Talkdesk is fantastic. I love how user friendly is it. Very easy to use.More companies should use it
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to use. It is very tech-friendly. I like the sidebar they let you use. I use the talk desk every day because it's a part of my everyday task. I think more companies should use it for their communication. Talk desk is new for me and it's pretty easy to use once you understand how everything works. I believe talkdesk is the future of communications for higher educations and other sectors. Whoever thought of this idea is a genius. When the pandemic hit it is very hard for companies to communicate with each other. It is a great product for big companies to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it logs me off the server without my permission. It logs me off and I don't realize I'm offline. Sometimes it runs a little slow. But it works pretty well for what I need it to do. I've been using it every and I'm getting used to it. I think there can be more areas where you can customize your display. Maybe add some type of chat feature as well. There wasn't much about the software that I didn't really like. I would just add more features for my customers. Maybe add a webpage. Giving the user more control is always better for a product. I
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Talk desk helps me stay organized.I solve so many different problems with talk desk. I'm able to manage my calls and be more organized. I know a lot of my coworker enjoy using it as well. I love that you can go back to original calls and listen to them. We do that at least once a week. It helps us stay sharp with our contacts and stay engaged. Talkdesk has helped me so much with my job. More companies should use it

Good Product with a lot of room for improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Call Quality and ease of use for the standard user. Overall the system works well for a creative and forget-it system. If you are a large company that is constantly changing their phone system it is not the best.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Admin console and reporting (What you pay all the money for) is not that good. Every time they release a new feature 5 things break that previously worked just fine. We are running almost all legacy features at this point as the new features are not fully fleshed out and tested before release. Overall I like that most of the company is consists of developers, but there are major issues they need to review before rolling code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefit is in ease of use for the end user. it is a very small and simple application with no fluff. Unfortunately, Talkdesk causes more issues then is solves.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go in with proper expectations. The system is not magic, it works well and well once configured properly, but there is a lot of trial and error with that initial setup.
I enjoy it

Sometimes the app glitches, but I close the window, and it starts working fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy to call clients and communicate with them without using a phone. The benefits are that everything is on the computer.

It's easier to use rather than a phone and more hi-tech.

Great for Customer Service - Terrible for Backoffice
What do you like best about the product?
It is a pretty smooth experience for our Customer Service team, but for our back office users, which is the majority of users that we needed to have on the system, it's not great. It is nice to have a cloud based system, though. Our old system was on a dying Linux server and it was just awful. So really, coming from that will make anything modern seem good. So, I guess that's a good thing.
What do you dislike about the product?
As described above, the Backoffice part of Talkdesk is in need of some HUGE changes. I keep being told that eventually our SIP phones will be usable on the system, which will be great for our back office employees. But for now, it's not good. No one has an individual voicemail inbox. Most users forget to log into the Callbar application, because it's something they didn't have to do with the phones before.
Honestly, I feel like the people trying to sell us Talkdesk didn't take into full consideration our company and situation, and they just wanted to make a sale, so it didn't matter that I told them we needed individual agent extensions and voicemail inboxes. They just kept saying "Yeah, it'll do that". Major No Man's Sky vibes from them.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a cloud based phone system so that people could make and take calls when not in the office. The issues we have been having though is people not knowing how to use Callbar very well. Plus, Callbar has quite a few issues of its own. It seems to change the default mic settings quite often for users, especially if they have headphones they unplug and plug into their computers regularly, Callbar just gets confused by it. It's also annoying to have settings that affect EVERYONE on the system. It would be nice to have user groups that people can be put into, and then change settings for those groups (like having a customer service group that you can say their default status is Offline, but everyone else their default is Online).
Just make sure you ask for a trial so that you know exactly what you're getting. Don't just listen to the sales people. They'll say anything they have to to make a sale. Try the system out, make sure it's going to do what you need, and they go based on what you ACTUALLY see.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be aware, billing for Talkdesk is really weird. I felt like I had to fight with Talkdesk just to auto-charge my card. Normally they want to have you put money into your account, and then they charge the account, and if you go under, you lose service, but if you over-fund, when your contract is up and if you have the extra money in your account, they won't refund you. I had to email them about ten times to finally get them to just charge the card on file the EXACT amount that was needed each month. It was a huge pain. Also, keep in mind that if you're wanting this for back office stuff where people have their own extensions and voicemail inboxes, the extensions are a pain to deal with, and individual voicemail inboxes are nonexistent.
Even if they tell you that eventually, the system will do stuff, take it with a grain of salt. Remember, you're paying for what they offer, not what they promise. And if they promise that EVENTUALLY, the system will have a certain feature, don't buy just because of that. Sure they may eventually implement something that will make the experience better. But if it's not currently a part of the system, don't just buy on a promise. Buy on what is actually a part of the system the day you're signing the contract. Cause even if they promise something, they could make a whole new pricing tier, and you just won't get that feature they said they'd implement because you're not paying them enough.

Good phone system, Salesforce integration could use work.
What do you like best about the product?
The call quality has been good, and the call recordings are great. The Sales team has seems happy with it. Their CS team has been fantastic to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Salesforce integration is too inflexible. You can use it to create Salesforce tasks, but it's clunky, doesn't let you write to custom fields unless they're picklists. Their 'Talkdesk Activity' custom object is actually good, but it requires having a totally different methodology for reporting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted a phone system that would be softphone based and record our team's calls, which Talkdesk has been great for. Also integrated nicely with Gong.
Great company

Good customer service, easy onboarding, easy to use

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before we had 8x8 and we also had dropped calls and bad technical support. We've seen a marked improvement.
