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.

A Powerful, Adaptable, and Constantly Evolving STT Solution for Voice Automation
Honestly, Deepgram has been exceptionally proactive in addressing the primary area that needed improvement. My main challenge was with the real-time detection of when a user has finished speaking in a live conversation, which is critical for a responsive voice bot. They directly solved this by releasing their Flux model. Because Flux is a recent release, I haven't yet had enough time to thoroughly test it and identify new limitations. At this stage, any "improvement" would be more of a "nice-to-have" feature rather than a fix for an existing problem. The core service is already very robust and meets all of our current needs. What additional features should be included in the next release? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Looking toward the future, here are a few features that could add even more value to an already excellent platform: * Advanced Built-in Analytics: While I can get the raw transcript and build my own analytics pipeline, it would be powerful to have features like sentiment analysis, emotion detection, or automatic summarization offered directly through the API. This would save significant development time. * More Granular Speaker Diarization: For calls with multiple participants, enhancing the real-time speaker diarization (labeling who is speaking) to be even more precise would be a fantastic addition for creating detailed call analyses. * Tighter Integration with TTS: Since Deepgram is also expanding into Text-to-Speech (TTS), offering a more seamlessly integrated STT-to-TTS pipeline could simplify the development stack for creating voice agents from start to finish. * Specialized, Pre-Trained Industry Models: While the general models are highly accurate, offering even more specialized, pre-trained models for specific industries like finance, healthcare, or legal-which are heavy on specific jargon-could push the accuracy even higher for those niche use cases.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Excellent."
"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."
"Calabrio WFM offers great insights on scheduling; what I like about the program the most is the coverage tray as this allows us to see our staffing deficits, shrinkage, and the reforecasting of our calls, helping us make real-time decisions while taking into account how it will affect staffing."
"Calabrio ONE has positively impacted our organization as the clients were happy with the implementation; they initially used NICE and switched to Calabrio ONE."
"Our agents have the functionality for partial coverage, this allows them to customize their schedule and still meet our SLA's."
"Overall I feel this is a great product with a fantastic support network with an exciting features roadmap ahead."
"Calabrio ONE has positively impacted my organization by helping us with time management, scheduling shifts, and enhancing efficient workflows, and I can say that it is the game changer in that field."
"Calabrio ONE positively impacts our organization by making adherence increase, even though scheduling takes the same amount of time."
"We have tracked a reduction of around 70% in the support cost and direct human interaction for support."
"Deepgram's transcription stands out compared to other solutions primarily due to its speed and accuracy; those are important points for me because not all providers or tools handled Spanish well, but Deepgram adjusted perfectly for that use case, and we also chose 11Labs voice, a South American voice, which worked very well with Deepgram."
"Deepgram's low latency transcription has greatly impacted my ability to deliver reliable voice agents and provided very good transcription."
"The best thing with Deepgram is they are continually evolving and doing a lot of market research, and they take feedback seriously."
"The best features of Deepgram for me are the level of transcription accuracy it provides and the amount of time it saves."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its speed of transcription, as it is one of the fastest tools, especially if you compare it to the second fastest solution that you can get, which is 20 times faster, so it is not just a marginally faster product."
"The ROI has been excellent; the cost is night and day compared to the cost of human transcription, and we're spending maybe a tenth of the cost we would if we were still doing manual transcriptions."
"The most valuable capabilities of Deepgram that I've found so far include low latency, as it offers less than 200 milliseconds, which is not provided by any other text-to-speech models."
 

Cons

"It would be nice if this product supported operating systems other than Windows. Some work is needed on better support of multiple browsers."
"The pain point I experienced with Calabrio ONE was with the PTO quotas, as I did not have the option to import the Excel files, meaning if I had 100 agents or 150 agents, I had to manually update the PTO quotas in the system, and if there would have been an option to import the PTO quota files in the same format, that would have been easy."
"I think Calabrio has a lot of potential but the day to day scheduling functions take too many steps."
"15 minute intervals across the solution would be of great value."
"The only area of improvement, in my opinion, would be faster loading times and faster search results."
"I would like to see the ability to run an individual Agent on any given service queues without loosing any entered exceptions."
"What's currently limited is a forum for UK customer to share best practices with and to utilize these connections to ensure that we are using the system to its full capability."
"Unfortunately, cell phone call recording is not available at this time."
"The solution does not properly identify the number of speakers."
"I would like it to be more accurate."
"When I had an AI interview for coding, Deepgram didn't capture the names of programming languages or well-known LLMs accurately all the time."
"Even though Deepgram has many customization options, I wish that Deepgram had voice cloning customization to a much larger extent."
"I would not recommend Deepgram to other users because it does not properly identify video communication."
"We've had issues in the past where it generates the transcript, and a lot of the text is duplicated."
"The area of live transcription could be improved. Sometimes, Deepgram's WebSocket is disposed of due to redundancy."
"Regarding improvements for Deepgram, I think the quality of the transcriptions could be enhanced, as the Spanish accent poses challenges, making it harder to transcribe some words, and considering additional accents from Chilean or Argentine speakers could improve the model's performance with local words."
