Overall Satisfaction with Talkdesk
We 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.
- We were able to sell our physical phones which was great
- We had to hard-wire some computers to the internet to make it work successfully
- gmail and Slack
We thought to use just google mail or calls via Slack but Talkdesk was the best choice for the queue which was our biggest need - it is a great tool for sharing data and seeing call history. We really needed to bring our support team to scale and couldn't have done it without TalkDesk.
Talkdesk Feature Ratings
Using Talkdesk
70 - Mostly the support team and the outbound sales team.
5 - We have our support team managers and our IT manager.
- Support Queue is the #1
- Outbound calls for other staff members
- Remote work for our support team.
- We are definitely able to scale our phone support - and we can do things like turn the phones off during a team meeting with a custom message that we'll be back which is nice, it's always hard for the whole support team to get together!
- I don't think we use it on cell phones yet but I bet that would be cool!
Evaluating Talkdesk and Competitors
Yes - It replaced a really old hard line phone system
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
- Analyst Reports
Most importantly we needed something that we could make work with the way we already did our queue.
I definitely don't remember going to a ton of options - but I do like where we ended up!
Talkdesk Implementation

Yes - We started with a the support team and then went to the rest of the team.
