Summary

Zendesk's maturity shows in its reporting, SLA management, and huge marketplace of integrations — it's built to handle high support volume across many channels. That same depth means setup and admin overhead is higher than newer, lighter tools like Help Scout, so smaller teams sometimes find it more than they need.
