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 can be improved by providing real-time alerts into Slack or email besides the new tool within Live, which requires the dashboard to be opened.

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.
