IT Manager at Namchow (Thailand) Ltd.
Global communication has improved customer meetings but remains costly and limited in reach
The most valuable features of Cisco Webex Contact Center are that both software platforms are the same, with only the video conference being different. The quality is acceptable for our needs. The benefits I have seen from using Cisco Webex Contact Center are that it is easy to contact customers and easy to open issues regarding hardware problems.

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

"The best features of Cisco Webex Contact Center are the ease of use, and while the platform has pretty standard features, it is definitely easy to use, and the impact of the omnichannel communication on customer experience consistency is quite good."
"I rate the product's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The collaboration function is an important feature. The tool is used for telecommuting and distance communication. For example, you can use Webex if you have a global service or team that needs to collaborate online."
"The central management tool, Control Hub, holds significant value for the management team."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Webex Contact Center are that both software platforms are the same, with only the video conference being different, the quality is acceptable for our needs, and it is easy to contact customers and easy to open issues regarding hardware problems."
"Cisco technical support is outstanding."
"The technical support for Cisco Webex Contact Center is high quality and I would rate it at least nine out of ten."
"I believe it is a great return because our last solution did not have this strict relationship."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"TalkDesk has positively impacted my organization because it has been very helpful since I started using this tool; it has increased quality assurance scores, improved customer experience and trust in pilot reviews, improved training material, improved call handling time, and increased quality evaluation."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"TalkDesk enhanced customer service with AI."
"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."
 

Cons

"When comparing Cisco to free collaboration tools like Google Meet and Teams, often included with Microsoft licenses, some clients, particularly those not in the enterprise sector, might prefer the free or more cost-effective options."
"Cisco Webex Contact Center needs more improvements, especially as they lagged behind initially in adopting cloud technologies."
"When we deal with them, there is sometimes a lot of back and forth due to our unique requirements, as nobody is perfect."
"The scalability of the solution is limited in that it cannot scale out effectively. This is why I have attempted to use Microsoft Teams to achieve greater scalability than Cisco Webex because I believe Cisco Webex is very expensive."
"With the solution, I face issues when trying to use the screen share option."
"It is not straightforward for beginners but is very straightforward for those familiar with it. It can be a little complicated for those who have not worked on it before."
"One area of improvement is the customization options for cloud storage."
"The solution lacks some features for outbound campaigns compared to other providers."
"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."
"We faced issues with bulk SMS."
"There is room for improvement in the flexibility of the dashboard and reporting customization."
"The product must automate certain features so the agents do not have to do things manually."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is a cheap product, especially when compared to Microsoft Teams."
"If we need less number of licenses, the pricing will be high."
"TalkDesk's pricing is with the investment."
