Provides omnichannel AI features and has good routing capabilities
The routing capabilities are excellent. We have priority routing set up for VIP customers, disabled customers, and those with special needs, ensuring they receive prompt and efficient service. We have implemented a use case where AI helps when a customer calls and says, "My bill is high." The AI searches the customer's profile to check if the high consumption is real or just a misunderstanding. If it is high, the AI creates a notification for the backend to check the issue. The system automatically generates the bill and the notification for the agent, who then views and either submits or rejects the notification. I recommend using the solution for all the features I have mentioned before, including the excellent AI experience, omnichannel, self-service, and customer journey features. I rate it a nine.

Unified channels have simplified customer support and now need more responsive assistance
The best features TalkDesk offers include the unification of messages through omnichannel support, which allows me to combine all messages from voice calls, SMS, chats, email, and social media onto a single platform. I also utilize the AI features for immediate customer support with a virtual assistant to handle customers when our agents are offline, and it requires no coding, making it really easy to use. The AI support specifically helps me save a lot of time as I only have to input and set it up; in case of any inquiries, it automatically provides feedback to customers needing help. Additionally, with the omnichannel feature, I don't need to log into all my social media handles or check my chats and emails separately, as I find everything in one place, which helps me become more efficient, save time, and stay organized.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's scalable, it's fast, and it is very robust."
"The technical support services are good."
"TalkDesk enhanced customer service with AI."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"With TalkDesk, you get to use TalkDesk Studio, which allows you to easily create outbound campaigns, and I am very happy with it."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its calling feature. It is very stable for outbound calls, and the tool's call routing feature is efficient. We integrated it with Zendesk. I answered the calls in my queue and transferred the ones that were for escalation. TalkDesk is very user-friendly."
"I would highly recommend TalkDesk because it is a good tool that simplifies work, provides analytics, and saves time, generating a good return on investment; it is excellent for communication and integration."
"It is very simple to learn how to use TalkDesk."
 

Cons

"Its scalability means that it is not a simple 'install and forget' setup."
"The solution should be more flexible on-premises. We are currently on-premises and looking to move to the cloud."
"There were two big issues, but in a general statement, it is a stable tool."
"The solution lacks some features for outbound campaigns compared to other providers."
"The drawback of the tool revolves around the fact that I see it is very slow when loading the pages."
"While using TalkDesk, I noticed that sometimes the default color scheme, especially in night mode, wasn't suitable for elderly users."
"The solution's reporting feature is sometimes delayed and could be improved."
"We faced issues with bulk SMS."
"Regarding needed improvements, while I find the customer support team generally effective, I notice it can be less responsive during certain hours, especially when their agents are offline, making communication difficult."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Avaya Contact Center solutions might not be the cheapest solution available (but you certainly get what you pay for)."
"TalkDesk's pricing is with the investment."
"If we need less number of licenses, the pricing will be high."
