eDesk レビュー 5

Ich habe eDesk für 50 € abonniert, weil mit umfangreichen KI Features geworben wurde. In der Praxis war davon leider kaum etwas vorhanden. Die Einrichtung war extrem mühsam, unnötig kompliziert und alles andere als intuitiv.
Ich habe das Abo fünf Tage vor Ablauf der nächsten Abrechnungsperiode gekündigt, trotzdem wurden mir erneut 50 € abgebucht. Auf Nachfrage beim Support hieß es dann, man müsse mindestens 14 Tage vorher kündigen, was weder klar kommuniziert noch kundenfreundlich ist.
Auch nach mehrmaliger Anfrage war eine Erstattung von Seiten des Supports nicht möglich und es gab keinerlei Entgegenkommen.
Insgesamt eine sehr enttäuschende Erfahrung. Überzogene Versprechen, komplizierte Nutzung und fragwürdige Abrechnungspraktiken. Ich würde eDesk nicht weiterempfehlen.

Great service from the team, they never let us down

ik ben begonnen met deze online baan, ik heb eerst 270 euro verdiend waarbij ik 90 euro moest elimineren, door zelf dus geld over te zetten. vervolgens werd het bedrag 450 wat ook geëlimineerd moest worden om überhaupt verder te gaan en je geld te kunnen krijgen. dit ging door, ik moest 1200euro en vervolgens 3500euro. kortom je wordt opgelicht. je krijgt je geld nooit terug.

Really useful to us to Manage our Customer Service across multiple stores and marketplaces while keeping costs low. Their support are awesome also. Big shoutout to Yurii and Anna

Our journey with eDesk started several years ago with a promise - a promise of efficiency, innovation and customer-centric service. However, over time, this promise has eroded, replaced by a relentless pursuit of profit at the expense of loyalty. The essence of their offering—consolidating communications from customers — is practical but no longer unique, making their steep pricing even more difficult to justify. A quick online search for ‘ecommerce helpdesk software’ will show you an abundance of competing options at significantly better rates, especially for multi-user accounts.

When we became a customer of eDesk, it started with the promise of unlimited users, which has since capsized into a per-user model, a dramatic shift that came without a reciprocal adjustment in cost. Over three years, we’ve seen a staggering 47% increase in our rate with a 10% increase only 8 months ago. Now we are confronted with a proposition that would skyrocket our payment to 245% of its current amount. In 3 years, this means our price will have risen to 360% of where it started once the new prices are in effect. This is with no material change to our level of use of this software.

eDesk’s justification? "We have to charge the price we believe our product is worth." Such a mindset overlooks longstanding customer relationships and the evolving competitive landscape of help desk software. Initially, we were promised an ‘unlimited user’ model. However, eDesk pivoted to a ‘per-user’ system, capping our usage without a proportional adjustment in price. So beware, what you sign up for today has historically been proven by eDesk to change when it suits them and likely at an increased cost to your business! This doesn't take into consideration what they done with xSellco. Search online for "Rising Prices a Growing Pain Point in xSellco Reviews" and you'll begin to build a picture of how this company approaches what it will charge your business in future.

The relentless price hikes, arbitrary shifts in pricing models, and a barrage of inconsequential ‘features’ have damaged our user experience. The introduction of seemingly sophisticated AI enhancements, rather than adding value, has become an excuse to inflate costs without delivering proportional practical benefits. Features that promised efficiency, like AI email summarizations, have ironically complicated the process rather than simplifying it. Our usage patterns and benefits from the software have remained largely unchanged over the past 3-4 years, rendering the newly added features rather irrelevant in enhancing our operational efficiency.

Further to this, eDesk’s recent ticket-based ‘unlimited user’ offering has revealed a strategy that seems more exploitative than empathetic. It appears to be a superficial gesture, presenting an illusory advantage, particularly to small businesses. However, in practice, this model is riddled with impracticalities and prohibitive costs, making it an unfeasible choice for any business beyond a minimal size.

The prevailing sentiment is one of disappointment. eDesk seems to have shifted its focus away from fostering success and ease for its diverse user base, leaning instead toward capitalizing on small businesses through restrictive, overpriced offerings. Their approach seems to prioritize profit maximization over genuine service enhancement and customer satisfaction.

In conclusion, eDesk has, unfortunately, failed us. Their strategy seems driven more by greed than a desire to offer impactful, value-driven solutions to their users. Their current trajectory raises critical questions about their commitment to customer success and the ethical considerations of their business practices. This is a warning to potential customers for vigilance and a plea to eDesk to re-evaluate and realign their strategies with the true needs and values of their customers. the focus should be on delivering tangible value, practical improvements, and a pricing model that respects customer loyalty and reflects the actual utility of the service. An honest, user-centric approach is crucial to sustaining trust and satisfaction in this competitive domain.

UPDATE:
It's important to clarify that we now pay 360% of what we paid 4 years ago. You're therefore factually incorrect by falsely saying "managing to keep our core prices competitive and below the rate of inflation". Inflation has not been anywhere close to this level.

Your software has constant price rises (multiple times per year) and after hiking our price to 245% this year, you recently offered us a 5% discount if we paid a full year upfront. Hardly a "fair" offer as you've misled others into believing your response.
