    Product Configurability Praised, Yet Optional Extras Lead to Investment Uncertainty

    5.0
    Feb 9, 2026
    From initial engagement Talkdesk were really easy to collaborate with and we got the best feel from compared to other vendors. It definitely feels like a partnership and a product that is evolving quickly. We are very happy with the decision we made in going with Talkdesk (and Call Tower as the Telephony provider). Talkdesk really helped us find a solution that matched our specific use cases and are fantastic to work with. For a company that had come from legacy tech it was a whole new world for us and trying to find the right configuration of the solution and understanding what we were buying was a challenge for us. We learned and ended up investing more than planned but the investment is definitely worth it and will be transformational for us.

Dislike

The complexity and lack of guardrails. Talkdesk is powerful, but it is easy to misconfigure and hard to know what right looks like without very strong implementation and admin support. When things are off, it impacts reporting, routing and agent experience quickly and takes too long to diagnose.
