We had to replace a Google Voice with a competitor with a real CCaas provider. Talkdesk was far and away the best value on the market. Most other providers are outdated or force inelegant solutions upon legacy systems to compete. We have had a 100% adoption rate. It has been 4 years since we first partnered with Talkdesk. We almost never have an issue. When we do, Talkdesk pushes us notifications and constant updates until the issues are resolved. Thousands of interactions are beautifully handled by our team because of Talkdesk. Management loves that they can see, hear, and replay anything.,Value: the feature list is so long that you won't find it other places. Competitors cherry-pick in those side by side comparisons on other review sites so be careful.
Reporting: the reporting is simply outstanding. It works without having to manipulate data first. Huge time savings for management.

The most important part that we use it for is our customer service rep department and our supplier enablement department. These departments field calls from our customers to help walk them through our software, so it is extremely important that communication is very clear and that the platform is easy to use for a large number of people. The rest of the business uses it as their regular business phone. Even though they aren't on a queue they do still need to have a reliable phone that's easy and straightforward to use to get to the people they need to talk to.,Easy to manage. Talkdesk is a purely Saas solution, which makes it so we don't have to manage any physical hardware anywhere except headsets.
Easy to deploy. Talkdesk turned a task that used to take days with a 3rd-party support company with our previous phones into a 30-second process that we can teach anyone to do.
Easy to tie to other software. We combined TTalkdesk with Salesforce to gather analytics and make calling from SFDC easier.,Password resets. This still isn't managed internally, and you have to reach out to their support team to reset anyone's passwords.

We use it to reach costumers and e-learners all over the world, advising and giving the necessary support on behalf of our product. It's the most important software that we use in outbound campaigns, as it is easy to use and can be linked to other software.,It's easy to use. You just click on the number and it's already calling the costumer.
It's light and most of the time fast, so you can manage to reach a high number of costumers during the day.
It can be linked to other software, such as Salesforce, which makes things a lot easier from an organization point of view.,We had problems reaching some countries, like Bosnia and African countries, and had to ask for support.

It can be annoying for us and for the customer too.,9,It improved how we reach our customers, and allowed us to have successful outbound campaigns.,10,9,,Salesforce Analytics Cloud, Microsoft 365 BusinessThiago LealTalkdesk - the call solution2019-08-01T23:09:21.930ZWe have been using Talkdesk for almost a year now. It is used within the event sales team as we have struggled to find a system that works efficiently to make and receive calls at any location - until now!
It works so well and customers receive a call centre experience no matter where our staff are working. Calls are logged automatically, calls are easy to transfer and cases auto populate with the correct and necessary details which results in fast and efficient customer response and analysis. The Talkdesk dashboard is really useful when managing our agents and monitoring call stats.

Agents are confident to make more outbound sales chases which improves their targets,BookerLianne WoodwardTalkdesk2019-08-01T23:03:55.958ZI like Talkdesk for its ability to track and record calls. I am not sure if it is my network or Talkdesk specifically, but I am frequently having to close out of it and open it back up for it to work properly. I have talked to others on my team and some have experienced the same thing while others have had no problems with that. I also find it difficult to transfer to someone else; if there are calls in the queue, they have no opportunity to set themselves to "available for transfer" before the next call is routed to them. I think it is capable of doing what we need it to do... it's just a learning process and a matter of getting things customized.We are now able to see what is driving the volume of our calls by selecting a disposition. Gives us immediate access to recorded calls. It writes back to our ticket system.,Records calls and you have immediate access to them
Integrated with Zendesk
Gives you the ability to select a disposition (purpose of the call),Difficult to transfer to someone else and do follow up work

Saves time by creating tickets automatically,,GainsightSarah YearginSimple and easy to use!2019-08-01T22:45:05.405ZTalkdesk is being used by our customer support department and has been a huge benefit when working with our customers. Not only does it easily allow our agents to field calls with customers, but it also allows us integrate with other third party programs, like our ticketing system, to make keeping track of notes and what occurred on calls much easier.,Third party integration is my favorite feature of talks desk, as it makes tasks much easier to accomplish when you don't have to move through several different app and/or web pages.
Their software application is intuitive and user friendly; it's not overly complicated and is easy to pick up with only minor computer skills
Call logging is simple, yet effective, as talkdesk lets you easily track down call notes (we use this feature specifically with our third party integration with Zendesk).,Audio input/output does not seem to save your selections once you close the application, forcing you to set those each time you log in.
Different color schemes would be nice to have, as we work in a darker area of our building and a dark mode would be very appreciated.
While Talkdesk does integrate with third party applications, it doesn't always transition notes well from the call log, to Zendesk, forcing us to have to type out the notes a second time.,9,Has allowed our support staff to more easily keep track of calls and notes
Has been easier to train new agents on the talkdesk system
Integration support has been helpful with our ticketing system,NICE inContact CXone,Zendesk, Slack, BeyondTrust Remote Support (formerly Bomgar Remote Support)Ryker WattsWorks wonders for our teams!2019-07-30T16:19:15.216ZTalkdesk is currently used by three of our Client Services departments, which mainly encompasses our Support Team, Strategic Account Managers and Digital Marketing Specialists. We initially implemented Talkdesk because of its ease of use, reliability, and reporting. The ring group structure also supported our current workflows which made the transition smooth and seamless.,Reliability. Rarely do we encounter outages or issues that affect all three of our departments.
Easy to use. From a user and admin perspective, the system is easy to use which helps prevent hiccups in the client experience.
Reporting. The built-in reporting provided gives us insight into individual and team performance, which helps us keep employees more accountable.,There are only two levels to the dispositions, which is how we categorize phone calls. Our cases are categorized using 3 levels, so additional options here would be great.
We've run into some challenges with having an agent logged into more than one rotation, but receiving calls equally. I'm not sure if Talkdesk is able to support this concept.,10,It's allowed us to maintain a service level of above 90% most months since last year.
We've been able to successfully train others on the team using their call monitoring options which has been immensely helpful for new hires.Mim HaversGame changer!2019-07-30T16:13:49.737ZWe use Talkdesk for Customer Service and Sales departments.
