Operation Planning Associate at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

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.

Quotes from Members

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

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

"The customer service has been excellent, and we have received excellent remote and on site support."

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

"Calabrio ONE has positively impacted our organization as the clients were happy with the implementation; they initially used NICE and switched to Calabrio ONE."

"Makes agent schedules more accessible and easy to use."

"Calabrio ONE is a great product, is user friendly, and has great customer service."

More Calabrio ONE pros

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

"It would be nice if this product supported operating systems other than Windows. Some work is needed on better support of multiple browsers."

"Multi-skill scheduling and forecast is not available."

"A few of the features were "nice to have" features, but version 9.3 had some "deficiencies"."

"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."

"Try and correct bugs prior to release."

"We would like to see the backend SQL server improved for High Availability."

More Calabrio ONE cons
