Call Center Studio vs. Zendesk Talk

+ We need to have make a unique survey implemantation. Like we had many surveys after the call and wanted distrubute randomly since they have such a good technical knowledge, we solved many technical obstacles in couple of days and implemented our survey. - I would like to see the dashboard pinned on my agents desktops.

Zendesk Talk is a great partner that helps us in the customer care area by managing every type of contact with customers (both phone calls and emails). I know there is also the possibility to have integration with instant messaging apps (like messenger and WhatsApp but I have never used them in my experience). In my opinion, the best scenario for Zendesk Talk is represented by a context with a high amount of contacts/requests where a unique platform could be a help both on the external side (customers) and on the internal side (a lot of colleagues who are working in the same area and have to work in a coordinate way). For customers, they could benefit from tailor-made answers, also based on past contacts for the same topic, and avoid waiting times during phone calls, with an immediate follow-up. For internal work management, operators don't overlap in a single request, and even if the same operator is not available the one who manages the request later has complete visibility of the entire topic from the historical point of view. Last but not least, I think that Zendesk Talk helps a lot in the context in which the request's speed is a KPI to manage constantly.

• It has many important functions, such as call management, which allows me to know the calls on hold, incoming calls, time of the call, waiting time of the calls, this way I can have more control of how much time I invest to each client.
• The function of recording calls is also very important to know my performance with the client and improve in the future.
• It integrates very well with other applications such as Skype and Salesforce, which are the ones I use.

Incentivized

• Call recording is a nice feature! It is great for training purposes and for quality assurance.
• The metrics you get from Explore are a great insight into how the team is handling the call volumes.
• Zendesk Talk has met most of our needs. It can be a bit unreliable at times.

Incentivized

• Dashboards can not be pin to the screen.

• The lag on the phone is by far the most annoying thing with Zendesk talk due to the voice over IP.
• Using the Reporting feature in Zendesk has never been a walk in the park. We have to customize a lot of fields and when something doesn't seem to add up, it at times feels like pulling teeth to get to the final answer of what went wrong.

In our experience, we have had to go through many support people then ultimately getting frustrated enough to go directly to our point of contact who then doesn't always seem to be able to assist. We tend to get the support we need when it is escalated up to me and I reach out to our point of a contact person to express our frustration.

cloud based and more flexible.

Slack and Zoom phones cannot compare because they have no ticketing systems. Zendesk Talk was the only option we considered because we were already using Zendesk for our email ticketing with customer concerns. We then expanded to using Zendesk's chatbot and then the Zendesk Talk system to keep it all integrated and streamlined.
