Review of Talkdesk 2021
- Record calls
- Live monitoring
- See daily activity uses
- Ability to lift hold and speak with borrowers without disconnecting other line
Best calling app for Abraod
- Dashboard Creation
- Integration with different Applications
- User friendly interface with customized features
- Support stats of call monitoring for report preparation
- The downtime should be informed well in advance
- If [the] internet is down, the app freezes
- Extremely easy to use interface, no reps at all had difficulty with it. Which is rare
- Integrates with Salesforce processes with clicks, no code needed. Integration is fairly robust, we've had a couple of minor issues but they got fixed quickly
- Talkdesk needs a good internet connection, when reps have a good network connection it has been super reliable
- You can't see missed calls or voicemails on the dialer, you have to have a tab open. I know this is a design choice to keep the dialer UI super simple but it would be great to be able to see this
- Reporting has been improving but the reporting function for calls is slow, clunky, and hard to use
- Sometimes error messages can be unclear on calls, it may not be obvious to a rep why the number didn't work
ONE OF THE BEST TOOL IN THE MARKET, JUST AWESOME!!!
- Amazing voice clarity
- Easy to use
- Bold and simple UI
- Mute button does not work sometimes
- Call transfer option will be cherry on top
- Some US no.s go engage, an update should fix this
TalkDesk saves the day!

- Admin options plentiful
- calls archived

Talkdesk CTI Solution
- Frist of Talkdesk call quality is lot better than our previous vendor.
- Talkdesk able to create case and activity in Salesforce automatically through it's integration process.
- Talkdesk provide customizable report and dashboards
- Salesforce Customer records easily accessible while in the call using Talkdesk Callbar App.
- I think the Salesforce connector could be improved. Several times, users were logged out from Salesforce and their call bar app get disconnected. They don't pay attention and their call activity wouldn't be created.
- An easier way to sync all Salesforce Contact and Lead data by region. We are a global company and we are only using Talkdesk in North America so no need to sync all our contacts and leads in Talkdesk. Some sort of data filter criteria would be helpful.

Salesforce integration allow to create task, activity, case.
