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

"Customer Service: The customer service is always very good."

"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."

"Easier for RT and TM's to view current adherence."

"Real-time quality score notification."

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

"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Excellent."

"The UI is slick."

"The feature which is the most valuable at this time is the support from all aspects of Calabrio, starting from the Sales team, to the implementation team, to the trainers, as they are all willing to support us through the entire process."

More Calabrio ONE pros

"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."

"The features and capabilities of Genesys Cloud CX that I have found most valuable so far include its omni-channel support."

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

"The integration of CTI within the IT system is a particularly valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature for me is the WFM tool."

"After implementing Genesys Cloud CX, we achieved a 97% call response rate compared to 80% with our previous self-service software, and customer surveys showed their call center experience improved from three stars to 4.2."

"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."

"Genesys is brilliant concerning stability."

More Genesys Cloud CX pros

Cons

"We have encountered stability issues. We had about six months where the program was crashing weekly."

"The only issue I have found with Calabrio is the WFM side."

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

"Some of these new scheduling options are just that, new. So, updates are happening to ensure the product functions the way it was intended."

"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."

"Data migration support would have been helpful. Skill groups/mapping was very difficult to understand."

"There have been some imperfections in the product, however, support has ALWAYS stepped up and assisted until resolved, even if it meant a patch or something."

"Customer support for Calabrio ONE was not that great, but it is acceptable."

More Calabrio ONE cons

"AI still needs improvement when it comes to predictive engagement."

"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."

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

"There is room for improvement in the solution's pricing structure, as it is perceived to be less flexible than other solutions."

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

"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."

More Genesys Cloud CX cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Genesys Cloud has pay-as-you-go pricing, so it's much cheaper than the on-premises solution. Apart from the standard fees, my company pays for Genesys support."

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

"The pricing is a bit expensive."

"I rate Genesys Cloud CX's pricing a one out of ten."
