Talkdesk Review
- Monitor Service Levels
- Report building
- Call flow design
- Skills grouping
- forecast accuracy
- Better coding options
- Handling Inbound calls
- Outbound calls
- Monitoring
- Very often there are problems with non-calls to certain numbers, and it is unclear for what reason. I think the company should think about the error message when dialing. Since at the moment, if we have a non-call, we can't even figure out if it's a technical error or if we just can't get through to the user because he doesn't answer.
- Very incomprehensible monitoring reports, the timezone is incomprehensible and difficult to track and make a report on agents on the line.
- Integration with CRM platforms does not work perfectly, sometimes integration is brake and it is not possible to attach calls to chats.
Let's Talk About TalkDesk!
We've used various phone platforms in the past and the largest problem we were having is setting up proper workflows our customers experience when calling in. The Talkdesk application certainly solved this issue we were running into. Their Studio / Flow building was super easy to use and very user-friendly.
My absolute favorite thing with Talkdesk is their Studio Academy. This is what sold us on using your system as it allowed our team to self-service any questions we had without having to call in, set up and appointment to chat with an agent, etc. etc.
We use Talkdesk & Callbar for all our in/outbound call needs across various departments and I'm basically our company's go-to when it comes to setting / modifying items.
- Studio Academy - We / our team can self learn on how to address our own problems
- Studio Building - Very easy to draft up a phone tree and have it operational in hours!
- Onboarding - It's so easy to swap seats for Callbar and then run new members through the Academy to understand how to use the system
- 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
With how complicated the Studio Builder can get, it's hard to ask a co-worker to go in and modify something as it's not super easy to understand / modify. You delete one section of the flow and all the lines change, making it hard to re-connect the dots and finish what I came in to accomplish

Talkdesk as a VOIP
- As a System Admin, Talkdesk has many services that help in giving the best customer service.
- I am able to admin agents for my company in an efficient manner and customize permissions given to agents.
- There are integrations that are really worth having.
- Better status page. The status page is not updated in real-time and it's really a disappointment when agents are flagging that Talkdesk is having an outage and when you check their status page, it's not updated. We create a ticket to flag this on Talkdesk and they are saying that they are aware of the issues.
Less appropriate scenario is trying to schedule your agents. some of them lose access to WFM because the settings on the app is getting unchecked for some reason. There are still glitches with the apps for Talkdesk
