Allows us to leverage metrics and analyze long calls using additional add-ons

  • July 15, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I was supervising a team, and we handled all our phone calls and the necessary metrics from those calls. We were using TalkDesk to gather that information.

What is most valuable?

With TalkDesk, you can use add-ons, like extensions, from another application. TalkDesk allowed us to leverage metrics and analyze long calls using additional add-ons. I remember using Observe.AI, which was a game-changer for our project involving governmental information.

We needed to ensure compliance with specific regulations, which agents could mention at any point during a call. These calls often lasted around thirty minutes, making it extremely time-consuming to verify compliance manually. Observe.AI, with its artificial intelligence capabilities, could analyze the calls and confirm if the necessary information was mentioned, saving us a tremendous amount of time and effort.

I have used TalkDesk for standard metrics and reports, such as tracking call activity and performance. 

What needs improvement?

While using TalkDesk, I noticed that sometimes the default color scheme, especially in night mode, wasn't suitable for elderly users. It was too bright and not user-friendly. We switched it to night mode, which helped. 

We never experienced issues like the application not loading, failing to make calls, or crashing.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using TalkDesk for two years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We were about 25-30 people. We never had any issues related to TalkDesk.

How are customer service and support?

Compared to other technical services, its support is excellent. The response, how they address the issue, and their politeness stand out. They are very professional compared to other companies you call. With TalkDesk, they always know what to do because their program rarely has issues.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

I have used TalkDesk with different companies, and its ease of use depends on the company's setup. In one instance, we needed a key to send to someone, who then sent an email back, allowing us to configure the account to make calls. 

As a supervisor, I received one email with all the necessary configurations and a second email with a link granting supervisor permissions.

What other advice do I have?

It's not complicated to understand. Even those with a basic understanding quickly grasped it. It's very user-friendly.

If they want an application for making calls and analyzing the information gathered from those calls or metrics, TalkDesk would be a great tool. If you have already implemented AI analysis, then the potential is limitless. The AI capabilities for analyzing and referencing calls are amazing.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Efficient tool for modernizing communication systems with good technical support services

  • July 12, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use TalkDesk for contact center purposes. Our call agents utilize it for call routing and WebRTC calls.

How has it helped my organization?

The platform has improved our organization by enhancing the efficiency of our contact center operations. The business team's feedback indicates that customer satisfaction has improved, and the customer journey lifecycle has seen positive impacts.

What is most valuable?

The product's most valuable features are the campaigns and call routing. The ability to define call attributes and route calls accordingly, along with the integration with Salesforce, ensures that customers can talk to the same agent familiar with their account, greatly enhancing customer service.

What needs improvement?

One area of improvement is the customization options for cloud storage.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using TalkDesk for almost two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable. However, we faced issues with a carrier partnered with TalkDesk, which affected our trunk line. This was resolved in a few hours and was not due to the platform directly.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

The technical support services are excellent. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated other options, including vendors like Twilio and Cisco, before selecting TalkDesk.

What other advice do I have?

TalkDesk is a robust and efficient tool for modernizing communication systems. It has a slight learning curve for administrators but offers significant benefits regarding flexibility and integration capabilities.

I rate it an eight.

Has efficient call routing feature and is useful to make and receive calls

  • July 08, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I am a call center agent, and we use the solution to make and receive calls. 

What is most valuable?

The solution's most valuable feature is its calling feature. It is very stable for outbound calls, and the tool's call routing feature is efficient. We integrated it with Zendesk. I answered the calls in my queue and transferred the ones that were for escalation. TalkDesk is very user-friendly. 

What needs improvement?

Inbound calls are shaky, especially if your internet speed is not high. It happens because of the internet bandwidth. The solution must be stable for regions with slow internet speeds, such as South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya. It is because Africa doesn't have a good internet infrastructure. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for one year and two months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution's stability a seven out of ten. Changing the status was sometimes a problem. Sometimes, you'd be on break or away, and the system would switch back to available status without you doing it, even if it were still your break time.

How are customer service and support?

At times, I sort things out. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We switched from Zendesk to TalkDesk because of the cost. 

How was the initial setup?

TalkDesk's deployment is straightforward. 

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend the product to others. It is an efficient and easy-to-use technology. It can handle calls and different portfolios. I rate the product an eight out of ten.

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for our contact center and as our telephony system.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use.

The solution's reporting feature is sometimes delayed and could be improved. Sometimes, the reports don't update quickly enough, leading to backlogs.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We previously used a different tool and switched to TalkDesk because of its stability.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup is very easy and fast.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

TalkDesk's pricing is with the investment.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing TalkDesk, we evaluated other options like 8x8 and Mitel.

What other advice do I have?

TalkDesk is a SaaS product. I would recommend the solution to other users. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use TalkDesk for the first time. TalkDesk is a very easy-to-use, powerful, and feature-rich solution.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Talkdesk review

  • June 17, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What is good about talkdesk is that the buisness parteners decdicated to our account, (TAM CSM) want to shar wihin our success.
What do you dislike about the product?
What could improve with Taldkesk is the support. Once when we had an issue support implemented a change to fix the issue without our consent or notifiing use distipe Talkdesk's website saying otherwise. This caused us have to go on a tier 1 with the vendor to quickly restore key fuctionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Talkdesk is solving our need of our one platform for a contact/call center across a large sized organazation.

A cloud central solution for IVR applications, specifically for collecting payments

  • June 13, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use TalkDesk for IVR applications, specifically for collecting payments. The system prompts them to enter their account number, checks their balance, allows them to choose a payment amount, collects credit card information including number, expiration month, and year, and then processes the payment.

What is most valuable?

TalkDesk and their online support are very helpful. I collaborated with another resource who managed the call routing. My role was to develop applications that interacted with the routing system as needed, such as taking over calls for payment processing and directing any issues to the appropriate support personnel.       

What needs improvement?

One area for improvement is its graphical environment, which doesn't allow for customized placement of icons or separate pages, making it challenging to organize and maintain complex applications. Additionally, it lacks certain features for applications like default inter-digit timeout settings or overall prompt timeout settings, which are common in other products.

I also had a challenge with call logging, as the system didn't perform well in retrieving and playing back call audio during development, although this might have been due to our specific setup or data volume.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using TalkDesk for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I didn't encounter any stability issues with TalkDesk; it worked reliably and was easy to manage.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Based on its solid performance, I believe it would handle increasing users and data well. In our organization, approximately three thousand users and an additional thousand patients use TalkDesk.

How are customer service and support?

TalkDesk's support is lacking, with long response times and delayed product feature timelines. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We switched from Vonage due to cost issues.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up TalkDesk initially wasn't difficult, but it could be improved. Typically, I'm used to creating one application that can adapt to different environments through parameters, ensuring it works consistently across different stages like development or production. However, with TalkDesk, I had to create separate applications for each environment, which required some manual adjustments, especially for API calls.

What was our ROI?

The product is worth the investment based on its performance.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate TalkDesk a seven out of ten. 

My advice to others would be to expect some learning curves with the product but to give it time as it becomes easier to use once you get familiar with it.

Easy to use and has an easy initial setup phase

  • June 13, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I am an IVR application developer. My company is using TalkDesk to develop an application for Ashley Furniture Homestore India, a retail shop. My company is developing TalkDesk and integrating it with Omilia. My company is using TalkDesk to connect with an agent and for all purposes, as well as to integrate with NLP and for all those that Omilia will handle. TalkDesk handles agent transfers and creates the flows.

What is most valuable?

With TalkDesk, you get to use TalkDesk Studio, which allows you to easily create outbound campaigns, and I am very happy with it.

What needs improvement?

From my company, the feedback for TalkDesk stems from the fact that the tool is very slow when compared to Genesys with Cisco and other tools.

Recently, I have been creating outbound campaigns. For creating outbound campaigns, there is a need to add something in the agent as a recording of a document. If we have a proper document, that would be very good because for TalkDesk Studio, a clear and very good document was provided to our company to create any of the flows and all those things. For Alcon outbound campaign creation, agent mapping, and other such areas, there is no clear documentation. It would be good to make clear documentation from TalkDesk available.

The drawback of the tool revolves around the fact that I see it is very slow when loading the pages. If I want to download any reports, like a particular call report or anything, it will take only two minutes, and it should be loaded in seconds, but it takes too long.

The tool is very slow to load. Suppose I try to load any pages, including TalkDesk Studio's page or any reporting page. If I am trying to download any report for particular dates, the analysis part will take too long.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using TalkDesk for six months. I am a user of the tool.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There have been no issues with the product's stability. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. The tool needs to be improved, especially since it has a heavy latency.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

The solution's technical support team has been very supportive, especially when our company raises any issues. The solution's technical support team is easily contactable, and they respond. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase is easy.

What other advice do I have?

TalkDesk is easy to use, but a few things need to be improved.

I have not used the tool's AI capabilities. I have used only the survey part of the tool.

I will recommend the product to other people.

I think it is easy to use.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
