Freshdesk Contact Center vs. Talkdesk

One of FreshDesk Contact Center's greatest strengths is that it can centralize all of a company's channels for communicating with customers. Additionally, you get access to a large number of free collaborators seats, enabling you to bring on board non-customer support team members who may play an indirect role in handling client concerns. Offering an omnichannel experience to our staff and consumers eliminates the need to juggle numerous tools for handling customer service issues. In addition, we may direct customer service interactions like tickets, chats, and phone calls according to predetermined guidelines.

Talkdesk does an excellent job with productivity reports. I can monitor my agent's lives during calls and their current status, allowing me to affect them productively at that moment. I can also download a productivity report on Talkdesk to analyze historical data and see patterns and problems.

• Routes parent request directly to our admin department
• Allows you to set up chats
• Allows you to measure how well you are doing

Incentivized

• Receives calls immediately and connects well.
• Making outbound calls and having Talkdesk display the name associated with the number.
• Aux on break, lunch, or meeting, and it stays as it is and does not change status on its own.
• Being able to check on colleagues on whether they are available.
• Able to track your work for the day, the amount of calls you made and received.
• Being able to check your Daily and monthly score from QA.

• The UX and UI could use an upgrade.
• The process could be better when importing a hard line into the system.
• We could use more additional reporting features.

Incentivized

• The core maintenance, migration and deployment of Voice prompts, functions alongwith flow changes is crucial and is a key missing feature. Development in Production was a shocker and led to lot of confusion and limitation during the implementation and testing.
• The AI feature is not as supported and reliable in Non English language
• The Support team seems very lean to handle heavy loads of issue thereby delaying the resolution of the issue. One of our critical issue took almost 2 months to resolve which could have been handled better by proactively driving the issue from talkdesk end.
• The support ticket does not have any escalation process. It needs to add the severity/ impact to number of agents and have people to support escalation especially involving Call Quality/network/Reporting/storage

Talkdesk is an enterprise grade solution for telephony service. Zendesk eould be the only other option in terms of solutions I have implemented and seen in practice. It is easy for business users to learn how to use talkdesk and develop call routing paths dependong on the nature of the customer's request

It's a really simple and affordable software solution if you're looking to upgrade your system or processes to a softphone. The service has been fantastic for both our outbound sales team and our inbound customer service team. As a manager, I'm really grateful I found FreshCaller early on in the process of evaluating companies to go to for a softphone.

It's good for monitoring and quality checking. Overall, I'm happy with Talk Desk. Call quality is great, recordings are high quality, and playback has no issues. Administrator features are well-designed. Talkdesk is a great platform for our Customer support. It has many features and is an omnichannel platform. I like the IVR design the most; it has a lot of functionality to customise interactions between agents and customers.

Talkdesk is very handy but, sometimes we do face issues were the system can just kick you out and not be able to do calls or receive calls but, what I like about the system once you start refreshing or troubleshooting, everything becomes normal it is a unique system and very modern we don't usually have system issues with Talkdesk.

I give this system a full 10/10 once you refresh or troubleshoot you do not wait for too long to use it . It easy like ABC . I honestly recommend this system, even when you check the QA score card, you do not have to wait that long; you just click on the notification bell and view your score card.

Freshcaller support is great. They will respond very quickly once I submit a ticket. On occasion, they are unable to answer a question and require a deep dive on some research for random questions but that's completely understandable. Overall, great service, great quality, and very accommodating. This is one of the better support groups, in my opinion.

If Talkdesk had a dedicated phone support line I would have given this rating an overall 10. Their knowledge base is absolutely HUGE and at times very helpful. It's easy to search through and their customer support chat system works perfectly fine, but there are just some times that you need to speak to a human on the phone to ensure you are always on the same page.

The training that was given to us was very smooth and professional. I give my trainer 10/ 10 rate the training was so smooth and very helpful she would make sure we also watch videos of how to use the system which made it very easier for us and what was interesting it is because, the system is also easy.

Nothing is perfect!! Needing the ability to repeat the training so everyone was on board was important. Not real sure how many people had to repeat the training as they trained on their own and given 30 minutes at a time.

Really easy to get set up out of the box. Anything I needed to understand further, I was able to just hop into the Academy and self-teach. I could then bring my team-members to those same sections so they could learn as well without me having to put together complicated SOP's / etc

We selected Freshdesk Contact Center because it proved to be easier to use not only for us but for the parents who call our school as well. Our parent complaints of not being able to reach our admin department have significantly decreased. I think Freshdesk Contact Center stacks up against Cisco in that the ease of use is better and the price is more efficient.

Call recordings, quality assessments, feedback, coaching, and monitoring, the call flow is effortless and painless, changing statuses from after-call work is updated to be qued so you cannot change after aftercall work is finished, shows you the company metrics, SLA, abandonment, number of calls taken and record occupancy for you and the team. Many more features make Talkdesk an innovative software compared to its competitors.

We have over 200 employees in 11 states across the United States. Everyone uses Talkdesk. I believe that says a lot about the product and its flexibility. We need to be able to rely on system in order to assist our customers. Reliability and sustainability is important to our success

• Overpriced for what it offered - we paid nearly $600/month for 10 users. Could not drop them fast enough for this reason alone.

Incentivized

• Better reporting than we had with the previous system. Better metrics = better analytics.
• WFM and QA being modules within the tool have improved how we manage agent performance, which has let to improvements in overall quality.
• Has been a key component as we continue to mature the service desk organization.
