We use Talkdesk as our phone solution for the customers to interact with our agents. Talkdesk helped us to have a very ideal phone solution with seamless integration with our helpdesk system. The IVR solution that is provided by greatly accepted and ideal for our business.
  • IVR flow
  • Integration with our helpdesk system and other system
  • Great reporting
  • Stability
  • Agent callbar functions
  • Bulk import options
Well suited for any company looking for complex and customised IVR options. Less suited when it comes [to a] company [that] has more than 1000 agents as they miss few bulk agent/user management options.

At our company, we use Talkdesk to communicate with our customers. One of the best use cases of the product is its ability to integrate with Salesforce. As for scope, we rely heavily on Talkdesk to communicate with customers and disposition call notes to properties as we buy and sell homes.
  • Integrate with Salesforce.
  • High reliability of call service and audio quality.
  • Good apps for use with the system.
  • Features, As Talkdesk is new they are slowly improving the product.
  • Studios can be complicated via their UI experience.
  • No Ring Group control gives difficulty in Management.
Talkdesk is well suited for good communication and integration with Salesforce. Some scenarios where it is less suited is where you expect certain features and they just aren't there yet. Now with given time they will improve and most likely become a better and better product.

Talkdesk is used at our company to ensure key communication throughout the office and for outbound calls. Without our phone system, we wouldn't have the amount of business that we do today. Talkdesk is used all day, around the clock for us to engage in communication with nurses who want to work with us on emergency assignments or contract positions.
  • Easy to use
  • Convenient
  • Faster transition for phone calls
  • Saves Space
  • User Friendly
  • Making it easier to end calls when your line is constantly ringing
  • Selecting options with ring tones
  • A different screen where it pops up in the corner
  • Keyboard options to answer a call
Talkdesk is used daily, all around the clock to provide key communication for our company. We use it to make outgoing calls or accept calls with reservists who are interested in working with us. Talkdesk is even used in and around the office to do communicate easily and professionally. We also use Talkdesk to keep a record of call length, and call volume which helps us succeed. We transfer calls throughout the office easily with this system. Using a "warm transfer" makes it a great way to let someone know beforehand what the call is regarding before transferring the call to them.

I use TalkDesk 5 days a week, taking anywhere from 50-100 calls. With 2-3 hours of talk time. I love the ability to navigate TalkDesk so smoothly, especially while on the call. The setting that I use most on [the] daily are right at the screen that I see when on a call, making it super easy to stay on the conversation while navigating TalkDesk. Without TalkDesk, I would not be able to do my job as efficiently!
  • Providing the keypad as the main screen, and being able to use it as you would as a regular phone.
  • Being able to navigate the app so easily and quickly
  • Being able to call back the person you were just on the phone with without having to look up their information is a huge plus
  • I would say being able to troubleshoot. Like calling your own line from TalkDesk.
TalkDesk is perfect for everyday use, it is a huge plus especially when you are making several calls a day, and are wanting a simple, app to use in a fast-paced setting. The only thing that I would change would be adding a feature to where you can put yourself on break while you're on a call so that you don't have to deny calls when you're off a call and can not take any more calls.

It really uses the full app for International calling. One [of] the best apps I will recommend, it has a quite simple layout anyone can use it and has great connectivity. All the call gets connected [and] there are many country names present in that so you can call any country by using its dial code.
  • Great connectivity
  • Quite simple
  • cool features

Really good and has better connectivity. It needs to work on mobile applications [and] needs more improvement. Should work on less data speed, user-friendly, simple UI, and lots of features and has every country dialings option much recommended to all of you [since] response is very good. Quick resolution on the complaint in any situation.

Whenever we need to connect to the customer out of India, we use Talkdesk and it is very convenient and easy to use we just need to select the country code and enter the customer number.
  • Connects to other countries easily
  • No charges need to be paid
  • Voice clarity
  • Sometimes we get connected to the customer but they are not able to hear us don’t know if there is a connectivity issue
When we need to speak to the customer every employee uses Talkdesk only it is mandatory and we also get caller id so that audit can check the details also

We use Talkdesk to communicate with a portion of our customers-truck drivers. My team uses Talkdesk for both inbound and outbound calls to truck drivers to help fill their schedules and make sure our shipments get covered.
  • Easy to monitor calls and download recordings
  • Clean, simple to use UI
  • Good service, always connects easily and has clear audio
  • Glitchy-sometimes will ring with the noise but will not give you an option to answer
  • Difficult to make changes/suggestions of new features
  • Slow-sometimes the availability will not update or you think you're available when you're actually not
Well, suited-Making inbound and outbound phone calls for operations. Less appropriate-critical calls that require secure connections and possibly detailed data.

The business problems that are addressed by our company choosing Talkdesk as our communications software of choice would be... better communication among the entire company. Talkdesk [is] also helpful when trying to dispatch new deployments within the company because it allows our consumers to reach out to us regarding their employment and business needs.
  • Technology and how it works for us
  • Communication
  • Wholeness within the company
  • There are tech user issues
  • Functionality issues
  • Dropped calls
Talkdesk may be very well suited for certain situations but not so great to my knowledge in other situations. The situations that Talkdesk would not be suited very well for would-be situations that I need more face-to-face communication such as a business teleconference. Talkdeskis very good when it comes to verbal communication within a large company

Talkdesk has been a great choice to help us smoothly take our business global with [seamless] functioning, great support, and relevant functions. The tool has all the latest functionality and carries out complex customer call flows effortlessly. The simple and extremely intuitive interface has been helpful for employees to use all daily job functions easily and thus has [helped] in resulting in the most optimum productivity. The data and vast report options further help to make the best decisions to ensure the best product delivery and customer experience. Integration with other SAPs like Zendesk, salesforce and more, further puts it forward in the league of other crms. Multiple device usage has been a great feature to make sure that work from home in recent times is a piece of cake. The function also assures maximum productivity with 0 downtime experience so far
  • Make call flows efficent
  • Relevant report generation for improvement across LOBs
  • Custom and flexible integration
  • Ringing options
Helpful if have a large customer base to make use of the multiple features and options available. Single numbers assigned to each agent [are] also helpful.

Within our branch of the company, we use Talkdesk to assist new hire candidates with questions regarding the I9 process. If they have any questions regarding any part of the paperwork when onboarding. In other departments within the company, Talkdesk is used as a VoIP to help onboard new candidates.
  • Good for VOIP services
  • Has helped cut cost compared to competitors
  • Communication within the company
  • Tech is confusing
  • Could have better tutorials
  • Call forward is hard to understand
I personally had a hard time when Talkdesk was first implemented within our company because my login did not work, and once we were able to get the log in to work my calling was not functioning properly so I was not able to communicate using Talkdesk as the solution took 2 months to figure out. This, at the time, was very frustrating.

I manage and instruct others on how to train new Talkdesk users. If one of my employees has an issue when signing up for Talkdesk or trying to implement within a new department of our company it is my job to make sure they understand as their manager. If they don't understand then they can't do their job.
  • Offers national communications structure
  • Offers tech savvy options for keeping in touch
  • Tech issues are quickly resolved
  • Would like the operation to run more smoothly
  • Missing user functions
  • Could offer walk through for less tech savvy users
Talkdesk is well suited for users that are already comfortable with learning new technologies as it allows operations from most locations. Talkdesk does not work as well when being used by users who are not quite as comfortable with technology as they often find it confusing and hard to navigate for new users.

We use Talkdesk as an overall communication device both within our field and when needing to speak to dispatch or our main boss regarding issues that may arise within the field. Overall Talkdesk has helped tremendously with communication and effectively being able to keep in touch with other professionals within our office.
  • Communication
  • Problem solving
  • Technology advances
  • Calling is sometimes hard to figure out
  • Not initially user friendly
  • Tech issues
Talkdesk is well suited for communication especially within a larger company as it would allow for employers to keep tabs on their employees as well as communicate effectively with each and every employee. More cost-effective than most communication software systems. Very helpful for already tech-savvy employees within the company.

We use Talkdesk as our inbound/outbound phone software program. We also use it to report our agent's call metrics and calculate how many inbound and outbound calls they have had daily/weekly/monthly/etc. We have been able to see and calculate who is working, how much they are actually working, and who has talked with each caller, in what queue, and for how long.
  • Indicates how many calls are in the queue
  • Shows who is calling what line and when
  • Shows a call log history
  • The actual time someone called in-this is often a day or two off.
  • Having the ability to empty a queue without having to take every call.
  • Incorporating the old version with the new version!
Talkdesk has assisted with efficiency at the company I work for. I work for an emergency response staffing company and we must have the ability to be quick about getting positions filled for deployment as soon as we receive our orders from our client. We have had to fill thousands of positions at one time at the last minute's notice and Talkdesk has the ability to keep up with our needs.

Talkdesk is the main platform for our call center team for live chat and calls with over 120 agents taking hundreds of interactions per day. The largest value was the integration we are able to use with our custom CRM for flowing calls based on an understanding of account about which the client calling (services, issues, history, etc)
  • Integrate with our CRM
  • Client Side Application Launches easily and Work Consistently
  • Administration Tools are easy to understand and use
  • Support of issues - resolution is often measured in days\weeks
  • Omnichannel experience for agents is flawed and configuration options are limited
  • Typical tools (such as transfer) does not have customization or ability to work with a business
  • Unable to assign calls from the dashboard
  • [In my experience, ] reporting is unreliable through the dashboard and hard to leverage useful information
  • Omnichannel reporting is terrible
It works better in the phone application, likely for a smaller business. I would not recommend it to anyone for its Omnichannel solution. [I feel like it is] more suitable to a company that wants a simple solution, cloud-based with a quick turn uptime.

Talkdesk is the main tool that we're using for our business. This is where we communicate with our customers on different platforms such as calls, emails, and even on social media. This is an important tool for us as this is where our business is revolving. Very thankful for Talkdesk for making our lives so easy.
  • Really good in using for comprehensive reporting
  • Love how we can interact with our customers real-time
  • Chat interactions are always on point
  • can simplify some reporting
  • should help with history data
  • the ability to manage users status in omnichannel
Talkdesk is very well suited for customer interaction may it be real-time or not. The performance exceeded our expectations although there are some opportunities and challenges. Compared to the current one we're using which is Talkdesk, it has been better since the last tool that we've been using. Looking forward to more added features in the future.

Used by a few departments but not the whole cooperation. This has helped the business problem of waiting on vendors to update call flows and change call flows or operating hours. Before we had to wait on vendors whenever we wanted to update these and now we can get it done quickly and easily ourselves.
  • Making it easy to update the call flows
  • Support
  • Online documentation
  • Easy to administrate
  • Reports are good but are lacking some of metrics we expected.
  • Some metrics were calculated differently than expected - not bad but made it somewhat difficult to compare past results to current ones.
  • The SMS feature could use some improvement.
Talkdesk is well suited if you are looking for easy to learn system that you can update yourself quickly and easily compared to other options. If you are looking to be agile and control your own call flows. If you are uncomfortable editing your own flows (even if it is pretty easy here) this may mitigate one of the best features.

Talkdesk has replaced most of our on-prem Avaya and Mitel systems for the entire organization to date. The balance of the kit will be replaced by Talkdesk soon. Talkdesk provides a perfect solution for us as a global company with a mobile workforce. It has provided a centralized way for us to manage colleagues working from a combination of branch offices and home.
  • Professional services to onboard companies.
  • Support is excellent.
  • Easy to install client side software on PC and mobile devices.
  • Easy to manage from cloud-based portal.
  • Account managers have been very responsive to our needs.
  • They have developed a healthy support community that has lots of useful info (see https://community.talkdesk.com/s/)
  • There is currently no way to manage reporting dashboards in a central manner. This is on the roadmap.
  • There is currently no way to route calls based on agent skills. This is on the roadmap.
  • A more advanced understanding is required in order to produce meaningful reports right now. This is on the roadmap.
I have been involved in Talkdesk since the beginning with our company. We currently have 7 brands within the business on Talkdesk and more are planned to migrate in 2022. I am a huge proponent for Talkdesk as it has simplified my life tremendously as an IT admin for a global company. I am part of an IT group that is scattered throughout the world, so having a cloud-based phone system like Talkdesk makes perfect sense.

Our company is using TalkDesk for customer support, this has been a great replacement for the past system. We moved from a system that was having a lot of issues due to how call flows ran, the studio tool has made this an easy task to build and work with from a support standpoint. Our users seem to have fewer issues with this system as well.
  • Studio for call flows.
  • Higher quality calls.
  • Ease of access to the system.
  • Images in Omni Channel.
  • Better structure in Omni Channel.
  • Integration with Okta to auto build user profiles.
For a SaaS phone system, it's great, scalable, and easy to implement. I would recommend for hard to build call flows and for HiTrust compliance. this has been a very important part of why we are using them. If you are looking for text and media phone lines this is not the place to come as the lines they have are not compatible with this service.

It helps to monitor our agent's status during call emails and much more. I personally use TalkDesk to see how many calls they take, I can also see how long they take as well as what status they use the most. This is a product that I recommend to every company where your agents have to take calls and you want to monitor their efficiency. There are many more things that it can help you with, but if I keep on going I will never finish :) All I can tell you is that I have loved using TalkDesk since day one. You will not regret it.
  • Minitor status of agents
  • Check how many calls they take
  • Change their status from available to away and many more status.
  • Make outbound calls
  • Inbound calls
  • Whenever we listing to calls, it would be good if we could maybe fast forward the recordings
It is well suited when we can monitor our agents and we can actually tell if they are active or not. This has helped us maintain good productivity. There are times where we feel like our agents are not doing what they are not supposed to and we can review what status they have been using. We can see if they are taking long breaks, lunch, or [another] status that we have available.

Talkdesk helps us track stats for the agents as well as allows us to watch the queue to ensure all of our agents are assisting clients. It also allows us to pull reports to see where the agents are standing and what they can work on. When it comes to QA's, it allows us to pull calls from any day and grade those calls, whenever there is any kind of issue, we are able to coach the agents on the spot and resolve the issue before it becomes a problem.
  • Easy to find stats. Allows us to see which agents are performing well and which agents may need a little assistance.
  • Allows us to track how long agents are on the phones.
  • Allows us to find calls that we can listen to.
  • Easier way to find service level.
  • Easier way to see what time agents logged into the phones
Overall, Talkdesk is great. I have been using it for quite some time and it can be easy to navigate once you get used to it. There should be some things that would be nice if they could be found easier. But overall, Talkdesk has been a huge help for myself and the agents. We never have issues with it.
