Zendesk offers two tiers of support coverage: Standard Support, included with all Zendesk Suite plans, and Premier Plans, built for customers who need 24/7 global coverage, faster response times, and proactive expert guidance.
Standard Support
All Zendesk customers have access to Standard Support, which provides essential coverage, including:
8-to-5 Customer Care: Web and live phone support during local business hours, five days a week.
Help Center and Community Access: Self-service resources with product documentation, best practices, and peer discussions.
On-Demand Learning Courses: 75+ self-paced training courses to help your team get the most out of Zendesk.
Standard Support provides reliable assistance, with response times of approximately 30 minutes for business-critical issues and 24 to 48 hours for non-critical requests. It does not include direct access to Zendesk product experts or a dedicated success team.
Premier Plans Support
Premier Plans are designed for customers who need proactive, high-touch support and faster outcomes. Where Standard Support operates within local business hours, Premier enhances the experience through 24/7 global coverage and priority routing, so your team is never without expert assistance when it matters most.
Premier plan customers receive:
24/7 Global Technical Support: Around-the-clock coverage across all regions.
Priority Routing: Faster handling for requests identified as critical or major.
Guaranteed Response Times and Follow-Ups: For major and critical tickets, with a credit-backed SLA guarantee.
