Overview
What is Zendesk?
Zendesk is an established customer support and helpdesk platform with AI features, used by support teams across small business, mid market, and enterprise to handle tickets, messaging, live chat, voice, and help center across the customer support program, with AI features such as Zendesk AI agents, Copilot, and resolution pricing layered across the established support product line that the team has built around customer support for many years today globally.
Zendesk fits support teams that want a serious helpdesk platform with deep AI features and broad channel coverage, rather than a lightweight email tool with limited automation across the support program at scale today across global support markets. Public reviews note pricing climbs quickly as agents scale and AI add ons compound. Pricing has published per agent paid plans across global customer support markets and customers across many segments today.
