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

This cloud based solution can improve and helps to establish better relationships with customers. It has very useful call monitoring and call analytics.
I love the ease of inner office connections and the reminders Fathom provides. I have been using this for over a year and love it.
Ashlee Garwood, in particular, is always helpful with an attitude to provide the best customer service at all times. Outstanding representative, outstanding product, and outstanding company.

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

Losing the computer network connection is one thing, losing the telephone connection while on the phone with a customer is more annoying.
Fathom customer service continues to maintain that the problem is on my side in the network. We have done EVERYTHING their tech support has requested and we continue to have phone reset problems.
Sometimes when I am out and about it is inconvenient that I cannot call out from my office phone.
