Overall Satisfaction with Talkdesk

We use Talkdesk to answer customer calls and review our interactions with them

Customers call us on the phone for technical support and accounting assistance
I also use Talkdesk to monitor the status of my team and review their customer interactions
I also use Talkdesk to create reporting on my team's performance (Average Talk Time, Available Time, etc)
  • Talkdesk stores information about interactions well so I can quickly locate and review calls
  • Talkdesk allows all users to review calls relatively easily
  • Talkdesk has a handy phone book option so I don't have to memorize phone numbers
  • Talkdesk statuses are not always reliable. An agent might see Available on the widget but be in Away on the Dashboard
  • Merging contact information should be a thing so we don't have numerous duplicate contacts listed
  • Reports should also be visual. For example, if I could have a visual representation of an agent's status throughout their shift, that would be amazing
  • We don't collect CSAT or NPS so this is NA
  • Talkdesk has made it easier to work remotely because TD in general is easy to setup and use
  • So far I haven't seen any major improvements since implementing the software
Talkdesk is usable but it could use a few tweaks to make it more convenient

For instance, when reviewing calls, the call slider is so small and imprecise. You can try to drag the cursor, but you might miss the important parts of the call you're reviewing altogether, defeating the purpose of using that function
Nope. Most issues I report and cross my fingers something will happen because, to this day, I have never received personal information from callers

I have not yet had an exceptional support experience for this product. Come to think of it, I haven't had a regular customer satisfaction experience for quite some time now
Verint has WAY better visual representation of real-time and historical activity. Managing real-time queue adjustments is also much simpler in Verint I really liked being able to see my agents' phone activity in real-time and also historically. This really helps when attempting to calculate productivity for the day so I wish there were a view for this in TalkDesk

Do you think Talkdesk delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Talkdesk's feature set?

No

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?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Talkdesk again?

No

Talkdesk is great if you need to get a call center operation off the ground and start taking calls and reviewing them

However, Talkdesk is difficult to use if the reliability of your teammates is questionably because there have been so. many. times. when the software legitimately failed, preventing agents from completing their work
