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 have been able to use call recordings for training as well as perform staff performance evaluations."
"Calabrio ONE has increased agent satisfaction to a great extent."
"The reliability of Calabrio ONE for recording has positively impacted our organization, as we are using it for multiple partners."
"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."
"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 features and capabilities of Genesys Cloud CX that I have found most valuable so far include its omni-channel support."
"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."
"Its comprehensive single application includes everything from reporting to IVR and workflows."
"Genesys is brilliant concerning stability."
"What's most valuable in Genesys Cloud is that it's easier to use because everything is already built. Another valuable feature of Genesys Cloud is drag-and-drop."
"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

"Data migration support would have been helpful. Skill groups/mapping was very difficult to understand."
"A few of the features were "nice to have" features, but version 9.3 had some "deficiencies"."
"The biggest issue that we have come across is the messaging where we receive Time Off Requests."
"15 minute intervals across the solution would be of great value."
"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."
"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."
"Try and correct bugs prior to release."
"I believe the implementation needs improvement, the implementation of integration."
"Pricing is the biggest criterion for improvement. If I compare the pricing between Amazon Connect and Genesys Cloud CX, there is a huge difference."
"The tool's pricing could be more flexible, and there should be clearer indications of consumption and fair usage policies."
"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."
"There is always a chance for improvement with all CRM tools, and as of now, I suggest we need advanced customization in the architecture without the code flow."
"The whole process of creating an agent is quite long and automating quite a bit of that would be very helpful."
"Process automation in Genesys Cloud is an area for improvement. It's quite a new feature and still has room for improvement."
"Reporting isn't the best feature of Genesys Cloud and could be improved. You can't customize reports and applications on Genesys Cloud."
