Talkdesk is a cloud-based contact center platform with voice, digital channel, and workforce engagement management capabilities. Talkdesk’s key features are its customizable user interface, built-in AI automation, and its integration with numerous CRM and helpdesk applications.
Talkdesk is very well suited for teams that are working from home. It is easier to log in wherever you are, still be reached by your customers, and have your colleagues available for consultation or blind transfers in one click. It is also well suited for companies that have clients who speak different languages. Using the call flow, we are able to direct calls in specific languages to the agents that are fluent in it, saving us a lot of time with unnecessary consultations or blind transfers.
Kixie integrates seamlessly with our CRM (Zoho), meaning it updates call notes directly on the customer's CRM profile.
The one-click dialing feature directly through our CRM is a great feature. It's so simple; just search for a name, one-click, and you are on the phone.
The local presence feature is a nice touch for cold calls. It provides a local area code when cold calling to increase the likelihood of an answer to the call.
Studio Builder - Can get messy really fast when building.. I'd love a more free-flow setup. Think something like LucidChart where it's all drag and drop. When I'd finish building our trees, it was VERY hard to show our executives because of how chaotic all the lines looked
I'd love to see some additional integration flexibility, aside from Salesforce. We use Help Scout and the inability of "splitting" created interactions from TD to HS creates a challenge with having a CS team and Sales Team. We have to have all inbound calls go through CS and all outbound go through Sales. Then it's just workflow / transfer city
Creating an API that would refresh the Callbar / browser window would be nice to avoid things timing out if we don't have calls going in/out in 1-2 hours. What will happen is that our status will read "Available" but when a call comes in, it'll push to VM until we go and logout / in to refresh the system
It's not a 10 because we're always open to some technological, fiscal improvement that may come along. I've opted for an 8 because the product is reliable and easy to use. It fits our current needs for the most part. However, we would like to see some improvement in the reporting and easy call tracking/identification if/when questions come up regarding a particular call.
Talkdesk is seamless. Very easy to use and self-explanatory. Once shown how to navigate the web app and caliber, there is no need for a review of the information. I was a part of the initial purchase decision for Talkdesk and its usability was one of the main reasons for our purchase.
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 implementation was rather seamless. Our architect was competent and was able to guide us through the necessary critical questions to ensure our implementation aligned with the business needs. The turnaround time was rather fast. While our initial ask and setup were not complex, we were using the platform in under 3 weeks from the time we engaged the implementation services. As we have expanded our feature usage, we have had very similar experiences.
Kixie integrated much better with our CRM (Zoho) than CrazyCall. In addition, Kixie had increased reporting features that CrazyCall did not offer--CrazyCall's reporting was limited and not detailed enough for our purposes. Lastly, at the time, CrazyCall did not have the inbound call services that Kixie offered. In fact, CrazyCall did not have any inbound services when we were using the software.
I didn't select Talkdesk, the company did, I had no choice but to embrace it, I think Five9 is somewhat better because it is 100% web-based and it is really simple to manipulate agent groups, and data exports. TD can improve on that, Team Leader licenses are very limited.
