  • Customization of IVR.
  • Great onboarding support.
  • Integration with Salesforce.
  • Lacking continued success manager support. After onboarding, you are transferred to general support. Sometimes, we need help with more strategic & bigger picture decisions post launch that would be great to talk through with a CSM.
  • I wish the features available in the web app were available in the call bar app. It would make it a bit easier for our reps to have one less place to look to manage voicemails.

  • They send unsolicited marketing emails with unparalleled regularity.
  • From experience, we've not been able to update billing information through their website for months, despite pointing this out to multiple people. This leads to us getting past due notices without ever having received invoices. Pretty annoying!
  • Their only option for taking credit card payments in a PCI Council compliant manner is a 3rd party whose technology seems to falter every time it rains leading to our phones being unable to accept any inbound phone calls.
  • From experience, We've been repeatedly promised improvements in this area that never seem to come. Some would call that being lied to, but I'm feeling generous so I won't go that far.
  • I think their support response times bear some room for improvement. We notice this more than we do with other vendors because we experience outages at TalkDesk more than we do with other vendors & are frequently trying to determine why our phones aren't working.

  • Real-time dashboards that can be customized for agents and management.
  • Visual IVR creation and management
  • Call management and routing
  • 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.

  • seamlessly handles multiple phone numbers

  • The Live dashboards really help to know what agents are doing as well as see what calls are in the queue and the timing
  • They have a variety of reports and dashboards with the ability to create your own if needed.
  • The ease of administering the system is great and being able to do it from anywhere (via phone, iPad, etc.).
  • Default reports provide most of everything you need without having to create on from scratch
  • We would like the agents to be able to see their progress daily on the tool without seeing other agents (this is currently scheduled I think for Q4)
  • To be able to transfer calls to the top of a call flow, instead of transferring them out of the system and back in, so they can choose the correct option if the Ring group is not known.
  • For the Callback option, transferring the call outside the system and back in, the system retains the outbound caller id, not the customer's original one, so the callback will fail.
  • The ability to see real login/logout reports

  • The Salesforce integration is, in my opinion, the best feature.
  • The solution's ease of implementation is another crucial factor.
  • Talkdesk is an incredibly easy-to-use utility and piece of software. The ease of use of this software is remarkable
  • More options and precision regarding the Talkdesk roles would be nice, as well as the ability to more fully customize which users have access to certain features.
  • Would benefit from a few extra features, like numerous dashboards for tracking various centers or ring groups

  • The best features are the ones that our Customer Service and Sales team use. The teams have to do calls on a daily basis and our customers are all over the USA. The ease of use and the app is the best.
  • Simple migration from existing apps.
  • Quick integration and easy to use.
  • Easy to install and setup.
  • Dependable
  • Easy Reporting
  • Sometime we faced issues related to caches. Not sure how that can be improved.
  • The thing I like least about Talkdesk is the reporting section. We need many customized reports, and for some reason, we haven't really explored this section. We wish it could be simple to use like an API call.

  • Allows customers and partners to contact us with their issues
  • Allows us to contact customers and partners to solve their issues with one another
  • Allows issues to be solved more efficiently and faster
  • sometimes people cannot hear/be heard
  • It would be great to have more detailed info (with graphics) about the team and individual performance
  • team performance reports daily/weekly/monthly mail functions would be great

  • 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
  • The core maintenance, migration and deployment of Voice prompts, functions alongwith flow changes is crucial and is a key missing feature. Development in Production was a shocker and led to lot of confusion and limitation during the implementation and testing.
  • The AI feature is not as supported and reliable in Non English language
  • The Support team seems very lean to handle heavy loads of issue thereby delaying the resolution of the issue. One of our critical issue took almost 2 months to resolve which could have been handled better by proactively driving the issue from talkdesk end.
  • The support ticket does not have any escalation process. It needs to add the severity/ impact to number of agents and have people to support escalation especially involving Call Quality/network/Reporting/storage
