"Evaluating Talkdesk: Strengths, Weaknesses, and User Experience"
What do you like best about Talkdesk?

Talkdesk enables communication through voice, SMS, email, chat, and social media, all from a single, unified interface. Agents have access to previous interactions across these channels, which means customers don’t need to repeat information. Additionally, the platform offers real-time dashboards, such as Talkdesk Live, as well as historical reporting through Talkdesk Explore. This allows supervisors and managers to monitor performance, identify trends, and make operational adjustments as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkdesk?

Some features (omnichannel, advanced workflows, analytics, etc.) require paying for higher tiers or add-ons, which drives up total cost, and also, reports are not flexible enough, filtering is limited, or getting the specific metrics/data they want requires extra steps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're glad to hear that you appreciate Talkdesk's unified interface and real-time dashboards. We strive to make communication seamless and efficient for both agents and customers. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

"Talkdesk has empowered our contact center to grow and succeed"
What do you like best about Talkdesk?

What I like best about Talkdesk is its intuitive and user-friendly interface. The UI is clean, well organized, and easy to navigate, which makes onboarding new team members much smoother. Everything feels accessible without being overwhelming, and important tools are just a click away.

Another upside is the reliability and scalability of the system. Whether it’s handling higher call volumes or integrating with our other tools, Talkdesk has been dependable and flexible. This combination of ease of use and robust functionality really sets it apart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkdesk?

There are moments where reporting could be a bit more flexible. Certain metrics or views require manual adjustment to get the exact insights we need. These aren’t major issues, and overall Talkdesk support has been helpful when questions come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Aunalisa Arellano of Talkdesk

"The best way to work with colleagues, customers, and make your day better!"
What do you like best about Talkdesk?

The most helpful thing about talkdesk is how reliable that it is, you are able to always know that you can speak to a customer and they are able to call in and speak with us. As well as, how easy it is to access each function of it. I am able to always locate each area of work that I need to be in, how to make calls, being able to transfer, and I like how creative and colorful that it is.

"Keeping My Sanity (and Call Queue) in Check"
What do you like best about Talkdesk?

What I like most about Talkdesk? It works. Like actually works.

Calls come through clear, I can see what’s going on with my team in real time, and I don’t have to click through 97 tabs to find basic info. It keeps things organized without being annoying or overcomplicated.

I also love being able to see everyone's status—mostly so I can silently judge who's been in “After Call Work” for a suspicious amount of time (you know who you are). The reporting is solid too, and helps me keep track of team performance without having to build some wild spreadsheet from scratch.

Basically, it does its job so I can do mine—and that’s all I really need from a system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkdesk?

If I had to pick something I don’t love about Talkdesk, it’s that sometimes it moves a little slower than I do—which is saying a lot on a Monday morning.

There are moments when switching between screens or pulling up info takes just long enough to make me question if I clicked anything at all. Not a dealbreaker, just mildly inconvenient when I’m juggling ten things and trying to pretend I’ve got it all under control.

Also, some of the deeper reporting feels like it was built by someone who really loves spreadsheets. I appreciate the data, truly—but I’d love if a few things were just a bit more straightforward. Sometimes I just want the numbers without feeling like I need a decoder ring.

Nothing major—but these little things definitely stand out when you’re in the thick of a busy day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Aunalisa Arellano of Talkdesk

We're thrilled to hear that Talkdesk is helping you manage your customer service team more effectively and efficiently. It's great to know that you find the system to be organized and user-friendly, and that it provides clear call quality and real-time visibility into your team's activities. We appreciate your feedback about the slower performance and the complexity of some reporting features, and we'll definitely take that into consideration for future improvements. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

"Awesome features, easy to use & easy to adapt!"
What do you like best about Talkdesk?

Talk desk is extremely helpful with the copilot future because while taking a call, there’s sometimes I don’t understand what the customer says, and I can easily look at copilot and 99% of the time it is accurate on what the customer meant to say. Talkdesk is also amazing due to the fact that, English being my second language, it is very easy to understand any instructions to follow while being how to set up or how to fix an issue and talkdesk. Talkdesk is amazing to use and recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Always Getting Better and Better"
What do you like best about Talkdesk?

I absolutely love Talkdesk. As a call center manager with over six years of experience, I can confidently say it's the best phone system we've ever used. It's incredibly user-friendly, packed with powerful features like Co-Pilot and AI, and constantly evolving with new innovations. Talkdesk has truly elevated the way our call center operates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkdesk?

Honestly, I can’t think of any downsides. If anything, I probably just need to explore more—like figuring out how to make it bilingual. That’s likely already a feature I haven’t tapped into yet. The platform is so robust, and I’m continually impressed by everything it offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Most of the times, work great!"
What do you like best about Talkdesk?

Most of the time, it works really well, the call quality is excellent, and it works perfectly even in other countries, which is amazing. I think the main thing is the co-pilot — without a doubt, it’s a HUGE help during calls. The co-pilot really changed everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkdesk?

"As I said, most of the time it works well, and when it does, it’s perfect. But unfortunately, TalkDesk has major bugs quite frequently — like being unable to transfer calls, calls dropping, or certain data not updating (such as online agents) — and this happens often, so it becomes a serious issue. I believe that especially when a new update is released, bugs show up. Every time I see an update in the app, I already think to myself, 'Let’s see what the bugs will be this time.' I understand that the platform needs to constantly improve and evolve, but without a doubt, the priority should be keeping the basics working before trying to launch new and more advanced features in an update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Aunalisa Arellano of Talkdesk

We're glad to hear that you've had a positive experience with Talkdesk, especially with the call quality and its performance in other countries. We understand your frustration with the bugs and issues you've encountered, and we're continuously working to improve the platform's stability and reliability. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we'll strive to prioritize the core functionality while implementing new features in future updates.
