Overall Satisfaction with Talkdesk

We use Talkdesk for our customer service team. It allows us our customers to easily and clearly contact us, and allows our agents to answer these calls within Salesforce Service Cloud. In addition, it integrates with our WFM service, gives us Real Time data, and integrates with our data analytics system for historical data.
  • Talkdesk is easy to use! For both your customers and your agents.
  • Talkdesk provides clear and consistent voip calls.
  • Talkdesk has a good real time dashboard to share with your team to show Service Level, calls in queue, etc.
  • Talkdesk had a multitude of integrations to choose from, with crms and other companies.
  • Only offer a 1 year, or longer, contract.
  • Their enterprise pricing is overpriced 'when it's a small value add compared to their professional level.
  • Occasional outages or routing issues. They're down several hours per month.
  • Increased percent of connected calls
  • Cheaper than previous alternatives
Talkdesk is more customizable and all around better than Zendesk voice. For me Zendesk voice is an early choice great for small call centers, but then they need to quickly consider a more robust solution.

Talkdesk is significantly better than Five9. For being called Five9, they are not up 99.999% of the time. We experienced significant downtimes with Five9, had trouble with their lack of UI, and found their technical requirements our of date and limiting.
Talkdesk is a good solution for mid - enterprise level companies. Companies that are ready for a long term commitment and able to negotiate using their company size. From my experience, they're great for customer service and call centers, specifically those using google chrome and who do not have, or are ready to replace, an in house phone system.

What it's not as good for, mainly because of contract length and price, is smaller companies that need to save money and be flexible. Also, although a good cloud solution, they wouldn't be good for the most complicated call centers who need x amount of IVRs and complete customization.
