Overall Satisfaction with Talkdesk

We use Talkdesk as a phone solution for our technical support team. It is only used by our team. We utilize it as a phone queue for customers who call into our support line.
  • The UI is easy on the eyes
  • The caliber is handy and doesn't depend on keeping a browser window open in order to get calls
  • The call flow is easy to configure and training is very straight forward
  • Reporting could be better, as its very basic
  • Setting up a weekend on-call system is quite a challenge with Talkdesk
  • We have issues sometimes where we receive voicemails for missed calls even though 3-4 people were available and no one's line rang
  • It has given us a platform for phone calls, where cases are sometimes solved in the call, increasing productivity, reducing ticket times, and increasing CSAT
It does the job you need it to, but for the cost, [it's] lacking features that some of its competitors offer. We also run into sporadic issues where calls aren't routed correctly.
It was quick to deploy and they were very accommodating. [The] training was straightforward and it doesn't take much to get up and running.
Our implementation went off very well, but other than that, we've never really had to engage support at Talkdesk for anything other than adding new licenses.
We were using RingCentral before making the switch. RingCentral works fine for a call center type of environment but didn't offer much in regards to setting up an actual call flow that would ring the agent who's been available the longest. It was more of a "ring everyone and whoever gets it, gets it" kind of setup.
