DevRev is well suited for both multi-team and single-team environments, and teams can realize meaningful value even without having product, engineering, and support all onboarded at the same time. Its strength is clearest when used by customer-facing and delivery-adjacent teams that benefit from shared context and tighter feedback loops. However, DevRev is less appropriate out of the box for teams that sit outside those core functions, as the platform’s terminology and workflows are opinionated toward product, engineering, and support use cases. Without deeper custom object support and greater flexibility in redefining terms and processes, it has been challenging to demonstrate value to those teams and to help them move away from established tools and ways of working.
As a growing company, we did not have customer service contacts set up like a traditional contact center, even though we were trying to operate like one. Talkdesk made the transition simple to orchestrate the new setup, allowing customers to have their contacts answered quickly. As Talkdesk has continued to roll out new products such as Copilot and AI Autopilot, we are implementing and continuing to realize the benefits.
Talkdesk excels at reporting. It offers a wide range of reports, such as Aux, AHT, and productivity reports, which are great for monitoring performance.
Talkdesk has speech-to-text analytics. This is an AI transcript system. The AI detects speech and transcribes it.
Talkdesk is easy to integrate with other apps. Such as Calabrio and Zendesk.
The onboarding experience could be improved for teams that are not directly implementing DevRev, as they are often introduced to a powerful platform without enough guided context and can feel overwhelmed early on.
Creating and managing objects, dashboards, and other configurations would benefit from more robust desktop-based creation tools, as current workflows can feel constrained or unintuitive at scale. Use industry standard language and report building.
While regressions are rarely critical, the frequency of small UI issues, such as broken date selectors or text visibility problems caused by theming, creates unnecessary friction and frustration for users.
From experience, customer service is terrible, we've had 5 account executives over 18 months, extremely difficult to get timely answers to pressing issues.
Integration with other tools, such as ServiceNow, is not truly integration (in my opinion). There was a marked difference between what the salesperson communicated during the evaluation period and what we actually got once we purchased and implemented the product.
We continue to have stability issues which force our agents to restart the Talkdesk client. I frequently receive vague error messages ('something went wrong') that can be frustrating as there's no actual detail to what happened. To be fair, it has improved since we implemented the tool, but if you were to ask our agents what frustrated them, Talkdesk would be at the top of their list.
Being a multi-channel platform was one of the things that drew us to Talkdesk; however, the chat channel lags way behind voice in customization and reporting.
Lack of training resources. The 'Talkdesk Academy' is often very out-of-date. Would be nice to have actual webinars or online training (even paid training) for various functions of the tool like reporting, WFM, IVR, etc.
One of the best tools our there to tackle alot of our needs or issues within the organisation's and is value for money as you find alot of the features already in bedded and the Ai features are user friendly no need for additional training and Talk desk support when any issues arise is amazing
DevRev provides strong support through a dedicated key account manager and tech team, making the experience seamless. There might be hurdles, but they get resolved with team support. The tool is also very easy to use, with the user able to customize and use various features as needed.
As a user, the Talkdesk system is pretty easy. However, as a leader or an admin, the system can be difficult to navigate. Talkdesk appeared to integrate different solutions into their environment. While the overall skin of the environment is pretty seamless, it's easy to see that some solutions are segregated off into their own area of the Talkdesk ecosystem. This is pretty evident with Identity, WFM, and System Analytics, where you have to navigate to their respective areas to pull reports and gather data. Where many other reports are available in Explore
Talkdesk is very handy but, sometimes we do face issues were the system can just kick you out and not be able to do calls or receive calls but, what I like about the system once you start refreshing or troubleshooting, everything becomes normal it is a unique system and very modern we don't usually have system issues with Talkdesk.
I have no functionality, reliability, or speed concerns with DevRev. In the past, we raised a few latency issues that were fixed within days by the engineering team. The DevRev team were incredibly thankful for these being raised.
reports are good until a report is a big one in size then the wait is longer and some call reports delay by an hour or so which is not ideal as we pull these hourly and need them from Work force management perspective and Quality reports are perfectly fine
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 training that was given to us was very smooth and professional. I give my trainer 10/ 10 rate the training was so smooth and very helpful she would make sure we also watch videos of how to use the system which made it very easier for us and what was interesting it is because, the system is also easy.
Nothing is perfect!! Needing the ability to repeat the training so everyone was on board was important. Not real sure how many people had to repeat the training as they trained on their own and given 30 minutes at a time.
We were very satisfied with the implementation of Talkdesk. The team was able to gather all the data and information about the system we had in place at the moment and delivered us a Talkdesk plan that suited our needs. We had a few calls after implementation where our questions were answered and gave us the confidence to continue using the system.
While Freshdesk and Kapture are great tools, they lack advanced features such as agent assist and AI summarisation. Dedicated support at these companies also becomes an issue, as no dedicated team is allotted due to frequent changes. Also, these tools are not DIY kind and require external help for use and excellence.
Call recordings, quality assessments, feedback, coaching, and monitoring, the call flow is effortless and painless, changing statuses from after-call work is updated to be qued so you cannot change after aftercall work is finished, shows you the company metrics, SLA, abandonment, number of calls taken and record occupancy for you and the team. Many more features make Talkdesk an innovative software compared to its competitors.
DevRev is incredibly flexible - while we started with a support and product move to the tool - Engineering, Finance, People, and our Account Management team quickly followed. The best part about these teams being in DevRev is tying everything back to the customer and being able to build intuitive, flexible workflows for any need.
talk desk has helped us massively with flexibility of one system giving us all the relevant information we need to be able to drive improvement and also good service from work force management to quality improvement to the reporting of the work and inputs going in and assess outputs to determine the success of our work and remaining development areas
Reduced hold times with callback feature = better CX
Easy transfer option between teams where we can talk rep-rep first before bringing the caller in = less repeated information the customer has to provide = better CX
Modified call dispositions allows for better call management & organization = less work on our end!
