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.

Call reviews have boosted follow-ups and coaching but still need richer local insights and training
One of the things that I mentioned is the information that Gong has here in Brazil. I think there are other generative AIs that have good information, providing good information about the companies. Gong in this field is a bit not ahead. It has to improve more. One point that I would like to see in Gong in the future would be to have more information about Brazilian companies that could help our life in sales. Gong should be more updated and be more full of information about our specific market. The points that I already mentioned, which are the updates and the information updates that are not really updated, are why it wouldn't be a 10. Another point of not being a 10 is the training that we have from Gong. I've never seen a person from Gong talking with us, giving us training or providing videos or training specific for sales in Gong. It depends on us to navigate in Gong, but we don't have much information and training that I think would be nice for us to have.

Pros

"Overall I feel this is a great product with a fantastic support network with an exciting features roadmap ahead."
"Easier for RT and TM's to view current adherence."
"Calabrio ONE impacted my organization positively by making it really easy to keep track of each and everything, such as PTO quotas, AHT, volume, adherence, and agent performances, so it was just really easy to capture all the details and see what the trends are, how the data is behaving, and it helped the organization gain a gold standard in our yearly reviews."
"The Analytics software has been fantastic for the contact center."
"The customer service has been excellent, and we have received excellent remote and on site support."

"Gong has positively impacted my organization by allowing anyone to be able to look into processes, learn more about what our customers are saying, learn from each other, and share things throughout the organization."
"My advice to others looking into using Gong is to go for it; it's really easy to use, the recordings are very good, it has transcripts, and I can ask something about the call, and it will generate the answer with AI."
"The summaries and analysis Gong provides are really good, especially compared to some others that I get, as the analysis from Zoom is often too long and does not really hit all the main points, while Gong knows how to summarize it pretty well."
"Gong has positively impacted my organization because as customer success managers and sales team members, we all have quite a few accounts."
"Gong has positively impacted my organization by improving efficiency, helping our renewal rate, and enabling us to analyze and share client touchpoints internally to quickly address cross-departmental issues that might affect retention."

Cons

"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."
"It would be nice if this product supported operating systems other than Windows. Some work is needed on better support of multiple browsers."
"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."
"Calabrio ONE needs many improvements from a high-level view."
"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."
"Calabrio ONE's user interface is a bit slow, but this issue likely stems from our internet package rather than the application."
"Gamification: We need help developing it, and what is currently shown is not enough."
"Give agents the ability to cancel approved requests for time off. Vacation plans do actually change in the real world."
"I think there are other generative AIs that have good information, providing good information about the companies. Gong in this field is a bit not ahead; it has to improve more."
"Gong can be improved with the follow-up email feature."
"Gong does not integrate well within Microsoft Teams calendars; sometimes the extension gets missed out and it does not get added to the meetings easily, so that is the major drawback that I have seen across."
"I think the external sharing might need some work, as if Gong had the ability to edit the calls."
"I wish the AI summaries were more accurate, and it would be nice if there were a way to include what a customer says about a specific topic in the AI summary."
"These features might actually exist, but I never really use them since when I did, they weren't great."
"I would improve the interface for searching themes or words in the history of calls and emails."
"Gong could be improved with a little bit better AI on the follow-ups, as I still find myself using Gong AI-generated follow-up emails with my own parameters in ChatGPT."
