Talkdesk
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.

Pros
Nooks
  • Call quality is usually good
  • The recordings and transcriptions are helpful
  • The lobby set up is a great system to collab/talk to coworkers

Talkdesk
  • 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.

Cons

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 The 'Talkdesk Academy' is often very out-of-date.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.

Usability
Nooks
Nooks is very user friendly and intuitive, especially after the recent update. it integrates seamlessly with other tools in the tech stack and communicates almost instantly. If you were to run into issue, the Nooks support team are fast to address and resolve. Also, Nooks reps are always open to trainings and refreshers on the platform.

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.

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.

We used to use Orum but decided to switch due to the number of issues we would see whether it was with connect rates, dial to connect times, and the amount of technical difficulties. Nooks outperforms Orum in every aspect especially around the reporting and analytics as Nooks goes into much more detail.

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.

Return on Investment
Nooks
  • Positive: Connect rates and 60 second conversations held
  • Positive: More meeting conversion from calls (still dominant via email)
  • Negative: I think more NAMER regions experience it but it has to do with Gong Engage functionality like with wrong dispositions

Talkdesk
  • 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!
