Zendesk Employee Service review

Zendesk sells a separate Employee Service suite with its own pricing page, and AI is built into the entry tier. Suite Team at $29 per agent per month paid yearly lists AI agents, an AI Knowledge Base and the AI Action Builder, which is how an agent moves from answering a question to taking an action. Each plan includes automated resolutions: 5 per agent a month on Suite Team and 10 on the higher tiers, then $1.50 each committed or $2.00 pay as you go. The page lists Slack and Microsoft Teams as business messaging channels, and Zendesk's ITSM page says it meets employees in email, Slack and Teams. The gaps for an IT desk show up in tier placement: the employee portal, approvals and SLAs start on Suite Growth at $59, and asset management needs Growth too. Teams already on Zendesk for customers will find it the easiest to add.

Who it is for
