Mattersight Behavioral Analytics (discontinued) vs. Talkdesk

IF it is cruicial in your organization to have the internal conversations recorded, this is NOT the product for you. If you do not need that, the savings in time by the software analyzing calls in a way where you can search for specific incidents is fantastic. The training on personality types and how to work with each one is also a great tool for any organization. I can say if it weren't for the rep to rep recording piece, I would give this product a 9.

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.

Incentivized

• Easy-to-use portal that helps users locate and review pertinent coaching opportunities.
• UI that is tailored to the company and displays key points within a call. This eliminates the need to listen to the entire call when looking for something specific (caller distress, rep empathy, etc.).
• Solid training that explains the Mattersight model and how to interact with different personality profiles.

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.

Incentivized

• Reporting and functionality isn't always consistent. This could be due to compatibility issues with the functionality of the software our company utilizes and what their system is recognizing.
• Help the our team come up with more specific actions we can take to improve our performance.
• Although we have had the same liaison for the past year or more, we have had 3-4 changes of account managers over the 8 years we have been using the system. I think we currently have the best person for the relationship.

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

Mattersight Behavioral Analytics has always shown great support to our organization. They are always willing to help and find new ways to improve our customer experience. The team we have with Mattersight has become part of our everyday work lives in which we value their business

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

Overall, navigating in the system is easy

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.

We have not had any issues with BA's availability. It is always up and running. The only issues we run into is staff not logging in everyday because they already have so many systems up as it is. Other than users, BA is great and is always there.

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.

The pages load very quickly. The reports are nice. I wish I could understand a little more about what is on the reports and what all the sections mean, but once you remove the information that is not needed the reports are easy to filter through and read. I do wish that we would get Outlook notification for comments and monitors.

Incentivized

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.

Mattersight gives great support. Every time I reach out to them I get a response within the hour, even if it is just to tell me that they will check into the issue. The staff always stays in contact and even after changes have been made or answers given they follow back up with you and make sure everything is going smoothly. The Mattersight team never makes you feel like you are burden and it feels that with every contact they grow a little more as well.

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.

This was a great class. We learned so much about the program and our team through the on-site training provided by Mattersight. The trainers were very professional and playful at the same time. They really brought the training to life. The trainers were great at answering all questions and making sure we could train our staff in the same professional, yet fun, manner.

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.

I love the roundtable meetings. This is a great way to come together with other companies that are also using the product. It is great to hear about how others train and hear some of their struggles and success stories, so we are able to make the best BA training out there.

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.

It was really nice to start slowly and train leadership and then slowly start implanting of BA to the staff. This helped with coaching and helped with new staff as they hit the floor. We found that this helped the staff relate and share stories to help with team dynamic. Great system.

Incentivized

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

The fact is, there is nothing like mattersight anywhere in the market. It's a complete package. It provides call recording, screen capturing, call analysis and continued training and improvement. However the thing that sets it apart most is really the Behavioral Model which has been developed. Because it's a proactical application model, it's actually useful for coaching and interaction with customers.

Incentivized

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.

This is such a great product.

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

• We believe we improved our customer service with our employees working with our customers and adapting to their styles.
• We improved our manager's efficiency selecting calls to monitor and conducting impactful coaching sessions.
• We had challenges determining a true ROI as we found it difficult/impossible to fully isolate Mattersight's impact to our bottom line. It was hard to attribute our lead conversion applications and revenue directly to Mattersight with several other external factors in play.

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.
