Pros

Overall, TalkDesk is a wonderful product. Its simplicity and ease of use at the user level makes it a great fit for our Contact Center.
I love the flexibility of what the product is able to do to help our business. I also love the reporting features.
Good desktop app, user-friendly, good quality of sound, good customer service, integrated with Salesforce.

Pros

The seamless integration between the VOIP handsets and mobile app has been great. Call quality has always been clear.
Works great on mobile and desktop. The call quality was overall consistently good and it did integrate with Salesforce.
Very pleased with the overall experience, 8x8 is an amazing tool for Contact Center and call-driven interactions, keep in mind you will still need a softphone software to sync it with.

Cons

It has been one issue after another. I have lost several clients because of oversights and we're beyond frustrated with the lack of support and features we were told were possible.
Unable to place on hold and transfer, you need to mute the call and then transfer. This can be a bit awkward for the caller since they will just hear silence until the transfer has been initiated.
Often times, I find that Talkdesk disconnects my calls or availability for a call. There are times when the Call Dispositions fail or my call will drop and I will have to restart my Talkdesk.

Cons

Obviously a cheap off-shore call center. I tried their support chat last time and it was worse - on hold forever and huge delay between replies while they obviously worked other chats.
Couple times I had a problem with people who called me in. They told me they could not hear me.
Terrible quality for seemingly no reason. Setting up a new phone is a real task when you have centers in other cities/states.

you have to be on the report screen to accept calls, sometimes I am on the sentiment screen and would like to accept the calls but I have to scroll all the way up and go back on reporting to accept the call which makes my call answering time longer

Talkdesk has helped me during my customer experience agent career, and continues to do so as I now have to use it for data/management.

Pros

Easy to use and very user-friendly. I used to get a lot of calls during the day but never experienced significant issues, quality is good overall. I was able to pick up those calls very quickly and made my work easier, having multiple tabs open at the same time. It is also very organized, would recommend it.

Cons

It is glitchy at times but simply resetting the computer makes it work perfectly again most of the time.
