What is Zendesk Talk?

Even in the age of emails, texts, and DMs, sometimes a problem is best solved by talking to a real human. Zendesk Talk connects a voice channel into Zendesk’s omnichannel solution—allowing agents to easily pick up the conversation from any channel and resolve complex issues faster. Businesses of all sizes can quickly deploy a voice solution tailored to their needs and easily adapt as their customer needs evolve.

What differentiates Zendesk Talk from other similar products?

Zendesk Talk integrates well with Zendesk CRM, so users can easily create a ticket associated with the call. If you're a Zendesk user, you'll appreciate using Zendesk Talk because you don't have to toggle between tools, as it is already embedded on Zendesk.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The fact that Zendesk Talk is embedded with Zendesk makes it easy for users to create and manage talks associated with each conversation that they have with their customers.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I guess that Zendesk Talk has limited options in terms of features (i.e. call conference).

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Zendesk Talk will be much appreciated as long as you also include purchasing Zendesk.
