Automated password workflows have cut help desk calls and improve user self-service success
The best features Aisera's AI Copilot offers include automated responses for users and a binary option where expected responses versus anything else can be handled. It has a standard response for anything that is not fitting into the specific question asked by the chatbot. The ability to give standard responses and handle expected versus unexpected answers has helped our team and end users by reducing confusion about what Aisera's AI Copilot can do and cannot do, streamlining the process so people know they can use it for a password reset primarily. Regarding Aisera's AI Copilot's AI capabilities, I think its governance and security are evolving and it is in line with our requirements for ISO 22001. The accuracy and reliability of output from Aisera's AI Copilot is very good. Unfortunately, it is the old adage about garbage in, garbage out. As long as you take your time, work through your workflow to have accurate information and then negate anything that is not an expected response, you will be successful.

Macros and automation have streamlined workflows and reduced manual effort across support teams
The ability to communicate on the Zendesk ticket through the actual user software, so TOPs, would have been helpful. Somehow seeing a user's ticket history within our app would have been beneficial. That is the only thing that I do not think existed at the time that might have been helpful. Some people struggled with Zendesk, but it was always easy enough to show them how to use it and what they were missing. The only times we really had people report concerns about it was when they did not understand that it could do that or how to use it in that way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Since deploying the chatbot, we have seen a 95% reduction in support tickets for anything related to password resets or password changes."
"Aisera's AI Copilot has achieved up to 75% automation of user requests, which is going to reduce our 80% consumer operation costs."
"Overall, Aisera's AI Copilot has become much more than a helpdesk tool for me; it is a central nervous system connecting employees to information and IT support across the entire organization."
"Accuracy-wise, Aisera's AI Copilot is very good."
"Zendesk has had a positive impact on my company by increasing efficiency and also increasing customer satisfaction."
"It's very great for tracking your customer service activities, building reports, and gaining satisfaction from responses."
"Navigation and application is user friendly and can be self-taught from a user perspective."
"In a nutshell, it's a great tool that allows you to manage all your customer service issues in one location."
"We rarely had issues with Zendesk."
"Zendesk might seem a bit pricey at first, but once you get down to what value Zendesk can provide your company - both in terms of saved working hours, happier customers and CX data from multiple channels, it's well worth it!"
"The collaboration between agents is impressive, and I also use Zendesk Workspace, which provides a seamless experience when communicating through chat and email."
"Zendesk has positively impacted my organization primarily through security, as I do not have to worry about data breaches or leaks because all information is handled and processed through Zendesk, ensuring that only people within the organization can access it."
 

Cons

"To improve Aisera's AI Copilot, automating the scripting would be beneficial so that it is a little bit more free-flowing and generic for the workflow because something as simple as a password reset will always have the same features."
"I believe that Aisera's AI Copilot could be improved with a more simplified initial implementation."
"There are several areas for improvement. First, hallucination control: being an LLM-based system, Aisera's AI Copilot occasionally generates confident but incorrect answers."
"We work in print so being able to preview files attached and having larger files (larger than 7MB would be great) would be a welcomed improvement."
"The more customization you do, the slower it will be. Maybe this could be improved."
"Many channel inquiries are not possible to collect into a single interface."
"Report Generator needs to be improved."
"There is always a network issue with Zendesk. But we don’t know whether it is managed. The network issue is that when I call, it does not let us."
"We needed to code stuff on our side due to business specific needs which Zendesk could not account for."
"They need to fix the email thread response problem."
"I would like easy access for the mobile app as it can take quite a while to load the data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There are different plans that are offered. We are using the entry-level plan. The overall price of the solution should be reduced. The price is too high."
"The price is very competitive."
"We pay for the solution on a yearly basis and my understanding is that the cost is about $30,000. That's the cost for 24 to 25 agents."
"From what I hear, Zendesk's pricing is a little expensive."
"You have to pay extra for better support. So it's not only the license that you pay for, but you have to pay extra for the support as well."
"Zendesk's licensing is not cheap. For Enterprise, we are paying $200 per agent. It's a per-month cost, so it's pretty steep. There are some services you need to pay extra for. For example, with Zendesk Guide, we had to buy the most expensive offering in order to get Multibrand and everything. We also had to pay a lot of money for themes."
