User Testimonials
Nextiva Contact CenterTalkdesk
Likelihood to Recommend
We have over 50 locations and an in-house call center, so having a united platform to perform customer service duties is absolutely critical. Nextiva Contact Center is a very effective solution for large teams and multi-location businesses. If you need to regularly report on call volume and agent performance, it is extremely helpful. A very small team may not benefit from it as much as a medium to large scale one.

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.

Pros
  • Nextiva allows you to set up the Contact Center to fit your exact needs.
  • The Contact Center has a consistency of quality. Dropped calls or interrupted calls are very rare. The voice quality is always great on both ends.
  • The Contact Center allows us to have a Call Center with 50+ numbers to assist our customers and attendees. At the same time, it allows us to have a main line for our Customer Support, Sales, etc...

  • 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.

Cons
  • I'd like to be able block numbers globally through the web portal rather than having it done through tech support.
  • Mobile app sometimes continues to ring even though the call has been picked up via the desktop app or physical phone.

  • 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

Outside of emails, Nextiva is the only way to contact our customers and their attendees, and the only way that they can contact us. We are a smaller company, but with Nextiva we can operate and manage our contact center easily no matter how much our company grows in the future. Nextiva is a versatile tool that can fit any need

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

Usability
We take advantage of all the options we have with Nextiva to make our customer's experience better and faster than what it used to be; by using the multiple lines, we can talk to more patients and make their time valuable.

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.

Support Rating
Every single experience with the Nextiva Contact Center has been beyond amazing! The support team is always caring and kind, and they get the problem solved as soon as possible if needed. They always follow up to make sure the issue has been resolved. That's one of the reasons why I have been a customer for so long.

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.

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
