advance. Also, the Essentials plan already offers all the basic functionality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"17:1-17:139\">Salesforce&#8217;s pricing is based on the number of users and your needed features. Salesforce offers four pricing plans for each product:<\/p>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"19:1-23:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"19:1-19:118\"><strong>Essentials:<\/strong>\u00a0This plan is designed for small businesses with up to 10 users. It starts at $25 per user per month.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"20:1-20:123\"><strong>Professional:<\/strong> This plan is designed for growing businesses with up to 100 users. It starts at $105 per user per month.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"21:1-21:119\"><strong>Enterprise:<\/strong> This plan is designed for large businesses with over 100 users. It starts at $190 per user per month.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"22:1-23:0\"><strong>Unlimited:<\/strong>\u00a0This plan is designed for very large businesses with custom needs. It requires a custom quote.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"24:1-24:117\">Salesforce also offers a free trial of all of its products, so you can try them out before you commit to a paid plan.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But a simple plan is not enough if you need to assign roles to your agents and fully manage the software solutions. In general, the pricing policy is slightly different from that of Zendesk. But to choose which plan is right for your business, again, it is better to consult with experts first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Overall look and user-friendliness Zendesk vs Salesforce<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After we&#8217;ve discussed the technical specifications, let&#8217;s move on to the design of the platforms. Now, we will consider both platforms more from a usability point of view, because when a new employee comes to work at your company, you would definitely not want to spend weeks training him. The interface should be simple and intuitive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This section of the article will not have a purely objective opinion, because &#8220;convenience&#8221; is subjective for most people. So in order for you to understand which tool <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zendesk vs Salesforce, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">suits you better, we advise you to try both of them. Especially if you have the opportunity to try both of them for free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4215\" src=\"https:\/\/cloudfresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Snymok-ekrana-2021-12-16-v-17.03.28.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1496\" height=\"776\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Zendesk<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zendesk is actually easy to use and implement. As mentioned earlier, there are separate sections for each tool on the site, which makes it much easier to find them. Another consideration when starting to work with Zendesk is that you don&#8217;t feel lost. Right away, when you first use the platform, you will probably know what to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest and most convenient panel is the ticketing section. Since your agents will be working in this area, it looks as simple and uncluttered as possible. Also, to make it easier to start using Zendesk, the platform offers certain instructions that will get a novice user up to speed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Salesforce<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first impression of using Salesforce service cloud features was not as pleasant as using Zendesk. When I first started using the platform, my eyes were scattered with so many buttons and tabs. Hence, the conclusion is that the program is a bit outdated in its design. It would have been much easier if there was a &#8220;Start&#8221; button right on the main screen when you begin. But, unfortunately, there was no such button.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, you can spend some time trying to understand the functionality, but are you ready to spend so much time for each new employee that comes to your company? For a visual demonstration of the interface, we attached a screenshot below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps for many people, this functionality will seem convenient. But our first impression when using Salesforce was precisely that looseness. So if you do decide to use this platform, you will definitely need the help of a developer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Zendesk and Salesforce Support<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we have evaluated the visual, technical, and price components of the two products, it remains to evaluate the platforms in terms of support team quality. Here, we must admit that both products can provide the best support and provide clients with a first-class productive customer communication experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only nuance that shows Salesforce integration is not in the best light is the two-day response process, which can lead to significant inconvenience when working with the platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zendesk Support and Community<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Robust knowledge base with setup guides, tips, and troubleshooting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Active community forums to connect with other users<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online and phone support with experienced customer service experts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proactive monitoring to identify issues before customers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers praise Zendesk support for being highly responsive.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Salesforce Support and Community<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trailhead online learning platform with extensive training resources<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vibrant Success Community forums with peer sharing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple support tiers &#8211; web, chat, phone, premier for enterprises<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advisory services for complex deployments and growth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers highlight Salesforce&#8217;s active community and breadth of self-service content.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both providers offer sufficient training materials and responsive expert assistance.
