Used as a softphone and by our merchant care/support teams for supporting our product
  • UI is great
  • Support, also great
  • Users love it; easy to use; simple
  • I think documentation could be better, pointing towards using the desktop app
I believe Talkdesk is best suited for a helpdesk/merchant care type of situation where the different ring groups allow for a seamless experience for both customers and employees

UI and overall product is simple to use and is effective at accomplishing the goals of the company
Talkdesk was transitioning from Callbar to the desktop app and we were not aware of the transition and once on the support call, they very effectively walked us through getting the desktop app deployed through Intune
Not applicable for our organization
We use a combination of Nextiva and Talkdesk. We've found that Nextiva works well for general soft phone usage vs Talkdesk which is best from a support standpoint

Talkdesk is used in some of our other departments. It's easy to use and provides a wide range of useful real-time data. This software provider helps agents who are not as tech-savvy. Personally, I love how Talkdesk allows me to view my other group/team members. I am better able to manage my calls now and the callback feature is great. At first I was worried it may be a bad upgrade but it wasn't, it actually helps me to be more organized and in control of my system.
  • Helps to improve customer satisfaction.
  • Ensures that we aren't losing calls.
  • Great at real time data.
  • Ease and effectiveness of use.
  • I found it really difficult at first to see real-time data re my live contacts.
  • Do more webinars or email correspondence about Talkdesk.
  • So far things are great.
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.

  • Reduced handle times for agents.
  • More audible communication.
  • Manageable queues.
  • Easy to use dashboard and features.
Talkdesk is so easy to use, IT is not needed unless we run into an unknown error and once updated, issue is resolved. The only time that I have an issue with Talkdesk freezing is when a system update is needed and that is temporary. In my 1.5 years, I have not had a serious technical issue with Talkdesk that lasts longer than 2 hours.
I am satisfied with the software. Talkdesk is always upgrading so that users can be more flexible and efficient at what they do
I remember when Is started out with Talkdesk and was required to log all my calls/activities. I was still working my way around the system and procrastinated with my logging, back then I wasnt aware that talkdesk saved all my data/activities. I was extremely relived when I found my contact\s logged under my talkdesk activities

Talkdesk is so effective at real-time data and is hassle-free. It helps Companies and agents alike to reach their goals. It's a great software to use in businesses and large centers worldwide. There are other software out there that performs but Talkdesk is known for their ease and effectiveness.

Training was simple as the app is easy to use. The phone has gone through upgrades since but it's very adaptive and doesn't require a complete session. There are articles available for self help in case something is forgotten. There are a lot of functions to talkdesk and we have not used all of them
I'd day its just right for this type of product.

We use Talkdesk to handle our inbound call volume for our sales team. We also assigned phones for employees outside of the sales team replacing a typical PBX platform
  • Inbound IVR and call flows
  • Ease of set up and configuration
  • Live reporting and dashboards
  • Automated reporting and email distribution
  • Workforce management
  • OmniChannel
  • Client support
  • Currently working on their FedStamp certification, which is a two year process and almost completed
I absolutely would and have recommended Talkdesk to anyone looking for a telephony solution; whether an easy configuration or complicated, Talkdesk and its robust features are the answer. Remote and on-site workers for inbound calls, as well as, outbound dialing. A plethora of options for integration that are standard.

  • 74% increase in revenue in the past two years with a less than 10% growth prior to implementation in the previous 10 years
  • 33% decrease in customer escalations
  • Reduction of Average Handle Time by 22%
  • Staffing ability with remote workers
In our company, our profit margin is less than 8%. We can’t afford to spend a dollar without a positive ROI. Talkdesk has been the best ROI over the past two years since we implemented it.
We implemented from “hello” to “you are live” in less than a week.
There have been two instances, one at night and one on the weekends, that I had an issue (not software) and received advice within hours. Unheard of!

We chose Talkdesk for all the reasons noted in this review.

No required skills. Between the easy to use support features within Talkdesk, the live chat, the email support and the knowledge manager, it is as simple as reading.
  • Visibility into the number of calls received and the number of the caller
  • Full call recording and analytical scripting
  • Omnichannel with track back to marketing campaigns
  • Integration with our Dynamics CRM
  • We have created "callflows" and mini IVR's for the individual voicemails which has allowed every customer to choose if they want a "live" person or not
  • Talkdesk allows us to easily integrate into many systems, including Pipes.AI, which allows us to leverage our Lead To Call automation platform.
  • The uses of Talkdesk and their features are limited to the imagination and we are just getting started.
  • We are expecting Talkdesk to our two addtional business units
We are building our processes within Talkdesk and we have ZERO intention of looking elsewhere.
No
  • Price
  • Product Usability
Easy to use and launch as we were under a very tight deadline with no existing contact center platform in place.
Not sure I would or could. Regardless, the result would not have changed, especially in light of all the additional features and benefits that have been launched within Talkdesk.
  • Implemented in-house
  • Third-party professional services
No
Change management was minimal
change management was not a concern at implementation, however, as we continued to roll out new tools throughout the organization, it became more apparent that "education on why" we were doing certain things surrounding full call recordings, analytical software, and tracking items never tracked before was needed.

Which we did and we truly have changed the organization approach to dealing with internal/external customers, for the better.
  • We imposted on ourselves a very tight schedule which Talkdesk met
  • Online training
Easy to use, digestable bits of information
So many integrations available. Not complex, at all.
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
No - we have not done any custom code
Integration and not customization,as there was absolutely no need.
The support is tremendous. Between chat, email, knowledge base, my cusotmer success manager or the account executive, there has never been a time when I said that I needed or wanted more support AND I am a demanding client.
Although we are a 24/7 shop, our activity during the "overnight" shift is minimal and the reliability and sustainabilty of Talkdesk has not warranted premium support at this time, as well as, the support I get is AMAZING!

The mobile interface works great.

It is reliant on the internet, therefore, the interface can be "choppy" where internet signal is weak, which happens infreguently, however, does happen as it does for our other web based interfaces
We have grown from 5 licenses to over 100 in two years, on our way to 200 this year
In the past two years, the only down time was a fiber cut, that I believe impacted half of the United States. No Talkdesk downtime
We have never had a Talkdesk performance issue.

As long as you follow the system requirements, which are MINIMAL, neither will you.
Talkdesk is very transparent and candid, no "games" being played
Yes
No downtime and no unexpected impacts

SMOOTH!
