Overall Satisfaction with Talkdesk

Talkdesk is currently utilized by our support organization as a call center option. The goal of TalkDesk was to improve our support's ability to understand calls currently waiting to be answered, where they are waiting to be answered, and create efficient routing methods. The problem we have experienced with TalkDesk is the call flow is a little confusing and requires you to become your own expert with the product. The support will join and help, but it takes days to get the right people involved. In addition, the reporting is consistently clunky and does not always represent what we are looking for.
  • The GUI looks nice
  • Represents real time data well
  • Talkdesk has significant improvement opportunities around the reporting concepts
  • Talkdesk has significant improvement opportunities around complex troubleshooting promptly being available to assist
  • Talkdesk has significant improvement opportunities around better call flow design concepts
  • We have not seen a significant grow / improvement from TalkDesk
  • There is currently a negative impact against callers when we use the dial back feature
It's easy to use, but the product falls flat from a reporting and management perspective.
The Implementation team that helped us from TalkDesk did fantastically. Their developers and flow designers listened and helped troubleshoot any issues. I was very impressed with the great job they did during the implementation phase of the product.
I was having an issue with adjusting the way our data dipped into Salesforce pulled data and routed calls. After getting the second-level support, we initially thought we had resolved the issue. Quickly after hanging up I discovered that was not the case, and emailed the support agent back. The agent responded immediately, created a new support link, and helped investigate the issue. Once you get to the more senior support agents, they are fantastic.

No

Yes

Would you buy Talkdesk again?

No

While I feel TalkDesk would be great for an entry-level IT shop, it lacks complex tree and flow designs. [I feel like] the ability to understand a call flow from start to finish on a graph is not logical. The call flow design does not allow you to copy and paste components. You are required to build everything as individual components which is frustrating if you want to mirror concepts but with a VIP route, as an example.
