I really like being able to conference calls when I have a customer online and they need to talk to the tech, although it would be much better if both sides of the conversation can be recorded. It also saves time when I have a customer call in and they are able to put in their account number. Unfortunately, only the first three digits show of a six digit account so we still have to ask the customer for their #.

Talkdesk provided an overall more stable and flexible platform as compared to the previous product that we were using. Administering Talkdesk Studio & the integration with our CRM can take some more significant technical skills, so be prepared to work with your TAM at Talkdesk or leverage your internal technical team to achieve some of the more complex asks. If you're looking for a simple, hands-off tool and are already working within Zendesk or Salesforce for your CRM, you'll be in good shape. Our team tends to have a large number of specific requests that take some technical know-how, so there is a bit of a learning curve for the more difficult pieces. Overall, Talkdesk's onboarding and certifications are excellent, so getting used to the platform basics is very easy!

Talkdesk is best suited for calls if internet speed fluctuates, and the voice clarity is good even with the speed of 2 MBPS. No issues have been identified yet in 2 years; however, there should be an option for internal call transfers.

Talkdesk works seamlessly for our central London-based team, remote workers, and third-party partners for call handling/transfers/standardized messaging/re-routing. The user interface is pretty straightforward and intuitive allowing fast deployment/testing of call handling workflows. Good dashboard and reporting capability allowing the team to track total inbound/outbound calls and re-directs. Lots of potential integration capability (Salesforce, etc.) which my organization is currently testing.

Currently, my company handles inbound calls and has proven to be very useful. We also do callbacks and it has also been great for this purpose. I believe once you are a contact center, Talkdesk will be a great asset. It works as a communication medium and as an evaluation medium. Very great tool.

Talkdesk is great to use for a customer service job or somewhere where you need to call a lot, and especially in different countries. It is user-friendly and you don't need to spend so much time to understand how it works. It is not really needed in jobs where you do not have to call a lot.

Talkdesk is appropriate for customer service outbound and inbound, as it is also for sales. I work in an online school as support. However, I imagine it would not be a complete enough tool for e-learning with a teacher or for conferences (for that, there are other tools).

We are a smaller group and it has worked great for us. The only issue I see is with transferring calls between departments and the ability to report on the calls: number taken, etc. If this worked better for us, this system would be just about perfect.

Talkdesk is very well suited for teams that are working from home. It is easier to log in wherever you are, still be reached by your customers, and have your colleagues available for consultation or blind transfers in one click. It is also well suited for companies that have clients who speak different languages. Using the call flow, we are able to direct calls in specific languages to the agents that are fluent in it, saving us a lot of time with unnecessary consultations or blind transfers.

It is very easy to use, you basically don't need training on it. Everything is pretty self-explanatory and you can get it up and running in less than 20 minutes. I really like that you can customize your "Dashboard" so that you can see different queues and information from those different queues. However, the only thing that I would add is the live reporting on the mobile app.

This software is well suited in call centers. Talkdesk helps us to keep track of our communications and contacts. When I use Talkdesk, it's easy to log my calls as I can always go back to the information. I am confident because the system is easy to use and I now even show new hires how to use the features.

I'm able to constantly monitor service level, agent status, and more. Talkdesk allows me to use one number of externally for customers, and another number internally. It works well for the Dispatch Department. They regularly have to switch between speaking with drivers, customers, and vendors. Talkdesk allows an easy and seamless experience when making outgoing calls.

Talkdesk is well supported as a tool to visual your teams attendance for both online + offline activities. This helps myself as a manageer ask the question 'what is everybody working on?" Talkdesk is a strong tool to manage online customer requests (phone orders, escalations, etc) Talkdesk is less appropriate as a tool to manage Why customers are contacting you (CX Topic Data).

Talkdesk is everything in my work environment; we technically use Talkdesk to support and help answer our customer's questions and queries; we are also able to help our colleagues within the Talkdesk, especially the list of recorded calls and information was a great set up, so I can review it after every transaction.

Talkdesk is generally great for managing our inbound call volume. We are able to have thorough visibility on agent availability and determine the degree to which we are making use of our resources. Agents are less empowered to be able to monitor there individual performance via a dashboard, as programmed by an admin out of the box. We have also had difficulties identifying occasional issues with the Salesforce integration.

Amazing support from all staff, always friendly and helpful, dedicated and efficient. The tool itself, and the service, are great! Seriously, the data you allow us to store is absolute gold, a key factor which is precious for decision-making when the time comes to (re)evaluate staff levels vs workload

Better suited: Callcenters for customer service, tech support and general service. Sales and outbound calls that require to keep track of the call and records of contacts. General day to day office dutties that have to do with calling and receiving calls from different departments without having to rely on a physical phone. Not suitable: Maybe dispatch and emergency services that require more robust equipment.

Great for call centers where customers are in queue waiting to be answered. Not so great for users who need one on one interaction directly with certain customers, sometimes the menus end up being too complicated for customers to follow and reach the correct person

Routing: If your business has different departments that needs separate routing, Talkdesk allows for this.
Reporting: If your agents do offline work, in addition to phone work, Talkdesk allows you to create offline states so you can track all production time.
Reporting: If your call volume is sporadic, reporting allows you to understand volume trends.

For the work we do, Talkdesk allows me to barge in calls for agents to help in those high-stress moments, and I am to whisper to my agent to talk them through calls so that they are not flustered and help create ease. Having that ability cuts down stressful moments.
