SM
Voice Engineer at Softtek
Enables seamless integration with leading customer support platforms and offers reliable and scalable communication solutions
The feature I find best about Amazon Connect, which is currently on trend, is the artificial intelligence. It helps us maintain continuity with the client. For instance, if a client calls for a ticket and calls again after three days, we can keep the same ticket or request to provide follow-up with the same agent or person. That is a valuable feature. Another important capability I discovered is that, from a technical perspective, you can select the caller ID in such a way that if one of your direct numbers fails, you can select another one to proceed with the calls. The system is not dependent on one calling number.
Kages Michael - PeerSpot reviewer
Human Resources Manager at Uber
Live call insights have boosted agent productivity and improved customer satisfaction tracking
The best features that TalkDesk offers include live tracking of agent productivity, reporting of agent evaluations, and text analyzing calls agents have taken. Out of the features such as live tracking, agent evaluation reporting, and text analysis of calls, all the features that I mentioned are great, as well as the enabled AI agents to operate with full context, collaborating seamlessly to resolve complex customer problems with speed, precision, and adaptability. I also love the user interface of TalkDesk. It is very easy to customize and navigate, and also very user-friendly. This makes TalkDesk one of the easiest tools to use. Additionally, the customer support has been very proactive and responsive 24/7. They help all the new users or generally anyone who has a question about TalkDesk, and they are able to resolve any issue on time.
