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

"Our agents have the functionality for partial coverage, this allows them to customize their schedule and still meet our SLA's."

"We are able to address compliance issues more quickly."

"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."

"We are now able to monitor and review agent's calls to improve call experience."

"Currently the feature we are loving is screen recording."

"We used Excel prior to having Calabrio; this tool has made our lives so much easier."

"I have found the video capture to be the most valuable feature."

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

More Calabrio ONE pros

"The integration capabilities are very good. It is API-based and offers prebuilt integrations."

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

"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 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."

"What's most valuable in Genesys Cloud is that it's a complete cloud solution, so it's reliable and 99.99% available. It's also elastic. Genesys Cloud also has chatbots, which I find valuable."

"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."

"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."

"Predictive engagement and gamification are valuable features with good inbound functionality."

More Genesys Cloud CX pros

Cons

"Try and correct bugs prior to release."

"The only area of improvement, in my opinion, would be faster loading times and faster search results."

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

"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."

"I think Calabrio has a lot of potential but the day to day scheduling functions take too many steps."

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

"Need a column for hours scheduled on main page."

"15 minute intervals across the solution would be of great value."

More Calabrio ONE cons

"Issues can happen during technical troubleshooting, which is completely out of our hands compared to the on-premise solution."

"Their WFM product is still pretty immature."

"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."

"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."

"One area for improvement in Genesys Cloud is providing users with more autonomy in troubleshooting and accessing logs."

"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."

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

"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
