RingCX, based on the former Dimelo, is an AI customer interaction tool built to power digital customer engagement.
Once I had to search the logs to find cases and data on a particular keyword, but I was not able to do so as there was no search tool available, nor was there a sort or filter tool. I was totally frustrated as I had to skim through the data to complete my task manually.

RingCX solved a lot of problems we had as an organization. Being able to have easy tracking, easily managing call queues, setting up call rotations, and more is really awesome. The app is also very user friendly and we all appreciate how great the integration with Salesforce. If I had to make any complaint, or note where they could improve is turning off the call queue via a better calendar integration (Eg: if I am in a meeting automatically turning off call queues). We mainly use RingCX for troubleshooting/support calls and it's so easy to log and track (for accountability) in Salesforce.

Desk.com automatically tracks analytics on all cases coming in and going out.
Desk.com helps prevent multiple people from working on the same case. However, it does allow us to assign the case to someone else if we feel that person is more qualified to address the case.
Desk.com has very few bugs or server issues that we've seen. This helps prevent any delays in communicating with our customers.

Reporting. The analytics and reporting is very detailed and customizable.
Call Queues. We have the option of having all phones ring at once, in a certain order or the person who has been idle the longest. This helps spread the work amongst the departments.

Internal knowledge tools are clunky and annoying to access, outside the regular workflow of everyday staff
Arbitrary and confusing limitations in business rules and custom fields
Arbitrary and confusing limitations in case handling - for example, if you begin a case as a phone call you CANNOT email the customer from the case. As though no one working at Desk has ever sent a follow-up email...?
Not very good for B2B, mid-to-large businesses. Difficult to set business rules based on company information (for example, service level/tier) and nearly impossible to track key stakeholders and get clear insight into the relationship at a high level
Reporting tools are clunky, slow, and just all-around pretty useless

We will be very likely to renew our contract with Desk.com. It is easy to use, and provides us with everything we need to keep our customers and employees happy. They have also been very helpful in catering the application to our specific and unique needs, including working across brands and adding specific content for our products

Currently most of our needs are being met, although the WhatsApp solution is weak and does not allow for calls and coexistance, the rest of solutions for Webchat, Social Media, and calls are meeting our needs. The other missing element is simultaneous ringing, but we have been ablet to configure priorities which we didn't have before.

Desk.com and Salesforce Service Cloud's usability is seamless to get up and running, administer, and scale across the organization. It allows us to get up and running in days rather than weeks and has transformed our customer support teams globally into efficient, world-class teams. The best practices that the Salesforce and Desk.com teams provide are also very valuable, as we have the right case studies and tips to implement right away in our organization.

The reason I gave this rating was I would like to see global rules created for say holidays. Currently I have to create 37 individual custom rules for say Memorial day. Which is quite cumbersome. Or maybe a template that could we could make a copy. A copy feature would also be handy.

Their support leaves much to be desired. They do not respond quickly and do not follow up with feature requests. There is also a lack of on-demand or live training available for the teams to use as they learn a new tool. Because there is so much customization, a lot of questions do come up regularly.

I rated them an 8 because their support team is highly responsive and reliable. Whenever we need to reach out with a problem, they are quick to respond and do an excellent job of keeping the ticket updated. I really appreciate that they make sure to keep us posted throughout the entire troubleshooting process, so we are never left in the dark wondering what is going on. Most importantly, they consistently resolve our issues in a timely manner, which is crucial for minimizing downtime and keeping our daily operations running smoothly.

As I stated earlier, implementation of Desk.com went more smoothly than most. The resources in the "Support Center" are fantastic, and I never ran into anything that left me stumped, angry, or disappointed.

Overall, it performs a lot better than all three combined, with a lot fewer glitches and a lot more user-friendly and user experience efficiency. Any new link that needs to be done, takes a lot less time to execute on desk compared to the three others. Simply advanced when it comes to execution this platform is.

There are far more features in the RingCX platform than in our exploration of the other platforms. Additionally we utlized another service that had stability issues along with higher costs for overall local phone services that we were able to consolidate when we made the switch to RingCX along with 3rd party services to handle various Omnichannels that were all avaiable in the RingCX platform.

Better customer service and employee efficiency when dealing with cases
It's so universal, meaning that everyone can use it and it's easy to understand.
The only negative impact is that our IT department who is assigned tickets has responded to customers instead of to the local reps and we have to ensure they know to change the email if it's assigned to them.
