Competition is miles ahead of Zendesk…
Competition is miles ahead of Zendesk of many parameters. Such as the Help Center tool: It is ultimately bare-bones. To do the slightest thing, I have to actually find CSS and HTML code that does what I want to do. Basic stuff, such as a two-column view (one side for step-by-step text, the other for images), accordions, and even to get responsive video embeds, I need to code it myself — when would I ever not want videos to scale to the device? These are absolute standard, basic offerings and, frankly, should require no extra work on my part, but instead be integrated parts of the ZD solution. Instead of making these things available to the end user as per default, Zendesk has a gargantuan community with power users essentially supporting other users with figuring out solutions. And the employees are on the sidelines, offering no help whatsoever: "Best advice, will he win the community award for best answer for the third straight year in a row?".
