Zendesk Positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant in 2015 Gartner Magic Quadrant for CRM Customer Engagement Centres
Zendesk has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “Visionaries” quadrant of the April 27, 2015 CRM Customer Engagement Centre report.
Marcus Bragg, SVP of Worldwide Sales and Customer Success, Zendesk, said,
“Zendesk is the new face of customer service, and we believe our Magic Quadrant position reinforces our vision that today’s customer service leaders must innovate differently than a decade ago, and to do that, they require a new platform and partner to stay ahead of their customers’ needs,”
“This year Zendesk moved into a new quadrant. We feel a big part of moving quickly is due to the support we get from our 52,000 customers, which – increasingly – includes many new large global references.”
According to Gartner: “This research examines the market for global customer service and support applications for case management, trouble ticketing and problem resolution. The functionality evaluated includes knowledge-enabled service resolution, social media/community management, offer management, interaction assistance tools and service analytics dashboards. There should be agent tools and customer tools, designed on a common platform.”
