Has efficient automation features and the ability to integrate with multiple systems
The initial setup is quite difficult for the latest versions from 2020 and beyond and can take about four to five hours. It can now be deployed on the cloud. Oracle offers the same images for on-premise and cloud deployments, making it easy to switch between the two. I created the docker image using VM and completed the setup in a few hours.

AI automation has reduced handling time and has improved support quality across channels
Some of the best features that TalkDesk offers are ease of use and customization, valuable training resources, responsive support, and also AI and automation capabilities, Agent Assist, and speech analytics and sentiment analysis.All the features that I have mentioned make the biggest difference for our team, providing an intuitive interface allowing for easy navigation and customization options tailored to our collaboration needs. 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. Most of the changes that made it possible to reduce average AHT and increase CSAT are low-code or no-code, which lets us maneuver quickly when we need to implement changes or new features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can integrate it with various systems for batch processing and other configurations."
"I believe it is a great return because our last solution did not have this strict relationship."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"It is very simple to learn how to use TalkDesk."
"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."
"With TalkDesk, you get to use TalkDesk Studio, which allows you to easily create outbound campaigns, and I am very happy with it."
 

Cons

"The product can be complicated to develop, as many methods exist to achieve solutions."
"The solution lacks some features for outbound campaigns compared to other providers."
"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 drawback of the tool revolves around the fact that I see it is very slow when loading the pages."
"The product must automate certain features so the agents do not have to do things manually."
"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."
"There were two big issues, but in a general statement, it is a stable tool."
"One area of improvement is the customization options for cloud storage."
"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

"The platform is expensive."
"If we need less number of licenses, the pricing will be high."
"TalkDesk's pricing is with the investment."
