The importance of customer service is no longer debatable. 90% of Americans use customer service as a factor in deciding whether or not to do business with a company. With the need to offer exceptional customer service, choosing the right technology to deliver this is more crucial than ever.
With this in mind, many organizations are switching from Zendesk to Comm100 and its omnichannel customer engagement platform.
Comm100 is a global provider of customer engagement software for education, government, and commercial organizations of all sizes. Comm100’s high security standards and zero downtime have attracted industry leaders like Stanford University, McMaster University, Lake Michigan Credit Union, Attorney General of Texas, and Canadian Blood Services. With Comm100, organizations can provide digital omnichannel customer excellence through live chat, AI-powered chatbots, ticketing, social media, SMS and knowledge base – all from one integrated platform.
In this blog, we’ll look at the key reasons that organizations are switching from Zendesk to Comm100, why Comm100 is a great Zendesk alternative, and why you should make the same move.
Comm100 offers superior customer support
Comm100 provides outstanding customer support at every stage of the relationship. From onboarding and training to continuous improvement of partner set ups, we’re committed to customer success. To foster these strong relationships, Comm100 provides frequent check-ins and a dedicated account manager who is always on hand to answer any questions, no matter what.

“The Comm100 team has been awesome… I really like having a dedicated person for customer support so I can so easily and quickly get an answer to my question.”
– Jana Gauvey, Marketing Operations Program Manager, Rand Worldwide
Comm100 customers pay less for more
Organizations switching from Zendesk to Comm100 will see lower costs alongside more features, helping them to achieve incredibly ROIs. Take IMAGINiT Technologies, for example, who achieved a ROI of 1683% with Comm100 Live Chat and Chatbot.
Important features like advanced routing, broader language support and inhouse chatbots allow Comm100 to provide value that Zendesk simply doesn’t match. Find out for yourself and see how much you could save with Comm100 using our Live Chat ROI Calculator.

Comm100 offers every key channel in one platform, all in-house
While Zendesk offers a basic chatbot, if you want a more intelligent chatbot built using AI, you’ll need to get it from a third party. Comm100 provides a better alternative, offering a range of chatbots that are all in-house, including:
With Comm100’s chatbots built in-house, Comm100 customers don’t need to look elsewhere for their automation needs. Choosing a Zendesk alternative that can meet all your support needs provides more flexibility to easily introduce channels and features as you need them. Sourcing all this from a single vendor also makes your life easier and your costs cheaper.
Comm100 allows cloud and on-premise deployment
Comm100 has become a trusted support provider for organizations across all industries thanks to its uncompromising security and privacy standards. As well as complying with all the major security and privacy certifications, Comm100 also offers cloud and on-premise deployment – which Zendesk doesn’t provide.
Zendesk’s cloud-only offerings can be very restrictive for a lot of companies. In industries that need an on-premise deployment for security reasons, finding a Zendesk alternative has always been a necessity. Unlike Zendesk, Comm100 offers both cloud and on-premise deployment, even for chatbot solutions.
Comm100 offers more personalization options
Another reason that companies are switching from Zendesk to Comm100 is for greater personalization and accessibility. Because we know that it’s important to keep your branding consistent, Comm100 offers full control from color to font. You can even use your own code to customize the chat window.
Zendesk doesn’t offer this level of personalization. This means no logo on the dashboard and no ability to change font sizes, making it difficult for companies to retain consistent branding on their website.
We’ve seen that Comm100 offers an excellent Zendesk alternative for companies looking to make a switch. With so many ways that Comm100 and Zendesk differ, it’s worth looking at how Comm100 stands apart from other competition too.
Thompson Rivers University:
“I don’t have a computer science or programming background so finding a chatbot that was simple to build and code-free was crucial – and Comm100 Chatbot delivered on this. With a little learning and guidance from Comm100’s bot architect team, I built our bot from scratch with no technical knowledge. I think anyone who has a social media account can build a Comm100 Chatbot.”
– Lachlan Todd, Communications & Systems Coordinator
Dawson College:
“The support we received from Comm100 was exceptional. We knew that our use case was not typical, but the team was extremely helpful and accommodating to our unique needs. They always answered our questions quickly. It really is a pleasure to work with a Canadian company and moreover, a company that always finds a way to accomplish what the customer wants to achieve.”
– Derek Gaucher, Coordinator of IT Solutions at Dawson College
Canadian Blood Services:
“Our experience setting up Comm100 Live Chat was fantastic, and it was no different implementing our chatbot. The team at Comm100 have been great since the beginning – they respond incredibly quickly to us when we have any questions and have given us a lot of guidance on setting up our chatbot for success. Of vendors we’ve worked with, their support really is up there at the top.”
– Denny Michaud, Customer Relations Manager
