Comparing help desks: what to look for
It can be tricky to know exactly what to look for when you’re evaluating helpdesks and customer service software. So many features, price plans, and comparison tables… where do you start?
We’ve talked with thousands of businesses - and no two customer service teams have the same needs. Your team’s needs and priorities are unique, but the helpdesk comparison information you’ll find on other sites remains the same, whether you’re a 500-person organization or a 5-person startup.
We don’t think that’s helpful, so we’re taking a different approach. We’ll tell you why customers chose Kayako’s customer service platform over traditional helpdesks. And we’ll show why Kayako is not just a software product, but a partner you can trust to help you get better at customer service.
But the best way to find out if Kayako is right for you? Take a free trial and talk to our team. We’re here to help.
