Overall Satisfaction with Talkdesk

Our Guest Experience Department uses Talkdesk to take phone calls for all of our 19 stores throughout the United States. It allows us to have an individual phone line for each location, but route the calls to our Guest Experience team during business hours and back to our local store teams outside of business hours.
  • Integrates well with Salesforce.
  • Allows one to toggle through many phone lines to call out from a specific line.
  • Offers customer service and listens to suggestions about their product.
  • There are occasional (very rare, but still present) downtimes.
  • Sometimes calls come in and display a phone number that isn't the one the guest is calling from.
  • It has definitely helped call quality and therefore revenue.
There are a few minor quality of life improvements I'd make - the ability to integrate with Hubspot, for one
We had a downtime a few days ago that was resolved quickly - and their status update page updated with live information as fixes were being implemented. The downtime didn't last long at all, and they kept us informed.

Using Talkdesk

23 - Sales and customer experience
4 - Our managers are the primary folks who support Talkdesk
  • Contacting guests (outbound)
  • Allowing guests to contact us (inbound)
  • We are able to turn off Talkdesk and have the local stores answer calls instead of having the calls go to the call center
  • integration with Hubspot
I would consider other options, but Talkdesk has been the one with the most features to price
