Improved agent adherence and scheduling have boosted satisfaction but reporting still needs real time
In terms of improvements for Calabrio ONE, since I do not work with forecasting, I think we could collaborate AWS with Calabrio ONE to get live data fed into Calabrio ONE, which would be even greater for forecasting. We pull the majority of our reports through Calabrio ONE, and something I have noticed is that for the intraday report, if we want to pull data at 12:30, we have to wait until 12:45. It is a 15-minute refresher window, which is lagging behind. This delay is the same for any report being pulled. I do not have a grand overview of forecasting, but it generally takes a long time, and my agents have not been able to collaborate AWS with Calabrio ONE in the forecasting aspect. Apart from that, everything else is working great on Calabrio ONE. I would love it if it was more real-time and if I could download the data almost immediately without waiting for that 15-minute buffer. I rate Calabrio ONE a seven because I feel it could be improved. As I mentioned, the 15-minute buffer is an issue, and the real-time feeding into forecasting could be better. If we could control Shift Bags within Calabrio ONE instead of using another application like Teleopti to manage Shift Bags or control overall shifts, that would be even better. Right now, we use a combination of Teleopti and Calabrio ONE to decide the Shift Bags. The quantity and quality of results provided by Calabrio ONE are accurate 95 percent of the time. The forecasting feature in the application might not be the most accurate, which is an area where we do have issues, especially when scheduling breaks at intervals where calls might be at a higher volume. Those are rigged. Apart from that, since breaks and other meetings get allotted automatically, we do have to manually move them around because that forecasting is not accurate. If that could be improved, it would be great.

Regarding scripters, I should clarify that Genesys Cloud CX dashboards provide real-time data, showing call counts, satisfaction levels, and pending interactions in the queue. Agents can see their workload and know when to take breaks, with managers benefiting from comprehensive team management. We also created dashboards tailored for point-of-sale locations managed by Genesys Cloud CX, and overall, we have been very satisfied. However, I should note that the dashboards are somewhat basic in functionality, making it challenging for an agent to build visually appealing dashboards compared to other market solutions where drag-and-drop features are simpler. My overall experience with Genesys Cloud CX has been positive but should be seen in perspective, as nothing is purely black or white; there are shades of gray. While the metrics and system capabilities reflected success, our goal in implementing Genesys Cloud CX was to standardize processes. Thus, we faced challenges related to change management due to the tool's complexity. It required extensive training, especially for predictive elements, because it is a business-class tool not suited for everyone and often demands several months of training.

Pros

"Calabrio ONE is a great tool to use with multiple features that allow me to add schedules very easily and onboard users in bulk."

"I have found the forecasting model to be very valuable."
"The customer service has been excellent, and we have received excellent remote and on site support."
"Calabrio ONE impacted my organization positively by making it really easy to keep track of each and everything, such as PTO quotas, AHT, volume, adherence, and agent performances, so it was just really easy to capture all the details and see what the trends are, how the data is behaving, and it helped the organization gain a gold standard in our yearly reviews."
"Real-time quality score notification."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to reach out to Calabrio with questions and suggestions."
"I have found the video capture to be the most valuable feature."
"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."
"The stability is really good."
"Genesys Cloud CX has impacted my organization positively by decreasing the efforts required, the management is easy, I need less manpower to manage this solution, and I can even hand over a few tasks to the one who is using this platform."

Cons

"The only issue I have found with Calabrio is the WFM side."
"Try and correct bugs prior to release."
"Not needing to reboot every day when recordings are an issue."
"A few of the features were "nice to have" features, but version 9.3 had some "deficiencies"."
"It would be nice if this product supported operating systems other than Windows. Some work is needed on better support of multiple browsers."
"I was told they are looking into adding chat evaluations as a feature in Calabrio. Right now, I can create an evaluation to grade chat interactions, but I have to view the actual interaction in a different system."
"Sometimes we get glitches in Calabrio ONE because the application gets closed or minimized automatically."
"Customer Service: At first, they were great. Since my initial encounters, it is a hit and miss and really comes down to the agent or technician assigned to help you."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
"Each week, the Genesys Cloud CX team is releasing new improvements, and Genesys Cloud CX is constantly creating new enhancements, so I always have to learn more about Genesys Cloud CX weekly."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"The customer support for Genesys Cloud CX is a little bit slower for me, and I am not sure why."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
