Five-plus years into running Zendesk across an enterprise footprint with hundreds of agents, and the admin experience is genuinely the strongest card in the deck. Role-based permissions are granular enough that I can give a team lead view access to macros without letting them nuke a shared workflow. Custom roles, org-level restrictions, conditional fields per ticket form, agent groups scoped to specific channels. All of it configurable without filing a support ticket or waiting on a vendor engineer. That matters enormously at scale.
The one gripe I keep bumping into is the Sandbox environment. For an enterprise account, the sync between sandbox and production is inconsistent. I've built out configuration changes in sandbox, gone to push them, and found the migration tooling doesn't carry over certain trigger logic cleanly. It's not a dealbreaker, just an extra manual verification step every single time. Customer support has been responsive when I've raised it, but the fix feels long overdue. If you're running a lean ops team and doing heavy config work, budget extra QA time for that step.
