Can't talk me out of using Talkdesk
- Ease of access in data for reporting outside of their own reporting tools, as this data export allows for easy data processing and reporting updates.
- User setup and management is a breeze, takes minutes to get a new employee up an running.
- Quick installation of the Talkdesk call bar is a gift, not having to run through a long installation process saves time when having to set up multiple new users.
- Modernize the Talkdesk desktop call bar to a more 2021 look.
- Allow for SQL database connection for automatic data fetching. This would allow our internal reports to update automatically without having to manually pull this data every time reporting needs an update.
- Customize call ringing sound on the desktop call bar.

Talkdesk Full Review
- Simple and beautiful UI.
- Default dashboards.
- Self-service configuration.
- Overall quality dependency.
- Responsiveness from CSM's + Support.

We accomplished so much with Talkdesk

If you must call your customers, this is a no-brainer choice

Must-have tool in tech support
- Call quality is good.
- App is lightweight.
- Friendly UX.
- There's a short delay while on a call that'd be great to get rid of.
Talkdesk Review
- Easy to use desktop app.
- Good customer support.
- Easy to use mobile app.
- High call queues usually ends in upset staff members. A better queue system would be helpful.
- Less downtime, or App restarting required. Likely due to our higher than normal call volumes.
- Personalized "Favorite" lists in each users account.
- Text options instead of only calling.
Cloud-based telephony at its best!
- I appreciate Talkdesk's cloud-based solution that makes adding numbers, new routes and IVR flows easier than ever.
- It's also affordable while still delivering a pleasant interface, and all of the services I would expect from a more expensive brand.
- The partnership with Talkdesk is just that, you genuinely feel the team has your goals in mind, and their technical team is quick and competent. I've never seen such a focus on client success.
- The only slight drawback of Talkdesk, that they are working to address, is the detail available from their analytics. Some more in-depth call data isn't available in the reports but has to be requested. This is minor though compared to the benefits offered by Talkdesk, and of course, they continue to improve the dashboard and reporting so I am confident this concern will continue to diminish.

Talkdesk Review
- Easy to access.
- Easy to change status.
- Easy to view.
- It would be helpful if there was an option to have the system provide [users] a frequent [popup] advising [users] of what status they are currently in.
- The UI is easy on the eyes
- The caliber is handy and doesn't depend on keeping a browser window open in order to get calls
- The call flow is easy to configure and training is very straight forward
- Reporting could be better, as its very basic
- Setting up a weekend on-call system is quite a challenge with Talkdesk
- We have issues sometimes where we receive voicemails for missed calls even though 3-4 people were available and no one's line rang
