Talkdesk Reviews

Pros

To function properly , Talkdesk needs access to a stable internet connection; when agents do, the app has shown to be dependable. It's easy to use and fits perfectly with Salesforce's current workflow thanks to the buttons. There have been a few hiccups with the integration, but they were all rather easy to fix. I give the registrar a perfect score of 10 since it is the most user-friendly and representative example of its sort that I have seen. The contact center's necessary tab for updates is nothing special, though. It's not well defined, the agents don't seem to care about the voicemail part, and it may be the best option.

Cons

When an adviser receives an error response in a video conversation, the reason the number was ineffective may not be immediately apparent. Even while the number of tales has expanded, the capacity to produce stories by telephone is sluggish, clunky, and complicated. In order to view voicemails and missed calls, the identification needs an accessible tab. Although I understand that the minimalistic nature of a GPS display was intentional, having this information shown would be quite helpful.

Pros

The most I liked about Talkdesk is the fact that it is an easy and very user friendly tool.

Cons

As I was the end user of this tool, I have nothing to point out

Pros

Nice app, nice design, easy to use, good quality of sound.

Cons

Support and Billing needs to much time to reply. The billing system is not transparent at all. You cannot see the cost of each call in your dashboard. You never know when you will be overcharged. Nobody cares about you after you have signed the contract. They are interested only in your money.

Pros

I love that it's easy to use and the UI it great to navigate.

Cons

There's many service interruptions, when calling is a big part of sales you don't want that.

Pros

Talkdesk is innovative and efficient for taking calls within my company. One of my favorite features is the AI automation. At the end of each call there is a summary of what was discussed. This can be easily copy and paste onto the customers profile. This has decreased the number of product disputes and complaints.

Cons

Every so often there is an update and sometimes after an update the microphone or ringing feature may be muted, but this is an easy fix.

Pros

App deployment was very easy and support was very fast and helpful when needed help. All my colleague learned fast to use the system due its intuitive build.

Cons

No mentionable cons for Talkdesk, everything i use it for works great.

Pros

It is very easy to use and didn't require much training at all

Cons

Theres times where it just spins and i have to restart it

Pros

I like TALKDESK because of it’s intuitive interface and use-friendly design. Which makes it more easy to navigate and good for new users. For me, it’s the capacity to sync with Marketing automation, in which our purchaser data is kept which saves me a considerable amount of time because I no longer have had to open different platforms separately.

Cons

The fact that the TalkDesk messaging interface still has a few flaws which hinder productivity concerns me. Moreover, having an automatic refresh method would be helpful rather than constantly having to manually reload the login page after accessing Callbar and logging in by clicking the Talkdesk logo above each screen tab.

Pros

Talkdesk serves as a user-friendly call center application that encompasses all the essential features for effective customer service management. Its automatic call distributor facilitates swift connections between users and agents. Furthermore, seamless integration with Zendesk enables the efficient handling of digital support tickets, with a straightforward implementation process.

Cons

There was no least feature, everything has been helpful so far since u started using it.

Pros

Streamline and speed up the difficulties of your usual procedure without affecting your intentions. If you wish, you may use its display mode or position it where you want it on the screen. Reduces the fatigue of switching seamlessly between major workspace tasks, such as email and chat, while maintaining openness with your group about food, meetings and time arrangements.

Cons

When you log out, if you do not update your status to Offline, it will remain operative until the next time you log in. A note about your inability to customize the options available, it would be beneficial to have the ability to customize the option you have as an appointment or a staff. A major weakness I have been experiencing so far is that it sometimes fails; such as not being ready for calls when it is clearly impossible or not being able to accept calls from another.

Pros

Very intuitive dialler. This is the first VOIP dialler that I used working for a business. I have used other systems since and this one seems to be the most stable for doing it's core function - facilitating inbound/outbound calls. Cannot remember having any connection issues. It was simple to learn and easy to use.

Cons

I found the dialler to be a bit restrictive. We weren't able to integrate it with other systems as much as we would have liked to.

Pros

It had an intuitive interface that made it easy to set up and manage my customer interactions. Flexible customization options, advanced analytics and reporting, and integrations with other business tools.

Cons

The user interface isn't as user-friendly as some of the other solutions, and it can be a bit confusing and complicated to use.

Pros

It's very easy to use, since it's simple, but quite complete.It's very flexible and the report features are very complete, allowing us to have a wide and clear vision of our performance.

Cons

Since it doesn't have the "search" option, we need to go over all chats to find the client we need. It's not very intuitive.

Pros

A great software program allowing me to focus the entire reporting aspect of the platform. Quality management and workforce. Real time reporting analytics and live support. A great software product and quality usage for all business purposes.

Cons

Nothing everything is well organized and quality software product. Had no concerns about usage of product and easy to use.

Pros

From user perspective, it's simple yet effective tool. Quality is great and all the calls are stored. Recording's never have any issues and the call quality is pretty good. From an administrator perspective, creating dashboards is a great feature to get an overall view. Coaching is also an amazing tool, allowing you to guide the agent through difficult cases.

Cons

Lack of search function for the calls is one of the biggest pain points. You need to go through all the chats and find the one you are looking for, Instead of just having a search bar that would allow you to search calls to specific number. Other thing could be the issue with some providers, causing trouble to make calls,

Pros

We were looking for a CCAAS partner that would seamlessly integrate with Zendesk. We needed to have a full integration that allowed screen pops for agents to document tickets.

Cons

In order to capitalize on reporting, you really need to have a serious excel background but once you have the data where it needs to be, the reporting is very powerful.

Pros

Integration is a breeze, My team and I never encountered any issues with the integration and the information of any of our call logs getting lost/missing

Cons

Callbar integration would sometimes disconnect fail, there are times where the information takes minutes to get transferred to Salesforce which is detrimental to fast customer interaction

Pros

Talkdesk is a very easy and intuitive product to figure out, both on the front and back end. If you come across any issues, their support team is always quick and thorough with their responses.

Cons

One of my biggest obstacles with TalkDesk is the reporting functionality. While I feel the front end is great, the back end reporting is sort of all over the place. Many of the reports need to be sent, rather than viewed in the browser. If they made the reporting as intuitive as the call interface, this product would be stellar!

Pros

I like that as a supervisor I have a lot of visibility and detailed data about my agents performance. As such, I can offer personalized help to each of my agents in regards to their perfomance data shown on the Talkdesk software. It has helped me become a better manager and my employees become more performant. Additionnally, Talkdesk offers a lot of features in order for you to personalize your Talkdesk as per your needs. You can manipulate the lines and many other things in order to properly set the workflow.

Cons

I don't have many cons about this software. I do see some newer agents struggling with the user friendliness of it all. However, you learn pretty quickly to manipulate it.

Pros

We use Talkdesk with our multiple salesforce instances. TD makes integration between the two systems, and management of the integration very easy. Click to Dial has become heavily relied on to provide relative metrics behind our outreach, I don't believe we could've come as far as we have without Talkdesk.

Cons

There are still some feature I would like to see enhanced in order for the tool to provide further insight. Reporting could use for enhancements to provide between usability. Secondly, I would to see improvements around the ability to distinguish between multiple records which may have the same name.

Pros

One big perk of talkdesk is you can seamlessly do international calls. I also like how the calls are recorded, so you can go back and listen if need be, which is great for training or if you need a refresher on a previous conversation. It is also very easy to forward calls or do a phone conference as well.

Cons

When it's working properly it is great, but sometimes it will go offline just on it's own and I don't know why? So I've had a few times where clients try to call me but talkdesk on its own went offline without notifiying me and I missed the calls.

Pros

As an Admin of this software, I really like the management system of Agents being added to the system. It's easy to manage them and the fields used are easy to understand. The search feature is really good making us Admins do our task to update a certain account easily.

Cons

What I don't like here only is the telephony system integrated on the tool itself. Sometimes, it causes an issue due but this due to a browser update. Good thing that they have an App that we can install to avoid these issues.

Pros

There was a time when most tools like this were aggravating in so many ways from set up to lack of meaningful reporting. Talkdesk is the opposite. They focus on the core value their product provides (an easy to implement, scalable contact center solution) and and make it better constantly. This isn't a company that makes pointless cosmetic changes to their interface to make their UI/UX people feel valued. Instead, the keep improving what a call center manager needs: swift integration, customization options that don't take a programmer to set up, and solid reporting options. Keep up the great work, Talkdesk!

Cons

Although they offer a bevy of integrations with other tools there is not a lot of guidance when things get complicated. However, their knowledge base is quite extensive and the articles, unlike many "help" centers, are not 3,000 years old. Their customer support team is also top-notch and can handle most questions.

Pros

1. A wide array of out of the box integrations with other widely used platforms
2. Great customer success management
3. An innovative team that is eager to add platform capabilities but consider tackling in new, potentially more effective ways than what currently exists.
4. Lots of opportunities to share feedback and participate in new beta offerings
5. Good value for the price per seat
6. Effective as a cross-company phone solution, both for call center and non call center staff

Cons

1. An API to an API. Because Talkdesk is built on top of twilio and other telephony providers, the API is effectively a bridge to another API which currently limits integration capabilities.
2. Sometimes slow to respond or ineffective technical customer support when troubleshooting integration issues.

Pros

The ease of use and general aesthetics of the software. Everything looks clean and modern. Live dashboards look great, reports look great, the whole UI is beautiful. Generally speaking, it's very simple compared to other more complex legacy phone systems I've used. The process for setting up new agents is intuitive.

Cons

There is a lot to be desired about the flexibility of the reporting functions. For most of my more complex call center metrics, I have to export mass call data Excel then slice and dice from there. They have great basic reports out-of-the-box, but our call center has some nuances that their stock reports don't capture. I wanted to be able to take any field/metric in the system and build a report around it, but that's not possible, at least not yet. They have informed us that they will be rolling out brand new custom reporting features soon, I'm excited about. I only dock them one star for this, however, because the bottom line is that my data is in their system, which integrates with Salesforce. So, even though I can't get my metrics the way I want to from inside Talkdesk, I can still export or run in Salesforce just fine.
