I don't like Zendesk because it feels too heavy for our team

That makes sense — Zendesk can feel pretty heavy if your team wants something simpler and faster to use.
If you want, I can help you find a lighter alternative based on what matters most to you, like:
- Ease of use
- Shared inbox vs full help desk
- Live chat / customer messaging
- Automation
- Pricing
- Small team vs growing team
A few lighter options people often consider are:
- Help Scout — simple shared inbox, friendly UI
- Front — great for team collaboration in email-based support
- Intercom — strong messaging, but can still get pricey/complex
- Freshdesk — more lightweight than Zendesk for many teams
- Crisp — simple and affordable for chat + inbox
If you tell me:
- team size,
- support channels you use, and
- what feels “too heavy” about Zendesk,
I can recommend the best fit.
