We have been able to use call recordings for training as well as perform staff performance evaluations.
Pros and Cons
  • "We have been able to use call recordings for training as well as perform staff performance evaluations."
  • "Reporting and email notifications to agent when they have received evaluations of their call recordings."

What is most valuable?

Call recording and evaluation.

How has it helped my organization?

We have been able to use call recordings for training as well as perform staff performance evaluations.

What needs improvement?

Reporting and email notifications to agent when they have received evaluations of their call recordings.

Our business users indicate that the reports generated could be 'better'. As I am the administrator, I'm not quite sure what reports they are looking for or how they can be improved.

The other item was, they would like the recorded agents to receive notification via email when their call evaluation is complete. Currently, with the 9.2 release, the agents need to log into Calabrio to check they have any evaluations to review.

For how long have I used the solution?

Since 2012.

902,495 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We experienced minimal deployment issues but were met with the highest level of support to resolve them from Calabrio representatives.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No, but stability of any vendor provided application is only as good as your designed network.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No, we currently have 535 agents using AQM.

How are customer service and support?

Customer Service:

Calabrio representatives work in conjunction with our VoIP service/support vendor to ensure our needs are met.

Technical Support:

Our organization is unique in that we first work through our in-house technical staff before contacting our service vendor who in turn contacts Calabrio if necessary. Whenever we have needed to engage Calabrio engineers the support has been acceptable.

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

No.

How was the initial setup?

Quite straightforward. However, after using the software we found that we probably didn't need to put all our agents into AQM licensing and could have gotten by with basic call recording licenses to save money.

What about the implementation team?

I believe our implementation was more through in-house with support from vendor team. I think it would have been better to utilize the expertise of Calabrio for the initial implementation and then use our internal techs for any additional implementations. We may have had better understanding of the features/functionality of the software utilizing Calabrio more on the initial implementation.

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

Make sure you know what type of licensing you need. Do you just need to record calls? Will you be using call evaluation forms?

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

No.

What other advice do I have?

Make sure you have someone that has an understanding of this type of software and what the business needs are. If you go into purchasing a product that your vendor has shown you, chances are they presented all the bells and whistles of the product and your business may not need everything or vice versa, you may think you are getting all the bells and whistles but you didn't purchase the whole package.

We reach out to Calabrio with questions and suggestions.
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the ability to reach out to Calabrio with questions and suggestions."
  • "Gamification: We need help developing it, and what is currently shown is not enough."

Valuable Features

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

Room for Improvement

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

They have introduced gamification in the latest release, and although we don’t have it yet - it is still in our testing lab - it seems like they don’t have much set up for it. Our thoughts on gamification were that there would be levels and ‘badges’ that can be earned that we could customize based on our forms.

Use of Solution

I have used it for four years.

Deployment Issues

We encounter deployment issues, but our IT team works with Calabrio to minimize them.

Stability Issues

Our IT team works with Calabrio on stability issues.

Customer Service and Technical Support

Customer Service:

Customer service is very good; at conferences, they are very receptive.

Technical Support:

Technical support is good; we go through our IT team, so they would be a better judge.

We value the flexibility of scheduling through dynamic availability, work shifts, and dynamic scheduling.
Pros and Cons
  • "The flexibility of scheduling through dynamic availability, work shifts, and dynamic scheduling is invaluable."
  • "Some of these new scheduling options are just that, new. So, updates are happening to ensure the product functions the way it was intended."

Valuable Features:

The flexibility of scheduling through dynamic availability, work shifts, and dynamic scheduling is invaluable.  They have something to fit each type of agent we have.  Our work from home team is very large and this allows us to maximize them fully.

Improvements to My Organization:

We have been able to use their software to solve our agents needs for flexible scheduling.  Our agents wanted the ability to choose their hours and still meet the needs of our customers.  The Dynamic scheduling allows our WFM team to insert shifts when we need them and the work from home team can sign up when they would like to work.

Room for Improvement:

Some of these new scheduling options are just that, new.  So, updates are happening to ensure the product functions the way it was intended.  Calabrio has been great at support to address these areas.
