Featured Reviews

Rajni Kumar Jha - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good reliability, works well for hybrid environment, totally managed by Amazon but needs to integrate third-party CRM tools like Salesforce
My recommendation depends on your exact requirements. It involves the following aspects: * What's the size of your operation? * What specific purposes do you have in mind? * Could you elaborate on how you intend to use it? For example, if I have a call center with 30 people, and I primarily want to use it for call center operations. I wouldn't recommend Avaya or Cisco. I'd suggest considering either Amazon Connect or Salesforce Service Cloud (voice services). For Amazon Connect, I'd rate it a seven out of ten. There are a few features they still need to improve, particularly with Customer Profiles and case management. If these features become as robust as Salesforce, then Amazon Connect could be a complete contact center solution without the need to integrate third-party CRM tools like Salesforce.
Vítor Hugo Pacheco - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple to manage workflow and inbound flow and easy learning curve
I like the simplicity of managing a flow, mostly inbound. It's the most powerful feature in TalkDesk. From the user's point of view, there's no need for a softphone or TIP phone. The solution is very seamless. We use AI with a custom solution outside of TalkDesk. It is very simple to learn how to use TalkDesk. If you are in a managing position, you have the academy. Within one or two days, you are trained to work as a system manager.
