Talkdesk is user-friendly and perfect for any company looking for new ways to communicate!

  • July 13, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Features like ring groups, queue data, and the ability to open numerous phone lines simulataneously!
What do you dislike about the product?
Calls are not successfully connected 100% of the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With ring groups, we can quickly transfer calls to the appropriate departments without specifically knowing who is currently in the office within each department. Additionally, as a staffing agency that consistently opens phone lines to recruit large numbers of staff, it is helpful to have Talkdesk's phone line queue data to let us know how many interested candidates we have in the queue.

Talkdesk is the perfect program for call centers.

  • July 13, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the simplicity of the user interface. When we recieve a call, it is very easy to see who is calling, and answering is simple. The call quality is crisp and clear when speaking over the phone, and transferring to other users/departments is quick and seamless. I also have admin access so I can see the call volume and phone queue. It also gives a simple view of call history and which agents have answered phone calls. Call length and times are also recorded for quality assurance purposes. The option to go back and view recorded phone conversations is a great help for quality assurance too. The reporting section is by far my favorite widget of Talkdesk. Being able to see every single agent online and who is calling into our phone lines provides great visibility, and the design interface is very easy on the eyes. When you dive deeper into the reports, you're able to see how many agents are online and availiable, how many are busy and currently on a phone call with a customer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every few weeks or so, the program can have a few bugs and errors, but that's usually fixed quickly. Calls can also drop randomly, and it can be a complicated process to try and call back the customer you were talking to. We have alot of agents on the phone lines all day, so it can be confusing on who is speaking to who in real time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Talkdesk helps solve answering phones quickly and transferring between callers. When a company is experienceing large call volumes throughout the day, you need to have a reliable phone line with quick and easy phone queues. We operate with over almost a dozen different phone lines, and its quick and easy to differentiate between them. The process of warm and cold transfers is also a great feature depending on the situation. Time quick simple , reporting, access
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a program that will absolutely provide ease of use for your phone lines and allow your company to operate more effectively when giving inbound or outbound calls to clients or customers, Talkdesk is for you.

I've had little issues since I first started using it, love being able to warm transfer a call.

  • July 13, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like having the choice to warm transfer a call to someone then fill them in before I connect the customer to the person. The call bar that will stay on your screen at all times is a perfect way to keep you on top of calls when you have a busy day. Having the choice to change your status to receive calls from available to away is extremely helpful as well to ensure you can have a break without worrying you will miss a call.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are connection issues, and the call will disconnect when you are receiving important information. If it a transferred call you cannot see who called you so you can call back. The person calling in gets frustrated and discouraged to call again and this really hurts the business. One major thing I wish I could change about this is the visibility on seeing who transferred a call when it is a blind transfer. This makes it hard to contact the person to ask for any additional knowledge about the situation. It is not talkdesks fault people sometimes blind transfer but it would be very helpful to have visibility on who did the transfer. Allowing us to see reports on how often people blind transfer so that we can address the people and make sure they are speaking to the receiver in person before they transfer so they do not get any calls out of the blue with a person saying "I was just on the phone with someone and they said they were going to transfer me." Then we have to ask the person to repeat everything they already spoke to someone about. It makes our calls less effecient and having visilibilty on a report that reflects who is doing blind transfers will allow us to address awakard situations like these.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having ring groups ensure I can transfer a call to the correct department and reviewing the number of people in the queue is extremely helpful. Filters for live phone calls are beneficial when monitoring call volume. I absoluetly find the option to change my status very helpful to our company because it allows other to know when you are available and that way you do not miss any important calls and can relax while you are having a short break without having to worry about missed calls.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always change your status to reflect when you are not available to ensure you do not miss any important calls. Make sure always to connect the inbound caller to the correct department to complete the transfer successfully; preferably, when you transfer, it should always be a warm transfer. Blind transfers are okay when you have spoken to the other recruiter in person about the call. If you do not, the inbound caller and the person you are transferring to will be confused and, they might both miss out on any additional insight you can provide. I would definitely ensure that people know not to blind transfer someone unless they know they are going to be receiving a transferred call.

Excellent Business Tool

What do you like best about the product?
There is no equipment, you can utilize the service straight from your computer or smartphone.
What do you dislike about the product?
There could be a few more options for each user, so perhaps the user can create their own phonebooks or favorite numbers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's very easy to track who is on a call and how long they are running, or if our staff are not taking calls at all for some reason.

Used Talkdesk for occasional inbound calls

  • July 13, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of transferring to other people in the company using Talkdesk is my favorite thing about it. Having the ability to smoothly transfer the call, and having the choice of a cold transfer or warm transfer, has made it easier to make sure any incoming calls are brought to the correct person. Overall I have enjoyed using Talkdesk, despite only using it minimally. I would certainly use it again if I had the need to. I only stopped using it regularly because my job duties have changed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been unable to save contacts outside of the Company Talkdesk, which makes it more difficult to reach back out to staff that call me. It is possible that there is a way to do this that I am simply unaware of, but in my experience using Talkdesk I have not found a way. Generally speaking though I did not have any reason to dislike Talkdesk. I did only use the most basic functions of the program though, so there would likely be more that I liked and disliked if I utilized more of the potential of Talkdesk.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A problem I am solving is increasing our ability to help field agents, and being able to use talk desk to receive and transfer calls from the field agents is a big benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It does more than you think! Try exploring all that Talk desk can do, and you may find things that can benefit you and/or your company that you never even thought of.

TalkDesk has the potential to be amazing. Extremely beneficial even when used incorrectly.

  • July 13, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's very convienent to navigate through the interface. Transferring calls is simple, straightforward, and easy to do with minimal risk of errors. Being able to look up the contact I'm trying to reach in case I don't have a phone number readily available was an absolute gift. Especially considering that the frequently contacted staff in my department contain over 300 names and numbers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The distribution channels were set up incorrectly in my office and it was quite a headache. Not necessarily the fault of TalkDesk though. This was EXTREMELY frustrating to deal with however and that alone would make me hesitant to utilize TalkDesk just because I'm a little gunshy now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solved the issue with communication between our Headquarters and our 'boots on the ground' staff. Having the ability to ring up any of the staff in the field and have a shared line that ~200 people can dial to get in contact with my team. Removing the "excuse" of not being able to reach someone in office gave our processes tremedous bounds forward in terms of efficiency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to set up your inbound/outline distribution lines correctly. If this is done, every employee in your department will be content utilizing TalkDesk (I assume). It's quick to pick up, easy to use,

It gets the job done

  • July 13, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's very self-explanatory and easy to use. Simple to transfer calls and set statuses. The callbar app is very user-friendly. Although I do not personally set up new ring groups or phone lines on TalkDesk, I have requested for them to be made, and it seems like a very quick and easy process based on how quickly my requests have been completed by our IT department.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't particularly appreciate that when you transfer a call to someone else, there is not a confirmation screen that pops up. It's very easy to accidentally transfer to the wrong person, because one click ends your call and already moves it on to someone else.

I also wish you could mute or opt out of a call without preventing the call from continuing to ring for others within the ring group. Maybe you can and it just isn't immediately obvious how to do so. I always just wait until the call ends or until someone else picks up if I am busy and haven't yet set my status to Away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
TalkDesk makes it easy to have multiple phone lines within our company and makes it simple to transfer these calls to other departments should someone call the wrong number. I love having an app to select ring groups from, rather than having to dial extensions to transfer calls. Having the visual on my computer in front of me of who is calling and where I can send a call is very helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Call transfer confirmation popups are the only thing I wish were present on TalkDesk that aren't-- I have no issues otherwise, so I recommend the service.
