Cons
Con Integration with Salesforce requires manual work
You'd think it would be the best Salesforce integration ever since it's owned by Salesforce, but it's completely sub-par. You have to have customer service reps manually connect SF accounts to Desk Companies.
Con API is awful
You can't properly paginate/sort API results so you can get into situations where you aren't getting all the data.
Con LOTS of outages

Con Expensive
Pricing starts at $499/month.
