Abeer ELADAWY - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides omnichannel AI features and has good routing capabilities
The routing capabilities are excellent. We have priority routing set up for VIP customers, disabled customers, and those with special needs, ensuring they receive prompt and efficient service. We have implemented a use case where AI helps when a customer calls and says, "My bill is high." The AI searches the customer's profile to check if the high consumption is real or just a misunderstanding. If it is high, the AI creates a notification for the backend to check the issue. The system automatically generates the bill and the notification for the agent, who then views and either submits or rejects the notification. I recommend using the solution for all the features I have mentioned before, including the excellent AI experience, omnichannel, self-service, and customer journey features. I rate it a nine.
TANMAY AKHADE - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly, enables to respond to customer queries 70% to 80% quickly, and reduces dependency on agents
The product has automatic call-routing features. We must share how the calls must be routed to each team, and it automatically takes care of it. The solution is quite user-friendly. We don't have to do a lot of coding. We can do certain configurations on top of the coding, and it is automatically taken care of in the backend. It is a good feature. We can do a lot of automation. The tool is moving towards generative AI. The customer talks to the tool, and the tool understands what they need and provides it to them. Earlier, the customers would send an email and wait for a response from a representative. Our TAT was two to three years. Currently, our TAT is 20 minutes. If customers contact us with any concerns, we respond to them quickly. The response time has improved by 70% to 80%. Though it is new to the market, the generative AI has reduced our dependency on the agents. Earlier, the agents had to answer all of the customers’ issues. Now, TalkDesk fetches the answer from the backend and provides it to the customer. AI is good. It saves us a lot of time. It’s a discovery phase, so it is not quite handy. However, at times, less interaction is required if all the details are available on the website.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's scalable, it's fast, and it is very robust."
"The technical support services are good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"I believe it is a great return because our last solution did not have this strict relationship."
"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."
"TalkDesk enhanced customer service with AI."
"TalkDesk and their online support being very helpful. I collaborated with another resource who managed call routing, and 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."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It is very simple to learn how to use TalkDesk."
 

Cons

"The solution should be more flexible on-premises. We are currently on-premises and looking to move to the cloud."
"Its scalability means that it is not a simple 'install and forget' setup."
"One area for improvement in TalkDesk 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, for IVR applications, it lacks certain features like default inter-digit timeout settings or overall prompt timeout settings, which are common in other products. I also faced challenge was 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."
"There is room for improvement in the flexibility of the dashboard and reporting customization."
"While using TalkDesk, I noticed that sometimes the default color scheme, especially in night mode, wasn't suitable for elderly users."
"The solution's reporting feature is sometimes delayed and could be improved."
"The drawback of the tool revolves around the fact that I see it is very slow when loading the pages."
"One area of improvement is the customization options for cloud storage."
"There were two big issues, but in a general statement, it is a stable tool."
"The product must automate certain features so the agents do not have to do things manually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Avaya Contact Center solutions might not be the cheapest solution available (but you certainly get what you pay for)."
"TalkDesk's pricing is with the investment."
"If we need less number of licenses, the pricing will be high."
