I second this notion, there are so many clones.

If you can niche down on one specific feature for a segment of the market that is not being served, you would have better luck.

Freshdesk seems to have done well pretty much cloning zendesk, so there are examples of it working out, but few and far between

If I remember correctly the founder of freshdesk read on HN that people were frustrated with zendesk and had lot of of complaints. So its not exactly a clone of ZD, I am assuming they understood the customer's pain points worked on those features not just compete on price.
