Find out what your peers are saying about Calabrio, Verint, NICE and others in Workforce Engagement Management. Updated: June 2026.
902,495 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

Minor issues, nothing major. The issues were fixed quickly.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't experienced any stability issues aside from the occasional server lag, however it is very minimal.

How are customer service and support?

Customer Service:

Calabrio takes care of their customers very well they really want to make sure you are extremely satisfied with your experience using the products. They are really quick to assist and answer any questions that you may have. 10 out of 10.

Technical Support:

As mentioned above, they are very helpful they want to make sure you are satisfied they will listen to your ideas will try and implement those updates on the upcoming version.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Calabrio has been the only product I have ever used and it works well with the needs of the company.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward, they provided training coupons for us to use learn the different roles for us to get certified.

What about the implementation team?

Initially through a vendor however our in house team are now able to implement them.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is fair they will really work with you to reach and agreeable price they really want your business.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Calabrio was already implemented in our company, I did not research any others.

What other advice do I have?

The solution has evolved for the better since I first started using it. Each version offers better features I hope that they keep evolving and allow for more customization such as being able to pull reports that show scheduled activities vs actual taken breaks this way we could have a better picture of why the agents adherence is being hindered

Areas I like about the product include dynamic scheduling, workflows and evaluator goals.
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

    What is most valuable?

    It's hard just to pick one area that I like about the product, because they have heard the needs of the customer, and almost everything we were looking in a WFO software they have... dynamic scheduling, workflows, evaluator goals... and I know that if there is something that the software does not do now, chances are that I will see it soon in the near future.

    They have a lot of features that I love… If I had to pick two, it would be… in WFM the workflows ( I do automatic PTO handling thru those) and in QM the Evaluator goals, it picks random calls for the evaluators and sends them to their queue, so they no longer have to spend time looking for calls.

    The feature which is the most valuable at this time is the support.
    Pros and Cons
    • "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."
    • "Try and correct bugs prior to release."

    Valuable Features

    It is difficult at this exact time to say which features are the most valuable as we are going from a no software to a full suite with Calabria. The feature which is the most valuable at this time is the support. When I refer to the support, I am referring to the support from all aspects of Calabrio; this support starts from the Sales team, to the implementation team, to the trainers. They are all willing to support us through the entire process. It is very nice to see the support there.

    Has streamlined how we access and review recordings.
    Pros and Cons
    • "It has streamlined how we access and review recordings as well as assisted in making our evaluation process much easier."
    • "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."

    Screen recording and scheduling.

    How has it helped my organization?

    It has streamlined how we access and review recordings as well as assisted in making our evaluation process much easier.

    What needs improvement?

    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.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    QM for 15 months and WFM for 12 months.

    What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

    Deployment was fairly smooth overall, most issues were attributed to larger issues with the new phone system that was going live the same weekend.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Once or twice there have been issues with access or recordings, support always stepped up to assist as needed.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The initial build out was aiming low, so we had to add additional recording servers. It went very well.

    Customer Service:

    10/10

    Technical Support:

    8/10 - some tech support agents are better than others.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    Old solution was much more manual and more prone to failure.

    How was the initial setup?

    Simple and complex. We were setting up a failover site at the same time, so making sure everything was replicating between the two was somewhat tricky.

    What about the implementation team?

    Vendor team - 6/10

    Calabrio deployment team - 10/10

    What other advice do I have?

    Get in it and work with it.... it can and will be your best friend!

    The dynamic scheduling functionality allows the agents to be more empowered. The day to day scheduling functions take too many steps.
    Pros and Cons
    • "The dynamic scheduling functionality allows the agents to be more empowered which was not an option on our previous tool."
    • "I think Calabrio has a lot of potential but the day to day scheduling functions take too many steps."

    Valuable Features

    Calabrio is open to feedback and so far has reacted quickly with changes.

    Improvements to My Organization

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

    Room for Improvement

    I think Calabrio has a lot of potential but the day to day scheduling functions take too many steps. I'd like for their product developers & decision makers to work in our call center for a week using the tool. I think it would give them a great perspective of where to go forward. The dashboard has potential but it's hard for management to use it as is. I've heard some user interface changes are in process so I hope to see improvement in the next big release.

    Use of Solution

    One year.

    Deployment Issues

    Yes, but Calabrio has been responsive to challenges.

    Customer Service and Technical Support

    They have been very knowledgeable and responsive.

    I wasn't involved in the deployment of the solution. However, ongoing configuration is smooth with great support from Calabrio.

    All suppliers we dealt with, and calabrio themselves were excellent.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    Project your costs forward.
