Workforce Management Specialist at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees
I use the reporting tool and forecasting to help me determine where improvements are needed.
What is most valuable?
I use the reporting tool and forecasting to help me determine where improvements are needed.
How has it helped my organization?
Having the ability to choose and save the order of the metrics on the reporting tool has allowed me to standardize some reports.

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

How are customer service and technical 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

Workforce Management Analyst at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees
Areas I like about the product include dynamic scheduling, workflows and evaluator goals.
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.
How has it helped my organization?
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.

Reporting does need some improvement.

The feature which is the most valuable at this time is the support.
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.

They were familiar with our requests as previous customers had requests like ours. Most requests nowadays are standard across the board, so there was nothing really new.

QM for 15 months and WFM for 12 months.

Vendor team - 6/10
Calabrio deployment team - 10/10
