Zendesk is a helpdesk that helps you host a knowledgebase and answer support tickets - if that’s all you want to do. But to deliver a great customer experience, you'll probably need something that's a little more Zen, and a little less Desk.
To deliver a great customer experience, you need to think beyond the traditional helpdesk. Your customers don't see themselves as faceless support tickets, so why use software that doesn't let you treat your customers as individuals?
Kayako is different from traditional helpdesks. Kayako is a customer service platform that’s used by over 131,000 support pros who, like you, want to get better at customer service.
Below, you’ll learn the five most important reasons why businesses choose Kayako as an alternative to Zendesk. And if you have questions, we're here to help.
Cheers,
Jamie Co-founder, Kayako
