Considered Both Products
Dialpad Ai Voice
Chose Dialpad Ai Voice
I used both Talkdesk and Dialpad, both of which are really valid. I am a simple user and I am comfortable with both in the sales business. Maybe Dialpad compared to Talkdesk crashes more times.
Talkdesk
Chose Talkdesk
Talkdesk stacks up against any app I have ever used because there is no amount of traffic that Talkdesk cannot handle. Talkdesk has always come out on top and can't wait to continue to use this app and watch it grow and blossom into something even better. This site will always …
Chose Talkdesk
Talkdesk is by far more user-friendly. Has way more features as well. I have not used any other app that has nearly as many features as Talkdesk does. Anytime I hear about another service similar or see it being advertised they do not have the same features and usability.
Chose Talkdesk
Swyft used Talkdesk a little over a year ago and then we switched to Dialpad for a year. Talkdesk is 100 times better than Dialpad. The customer support at Dialpad was very poor and extremely slow. Even if we were able to provide all of the details that Dialpad customer service …
Chose Talkdesk
I've used multiple apps in the past for customer support, and I Talkdesk is on top of the ones I liked the most.
Chose Talkdesk
Overall quality, is far superior to the other products, we used to have a lot of problems with the database, reports, and quality of the calls itself. Since we start using Talkdesk we improved our work quality by 200% in the first 3 months, it became easy not just for the …

Despite the cost, the ease with which you are able to navigate the system is actually tedious. We have to have specialists in the business to aid in getting some of the reports and making changes to the system. Calls are delayed between us and customers as there is no tower on our continent for the system.

Pros
Dialpad
  • I can make calls through the app & the caller ID shows my office line - I can toggle between the main business line and my direct line.
  • It keeps all of my voicemails & transcriptions in one place.
  • The desktop login allows me to access everything as well.

Talkdesk
  • We were able to replace on-premise solution with Talkdesk Cloud solution within project timelines
  • We were able to migrate region by region while keeping our existing IVR numbers to minimize the impact on customer.
  • We were able to integrate Talkdesk with our cloud CRM, AWS storage and reporting applications
  • The IVR flow changes are easier to understand and manage and to onboard any new team members to support the agents

Cons
Dialpad
  • lots of quirks.. seems to be a lot of random problems that aren't addressed quickly enough
  • Notify users of outages and let them know when outages are repairs
  • simplify the way that numbers/ offices/ departments and individual users is done. I have been using the service for about 2 years and still dont understand the difference

Talkdesk
  • 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.

Dialpad Talk is easy to use and no one has had a problem using it. Even when we have had questions/problems we have been able to fix it ourselves without having to go to Dialpad to ask for help, which saves everyone time. We don't have any reason to cancel our use of this product and we are very happy with how it performs for our team.

Renewing the use of talkdesk is a cost-effective solution for our company. By continuing to use it, we can leverage potential cost savings and efficiencies. For instance, talkdesk may have features that automate certain processes or enable better resource allocation, resulting in reduced operational costs. Secondly, renewing the contract contributes to enhanced customer service. Talkdesk likely offers specific functionalities that improve customer satisfaction and support. This could include features such as intelligent routing or real-time analytics that help agents provide personalized assistance and resolve issues more effectively. Thirdly, renewing the contract ensures seamless integration and compatibility with other systems or technologies used in our company. Having a unified system across different departments or functions enhances efficiency and reduces potential disruptions caused by incompatible systems. Moreover, there may be benefits gained from data sharing or streamlined workflows enabled by an integrated platform.

Usability
Dialpad
The Dialpad app is very user friendly. It took very little time for even our most technically-challenged users to adopt it. Dialpad is also constantly upgrading their software so that functionality is gained. User adoption was really amazing. All it took was just making a few outbound calls and a few short videos to train our people.

The original date for roll-out, was unable to happen because there was an issue finding our existing phone lines to port them... The only reason I gave a 9 is [that] the original person we have been working with, Rolled out phones. Pro without telling anyone and then went on vacation, I only say this to explain that there is a gentleman that took over to help us named Brett and he was FANTASTIC! He allowed a ton of calls and answered all of them, walked us [through] settings, profile set up, and even emailed screen shares so we could help other members of our team! Thanks so much, Brett you ROCK~

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.

Dialpad Ai Contact Center gives you everything you need in a single communications platform. This is one big difference between Dialpad and Zoiper—beyond voice calls, you also get video calling and team messaging along with essential contact center features like IVR routing and a sales dialer. The connection isn't always the greatest and there seems to be some lag time when speaking.

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.
