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.

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

"The most valuable feature is the ability to reach out to Calabrio with questions and suggestions."
"The reliability of Calabrio ONE for recording has positively impacted our organization, as we are using it for multiple partners."
"Calabrio ONE has positively impacted our organization as the clients were happy with the implementation; they initially used NICE and switched to Calabrio ONE."
"I find Calabrio ONE much more efficient than the system we were using before, which I cannot even remember the name of because it was that ineffective."
"I have used many tools such as Verint, IEX, and Avaya, but I saw that Calabrio ONE was far better than other tools."
"The dynamic scheduling functionality allows the agents to be more empowered which was not an option on our previous tool."
"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."
"We are now able to monitor and review agent's calls to improve call experience."
"The ROI is really good with some of our clients, as their profit margins have increased using the solution because of the additional contact they have with their clients."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"The most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."
"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."
"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 stability is really good."
"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 most valuable features include being an omnichannel solution with customer journey insights, full reporting, and continuous updates based on consumer feedback through their portal."
 

Cons

"Some of the Cisco features have not fully migrated to the Avaya platform."
"Calabrio ONE can be improved because the biggest challenge is that it is unnecessarily complicated, as the reporting and data exploration tools are somewhat complex for new users."
"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."
"Give agents the ability to cancel approved requests for time off. Vacation plans do actually change in the real world."
"Gamification: We need help developing it, and what is currently shown is not enough."
"I think Calabrio has a lot of potential but the day to day scheduling functions take too many steps."
"Being able to "publish" or rerun the schedule for only one agent would be ideal."
"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."
"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."
"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."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"AI still needs improvement when it comes to predictive engagement."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
"For the HIPAA instance where we use Genesys as a carrier, we face multiple issues. In that instance, calls are not consistent."
"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."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost depends on the type of license based on your organization's requirements and can get expensive."
