Talkdesk might not be needed for smaller companies (1-10 employees) where everyone has their own number and doesn't need to transfer calls. However, Talkdesk helps larger companies become incredibly efficient with their call routing. For our call center, Talkdesk is especially helpful because it puts callers in a queue with an option for a callback. On the internal side, we can see how many guests are in line in the queue, which helps us with understanding how many employees we need on the phone. This also helps us understand how busy we are at a certain time and tracks what's working and what's not. This also helps us track our data of how many inbound calls we have. As an Account Manager in sales with different territories, Talkdesk is especially helpful in using "ring groups." If I'm not available for a call in my territory, it will send the call to someone who is related to me to try and get an agent on the phone who has a similar knowledge set.

- Studio Academy - We / our team can self learn on how to address our own problems
- Studio Building - Very easy to draft up a phone tree and have it operational in hours!

Cons
Cisco Business Edition 7000
- More cloud based services need to be added to the default service package.
- Companies frequently require a small contact center within the UC environment. It would be nice to see a build it contact center in the box.
- It would be nice to see some advanced AI based services (IVR voice recognition service) in the BE7K application list.
- Call recording should be also built in.

- Better status page. The status page is not updated in real-time and it's really a disappointment when agents are flagging that Talkdesk is having an outage and when you check their status page, it's not updated. We create a ticket to flag this on Talkdesk and they are saying that they are aware of the issues.

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.

Talkdesk is seamless. Very easy to use and self-explanatory. Once shown how to navigate the web app and caliber, there is no need for a review of the information. I was a part of the initial purchase decision for Talkdesk and its usability was one of the main reasons for our purchase.

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.

The implementation was rather seamless. Our architect was competent and was able to guide us through the necessary critical questions to ensure our implementation aligned with the business needs. The turnaround time was rather fast. While our initial ask and setup were not complex, we were using the platform in under 3 weeks from the time we engaged the implementation services. As we have expanded our feature usage, we have had very similar experiences.

I've used 220s and 240s too, but it takes a lot of time to set them up, a lot of time to download the iso files, and set up of datastores. 7k saves the engineer a lot of pre-build assessment and evaluation time. Gets a lot done in a lot less time, returns are a happy engineer and a happier customer.

I didn't select Talkdesk, the company did, I had no choice but to embrace it, I think Five9 is somewhat better because it is 100% web-based and it is really simple to manipulate agent groups, and data exports. TD can improve on that, Team Leader licenses are very limited.

- Decreased average response time on emails - due to proper forecasting by our team but of course by usage of data received from this tool.
- Increase in quality audit scores through weekly reviews by this tool.
- Employee morale and company survey as agents are not stressing with the easy use of this tool.
- Reduced average handle time to ensure first response is addressed or first rings are addressed immediately.
