Don't get forced into buying more than you need
Check the accounting books. You’ll pay more for Salesforce in the long run because you have to hire and rely on an army of admins to support any changes. That’s not the case with Zendesk. You get the total costs upfront, including licenses, implementation, and ongoing administration.
