Featured Reviews

Dhivakar I - PeerSpot reviewer
Have faced persistent configuration issues and performance delays that slow down large workflows
From a developer's perspective, it could be more open for programming language configurations. It is currently restricted to Groovy scripting. While UI and UX designs are open to JavaScript configurations, there are restrictions on certain functions that can be used. The solution could be enhanced to better serve customers when dealing with complex programs. The customer's websites face issues with loading properly, and response time gets longer when implementing larger workflows. This could be improved to achieve lower response times even with larger workflows involving multiple system integrations and complex architecture. The agent decay capabilities need improvement in future releases. Currently, there are some agent decay configurations available for developers to implement, but this area needs enhancement. Performance issues exist in the Sandbox area. The Sandbox is a trial area for configurations, but if work continues for a long time without publishing, it tends to get corrupted, requiring deletion and rework from the ground up. This has caused significant rework and effort multiple times. Technical support can be challenging to work with. When facing product-related issues or configuration problems, the support experience varies. Sometimes the technical support is knowledgeable and helpful, but often they redirect problems elsewhere and cause delays in resolution.
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.
