It is an awesome tool for companies that have a hybrid or even fully remote setup and where the integration with Salesforce is needed. The solution completely replaces old phone systems and adds another layer of data to Salesforce, to give an even better view of the interaction with clients, adding automatically events/activities which can in turn be used to reporting purposes.
If I was building a contact center from scratch with the intent of integrating AI features into my operations, Talkdesk would be a top choice. If you do not plan on integrating AI, you might find a lot of Talkdesk's offerings extraneous. Talkdesk's Copilot (real-time agent assistant, summarization, etc.) is very accurate for shorter calls. We have an ATT that is much higher than their customer base average, and the summary can start to become less succinct the longer the call goes on. We've noticed the same for automated QA scoring. This is more of a limitation of AI in general, rather than for Talkdesk itself.
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.
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 The 'Talkdesk Academy' is often very out-of-date.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
We use the Natterbox CTI interface, seating on top of and integrated with Salesforce. The interface is minimalist, popping up as the calls arrive and bringing the Caller's details if they exist in Salesforce. The user then have the possibility to open the Caller's record and visualise the details and add notes, or make the notes in the pop-up window which will end up in the contact's record activity. Very easy to use. The routing queue interface is also very user friendly with drag and drop items that make it visually easy to read and understand.
Talkdesk is helpful because we use it to receive calls in our BPO. Not only do we track live ques and statuses from agents, but we also receive feedback from our assessors through the talk desk as well as coaching, and it also stores customer contact data; I can track all my calls, and It records all the calls so we can come back to review them. You can also listen live and track your daily productivity. You can change your aux statuses very quickly, and there was an update talk desk that allows you to queue another status while you are on a call or after-call work, which is a great feature.
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.
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.
When signing up with Natterbox, our first goal was to replace the landline phone system as Covid hit and people moved to remote work. Second goal was to have a system that would integrate with Salesforce and provide an interface that would be easy to work with and learn for all levels of tech expertise. Those two goals were only achieved by Natterbox, by far.
Talkdesk is used to take inbound and outbound calls, which helps improve customer experience. It also provides evaluations through quality management. Talk desk scores are sometimes behind, but they still work well regarding taking and receiving calls. Some agents blame the Talk Desk because they lack knowledge of how to use it.
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
It doesn't matter where anyone is physically located now, everyone can have their calls delivered to their mobile or laptop and answer them.
We now have internally the capacity to manage our call queues.
We now have a lot of data to report on, either grouping the calls by Campaign on Salesforce, or grouping them by Inbound or Outbound calls, or by User, or by Team.
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!
