Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.4
NICE CXone customer service is polite and effective, though complex issues may have delayed resolutions due to request nature.
Sentiment score
7.0
TalkDesk customer service is appreciated for professionalism and expertise, yet some experience delays despite accessible support options.
If the issue is network-related or involves configuration, or maybe implementing a new tool, it might take north of 24 hours to identify the right resource to assist you.
We have our own technical account manager which provides us with substantial visibility.
When I faced an issue with reaching a Poland DID that was ported to NICE CXone, their support team resolved the problem immediately.
I am happy with the support line.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.2
NICE CXone is highly scalable and adaptable, efficiently managing extensive loads and supporting broad use cases without difficulty.
Sentiment score
7.3
TalkDesk offers excellent scalability, allowing easy agent adjustments and supporting growth efficiently in diverse business environments.
I have migrated approximately 500 people to the system, and it can certainly support more users beyond this number.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.1
NICE CXone is generally stable, with brief outages well-managed, earning high praise for technical support and communication.
Sentiment score
6.5
TalkDesk is stable and reliable with minor issues, rated between six and nine out of ten by users.
In general, the stability is good.
While the system often operates without issues, there have been instances of reports involving VM resource congestion, WFM issues, and RT problems.
 

Room For Improvement

NICE CXone needs an improved user interface, better audio, streamlined reporting, enhanced AWS control, and competitive pricing.
TalkDesk needs enhanced automation, outbound features, speed, and customization; faces challenges with call quality and limited support access.
Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools, leading to potentially higher out-of-pocket expenses.
The audio quality in NICE CXone has room for improvement, as I experience issues like diffused calls and crackling audio.
 

Setup Cost

NICE CXone requires careful evaluation of tiered licensing costs and features, especially considering data transition challenges.
 

Valuable Features

NICE CXone enhances business efficiency with customizable features, seamless integration, and real-time management tools, offering flexibility and control.
TalkDesk offers seamless integrations, AI enhancements, and ease of use, with features like automatic call-routing and comprehensive reporting.
The switch from using Avaya, which required connecting to a hard or soft phone, to using WebRTC via a web browser has significantly improved customer service efficiency.
Some of the best features with NICE CXone are the real-time visibility that you have, which empowers you to make adjustments on the fly, such as turning on and off your queues and adjusting how we route calls to our agents.
The main feature for us is reporting and the capability to maintain a strict relationship with our customers.

Featured Reviews

Antoneil Phillips - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time adjustments enhance call management, though pricing needs improvement
The reporting isn't bad, but there are opportunities for improvement; we get real-time dashboards for monitoring, though for performance management, we have to procure certain reports manually by pulling down raw data from the system, which could be better. Regarding the pricing, this would be an area of opportunity as well; this feedback is based on where we're positioned in the Caribbean. Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools, leading to potentially higher out-of-pocket expenses.
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.
