Overall Satisfaction with Talkdesk

Talkdesk is our primary omnichannel product. We have some big customers who utilise this product, and our company provides first line support for any issues that occur. Talkdesk meets the needs of our customers, as it allows AI integration, as well as opening up lots of different types of channels for customers to receive communication from their customers.

Pros

  • AI & Automation capabilities
  • Agent Assist
  • Speech Analytics and sentiment analysis

Cons

  • Usability Challenges - a more intuiative interface would be better.
  • Lack of Bulk SMS capability
  • Case linking for multiple customer interactions
  • Productivity gains
  • Customer satisifaction improvements
  • Performance metrics for benchmarking
  • Enhanced agent experience
I believe the interfaces could be more intuative, as there is a massive learning curve for new customers on the product. The academy is a great tool, but it can be too advanced for some of our customers. If i was to compare Talkdesk with one of its competitors Daktela. In my opinion, the Daktela Omnichannel admin portal is more user friendly both for the customers but also our support team.
  • Talkdesk Workforce Management
  • Talkdesk Agent Assist
  • Talkdesk AI Trainer
The AI products provide so many benefits. It saves a lot of time for call centre agents and also supervisors. This could be by automation of routine tasks, coaching and realtime agent support. It also benefits our agents with calls by allow post call analysis. Helps with assisting customers before it hits support by utilising the predictive customer service feature.
Talkdesk is more expensive per license than Daktela's offering. However there are more advanced AI functions with Talkdesk compared to Daktela. I think Daktela's portal is more user friendly than Talkdesk. However Talkdesk offers an Academy and Ceritfications which Daktela does not provide. Training for Daktela is chargeable and longer. Overall i believe Talkdesk does have the edge in terms of features available, and i am sure there will be more improvements to come in the future.

Would you buy Talkdesk again?

Talkdesk is the premium product in our product portfolio. It is well suited for our enterprise level customers. Who are looking to bring in automation and AI functionality. Which currently the market is limited with solutions. It is less appropriate for our Small to Medium sized customers. Mainly do to pricepoint, and being deemed as overkill for some of our customers.
