Abeer ELADAWY - PeerSpot reviewer
Deputy Senior Manager, Customer Interaction Management at DEWA
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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Avaya offers some of the most widely used (and therefore tested and improved) contact center solutions available."
"It's scalable, it's fast, and it is very robust."
"The technical support services are good."
"It is very simple to learn how to use TalkDesk."
"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 tool is similar to RingCentral. It automatically integrates with your systems, so you can make calls directly from Teams instead of making calls with the TalkDesk application. It also has sentiment analytics features, similar to AI features, where you can analyze the tone of the person you're speaking with, determining if they are angry or happy. You can pull back data and analyze it on a separate system."
"I believe it is a great return because our last solution did not have this strict relationship."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"The solution should be more flexible on-premises. We are currently on-premises and looking to move to the cloud."
"Avaya Contact Center solutions might not be the cheapest solution available (but you certainly get what you pay for)."
"Its scalability means that it is not a simple 'install and forget' setup."
"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."
"The solution's reporting feature is sometimes delayed and could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The product must automate certain features so the agents do not have to do things manually."
"While using TalkDesk, I noticed that sometimes the default color scheme, especially in night mode, wasn't suitable for elderly users."
"One area of improvement is the customization options for cloud storage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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