Featured Reviews

Anatolii Vovniuk - PeerSpot reviewer
City governments improve service efficiency with automated workflow processes
The customer self-portal is not good. Service Creatio ( /products/service-creatio-reviews ) has a special capability for external customers and users to access the web portal, but we had to use third-party solutions developed by us. The design of the customer self-portal is quite bad, particularly the UI. It is not capable of integrating third-party identification systems like GEO, Per zone, or BankID for authorization of external users. It would be beneficial to have the possibility to easily build communication or interaction between different services with different instances of Service Creatio.
Babatunde-Olugbode - PeerSpot reviewer
End-to-end solution to manage customer support tickets and consolidate all communication channels into one platform
For me, the valuable features are related to customer engagement because I want to ensure I don't miss any customer inquiries, no matter the channel. For example, I haven't seen any other platform that consolidates all channels into one console. That's a valuable feature to me. Then there's the pricing, which is better than Zendesk. Zendesk charges in USD per user, per month, whereas Zoho let us pay in Naira (Nigerian currency). Zoho can also identify user locations, letting you leverage existing reviews. These are valuable features that many organizations have adopted Zoho Desk for. We can download the mobile app to see requests and respond from anywhere. It is one of the most improved applications and widely integrated systems I've worked with. You can virtually integrate it with almost anything, like Microsoft Teams and other data applications. The marketplace lets you find native integrations. For example, we have an organization that uses multiple systems and wants to ensure agents don't log in to multiple platforms to see emails. They have a native integration system that takes care of that and works seamlessly.
