Cloud simplifies deployment and expansion but needs more third-party options
If I wanted a single feature, the best feature is the fastest process for going live on the contact center features. Cisco Webex Contact Center also helps me avoid the headache of server configurations and management, as well as facilitating third-party integration like WhatsApp, which is much easier on the cloud. These aspects add value for my customers who opt for cloud contact center solutions, whether from Cisco or other competitors.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support for Cisco Webex Contact Center is high quality and I would rate it at least nine out of ten."
"The collaboration function is an important feature. The tool is used for telecommuting and distance communication. For example, you can use Webex if you have a global service or team that needs to collaborate online."
"Cisco technical support is outstanding."
"I rate the product's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The central management tool, Control Hub, holds significant value for the management team."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"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 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."
"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."
"TalkDesk enhanced customer service with AI."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"With TalkDesk, you get to use TalkDesk Studio, which allows you to easily create outbound campaigns, and I am very happy with it."
"I believe it is a great return because our last solution did not have this strict relationship."
 

Cons

"It is not straightforward for beginners but is very straightforward for those familiar with it. It can be a little complicated for those who have not worked on it before."
"When comparing Cisco to free collaboration tools like Google Meet and Teams, often included with Microsoft licenses, some clients, particularly those not in the enterprise sector, might prefer the free or more cost-effective options."
"With the solution, I face issues when trying to use the screen share option."
"Cisco Webex Contact Center needs more improvements, especially as they lagged behind initially in adopting cloud technologies."
"We faced issues with bulk SMS."
"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 solution's reporting feature is sometimes delayed and could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the flexibility of the dashboard and reporting customization."
"The product must automate certain features so the agents do not have to do things manually."
"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."
"The drawback of the tool revolves around the fact that I see it is very slow when loading the pages."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is a cheap product, especially when compared to Microsoft Teams."
"TalkDesk's pricing is with the investment."
"If we need less number of licenses, the pricing will be high."
