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.

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

"You can integrate it with various systems for batch processing and other configurations."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"It is very simple to learn how to use TalkDesk."
"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 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."
"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."
"TalkDesk enhanced customer service with AI."
"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."
 

Cons

"The product can be complicated to develop, as many methods exist to achieve solutions."
"There is room for improvement in the flexibility of the dashboard and reporting customization."
"We faced issues with bulk SMS."
"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 lacks some features for outbound campaigns compared to other providers."
"The product must automate certain features so the agents do not have to do things manually."
"The solution's reporting feature is sometimes delayed and could be improved."
"The drawback of the tool revolves around the fact that I see it is very slow when loading the pages."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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