eDesk

Utilize for all customer support uses. Saves time and allows for small support team.

As the CEO of a small business, I regretfully have to advise others to steer clear of eDesk based on our experiences.Multiple Plans Added to Cart:The very first problem arose during the checkout process. We had initially placed the Professional plan into our cart but reconsidered and chose the Performance+ plan the following day. However, the checkout process didn't give us a chance to review our cart, and we were unknowingly billed for both plans.Customer Service's Misstep:During the setup, we sought assistance through eDesk’s customer support feature. The customer service representative informed us that we were running two plans simultaneously and offered to remove one. Assuming it was a system glitch possibly related to a trial we used previously, we agreed. To our surprise, they removed the less expensive Performance+ plan that we had intended to use.Misleading Ticket Counts:Adding to the confusion, eDesk claimed that we had 130 support tickets when we actually had no more than 5. They used this claim to justify not allowing us to switch to the more suitable Performance+ plan. After a strenuous review of the Json file ourselves, it became clear that their ticket count included emails processed even before we had an eDesk account.Lack of Accountability:When we confronted eDesk's Customer Success Manager, about these egregious errors, they stated that they had no understanding of how their own billing or ticket system works or ticket system works.

I was a bit disappointed that my latest inquiry about a new feature went unanswered. This lack of response impacted my overall experience with the platform.
