Overall Satisfaction with Talkdesk

Talkdesk is currently being used by all of our Customer Support team as the main call queue. Thanks to the ease of access and use, setting up new agents is a breeze and reporting couldn't be more accessible, with both options of their built-in reporting tools, as well as quick access to raw data exports to work with on your own. Even though we sell parking hardware, the main selling point of our product is the software that comes with it, along with our marketed 24/7 live support. This is what makes Talkdesk critical to our operation, as no other service has come close to how effective Talkdesk is at supporting this call queue as quickly and easy. Working with this tool makes life much simpler with how it's built, allowing for easy status changes, management and live call queue monitoring. The other solution Talkdesk allows is for call routing to an on-call person for after hours, as we advertise around the clock support. Allowing a manager to set up in advance who will be the on-call person receiving calls after business hours ahead of time, and have it run on a set schedule. Calls can be forwarded directly to an agent's phone, so even if they are away from their computer, they can still answer any calls we may get.
  • Ease of access in data for reporting outside of their own reporting tools, as this data export allows for easy data processing and reporting updates.
  • User setup and management is a breeze, takes minutes to get a new employee up an running.
  • Quick installation of the Talkdesk call bar is a gift, not having to run through a long installation process saves time when having to set up multiple new users.
  • Modernize the Talkdesk desktop call bar to a more 2021 look.
  • Allow for SQL database connection for automatic data fetching. This would allow our internal reports to update automatically without having to manually pull this data every time reporting needs an update.
  • Customize call ringing sound on the desktop call bar.
  • Saved dozens of man hours in quick setups and easy data exports.
  • Decrease of over 20% in waiting times due to clearer IVR setup and multiple queues.
  • Increase in customer satisfaction thanks to setting up queue-skip for repeat callers.
Super easy installation and navigation through any of its tools. Simple, straightforward and well designed. UI is very intuitive, although the design could be better looking. Usability is top-notch in both the call bar application as well as the website navigation and call queue monitoring. Reporting interface is straightforward and easy to use.
Couldn't have been any better. Migrating our phone numbers to set up the call queue was very simple, as well as the setup for the queue itself. Setting up the IVR and onboarding all agents was done very quickly, and not much time was needed to be spent in any additional setup, everything worked just fine out of the box.
Thankfully in my 3+ years of using this tool I've never had to get in contact with their customer support team. The only time I had to speak with someone at Talkdesk was when initially deciding if this was the correct product for what we were looking to achieve, and they went the extra mile to explain every feature in detail to ensure we know everything before making a decision.

Best suited for small to medium call center operations that allow employees to work in their own computers as well as work equipment. This is due to the nature of the app being installable anywhere. I do not see it well suited for large scale call center workforces that are more tightly monitored, or even handle sensitive data, as this tool can be installed anywhere with ease and each agent has their own access credentials, sensitive information could be easily leaked if it were accessible from a customer during a call. This would likely include call center operations with credit card payments or social security.
