What is our primary use case?
My main use case for TalkDesk is to evaluate calls and communicate feedback to employees regarding their performance. I also use it to track agent productivity and their status. TalkDesk helps us address productivity issues. We have a live view of everything and can address it simultaneously. I can also track performance feedback through the evaluation forms.
In addition to that, I also use TalkDesk to track customer interaction and satisfaction and to report on the business performance.
A specific example of how I use TalkDesk to communicate feedback or track productivity is that it serves as our main telephone system. We eliminated Cisco, which was much more expensive compared to TalkDesk. It is our main telephone system for our inbound contact center that handles technical support for our organization. I was looking for a flexible and cost-effective platform that allowed us to seamlessly build a multi-tenant instance that worked for all our various teams, which TalkDesk provided. In the future, I am looking to layer in AI components such as autonomous agents and automated QA, and I am currently exploring this option.
What is most valuable?
The best features that TalkDesk offers include live tracking of agent productivity, reporting of agent evaluations, and text analyzing calls agents have taken.
Out of the features such as live tracking, agent evaluation reporting, and text analysis of calls, all the features that I mentioned are great, as well as the enabled AI agents to operate with full context, collaborating seamlessly to resolve complex customer problems with speed, precision, and adaptability.
I also love the user interface of TalkDesk. It is very easy to customize and navigate, and also very user-friendly. This makes TalkDesk one of the easiest tools to use. Additionally, the customer support has been very proactive and responsive 24/7. They help all the new users or generally anyone who has a question about TalkDesk, and they are able to resolve any issue on time.
What needs improvement?
TalkDesk can be improved by providing real-time alerts into Slack or email besides the new tool within Live, which requires the dashboard to be opened. Also, I have had an issue with the accuracy of invoices that I think are fixed, but then tend to reappear. Additionally, the reporting can take a long time to load.
TalkDesk can have room for improvement if I could join Academy from the comfort of my home or while working remotely. That would be great.
It could be better if TalkDesk could notify whenever I need to aux.
