The feature which is the most valuable at this time is the support.

Valuable Features

It is difficult at this exact time to say which features are the most valuable as we are going from a no software to a full suite with Calabria. The feature which is the most valuable at this time is the support. When I refer to the support, I am referring to the support from all aspects of Calabrio; this support starts from the Sales team, to the implementation team, to the trainers. They are all willing to support us through the entire process. It is very nice to see the support there.


Improvements to My Organization

I do not have examples yet, but I know the functions in our company are being streamlined and this will make all tasks and jobs easier.

Room for Improvement

Try and correct bugs prior to release.

Use of Solution

We just purchased the entire one suite.

Deployment Issues

We have run into a few bugs that the developers are aware of and are making the necessary fixes.

Scalability Issues

None.

Customer Service and Technical Support

Customer Service:

They were familiar with our requests as previous customers had requests like ours. Most requests nowadays are standard across the board, so there was nothing really new.

Makes agent schedules more accessible and easy to use.

What is most valuable?

Assigning exceptions so that I can assign to multiple people across more than one day.

How has it helped my organization?

Makes agent schedules more accessible and easy to use.

What needs improvement?

It sometimes needs quite clunky work arounds for certain things, e.g. If I add exceptions into agent schedules such as holidays or long term sickness, it's not easy to just delete them. I would like to see an option where you can delete the exceptions and the schedule reverts back to how it was before (breaks and lunch etc) without having to run the entire departments shifts.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used this contact center optimization solution for nearly 2 years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

No.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It has crashed a couple of times but may be a server issue.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Change of tactics.

How was the initial setup?

Yes, but I wasn't initially involved.
