Considered Both Products
CrazyCall
Chose CrazyCall
CrazyCall is a phone system that offers features and resources to increase sales in the blink of an eye. I really like that it is a tool that saves money and time, in addition to guaranteeing growth in our company, it brings benefits to our clients with the opportunity to …
Chose CrazyCall
CrazyCall integrated with our CRM better than the other competitors. The integration was seamless and offered exactly what we were looking for. Some of the other competitors that we were evaluating were not able to integrate with our CRM in the same manner. That is why we ended …
Zendesk Talk
Chose Zendesk Talk
It's natively built into the user experience, the others rely on outside apps to integrate into their platform. You can set up a Zendesk Talk account within minutes and have a phone number ready for customers to contact you.
Chose Zendesk Talk
Both have pros and cons. We chose Zendesk Talk for stability as Talkdesk almost always encounter user issues on a daily basis.
Chose Zendesk Talk
Maintenance costs for ServiceNow are higher, so Zendesk Talk is a good option even if I think it could be improved in terms of integration with other apps/flows/systems.
Chose Zendesk Talk
Exotel has a fair advantage when it comes to telephony as it offers a wide range of products at a fraction of the price of Zendesk. But when it comes to premium content and ease of access. Zendesk takes away the trophy. We have been using this for a while now and clearly, it …
Chose Zendesk Talk
We were made aware of Zendesk Talk through good reviews from reputable sites. Zendesk Talk's ACD was very outstanding and this is what attracted us as this was what we needed. The other products mentioned they glitched a lot and caused multiple dropped calls.
Chose Zendesk Talk
Explanations behind switching to Zendesk: It comes up short on cutting-edge customization choices and this doesn't simply turn out for us. The given ticket that executive's arrangement presented by Zendesk is incredible, and it upholds the omnichannel commitment to clients. The …
Chose Zendesk Talk
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 …
Chose Zendesk Talk
Prior to using Zendesk Talk, we used standard hand held phones in the office. Zendesk Talk has made us 75% more productive and efficient and allowed us to reach a lot more customers to serve.
Chose Zendesk Talk
We switched to Kustomer, as it is omnichannel and Zendesk is not.
Chose Zendesk Talk
Zendesk Talk has been far more reliable and robust than Ring Central. We had a lot of unreliable instances with our old provider. We didn't have call recording before either.
Chose Zendesk Talk
Zendesk Talk has many of the features as the other phone systems I have used. My only reservation is their lack of focus on a feature that will allow their clients to remain PCI compliant.

A very complete tool to be always in contact with customers and meet their expectations and demands in an efficient way, in the established times. The work team is pleased with this software because it automates many of the tasks that had to be done manually before.

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.

  • 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.

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.
