Questions to answer before switching

Does Ada's selected plan include the features and limits we need?

How to evaluate this shortlist

A useful comparison turns the differences between Customer Support tools into a concrete test. Use these steps to avoid choosing from a feature table or the lowest headline price alone.

Start with a representative Customer Support workflow, not a feature checklist. Define who will use it, what data goes in, and what outcome the team needs.
Test the complete path through Zendesk, Salesforce, Freshworks: permissions, sync direction, failure handling, and volume limits often matter more than the integration name.
Compare the cost of the real scenario, including users, usage, storage, support, and contract requirements. The entry price alone does not measure adoption cost.
Before switching, list the evidence gaps, request a demo of the critical workflow, and confirm security, data residency, export, and support with each vendor.

Structured signals help narrow the shortlist, but a trial with a real workflow is still the best way to validate the decision.
