Overall Satisfaction with Talkdesk

Used as a softphone and by our merchant care/support teams for supporting our product

Pros

  • UI is great
  • Support, also great
  • Users love it; easy to use; simple

Cons

  • I think documentation could be better, pointing towards using the desktop app
  • increased agent productivity
  • increased customer retention rates
UI and overall product is simple to use and is effective at accomplishing the goals of the company
Talkdesk was transitioning from Callbar to the desktop app and we were not aware of the transition and once on the support call, they very effectively walked us through getting the desktop app deployed through Intune
Not applicable for our organization
We use a combination of Nextiva and Talkdesk. We've found that Nextiva works well for general soft phone usage vs Talkdesk which is best from a support standpoint

Using Talkdesk

56 - Merchant care/Merchant Success/Implementation teams
4 - General IT staff to provide and deprovision different accesses
  • Support for our product
  • Use as a soft phone
  • Inbound sales representatives
  • Inbound sales
  • Soft phone usage
  • Not sure at this time
As I understand it, the price is continuing to climb so we may be forced to use another software

Evaluating Talkdesk and Competitors

  • Cloud Solutions
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
I believe that the single most important factor in the decision to choose TalkDesk was the price along with the ability to have it meet our business needs
I think we would be more diligent in our contract negotiations to ensure that the price hikes wouldn't be as steep

Talkdesk Implementation

  • Implemented in-house
  • No major issues encountered during implementation

Talkdesk Training

  • No Training
Yes, Talkdesk is fairly easy to use without training
