For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Thanks for your feedback on help centers. I got pulled onto a big project
at work, so I've gotten behind in my forum emails, so my apologies for not
responding sooner.
The main reason we're looking at a switch is that our ticketing manager is
unhappy with the ticketing/reporting side of Zendesk. Zendesk can give us
most of what we need if we move to a more expensive version, so we're
exploring other platforms that may provide equivalent features at a lower
cost. I've mostly been happy with the Help Center side of things--I have a
few gripes, but I think that would be the case with any platform!
