Integration enhances efficiency with good ERP Fusion Console that helps with centralization
When it comes to ERP Cloud, performance has always been an issue, especially when calling an API or a VIP publisher. I experience timeouts, which Oracle needs to improve. There have been many service requests around this, particularly last year. Although progress has been made, performance is still a concern for me. When dealing with bulk data uploads via a BDI process, some records occasionally fail, requiring me to debug and reprocess them. Enhanced performance is something that I would be interested in.
MARIA PILAR CANDA - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved customer service and post-sales support saves time
The solution could be more affordable as it's quite expensive for some organizations, particularly middle-sized companies. Additionally, finding technical talent for improving the solution is challenging. Configuring Flows in Salesforce Service Cloud is very difficult. There are very few technical people in the market capable of implementing all the flows that clients need at this moment. It's primarily a matter of talent limitation, and flow is the technical mechanism of Salesforce Service Cloud for process automation. In general, while they have the knowledge and help solve problems, finding the right person to address specific issues is very challenging.
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.
