Cons

Avaya could use some improvement in moving calls off the system when they have arrived at a far destination. This is a technical point and will not be often encountered by users or most technicians and really is no fault of Avaya but crossing over into local telephone systems around the world would be a great advantage.
The methods for interacting with some of the menus are rather involved. The system is highly complex but at this time it is mature enough to start bringing all the control features under one roof rather than through three separate interfaces.

I'd like them to be a stand alone for all support services.
The amount of time it takes for a customer to be routed can be lengthy.
At times, the connectivity via headphones (even with the recommended ones) is not great.

Likelihood to Renew

Avaya OneCloud CCaaS 8.0

Based on 13 answers

I am really not the decision maker on this subject but given the cost of the investment in Avaya, I do not see the company not renewing the use of Avaya. The new licensing model no longer requires expensive upgrades to stay current with new features added to the system and really helps with the cost of investment.

Talkdesk 8.2

Based on 4 answers

It's not a 10 because we're always open to some technological, fiscal improvement that may come along. I've opted for an 8 because the product is reliable and easy to use. It fits our current needs for the most part. However, we would like to see some improvement in the reporting and easy call tracking/identification if/when questions come up regarding a particular call.

Usability

Avaya OneCloud CCaaS 8.0

Based on 6 answers

I find Avaya easy to use but I am not a beginner. I think it is much more difficult for beginners unless the administrator has some basic programming skills. The system is getting more difficult to use but I enjoy learning and haven't found myself stumped yet.

Talkdesk 9.1

Based on 68 answers

The whole system is user friendly and there is practically no need of a induction period or an introduction education. You can have an agent [have it] set up and working in a few minutes from log in to the first phone call. For an Admin navigation, the reporting features is a bit tricky but manageable.

Support Rating

Avaya OneCloud CCaaS 7.8

Based on 8 answers

I give it this rating because the support services of Avaya have proven to be reliable when needed. Great feedback for our queries has always been received from the support agents. 24/7 availability of support, which is very essential as our Call Center department also functions this way, therefore, the knowledge and technical support we require is always available to us.

Talkdesk 8.6

Based on 184 answers

If Talkdesk had a dedicated phone support line I would have given this rating an overall 10. Their knowledge base is absolutely HUGE and at times very helpful. It's easy to search through and their customer support chat system works perfectly fine, but there are just some times that you need to speak to a human on the phone to ensure you are always on the same page.

Alternatives Considered

There are other vendors out there, Cisco, Mitel, Shortel, etc.... We also sell Panasonic systems. Panasonic fills a gap/price point for the businesses that wants to rely on us to manage their phone system, and get their foot in the door with a phone system. The Panasonic from an administration side can be rough on a system administrator trying to do their own MAC work. Cisco and the others all have their benefits, and drawbacks. Each have their own pricing and feature models, so it is really a wash in a matter of speaking until you get into the realm of support, licensing, and integrating with 3rd party vendors.If you do need to rely on a 3rd party vendor to integrate with your AVAYA solution, if the vendor is a Dev Connect partner you know it will work. Avaya spends weeks with vendors testing and creating documentation on how to integrate a multitude of solutions with their partners. Other competitors are lacking in this department.

I use all of these daily and Talkdesk is our go-to for calls and customer follow-up. We have had a good experience that continues to get better so there's no need to fix what isn't broken. At the end of the day, our customers want to get ahold of us in many different ways depending on their preferred methods of communication. We need to keep all of our channels open and Talkdesk is our best solution for speaking directly to our customers.

The timing of Talkdesk has been at a time when there are so many variances the company had zero home working prior to implementation, Desktop restrictions. However given the ability to offer home working has kept our organisation going with only 4 days down time ROI has been covered within our 9 months.
