Alternatives Considered

Myphoner is similar to Talkdesk. My personal opinion is that Talkdesk is a little over priced and Myphoner is able to do the same and more for a fraction of the price. That being said, Talkdesk is a little more reliable in some cases so a small percentage of my team has continued to use Talkdesk.

Support Rating

Talkdesk needs a dedicated customer support manager for each client. I don't feel that Talkdesk truly understands its customers fully. They are quick to get back to you if you have an issue however, typically they are not able to identify issues but they seem to work out the kinks eventually.

Usability

Easy to use and setup.

Likelihood to Recommend

Talkdesk is well suited for companies looking to grow their sales. It is very useful for companies that have remote workers in other countries. It allows your staff to work and make calls no matter where they are located in the world. As long as you have a steady internet connection you are good to go.
