Great call clarity and helpful AI tool
What do you like best about the product?
Talkdesk has been such a great tool to have at work. It is very user-friendly and easy to use. I use it every day, all day, with minimal issues. I love having the calls be written out on the side when talking with a customer, so if I cannot hear them or my mic cuts out at all, I have that to look at and refer to. It has been a lifesaver multiple times! I can easily track my performance through Talkdesk as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue I have experienced with Talkdesk is that sometimes the AI and the transcription don't work properly, but it is not often, and it isn't the end of the world.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Talkdesks provides me with a simple easy to use service that lets me work from home.
Product enhancements improve user experience and streamline operations
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
TalkDesk has good integration capability apart from the default products and excellent customization capabilities. You can integrate with products available in the TalkDesk app store, including ServiceNow, Salesforce, and multiple other products. Additionally, if APIs are available, you can custom integrate with third-party applications that are not in the list, which is a significant advantage.
It helps tremendously because with our CRM we can access all call details, interaction details, and recordings. All information is available for each case. We don't need to open TalkDesk separately to check recordings, date-time, or other metadata. Instead, we can directly get all details from the CRM itself. There are additional features where information can pop up through a browser, so agents don't need to search based on who is calling. They can directly view the customer profile without going back and forth.
What needs improvement?
For startups, TalkDesk is a good solution because it offers basic functionality without too many customizable options, such as the dialer. It has a basic dialer and agentless dialer, but customization options are limited. There aren't many options for different schedules, list management, and complex features compared to other products. However, it works well for startups and companies seeking a reliable industry solution with minimal downtime.
The dialer functionality could be improved as it only offers basic features for agentless and predictive or automated dialing.
TalkDesk technical support is good, but they could improve their on-call support. Currently, support is mainly handled through ticket submission with email responses. While calling options exist, they prefer to communicate via email rather than providing direct call support as some other products do.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using TalkDesk for around three years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
Implementation is much better with cloud products compared to on-premises solutions. Instance enablement takes less than a day to configure and start using. The only potential challenge might be obtaining phone numbers depending on the regions. Bringing up an instance is much faster compared to on-premises solutions, which is consistent with most cloud solutions.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Every product has its own advantages and disadvantages. Genesis is a top player but has limited default reports and dashboards with minimal customization options. Nice has good recording solutions. TalkDesk stands out with its user-friendly UI compared to other industry-leading products. It is well-organized, except for the studio flows which can feel somewhat disorganized. They introduced modules in studio flow a few years ago, but the interface for studio creation could still be more user-friendly.
What was our ROI?
There is definitely some ROI, but as a telephone engineer, we do not calculate business improvements or related metrics.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Organizations should consider TalkDesk based on their specific needs, whether they are startups or large organizations. For manual dialing, inbound calls, and basic AI integration capabilities, TalkDesk is suitable. However, for advanced AI capabilities and chatbots, other solutions such as yellow.ai might be more appropriate. TalkDesk is particularly good for basic inbound and outbound capabilities.
What other advice do I have?
We tested AI features in TalkDesk such as Copilot and auto-translate, though we didn't extensively use them. These are valuable features as TalkDesk and other products are incorporating AI capabilities. The system can auto-translate calls and highlight repeated words based on customer scenarios, making it easier to identify contact reasons in specific industries such as hospitality.
TalkDesk is efficient and user-friendly for both small and large businesses. It excels in AI capabilities, inbound calls, standard outbound calls, quality management, and interaction analysis. The system allows for storing and checking real-time data, and with capable developers, customization of live monitoring and historical data analysis is possible through backend integration.
The voice functionality in TalkDesk is particularly strong and easy to train. The Studio flow allows for automation and UI customization for both agents and admins. Integration is straightforward, and agents can efficiently manage cases with automated data population and AI-powered interaction summaries.
On a rating scale, TalkDesk deserves an 8 out of 10 as it offers comprehensive functionality and continues to improve.
The solution is currently hosted on AWS and Azure, depending on the region, with most servers hosted on AWS. Customers do not have direct access to their servers but interact through the interface.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Using Talkdesk is awesome!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Talkdesk is its focus on innovation and customer experience. The platform is constantly evolving, with AI-driven tools and automation that help support teams work smarter, not harder.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Talkdesk is a powerful platform, one area I’ve found challenging is the occasional complexity in customization or integration with certain third-party systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Talkdesk is solving key problems around fragmented customer service, slow response times, and lack of visibility across support channels.
It brings everything into a unified, cloud-based contact center platform, allowing teams to handle voice, chat, email, and more from one place. With AI-powered tools and real-time analytics, Talkdesk helps us:
Respond to customers faster
Personalize interactions more effectively
Improve agent productivity through automation and smart routing
Gain insights into performance through dashboards and reporting

What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity and seamless transition between calls, chats and messaging. Everything is intuitive and nicely designed.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside i can think of is missing a Dark theme.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main function I like is having evaluations integrated into the same program as well as the AI summary which saves a ton of time and effort.
Quick and powerful solution to implement for the integration of AI tools
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity of use and creation of routing paths. Integration of AI modules into the customer experience and the agent console.
What do you dislike about the product?
ability to improve on real-time report creation (number of indicators)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
issues of effective call distribution across agent groups. Accelerate 1st call resolution through the use of the Agent copilot
Its a great program with a few bugs sometimes
What do you like best about the product?
Talk desk has organized my work and has made emailing customers easier for me. The AI dispositions are greatly helpful and I trust those they are very accurate and detailed in summing up conversations. I like being able to see what colleagues are working on what case it prevents us from needlessly repeating work. I use this everyday for work.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I was first using Talk desk I remember I would get confused on which tab I was in between conversations and cases, but I have gotten better about this. The title if cases sometimes has to be put in multiple times. Losing chats is an issue. If someone sends in a chat and closes it before I haver the chance to hit save then the case/chat is lost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
organization is much better and helped us be able to go from using multiple programs to talk desk.
Improving customer relationships with enhanced reporting and effective call scheduling
What is our primary use case?
Our industry is insurance. We are a middle to large enterprise with around seven hundred employees and about one thousand mailboxes. We have four contact centers, each with around twelve or fifteen agents.
What is most valuable?
We need to adopt this platform. The main feature for us is reporting and the capability to maintain a strict relationship with our customers. Additionally, it provides the capability to schedule a call for all busy hours.
What needs improvement?
We are still relatively new to this tool so we are not sure what could be improved. However, we consider it to be a great tool.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using the solution for around twelve, could be fifteen or sixteen months.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
We found a site with the documentation but we get a 403 error, so it could be that the documentation is not available.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There were two big issues, but in a general statement, it is a stable tool.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
TalkDesk is scalable.
How are customer service and support?
I am happy with the support line, but in some cases, the response is slow.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used Microsoft before switching to TalkDesk.
How was the initial setup?
It is a difficult setup, honestly. It took us around twelve months to start up.
What about the implementation team?
In our company, there were two people involved. For other third parties, like our carrier or the TalkDesk pool, there could be ten people.
What was our ROI?
I believe it is a great return because our last solution did not have this strict relationship. After implementing TalkDesk, we boosted our solution and our workforce to improve our response time.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We do not have a point of comparison, but in general, I consider it a fair price.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We are evaluating the Mimecast solution.
What other advice do I have?
We prefer to remain anonymous. Our overall product rating for TalkDesk is nine.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
An admin-friendly jack-of-all-trades CCaaS
What do you like best about the product?
Talkdesk is supremely customizable, both with native features and with APIs. Most everything is built from the customer perspective with low or no code. There are many OOTB integrations available with major partners like Salesforce/Slack, and it's incredibly easy to set up an OAuth client or new custom integration with pretty much any other platform.
Our agents and supervisors love having access to live dashboards. They can customize what information is relevant to them and it helps them be more independent with their schedules.
Support and our CSM/TAM understand our feature requests, tie them to use cases with their other customers, and advocate for those features internally. We've seen several of our ideas released during our partnership.

What do you dislike about the product?
The level of possible customization can also make it difficult for Talkdesk Support to triage any unwanted behaviors. They have to dig through everything we've built that is specific to our environment and we often take more time explaining how things work than we do finding a fix.
Talkdesk is a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Many AI-related features seem like they were groundbreaking when first launched, but they may be starting to fall behind specialized vendors in terms of feature quality or stability.
Talkdesk is a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Many AI-related features seem like they were groundbreaking when first launched, but they may be starting to fall behind specialized vendors in terms of feature quality or stability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Talkdesk has started to market themselves as an AI company moreso than a CCaaS. Some of the AI features we've seen and some we've heard are coming down the pipeline will help everyone in our contact center be more efficient - from agents, to supervisors, to QA to admins, etc.
