What Our Customers Say

Don't just take our word for it—hear from former Zendesk users who moved to a better solution.

I have been a long-time user of Zendesk (6+ years) and after their prices kept going up with any additional features or non-AI crap, it was time to look elsewhere. I looked at a few, but eventually landed on BoldDesk. Their migration team was excellent and helped us migrate our meager 15k tickets over seamlessly.

BoldDesk is incredibly easy to use and manage. Training our agents was smooth, and migrating from Zendesk was effortless. Their migration team was excellent—they handled the entire transition and ensured everything aligned with our regulatory requirements.

User from Hospital & Health Care G2

BoldDesk is definitely an interesting option, especially if you're looking for a budget-friendly service desk solution. Its pricing model and feature set make it appealing for smaller teams or those trying to maximize value for cost.

I'm a small team... I was told that since we were so small (meaning: not enough $$$ involved), they weren't going to offer any technical assistance...

Size doesn't matter here.

We offer free expert migration and tech support to everyone, even small teams on a trial

Among all the platforms, I feel Zendesk is most difficult one to use. Anyone feel Zendesk is outdated?

Support shouldn't look like 2010.
