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 Most other providers are outdated or force inelegant solutions upon legacy systems to compete.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.

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 like it.2017-09-01T20:51:28.465ZWe use Talkdesk for our support team to answer calls in a queue format and for our individual team members to make calls both domestically and internationally. Additionally one of the big reasons we went to an online phone was to literally throw away our old phones and do everything online.,The queue format is great - it shows us up to the minute stats on who is waiting to be picked up
We use it internationally which has been a game changer - both for the ease of calling internationally and having our international support team be able to seamlessly talk to customers.,I often have to re-start my browser to be able to be heard.
We do have some dropped calls and I imagine it's due to our wifi but it's frustrating for our support team nonetheless.,8,We were able to sell our physical phones which was great
