Nucleus Research published a report assessing Zendesk user’s experience with the CRM platform to determine the incremental value of transitioning to Zendesk from Salesforce Service Cloud. Zendesk users reported the platform’s ease of use, platform adaptability and agility, and value delivered relative to cost were the primary components driving their selection. Nucleus found these attributes translated to faster time to value, a 43 percent reduction in TCO, and elevated customer experience management.

“Zendesk is a solution that is well-equipped to help organizations navigate the growing complexities of providing elevated customer experiences. As business demands evolve, Zendesk’s solutions can adapt swiftly and effectively,” said Senior Analyst Cameron Marsh. “The CRM platform is a value-driven option for organizations aiming to balance financial sustainability with best-of-breed customer service functionalities.
