Reliable call recording has protected critical interactions and supports ongoing workflow insights

I am not aware if it has already been done, but a well-integrated application for Calabrio ONE that would not require us to change the licenses every time we need to change or add a user would be a better way to add new users and move existing users to other buckets. I feel it is not a 10 because the UI interface is not that impressive yet. It would be better if there were a handbook that lets us know what makes Calabrio ONE stand out among the two or three major players in this field, such as NICE and Verint. Customer support for Calabrio ONE was not that great, but it is acceptable. I would love to see Calabrio ONE's offices in Pune, India.

Omnichannel contact center has unified customer interactions and delivers smarter routing

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Our agents have the functionality for partial coverage, this allows them to customize their schedule and still meet our SLA's."

"Calabrio's learning curve is very short, the user interface is extremely easy to use, and I could not be happier with this product."

"The flexibility of scheduling through dynamic availability, work shifts, and dynamic scheduling is invaluable."

"The ability to customize evaluation forms to organizational needs has been tremendous."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to reach out to Calabrio with questions and suggestions."

"The Copy Schedule Activities has been a favorite tool. It reduces time spent when I need to make changes which are identical to multiple agents' schedules."

"The dynamic scheduling functionality allows the agents to be more empowered which was not an option on our previous tool."

"By being able to manage better the time of the agents, and the ease of use thru intraday management, we have been able to move adherence goals from 80 to 85%, and we know that we can even bring it up to 90% in the near future, that alone has made our 6 locations that much more effective, resulting in better customer service for our patients and families."

More Calabrio ONE pros

"What's most valuable in Genesys Cloud is that it's easier to use because everything is already built. Another valuable feature of Genesys Cloud is drag-and-drop."

"Genesys Cloud CX platform's unified interface has improved agent efficiency a lot; compared to other platforms, it contributes about 40 percent to agent efficiency since agents do not have to toggle between multiple screens, allowing them to focus on the solution and respond to customers effectively."

"Genesys Cloud CX is a capable application that allows me to use any app or multiple apps, so I can work with any other applications efficiently."

"The latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."

"The integration capabilities are very good. It is API-based and offers prebuilt integrations."

"The stability is really good."

"We have seen a very good return on investment using Genesys Cloud CX, achieving growth of 117% this fiscal year, which is beyond our expectations, mainly due to customer retention and onboarding."

"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."

More Genesys Cloud CX pros

Cons

"What's currently limited is a forum for UK customer to share best practices with and to utilize these connections to ensure that we are using the system to its full capability."

"The built-in reporting is not comprehensive or intuitive."

"Some of the Cisco features have not fully migrated to the Avaya platform."

"We would like to see the backend SQL server improved for High Availability."

"There is a need for a lunch and break auto optimization."

"I think Calabrio has a lot of potential but the day to day scheduling functions take too many steps."

"It would be nice if this product supported operating systems other than Windows. Some work is needed on better support of multiple browsers."

"Gamification: We need help developing it, and what is currently shown is not enough."

More Calabrio ONE cons

"There is always a chance for improvement with all CRM tools, and as of now, I suggest we need advanced customization in the architecture without the code flow."

"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."

"For the HIPAA instance where we use Genesys as a carrier, we face multiple issues. In that instance, calls are not consistent."

"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."

"In terms of cost-effectiveness, I find Genesys Cloud CX provides overall ROI benefits; however, after the first year, customers usually expect lower pricing at the time of renewal."

"I believe the implementation needs improvement, the implementation of integration."

"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."

"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
