HappyFox vs Zendesk vs Jitbit

HappyFox

HappyFox is a popular cloud-based helpdesk app that handles tickets, asset management, knowledge base and live chat (as a paid add on). Like many other help desk solution it comes with "Smart rules" engine, canned responses, realtime reports etc. Can be used not just by support teams, but by HR, Marketing and other departments too.

Zendesk

Zendesk is the most popular help desk app on the market. It offers every possible feature (although some of them come as paid add-ons), but it can also be a downside. Some would describe Zendesk's interface as bloated and it definitely has a significant learning curve for your team. Zendesk offers a lot of integrations with other apps, so it will undoubtedly integrate in your existing infrastructure very well. It can also get quite pricy for bigger teams. Professional plan is used in the comparison.
