I was supervising a team, and we handled all our phone calls and the necessary metrics from those calls. We were using TalkDesk to gather that information.

Allows us to leverage metrics and analyze long calls using additional add-ons
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
With TalkDesk, you can use add-ons, like extensions, from another application. TalkDesk allowed us to leverage metrics and analyze long calls using additional add-ons. I remember using Observe.AI, which was a game-changer for our project involving governmental information.
We needed to ensure compliance with specific regulations, which agents could mention at any point during a call. These calls often lasted around thirty minutes, making it extremely time-consuming to verify compliance manually. Observe.AI, with its artificial intelligence capabilities, could analyze the calls and confirm if the necessary information was mentioned, saving us a tremendous amount of time and effort.
I have used TalkDesk for standard metrics and reports, such as tracking call activity and performance.
What needs improvement?
While using TalkDesk, I noticed that sometimes the default color scheme, especially in night mode, wasn't suitable for elderly users. It was too bright and not user-friendly. We switched it to night mode, which helped.
We never experienced issues like the application not loading, failing to make calls, or crashing.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using TalkDesk for two years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We were about 25-30 people. We never had any issues related to TalkDesk.
How are customer service and support?
Compared to other technical services, its support is excellent. The response, how they address the issue, and their politeness stand out. They are very professional compared to other companies you call. With TalkDesk, they always know what to do because their program rarely has issues.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
I have used TalkDesk with different companies, and its ease of use depends on the company's setup. In one instance, we needed a key to send to someone, who then sent an email back, allowing us to configure the account to make calls.
As a supervisor, I received one email with all the necessary configurations and a second email with a link granting supervisor permissions.
What other advice do I have?
It's not complicated to understand. Even those with a basic understanding quickly grasped it. It's very user-friendly.
If they want an application for making calls and analyzing the information gathered from those calls or metrics, TalkDesk would be a great tool. If you have already implemented AI analysis, then the potential is limitless. The AI capabilities for analyzing and referencing calls are amazing.
Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Has efficient call routing feature and is useful to make and receive calls
What is our primary use case?
I am a call center agent, and we use the solution to make and receive calls.

What needs improvement?
Inbound calls are shaky, especially if your internet speed is not high. It happens because of the internet bandwidth. The solution must be stable for regions with slow internet speeds, such as South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya. It is because Africa doesn't have a good internet infrastructure.
