Talkdesk is an amazing asset to those who work in the customer service field! Talkdesk has been a tremendous help with ensuring all calls are coming through and we have had no issues with connectivity. I would 10/10000 recommend for others to use this company! I haven't had any issues with using this app and will continue to live by it

Talkdesk is currently utilized by our support organization as a call center option. The goal of TalkDesk was to improve our support's ability to understand calls currently waiting to be answered, where they are waiting to be answered, and create efficient routing methods. The problem we have experienced with TalkDesk is the call flow is a little confusing and requires you to become your own expert with the product. The support will join and help, but it takes days to get the right people involved. In addition, the reporting is consistently clunky and does not always represent what we are looking for.
  • The GUI looks nice
  • Represents real time data well
  • Talkdesk has significant improvement opportunities around the reporting concepts
  • Talkdesk has significant improvement opportunities around complex troubleshooting promptly being available to assist
  • Talkdesk has significant improvement opportunities around better call flow design concepts
While I feel TalkDesk would be great for an entry-level IT shop, it lacks complex tree and flow designs. [I feel like] the ability to understand a call flow from start to finish on a graph is not logical. The call flow design does not allow you to copy and paste components. You are required to build everything as individual components which is frustrating if you want to mirror concepts but with a VIP route, as an example.

That shows how many calls are made and at what time slot. Also, talk time is shown, which is perfect. You can also track each contact conversation separately. You can focus not only on our agents but we want to give them the best tools and resources they can use to assist our customers and that's why we have Talkdesk. This helps us monitor and improve our agent's performance on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
  • 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

Talkdesk is being used across sales, operations, and finance. It's integrated tightly with Salesforce and has been used to improve sales performance in terms of answer times and transparency of actions. We were able to implement and measure lead response times accurately and fire out CRM automation directly from the dialer after a call is finished. This has saved the sales team a bunch of time and we would never go back to our old clunky enterprise VOIP software.
  • 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
I am 100% likely to recommend Talkdesk as the overall experience has been excellent. That said they should have a license available for internal-facing teams, we still have two phone systems because the license cost for creative, technical, or otherwise non-customer facing teams was the same as for sales, service, etc. But for a sales or support team, I would recommend this every time.

We use Talkdesk to connect to our clients in the US and it is being used across the whole organization. It has solved the issue of connecting with clients across different countries. It has been a very useful tool for the entire organization and the best part is there is no latency. UI is amazing and is very simple to use. I highly recommend it to everyone and believe me you will not regret it!
  • 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
When I have to connect with my client outside the country and I don't have any other means to do that, is when the Talkdesk comes into the picture. I am using Talkdesk throughout my working hours as I am required to use it to get my work done. After a year and a half of experience, I can tell you that you can trust Talkdesk.

[Talkdesk] is being used to communicate with clients while troubleshooting their technical issues. We are able to speak directly and clearly with each client. All metrics are also tracked via Talkdesk back-office options which helps keep our staff on track with superior customer service. All calls are archived also which helps with training new staff.
  • Call clarity excellent
  • Admin options plentiful
  • calls archived
  • Occasional dropped calls.
  • Unstable during week internet connections
  • more options needed to ID incoming calls
Talkdesk is well suited for our needs to communicate with our clients with frequent updates. The archived calls are very clear and useful for training scenarios. This is the best software we have used in this field. I have not experienced any less appropriate instances with Talkdesk during my two-plus years of use.

Talkdesk is a very useful application. [Especially] when you need to connect with your client abroad. I Never faced a big problem while using it, even if there is a problem, we must appreciate their customer support who are very much active with instant resolution. I must say if you have a job to connect with people abroad then you must have Talkdesk.
  • Smooth Connectivity
  • Call recording to keep a track
  • 24/7 Customer support
  • Glitch less performance
  • Easy to use
  • If you can make adding conference call process easier

We use Talkdesk as part of our daily duties to ensure our team's calls and chats are within our quality standards. Either through live call listening or a scheduled 1 on 1 coaching for their interactions audited by our quality analysts. It helps us address our customer's concerns from the past/present/future. We can look at previous opportunities committed and right them. Listen to live interactions to address any potential concerns or reward those who do great. Review how we are trending to accurately forecast where we would need help most. this is more of the backend usage of the tool, but obviously, it works as intended for inbound and outbound interactions, either through email/chat/ or phone calls.
  • Call recording.
  • Live call listening.
  • Queue management.
  • Inbound and outbound calls.
  • Inbound chats.
  • Inbound emails.
  • Omnichannel can be better.
  • Reporting can be made better and user friendly.
  • API integration for different other tools.
  • Scheduling and forecasting.
  • Alerts and notifications.
  • Widgets.
Talkdesk has been a great tool for us to monitor our team members' performance weekly. It provides us a real-time view of how our team has been performing in terms of their status, given that there are folks who work from home, it provides us confidence knowing that our team members are being productive. Our agents find it useful for outbound interactions for sales interactions should they be requested by their customers. Being able to transfer to different queues should there be a special task needed or a special language that is required to assist our customers is a great feature as well so our customers receive the best kind of support with their inquiries.

Talkdesk is being used as a platform to communicate with our customers through call, chat, and email. This is also used by all the departments that we have in Customer Service. It helps with how we make our business and know how customers react with all the products and services that we offer.
  • Communication platform
  • Business analysis
  • Customer's sentiments review
  • Performance review
  • Call/Chat/Email review from recordings
  • Limitation on reports for Chat and Email
  • Delays on incoming chats
  • No filter option by date and time in chat
This is well suited for a customer service set up, as the platform is convenient and easy to use for the employees. We get to speak with our clients clearly and at anytime of the time without interruption. I can't think of any scenario that this tool is less appropriate to use, since we always need this with our daily tasks.

Currently, Talkdesk is used as a CTI solution for our North America Customer Care team and Digital Sales team. We are planning to introduce the solution to other regions of the world. We used another CTI solution in the past but had several issues. So in 2020, we checked different vendors for the CTI solution and Talkdesk has selected the best solution for us that would fulfill our requirements. We were looking for CTI solution that is closely integrated with Salesforce. Talkdesk CTI solution meets our expectation.
  • 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.
Easy to use.
Good call quality.
Salesforce integration allow to create task, activity, case.
Good customer service.

When we first migrated to Talkdesk, every call center agent was using Talkdesk as well as our entire Operations staff. This included our CSR's, Sales, IT, HR, Etc... The longer we were with Talkdesk the more we realized it is not suited well for dedicated lines and had to move our Operations staff and Sales agents to another phone system (Zoom in our case). The CSR's are still using Talkdesk due to the depth of reporting, ease of monitoring/pulling calls, and overall call center structure.
  • In-depth, although complicated, reporting.
  • Call routing, (although this changes depending on what features you leverage)
  • Small and simple local application
  • Call quality (Calls bounce between multiple servers during calls)
  • Voicemail management is lacking in functionality
  • Consistency, every new update changes fundamentals of how the system works.
Talkdesk works well for small/medium-sized call centers with simple routing and NO dedicated lines. When mixing dedicated and shared lines Talkdesk fails miserably, especially in the reporting. They had an old feature (Teams) that was a decent solution to this issue, but this is not supported in all of the new reporting features. Reporting can be outstanding, assuming your users are technically inclined. The company's employees are primarily developers (Over 50%), this is great for getting new features out, but a lot of these features were obviously designed by a software developer, not a UI/UX designer.

Talkdesk is used to effectively communicate with clients and agents. It is used by my company and it ensures that we can document all communications easily after calls and makes it easier to track who has called and to dial directly out of other programs we use.

  • documents missed calls, voicemails and outbound calls in one place

Talkdesk is used by almost every client facing team in our organization. It provides us with complex customer call routing, call recording, voicemail and analytics on team and individual performance on the phone. We integrate with Salesforce and this allows us to keep call recordings within the clients' account where any team member can review.
  • complex call flow (business hours, IVR)
  • analytics on individual and team performance
  • integration with other software such as Salesforce and Slack
  • connectivity - users are often reporting they need to restart
  • more options for customer satisfaction surveys
well suited for multiple teams to use the product with the ability for separate managers to have their team settings and reporting. also well suited for reporting of individual and team performance. there are plenty of out of the box reports with great visualizations. live reporting. good integrations with other software. too often teams have to restart the software for connectivity issues. better options for customer satisfaction surveys.

In John Paul, Talkdesk is used across all organizations, not just for internal communication but also externally with customers and providers in all contacts. It also helps to manage times, teams, and service levels in our practice. Being a very dynamic tool, it allows us to coordinate the project, teams, and users globally. The biggest issues are related to some breaks on the call bar as well as audio or status quality which most happen near the update dates, before and after. On the other side, the synchronization with our main tool (john Force), despite some isolated breaks of communication with the call bar, makes it possible to export the customers' data automatically and directly to our database, which is awesome.
  • Export contact data
  • User-friendly Settings
  • Schedules monitoring
  • Teams management
  • Personalized Dashboard
  • Secure communication
  • Audio quality stability
  • Other Apps synchronization
I think it can be well-used in any company, with 3 or 300 employees. It is so dynamic that we can set it up adapting to every communication need profile. Actually, even if you work alone, you can use it to communicate with your customers or providers. I'm not the most expert even on my company but still haven't seen limits to it. Oh! Almost forgot, the workflows managed by diagrams are also amazing.

Talkdesk is used by our Customer Support Team. A few other employees use it as a call monitoring tool. It is used to receive and capture incoming calls and manage outgoing or return calls.
  • Records all calls

  • Management of voicemail messages
  • Current queue status
  • Reporting options are limited

Talkdesk is currently being used across our whole company in Canada and the US. We have offices in Toronto, Reston, and Boston. This allows remote workers and office workers to share the same department phone numbers and extensions, access the phones system anywhere they are located. As a sales director, I can easily listen to call recordings for my sales team.
  • Call
  • Transfer calls
  • call recordings
  • voicemail notifications
  • Private lines so others cannot hear VM's
  • Basic with not many features for a sales team, or analytics
  • lacking support, takes forever to get any response for something fixed
I would recommend this platform depending on the use case. If you are looking for a basic calling platform that a whole company can use or call center then it's a great tool. If you are looking for anything more like analytics, private vm's for departments, quick support for issues then I would look for something else. It works great a [for] inbound and outbound calls and call recordings.

  • Allows easily managed calls

  • Quicker access to calls
  • Would like if it had more instructions
  • Adding more options
Talkdesk helps with making calls a lot easier to transfer and gives a decent amount of options even though more would be nice. My company pretty much uses Talkdesk for our everyday tasks. There isn’t a day that we do not use Talkdesk so it would be really weird not using it.

It is being used across the majority of the organization. All office personnel uses Talkdesk. Talkdesk is used for communication between employees and supervisors. It also helps our team stay up to date with new developments that our team would need to know about without the delays created by email.
  • Communication
  • Assistance with team meetings
  • Video chat and conference capabilities
  • Tech difficulties
  • Could be more user friendly
  • Better tutorials
When needing assistance with team meetings Talkdesk is very helpful. Although Talkdesk can be a little difficult to learn initially for new users, Talkdesk is very helpful when running a global or primarily remote business as it allows individuals to feel as though they are in the same office building even when they are not.

It's very helpful in so many ways like I don't even know where to start from like monitoring our calls, the number of calls time spent on one phone call, even makes it easy to supervise our employees, to make and receive calls during the day wouldn't be easy without it.
  • Make calls
  • Receive calls
  • Show every detail of the call
  • I think it's perfect
It is well suited because of the many options it offers when it comes to transferring calls, warm transfer which is one of my favorite because it's easy and professional like you always know your calls are being transferred to the right person without a doubt. Just the best in the game.

We use TalkDesk for our customer service department, for managing all of our inbound and outbound phone contact with our customers. It addresses our need for multiple phone lines; and for us to take a high volume of calls over the standard calling system. We are a customer service-based company, so this helps.
  • Mangage agent status
  • take a high volume of inbound calls
  • call routing
  • The software can be glitchy using the application vs the web browser.
  • sometimes the software drops calls.
  • the admin interface seems like the GUI could use an update.
Talkdesk is a great platform for businesses that need a "mini call center" for handling calls. I have used Vonage, RingCentral and other providers in the same sphere and TalkDesk is the easiest to use of all of them, and constantly has the most "up" time. Well suited for businesses from 5 - 100 people.
