    More channels to provide support like in messengers using flexible automation rules. Kanban board allows great planning of tickets. Could be easily used as task management and issue tracking.

    I like Deskhero as an alternative to Zendesk because it feels more straightforward and easier to work with, especially if you want faster support workflows without the extra complexity.

    I like that DeskHero keeps things inside Gmail or Outlook and doesn’t try to replace your workflow. The AI drafts replies based on past emails and can use Shopify data, which makes handling support feel much faster and more natural.
