Doesn't really fit all environments
Its used for calls, chats, whattsapps and emails. There is also a quality management and workforce tool but we found that the process was not user-friendly and as such use different systems for this. Our customer and internal comms take place on this platform and we are aware that there are other functionalities to it but are reluctant to venture into them due to the difficulty in navigation.
- Populate graphs in reports
- Allows a whisper function during agent calls
- Has a knowledge base for reference
- Has videos to assist with customer troubleshooting
- Great responses on after sales service
- Great sales team
- Reporting is not easy to manipulate
- Workforce management is not available in a simplified view
- Creation of the Quality management process is not easy
- Call quality is not great in Africa
- Some features do not yet come with a full list of reporting capabilities
- Connectivity causes delays in responses in all communication as they have no tower in Africa
- It is significantly more expensive than local providers
- Lack of integration to in-house systems caused a barrier

Scalable solution for Salesforce integration
Owl Labs is currently using Talkdesk for our Sales and CX teams. We wanted a customer facing phone system that would allow us to customize our IVR, be able to transfer calls to live agents, voicemails, and external phone numbers as well. With our previous system, we had a lot of smaller limitations that were adding up and causing it to be difficult to scale. With Talkdesk, we have many ways to scale our system with simple fixes like pre-setting our holiday messaging and hours months in advance.
- 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.

Talkdesk review
We use TalkDesk for our call center agents to take calls from clients. Agents assist clients with payment plans & applications for Federal aid.
- 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.

Talkdesk is a really strong service with some issues to resolve
Our Company has a large outbound sales operations and Talkdesk is used as our dialer setup to support this operation. Our Company also has an inbound line and required a service that could support both types of calls. Also, the reports and integration with our CRM were two of the essential functionalities our Company requires in a dialer and Talkdesk is able to accomplish both.
- Report setup
- Integration with Bigquery and CRM
- Inbound sales
- Outbound sales - they are improving on this
- Integration with multiple accounts of the same CRM

We support our client's 24x7 with critical customer support and business needs. Talkdesk is critical for us to have the interface up and running. From installing Talkdesk to its everyday use, it has been incredibly smooth and easy to use. With this pandemic happening, we have seen an increase in volumes with our clients and the need to be remote and active on the phones for support. Talkdesk has been great in achieving our needs to help assist our everyday clients.

Talkdesk gets the job done!
We have used Talkdesk for both incoming and outgoing calls across the company particularly in the sale department. For customer outreach, quality assurance is important and call quality is excellent.TD is easily integrated with Salesforce and facilitates our ability to interface with customers to drives sales and enhance revenues.
- Call quality
- Easy integration with Salesforce
- Adaptability to operational changes
- Click to call is highly efficient
- Call quality is sometimes not up to par but customer service is responsive
Talkdesk is our VoIP solution. With the SF integration, we are able to make outbound calls with the click of a button from the SF contact record and during an inbound call, if the contact exists in SF then it redirects the user to the SF record. We have configured it to call out a pop out task so the agent can insert any comments about the call. It really makes it efficient for our agents to go from one call to the next and vice versa!
- As an agent, CRM integration with inbound/outbound calling.
- As a caller, I can listen to different options, leave voicemails, and is even linked to our Website for our agents to take chats.
- As an administrator, manage agents, assign queues/roles and different phone number assignments.
- As a manager, I can see all agent statuses and run reports on a number of times such as who is online/offline/on break, number of calls/chats/voicemails, duration of calls, and many more.
- SF Sandbox integration can be smoother when transitioning away from the Sandbox to the production.
- Ran into credential issues when toggling between Sandbox and Production.
- Getting desired numbers through Omni Channel.

Perfect Communication Tool
We receive calls from drivers, dispatchers, and companies requiring Emergency Road Service. I work 12 hour days. I am using Talkdesk during my entire shift. I am also able to review my calls in case I question an item that was needed i.e. tire size, or location of the breakdown. With Talkdesk I am also able to select a disposition of the call so reporting to upper management is easier. They can simply pull the reports. I am also able to forward a call to another agent or tech easily. This program works seamlessly w/ my Dell Computer and doesn't use a great deal of RAM.
- Being able to easily review my calls
- Know who is online w/ in our organization and change the skills that each member has.
- Callers are able to input their account # and event # so accessing their information is faster and more efficient.
- Able to customize the dispositions of calls for ease of tracking.
- Being able to call a co-worker when they are in 'After Call Work - Online' instead of just when they are in 'Available'.
- Sometimes w/o my knowledge the setting change.
- I would like to be able to change the ring tone.
- I have been experiencing dropped calls, that require I clear my cache.

Talkdesk made a big difference for our team!
Talkdesk is being used as the sole platform for inbound and outbound voice contacts across our Customer Service team. We utilize the Studio feature heavily to construct & maintain our IVR, route conversations to the appropriately skilled members of our team and to manage our requested callbacks. Talkdesk has been integrated with our CRM to create new customer profiles when there is a new contact and to update tickets to reflect certain on-call actions like transfers and hangups. We also leverage data dips into our CRM to retrieve user data and affect routing behaviors.
- Granular, detailed IVR flows.
- Segment team into skill sets and route calls accordingly.
- Maintain and manage a requested call back queue when volume is beyond bandwidth.
- Native data reporting and filtering can be clunky for KPIs that don't align exactly with what Talkdesk has out of the box.
- Integration with Kustomer CRM had to be custom built.
- Cannot initiate agent-to-agent calls.
- Had to custom build a module for A/B testing

Our Guest Experience Department uses Talkdesk to take phone calls for all of our 19 stores throughout the United States. It allows us to have an individual phone line for each location, but route the calls to our Guest Experience team during business hours and back to our local store teams outside of business hours.
- Integrates well with Salesforce.
- Allows one to toggle through many phone lines to call out from a specific line.
- Offers customer service and listens to suggestions about their product.
- There are occasional (very rare, but still present) downtimes.
- Sometimes calls come in and display a phone number that isn't the one the guest is calling from.

Simple and Efficient
I currently use Talkdesk to monitor agents. This includes their daily activities from the time they log in until their shift has ended. I also utilize the reports to get an idea of the overall performance of individuals and also the team in its entirety. Our QA and supervisors use the tool for call evaluations to get an idea of how our agents are performing on their contacts, which also aids in coaching sessions.
- It provides a detailed breakdown of the an agents' performance via the reports provided.
- If your agents work from home, you will find the agent report very helpful, as it provides the agents' pickup rate, which lets you know if agents are missing calls. This can be as a result of connection issues or them just not answering a call.
- It records each call received or made by agent, giving you the ability to listen and download that audio.
- You are able to do remote monitoring by listening in on a call if you think it is necessary without the agent knowing.
- I would love the ability to customize the customer survey. Currently, I have a word count limit.
- It would be nice if the reports came with a date stamp based on the range selected. If I pull multiple reports at the same time, it can be confusing, as it has no subject heading for date.
- It would also be nice if the duration field for some reports was in minutes instead of seconds.

TalkDesk has proven to be a great tool
TalkDesk has proven to be a great tool for our Customer Relations Team. Had it not been for TalkDesk, our advocates would not have had the ability to work from home as they did. Phone calls would not have been answered and it would have been detrimental to our business. I really like everything about TalkDesk. If there is a functionality that we need, that is currently not available, most of the time they are able to accommodate us and find a solution. I am very happy with their product and support.
- Ability to work remote.
- Ease of integration and training.
- Support during and after install.
- Ability to and flexibility with regard to customizing some attributes
- Caller ID.
- Transferring of calls and reporting.

Great experience!
All the associates and managers at the operations team use Talkdesk daily for their phone calls and voice mail needs. The biggest help Talkdesk brings to the company is the assistance of having a phone call and voice mail system. Talkdesk is very important for immediate access to us from our customers. They are able to call us, leave us a voicemail, and get information from the recordings just by giving us a call. We are also able to organize voicemails, by reassigning them and using the transcription feature to add information on our clients to our CRM.
- User friendly
- Great support
- Communication
- Voicemail management
- Agent status
- Call flow
- Frequent bugs
- Easier access to the 'recent activity' when on a call with a customer
- Be able to change your future status, while still on a call, like it was possible before
- Editable 'home' page
- Sending user to offline or another status randomly
- Less phone delay

Awesome tool for call centers!
We use Talkdesk mainly to have a call center software for the tech support team, customer service, restaurant support, website support, etc., So it's our main tool for communications. It is very helpful since we have several ring groups and we can transfer between each other. Also, it is a smart-assigning call queue, so It's not like the regular call center software where it assigns a call to the agent that has the most time is available, but it assigns it to an agent depending on several factors, like the auxiliary usage, available time, etc. It also has a voicemail feature, where it stores all voicemails and can be assigned to each agent, which is very convenient for each agent to track all voicemails, including contact information. It is also used for QA evaluations, as you can upload your QA form and evaluate the call for each agent, adding comments to each section of the voice interaction specifying on what part of the call you made the note so that the agent that is being evaluated can see exactly where are the comments. It also keeps track of every interaction with time stamps and dates of course. It's great overall
- Assigning calls to the queue
- Transferring calls
- Dialing out calls
- Detecting and using audio hardware, like headphones or headsets
- QA evaluations
- Managing the whole team
- Good Dashboard for live reporting
- Live view of the queue
- Mobile app
- Call-bar positioning and customization

Easy to install and use immediately
I would use it daily with outgoing and incoming calls thru an 800 number.
- Answer calls
- Call out
- Track and record calls
- Voice drop
- I sometimes have calls disconnect
- It froze from time to time and I couldn't pick up an incoming call

Perfect solution for a customer-facing startup
Talkdesk is being used by multiple departments. It's mainly utilized by our Customer Care Team, but our Tier II Support Team and Human Resources Department also use Talkdesk. Talkdesk integrates well with our CRM and allows us to keep track of conversations with customers, vendors, employees, etc. Talkdesk allows us to select different outbound numbers when contacting different people, which is super helpful and allows for a consistent experience.
- Customer support - Talkdesk has amazing customer support and always works with us thoroughly when we have an issue or question.
- Uptime - Talkdesk rarely goes down, and if it does, it's quickly working again.
- Customizable settings - Talkdesk is insanely customizable, and the Talkdesk team is always coming out with new features and betas.
- Ringtones and sounds - It would be nice if there were more options for users to change sounds like ringtones or dialing tones.

Talkdesk: Great product but room for improvement!
Talkdesk is our service provider for phone line contacts. The business issues with Talkdesk relate to technical disruptions that can occur for agents - which can impact our frontline operations. Select issues include: - Unable to update Status (and therefore, unable to take inbound calls) - Select technical issues (receiving inbound call when currently on a call, connectivity stability, etc).
Besides that - Talkdesk is a solid product to use.
Besides that - Talkdesk is a solid product to use.
- Attendance Visualizer: Understand where your team is at and what they are working on.
- Custom Dashboards: Easy to manipulate for the information you want access to
- Easy to download Reports
- Technical / service Updates: Provide a more reliable user / client experience.
- Technical / service Updates: Poor ability to get assistance for issues. When attempting to flag product issues i've been told by support my request can only be escalated if i'm the account manager.
- Ability for integration for AI Services. Talkdesk could implement its own voice automation service within the product to allow.

Talkdesk helps keep our SMB competitive
Talkdesk is used to field all inbound Sales and Support calls as well track performance of these calls. The reporting is used to assess performance of the team and resource requirements. Integrated with Salesforce we manage every customer interaction via Cases and Activities. We are also in the process of leveraging Talkdesk's SMS text feature as a new channel.
- Call queue
- Salesforce integration
- Certain team-level reporting metrics
- Better reporting of individual agents, especially via Dashboards
- Cleaner interface for Salesforce tracking (ability to search/reorder Automations)
- Ability to customer Callbar sound notifications (ringer, hold recording, etc.)

- Amazing reports for data analytics
- AWT, ACD, missed and abandoned calls, etc
