    Easier to integrate Customer Login, either by API or by Screenset, that makes the Integration easier and using that any System in the entire Organization can enable the Customer Login Procedure. Easier to manage the Subscriptions and Consent History and use that to sent the Marketing Mails. So with this it works a Single Source of Customer Entire Data.

    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.

    • 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.

    Cons
    CDC Software
    • Logging Feature was not good. for basic it was good but for advanced issue checking and logs access it was not great. In our Product Landscape Picture we are using DataDog for Log Checking and Debugging
    • Sometimes, the CDC Software shows DataCenter and Server Generic errors Count were high, No way to see and check the SAP CDC Software System Health Activity
    • For Site SSL Expiry, there is no Proper Notification Service. Sometimes we get notification, sometimes we dont get.
    • so to tackle we have developed a Custom Solution with SAP CPI. It would be better. if by default it was working well

    • 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.

    Usability
    CDC Software
    I give 8 because it was the best tool and make it easier to manage the Customer Authentication, Authorization, Subscription and Consent History. Because of this we can able to enable the Login Feature for any Product in the Organization Landscape. it lose Rating because of lack of Log checking feature. to know what exactly kind of issue for the customer was unable to login. we cant able to know. because as we have enabled a API key through we receive details to validate. it would be even more good. if a dashboard was enabled to see particular user login access and failure -> reason (like lack of data)

    Everything about it works, as I have previously detailed. Coming from different companies and using other tools like Twilio or Aircall, those are VOIP tools that are built to be plugged into other tools, Zendesk Talk is natively built into Zendesk and feels correct in the user experience of Zendesk

    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.

    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.

    • We were able to reduce global headcount by 20% in our call centers.
    • Allowing customers to leave voicemails creates the personal touch needed and really increases our customer connectivity score. We saw increases in our CSAT scores after the implementation of this solution.
    • Call handling time and case reopen rates both decreased. Y/y it decreased 18% and 60%.
