Talkdesk is an enterprise grade solution for telephony service. Zendesk eould be the only other option in terms of solutions I have implemented and seen in practice. It is easy for business users to learn how to use talkdesk and develop call routing paths dependong on the nature of the customer's request

Talkdesk has been helpful in allowing our agents to conduct their jobs in an efficient way by utilizing the phone systems. We are able to transfer calls easily to other agents or ring groups. This is a feature I use daily, and I couldn't imagine having a nationwide company without this service.

I have never had a problem making a phone call or an issue getting a line out. More times than not it is the customer that will have a bad connection or have a lot of noise on their end. I have had experience w/ dropped calls, but never not being able to access a line

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.

Training was simple as the app is easy to use. The phone has gone through upgrades since but it's very adaptive and doesn't require a complete session. There are articles available for self help in case something is forgotten. There are a lot of functions to talkdesk and we have not used all of them

Really easy to get set up out of the box. Anything I needed to understand further, I was able to just hop into the Academy and self-teach. I could then bring my team-members to those same sections so they could learn as well without me having to put together complicated SOP's / etc

Alternatives Considered

Cisco manage a complete solution and doesn't have to care or rely on other vendors. They manage their own calling solution (Webex Calling), their own Contact Center (Webex Contact Center), their own devices (webex devices, IP Cisco phones, Webex app softphone), their own PSTN offer. Everything is well and fully integrated, and easy to manage for IT teams.

We were unable to easily access call metrics using WM. Since the switch to Talkdesk, we have not had to struggle with our reporting at all. All the information we need is readily available and can be exported. We are also able to modify the metrics that we need and have them compiled in different ways. The information on Talkdesk is modifiable and makes it easy for us to get the numbers that we need at the end of the day.

We have over 200 employees in 11 states across the United States. Everyone uses Talkdesk. I believe that says a lot about the product and its flexibility. We need to be able to rely on system in order to assist our customers. Reliability and sustainability is important to our success

Return on Investment
Cisco
  • It doesn't take a lot of investment to train new Webex users.
  • Communication can be achieved from almost any device. There are some, especially Android that do not work very well.
  • It has helped us create fluid communication, where we have been able to get rid of other applications that Webex came to replace.
