Overall Satisfaction with Talkdesk

Currently in my department, we strictly use Talkdesk to communicate with NUPD, Students, Faculty, Parents, and Residents of the area. Calls range from temperature, plumbing, electrical, to university emergencies.
This system does allow us to monitor our calls, keep track of what issues the callers are reporting, and a great metrics reporting tool.
The only downside at times is that Talkdesk can be closed too easily, meaning if you accidently hit the X button in the corner it shuts you down instead of in settings the option (hitting close minimizes your screen and runs in the background) or (yes close the application)

The system has progressed so much since we first started using it, and each update has made it better.

I do wish the Mobile option was a tier one option, feels silly their app is only accessible if you pay for the higher tiers. (even if only for Supervisors and Leads)
  • Metrics
  • Call recordings
  • Organizing types of calls
  • Time keeping for logged in users
  • Status keeping
  • Recording locations
  • How often there are outages for calls
  • Desktop app having issues logging out at the end of day
  • Mobile access for all tiers
  • Increased Agent Productivity
  • Increased Call tracking
  • Ability to determine volumes of types of calls
i honestly really like the system, and have been thinking of bringing it up to my family (we own a butcher shop) and call volumes during the holiday's are insane.
I think the usability, once understanding how the system works, is very user friendly. Yes there are still hiccups here and there. but all in all i do like the system.
a week ago the reporting was not working. we sent in a ticket and it felt like 2 min later the issue was resolved.

Do you think Talkdesk delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Talkdesk's feature set?

Yes

Did Talkdesk live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Talkdesk go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Talkdesk again?

Yes

My teams scope of work relies heavily on the functionality of Talkdesk. We are a Customer Service team (call center) 90% of our contact with our customers is via phone. So that being said we rely heavily on TalkDesk working. the times it fails really puts us to a screaming halt... which is very unfortunate. (things happen, we all understand) so we had to find a secondary option to call customers back.
