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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Real-time quality score notification."
"After using Calabrio ONE, I noticed measurable outcomes such as improved schedule adherence, reduced overtime costs, and reduced understaffing and overstaffing because the forecasts were more accurate."
"Calabrio ONE has positively impacted my organization by helping us with time management, scheduling shifts, and enhancing efficient workflows, and I can say that it is the game changer in that field."
"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."
"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."
"I was able to use Calabrio to provide data and analytics in a visually stimulating fashion which captured my audience's understanding with ease."
"Leadership is able to help new agents learn in real-time versus going back and reviewing."
"I have found the forecasting model to be very valuable."
"Genesys Cloud CX has very good training material and training – instructor-led training, self-paced training, and documentation – things are very organized and helpful."
"Genesys is brilliant concerning stability."
"Genesys Cloud is an excellent platform."
"The stability is really good."
"The latest version and updates have been great. It really has everything we need."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"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."
 

Cons

"Customer support for Calabrio ONE was not that great, but it is acceptable."
"The only area of improvement, in my opinion, would be faster loading times and faster search results."
"Some of the Cisco features have not fully migrated to the Avaya platform."
"Initially, we encountered a little stability issue."
"Additionally, there is some lag during scheduling and adherence processes; for instance, one agent might appear available right when they are scheduled in the CRM, but Calabrio ONE shows them as disconnected."
"I would like to see the ability to run an individual Agent on any given service queues without loosing any entered exceptions."
"Sometimes we get glitches in Calabrio ONE because the application gets closed or minimized automatically."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's pricing structure, as it is perceived to be less flexible than other solutions."
"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."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"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."
"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"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."
"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."
