Talkdesk is a cloud-based call center solution that helps businesses improve customer satisfaction while simultaneously reducing customer support costs. It uses interactive voice response (IVR), automatic call distribution (ACD) and skills-based routing, callers are routed to the agent who is most qualified to meet the needs based on customizable data.

Talkdesk displays the caller's name, image, contact information, purchase history and contact history in the agent's browser in real-time so they can personalize their conversations. The system automates tasks so a new profile is created whenever a new contact calls. When a call is missed, Talkdesk sends an email containing call data, a voicemail recording and a transcription. Managers and agents are also able to make data-driven decisions with call monitoring, call recording, and real-time and historical reporting.

The system integrates with several different programs including InfusionSoft, Salesforce, Desk.com, Zendesk and Shopify. Price is per rep per month. Support is offered via knowledge base, email and phone.

Supported Operating System(s):
Mac OS , Web browser (OS agnostic) , Windows 8

    Pros

    Talkdesk has a nice UI, very easy to use. It helps firms to personalize the conversation between their clients and prospects. Navigation through the software is simple. The sound quality is also great. The application has been very reliable especially in the beginning when we started encountering various odd bugs in the system. Their timely updates had helped us to fix a lot of issues. It makes digital calling very easy. As a call center, quality assurance is a big deal for us. It helps in making data-driven decisions and has helped in improving the productivity of our team. Using Talkdesk, we can easily track and record call that really helps us monitor the calls being made.

    Cons

    There have been downtimes which can be problematic for us. Hope they can do something to reduce or better stop it altogether. At times, the customer service isn't responsive.

    This software works, but there are a couple of thing that really bother me about it.

    Pros

    I like that I am able to manage calls on my computer, and be able to use my nice headphones for my calls now instead of a phone headset.

    Cons

    One thing I really don't like about the product is there is no "re-dial" option, I have to add the number again and call once again, instead of looking through recent calls because it isn't there. This is the biggest complaint of mine.

    Pros

    It is hard to find any positives about this platform. I mean, if I had to find a positive, it would be that it will make phone calls from time to time.

    Cons

    The big picture here is that this platform drops calls consistently. I don't trust it and have started using Google Voice (which isn't a good platform either). That should explain how bad Zoom really is.

    When you receive a voicemail, you have to wait for up to 10 minutes before you can even listen to it You receive a notification via email immediately, which doesn't help because you can't even listen to the flipping message! I end up calling the customer back and having them re-explain the same thing they said in the voicemail because I couldn't listen to it. Also, their softphone is a joke.

    Keep shopping, my friends.

    Pros

    I like that the Talkdesk Dialer could be accessed throughout the computer, without being logged into the system.

    Cons

    I’d like to see some improvements to the integrations with HubSpot or Front - neither integration seemed to clearly and helpfully show the history behind the call/customer and connect it to additional emails or orders.

    I get to easily navigate the call bar widget.

    Pros

    Very easy to copy/paste phone number to search customer's information. I always have a clear connection. Easy to search for a call for follow ups.

    Cons

    Sometimes Talkdesk has connection issues. I'll log into the widget and it won't connect to my head piece for some reason.

    The toolbar is really easy, you have it in a part of your screen and you can use it all the time, it's synchronized with salesforce so easy to just click on phones numbers

    Pros

    This software is really easy to use, there is two different part, the website where you can find all the reporting, infos about who is using, status of agent and of course the part to call. Had one issue and got a Talkdesk customer support who helped me in less than 15 minutes.

    Cons

    Some numbers may not be available at some times and it's not fixed really fast, the connectivity at some point is not the best also.

    Talkdesk is easy to use and the features made calls every easy and managable for our smaller team. It also integrates with many of the CRM software we use so that ticket tracking is seamless.

    Cons

    Talkdesk crashes a lot. At least once or twice a day. It worked well when it works but there were are a lot of issues when we are having a very high call volume.

    Pros

    Not too much. Call quality is barely acceptable for a free to low cost option, let alone the premium pricing charged. It is entirely online based, which is great, allowing you to make calls from anywhere.

    Cons

    The incredibly high price for an entire team, in addition to the very low call quality. Call quality reports are asked for after every call, with no follow-up or action. Reporting interface appears to be in real time, but often omits large amounts of the team, and is not reliable to make any sort of staffing decisions.

    sometimes there are odd errors when trying to make a call, and sometimes calls won't come in even though my reps are available. This is rare though, and their customer support tends to be on the case quickly.

    The software glitches. I can not tell if its due to the volume of sales reps we have using it under one roof, or if its the talkdesk themselves.

    Pros

    I like that it encompasses all aspects of customer support, in one place. One thing that grabbed my attention about TalkDesk was the ability to listen in on calls in a muted mode, or in a coach mode to speak with your agent, and the customer not able to hear you.

    Cons

    I did not find enough reviews for company using the software long term for us to make the move from all of our systems on to the TalkDesk platform. We are however still in contact with TalkDesk and would consider the move in the future.

    Pros

    Very customizable. You're able to set up the tool to integrate with your other Support platforms very easily. Talkdesk call bar on the computer is also effective (i.e. it's easy for agents to know when a call is coming to them, when they've missed a call, etc.). You an set up almost any requirements that you want for how long to ring, how long to be on hold, etc.

    Cons

    Reporting isn't as strong as it should be. Talkdesk is gathering huge amounts of data about customers, call patterns, etc. I would love to see more predictive suggestions. For example, "This time last year you had a higher than normal call volume. We suggest you have more agents on standby." We have to export the data to Excel to analyze.

    Pros

    We've been with Talkdesk for over 2 years, and in that time they've proven to be hungry for the market, very innovative and collaborative. The product is fairly robust and there are releases fairly often for improvements, minimal downtime and a nice UI/interface. The sentiment reporting is invaluable and you often don't have to reach out to support since their knowledge base is ridiculously thorough.

    Cons

    We definitely noticed with the departure of our first CSM and transition to another, our rose colored glasses started to come off. Talkdesk suffered some serious outages later in 2017 (though they did their best to make it right after the fact). There are some seemingly obvious improvements that could be made to the product that they have so far de-prioritized over those shiny "innovative" features. Reporting more often than not requires exporting CSVs in order to truly dig into the data, and when you do have to contact support you'll always get a canned response, have to clarify and emphasize again, *then* the agent starts to answer your question.

    Cons

    The player for calls is rather simple - it does not show waveform or when agent and customers are speaking.
