What do you like best about Talisma?

One of the main things I like about Talisma is the feature where when someone calls in from a number that is on file, it pulls up the inquiry/file automatically; which is very efficient and professional. I also like the structure design and how interface friendly it is.

I also very much like the search criteria / categories. There are plenty of options to can utilize in locating a particular file / account. In addition, the ability to look up a file with partial data is a very nice feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talisma?

Some of the downsides to Talisma are that it can be slow to respond to commands. It is especially slow when you initially start it up for the 1st time after being shut down. Then as much as I like the auto file pop-up when someone calls in from a number on file, it sometimes does not work for some reason. Which is very frustrating and inefficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Talisma:

Talisma has some good and bad things about it. I hope they continue to explore other options and ways to improve their customer experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Talisma solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Talisma as our main inquiry platform where in which a prospective student would submit a online request for information, and thus a call back where one of our representatives can answer the prospective students questions, concerns, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Talisma?

I love how Talisma is integrated with the Avaya telephony software so when a student calls in with a phone number we have for them in Talisma, their talisma file auto-populates on a Talisma Phone window. I also love the ease of use of Talisma Analytics when it comes to creating and pulling queries in the Reports Manager Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talisma?

Since it's physical software and not in the cloud, Talisma is super slow. I do not know if it has to do with our database size but with that aside, the search features are incredibly slow, especially when looking up a phone number. When pulling up a talisma ID, it's pretty fast, that's the only exception. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Talisma:

If Talisma offers a cloud based version, go with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Talisma solving and how is that benefiting you?

Overall, Talisma is a good CRM but with some pain points. The problems best solved using Talisma occurs when I run Talisma analytics. The queries are the fastest way for me to assist with process improvements and program controls. There are thousands of leads that must be scrubbed for compliance purposes and Talisma analytics makes that possible through quick and efficient reports generation.

What do you like best about Talisma?

The option to manage one central, general email account and have various contributors (staff members) reply from that single address, instead of using the personal email account.

The possibility of seeing all previous interactions a specific client had (whether over email, the phone or in person) within our own organization, therefore avoiding run-around issues previously experienced by our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talisma?

The interface is not quite user-friendly (with a quite early 2000 feel to it) and you really got to know your way around because it is not exactly necessarily intuitive. However with practice, you do come to realize the full potential of the software (pulling up stats and data, creating massive email campaigns, and so forth). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Talisma:

Amazing time-saving tool to manage the contacts of your organization! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Talisma solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing customer relations with our huge student body (+ 40 000) in a single place, saving time and efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Talisma?

I appreciate the ability to do things in mass quantity - deleting emails, creating automated marketing campaigns, etc. I also appreciate the amount of data it holds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talisma?

I do not fee like it's an intuitive program - I understand fairly well after using it for 3 years, but it does not have a user-friendly interface. I often to have to explain where to find things to my coworkers who a bit older who are not as tech savvy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Talisma:

Make sure you have someone in your office/team who understands Talisma before purchasing it - it is something that needs detailed training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Talisma solving and how is that benefiting you?

When dealing with international students emailing, a lot of Talisma's automated emails get caught in their spam filters, before ever getting into their spam inboxes, thus the international applicant never receives the email. The best benefit is the way it is able to be a record keeper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
