Aircall vs Talkdesk: Which is a better fit?

James E.: My name is James. I am the Chief of Staff at Slurp. We have one to 50 employees, and my rating for Aircall is four out of five. Before Aircall, we were using Zendesk to call. The reason that we switched to Aircall was Zendesk was far too expensive for our business. Aircall was easy to implement and had extremely good live tracking of the team. Also, very, very easy to use inbuilt metrics to conduct analysis. Getting started with Aircall was extremely easy. The onboarding team helped us through every step to port our number from Zendesk to Aircall. And once we had the system up and running, it was extremely easy to set up user accounts onboard and train the team with the support of the Aircall onboarding team. I would strongly recommend the use of aircall, especially if you're using multinational phone systems. It supports calls across the globe with no functionality or additional requirements.

Bernard G.: I'm Bernard, Contact Center Cloud Consultant, and I rate the Talkdesk solution a four out of five. For more reviews and information about Talkdesk, click below. Before using the Talkdesk cloud solution, we were using a Nortel PBX with basic call hunting capabilities among different representatives. It just wasn't simply a good solution for us and a cloud solution is what we were looking for. Talkdesk was chosen after evaluating a few vendors because it provided our retail store the ability to integrate with our CRM system, which happens to be the Microsoft Dynamic Solution. ,When a customer calls in for a phone order, the Talkdesk solution would be able to identify who the customer is and integrate with the CRM and pull up their previous purchases. It would also automatically integrate and let us know which of our promotions are relevant for what they've bought in the past, a great opportunity to upsell the customer and make them satisfied by really knowing them better than ever before. Talkdesk was relatively easy to integrate with our CRM system. It required a little bit of input from the VAR in how to configure it. The basic queuing logic was definitely very easy to establish and that was up and running very quickly. The artificial intelligence capabilities were a bit hard to really grasp in terms of what can really be done in a production setting but, overall, our goals for having a live operating system among the agents was easily met and is in operation today. If you're evaluating a cloud-based contact center solution, I would put Talkdesk on your list of two or three providers to consider and to evaluate. You may want to look at inContact or NICE inContact and Five9 as well. The best thing of all three is that these are all very hungry, successful companies that are really wanting to earn your business and so you can play up one against another to get the best pricing available. Overall, all three of them will work extremely well with the most popular CRM systems of Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics and others but, generally speaking, I would say you want to discuss this with a VAR, if you have one, on which one they have worked with in the past. That will have greater success of having your CRM system implemented effectively and lead to a successful deployment. Overall, I think you will find that the Talkdesk solution absolutely can be made effective for almost any size business.
