Featured Reviews

Miriam Wanjiku - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer at AT&T
AI automation has reduced handling time and has improved support quality across channels
Some of the best features that TalkDesk offers are ease of use and customization, valuable training resources, responsive support, and also AI and automation capabilities, Agent Assist, and speech analytics and sentiment analysis.All the features that I have mentioned make the biggest difference for our team, providing an intuitive interface allowing for easy navigation and customization options tailored to our collaboration needs. TalkDesk has been really helpful in my organization as this tool has reduced average AHT from four minutes to two minutes, CSAT increased over thirty percent, and our QM team evaluates calls twenty percent faster. Most of the changes that made it possible to reduce average AHT and increase CSAT are low-code or no-code, which lets us maneuver quickly when we need to implement changes or new features.
Naqash Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Data Reporting Analyst at University of Bradford
Has improved performance through real-time reporting and streamlined campaign workflows
Some parts of the dashboard could be easier to navigate for new users, and integration with CRM and analytics tools without needing external connections would be beneficial. The setup could also be simpler, especially for smaller teams. Simpler initial integration would ease deployment for teams without IT expertise. Improvements in documentation are crucial to help new users start faster. Enhanced support with quicker response times and a built-in community for questions would be beneficial. More monitoring dashboards, alerts, and visualization forms such as tutorial videos would also improve user experience. Improving the onboarding process and dashboard visualization, along with interactive tutorials based on AWS performance or campaign metrics, would also benefit new users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 get to use TalkDesk Studio, which allows you to easily create outbound campaigns, and I am very happy with it."
"TalkDesk has been really helpful in my organization as this tool has reduced average AHT from four minutes to two minutes, CSAT increased over thirty percent, and our QM team evaluates calls twenty percent faster."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"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."
"It is very simple to learn how to use TalkDesk."
"I believe it is a great return because our last solution did not have this strict relationship."
"I have seen substantial return on investment from automating calls and data processing on EC2, saving approximately 10 to 15 hours per campaign and significantly increasing efficiency."
"The efficiency and quick setup benefited my project as it saved time because there were no complex tools needed to be installed and just a simple UI to go in and log in as a master user and then we can provide access to our agents."
 

Cons

"Reporting can take a long time to load, and the administration user interface can be unintuitive if you are not familiar with it, and it lacks bulk SMS capabilities."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the flexibility of the dashboard and reporting customization."
"The drawback of the tool revolves around the fact that I see it is very slow when loading the pages."
"We faced issues with bulk SMS."
"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."
"One area of improvement is the customization options for cloud storage."
"The product must automate certain features so the agents do not have to do things manually."
"The initial setup of EC2 instances and configuring the system felt complex for smaller teams without dedicated IT personnel."
"The user interface and navigation could be simplified for new users, as some find it complex compared to competing platforms."
"I have not seen a return on investment and I'm not privy to that data, but it's primarily about expanding reach."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"TalkDesk's pricing is with the investment."
"If we need less number of licenses, the pricing will be high."
