Question
We are checking out desk.com and zendesk. We need design customization features content management system to build out how to articles and FAQ. Just email support for now, one support person which is me, a founder. We are self funded... Which is the best system for the purposes of a startup with one support person?
Answer
My only experience is using Zendesk, and while they're great for large teams, their pricing tiers can be frustratingly orthogonal to startup growth rates. You might want to use them for the long haul, starting immediately if your budget can handle it, or transitioning later. If you're using SalesForce for your sales teams, there are support modules there that can handle basic ticketing. It all depends on what you expect your support demands to be in the future.
