(Original )Information
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.

What do you like best about Talisma?

Talisma is great for monitoring and sorting data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talisma?

Talisma, when used as a sales CRM for a large population, is slow to load. Up to 30 seconds or more just to change selection from one field to another that are both already visible on the same search pane. I would not recommend for use in a call center due to the excessive time required while changing from one lead to another. The change to Talisma ushered a total change to the way in which the sales department of my current company completes day to day activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Talisma:

Not effective for a call center environment where staff is expected to place more than 80 or so calls per day. Especially if they need to be placed in succession. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability to monitor and sort the data is incredibly valuable from a management perspective. Just be sure that your front line employee will not suffer such a productivity loss as we did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Talisma?

When working for a local non-profit college a few years ago we used Talisma. This program would alert us when potential students would express interest in our school. If a student filled out an interest card on our school site then it would upload to Talisma and we would reach out to them. We could then log our notes on the conversation with Student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talisma?

It was sometimes hard to navigate the system. It was a little hard to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Talisma:

Making it more user friendly. It was a little hard to learn the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It keep the data and notes we put in on each student. It worked out for what we were using it for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can track every interaction someone has with a particular student and we can see if they're opening our email campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The intent of Talisma was to be used for tracking our potential student pool base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Talisma?

I liked that we could customize mass communications easily using information already in our bridged databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talisma?

Somewhat clunky program. Access to a lot of information and ad hoc reporting, but knowing where to find the information you need can be a challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Large amounts of emails received, needing to "spread the wealth" automatically to multiple users, while customers can use one email address. The most beneficial aspect, though, was the mass communications. Frequently we had to send communications referencing specific items in our databases, and the ease with which we could if/then tailor the communication by customer type, age, location, assigned office representative, etc. was phenomenal.
