- Calls to our external customer.
- Conferance calls with customer & within the team.
- Transfer of calls from one adgent to another.
- Accepting incoming calls from customer & create a record in phonebook.
- Even if the headphone is connected to laptop, it should ring the external speaker of PC so that we know about the incoming call.
- Sometimes hang the software.
- If software is not getting opned then we need to delete Talkdesk folder from %appdata% to restore it back.

Not sure you can trust Talkdesk
Customers call us on the phone for technical support and accounting assistance
I also use Talkdesk to monitor the status of my team and review their customer interactions
I also use Talkdesk to create reporting on my team's performance (Average Talk Time, Available Time, etc)
- Talkdesk stores information about interactions well so I can quickly locate and review calls
- Talkdesk allows all users to review calls relatively easily
- Talkdesk has a handy phone book option so I don't have to memorize phone numbers
- Talkdesk statuses are not always reliable. An agent might see Available on the widget but be in Away on the Dashboard
- Merging contact information should be a thing so we don't have numerous duplicate contacts listed
- Reports should also be visual. For example, if I could have a visual representation of an agent's status throughout their shift, that would be amazing
However, Talkdesk is difficult to use if the reliability of your teammates is questionably because there have been so. many. times. when the software legitimately failed, preventing agents from completing their work
- Call Recording
- Phone Calls Data Export
- Agent Status Detail Export
- Filters when exporting data
- Dashboards seem to be useful but most people never really use them
- Support page is ok, but takes time to find out what TD can or can't do
Best in class product with a robust API.
- Expansive Feature Set.
- Strong Customer support.
- Intuitive UI.
- Getting all non-core products to best-in-class status, e.g. website chat.
- Better processes for escalating time-sensitive, high-urgency support tickets.
Talking Talkdesk

Flexible tool for great customer service
- Call routing by allowing to create the ring groups needed
- IVR flow design for its flexibility and allowing us to explore some self-service components
- salesforce integration
- reporting component. It's hard to quickly understand the reported design and also some metrics
- Biling support always takes too much time to reply
- whenever you identify a missign feature the only solution is to publish it on the Talkdesk community and hope it gets enough votes to be noticed
TalkDesk is all rounder for a calling solution for us

- Call quality
- Admin panel functionality
- Workflows can be more simple
- Price point can be more affordable
Our team also likes the app from TD. very responsive and easy to use with the most functionality.
No landline No problem! Talk from your desk!
This system does allow us to monitor our calls, keep track of what issues the callers are reporting, and a great metrics reporting tool.
The only downside at times is that Talkdesk can be closed too easily, meaning if you accidently hit the X button in the corner it shuts you down instead of in settings the option (hitting close minimizes your screen and runs in the background) or (yes close the application)
The system has progressed so much since we first started using it, and each update has made it better.
I do wish the Mobile option was a tier one option, feels silly their app is only accessible if you pay for the higher tiers. (even if only for Supervisors and Leads)
- Metrics
- Call recordings
- Organizing types of calls
- Time keeping for logged in users
- Status keeping
- Recording locations
- How often there are outages for calls
- Desktop app having issues logging out at the end of day
- Mobile access for all tiers
Excellent Usability, Performance and Reporting
- Reporting
- User friendly
- Live monitoring
- Reliability - usually related to the live dashboard, but sometimes with calls dropping too
- More knowledge articles to allow managers to make changes and updates on their own
Talkdesk is very easy to use and helps me do my job better
- linking with the Salesforce account
- ease of use
- transferring calls
- Sometime the calls will go silent and now allow us to hang up
- Sometimes there is an echo
- a better sounding voicemail like we are not a robot.
Talkdesk helps with overall productivity and agent efficiency
- efficiency with dialing
- call logging
- data analytics of productivity metrics
- Connectivity issues

Excellent product for a remote workforce.
- Allows call agents to work from any location and be reached.
- Allows employees to talk immediately, leave a message, or request a call back.
- Provides up to date analytics
- Lately there are interruptions in service
- More instructions on available analytics would be good.
Talkdesk experience.

- Live agents status.
- There is no way to see emails on queue.

TD Review.
