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.

Centralized event tracking has improved product analytics and simplified data workflows
I think Hightouch as a platform has a lot to offer. It is primarily a CRM or reverse ETL type of offering with a lot of AI bells and whistles. However, it feels to me that the entire events offering is a bit of a second-class citizen in the suite of tools they offer. I say this because a lot of the documentation is out of date, and we hit a few random edge cases when using the events platform, which felt a little raw compared to other, more mature event platforms. I would say the improvement here would be for them to spend a little more time and attention on the platform itself, or provide a little more TLC, especially from the events perspective.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has streamlined how we access and review recordings as well as assisted in making our evaluation process much easier."
"Easier for RT and TM's to view current adherence."
"Calabrio ONE definitely impacts our organization positively by being more efficient for us on the workforce management side."
"I have used many tools such as Verint, IEX, and Avaya, but I saw that Calabrio ONE was far better than other tools."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to reach out to Calabrio with questions and suggestions."
"Makes agent schedules more accessible and easy to use."
"Overall I feel this is a great product with a fantastic support network with an exciting features roadmap ahead."
"Calabrio ONE has positively impacted our organization as the clients were happy with the implementation; they initially used NICE and switched to Calabrio ONE."
"With campaigns like flat battery, for example, we have managed to save over six figures a year."
"We have had a positive impact from Hightouch, and one area where we had that impact is on the handling of customer data."
"The feature that made the biggest difference day-to-day is Hightouch's ability to create normalized, performant data models, which could truly aid enterprises dealing with a variety of data systems."
"There are definitely improvements in analytics quality because of the contracts they provide on the control plane, and there were also definite time savings."
"Hightouch's best features include a simple and easy-to-navigate user interface, which means there is not much of a learning curve involved, simplifying the process of setting it up and selecting desired fields along with using the query editor."
 

Cons

"Gamification: We need help developing it, and what is currently shown is not enough."
"We would like to see the backend SQL server improved for High Availability."
"It sometimes needs quite clunky work arounds for certain things, e.g. If I add exceptions into agent schedules such as holidays or long term sickness, it's not easy to just delete them."
"Reporting and email notifications to agent when they have received evaluations of their call recordings."
"Some of these new scheduling options are just that, new. So, updates are happening to ensure the product functions the way it was intended."
"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."
"The biggest issue that we have come across is the messaging where we receive Time Off Requests."
"The only thing I would say for improvement in Calabrio ONE is the meetings feature that we talked about. Sometimes it doesn't schedule everyone even though there are blocks available, and I'm not sure if it's due to staffing constraints or if the tool just doesn't take into account that it could move breaks a little bit."
"Hightouch can be improved in a number of areas, but one of them is being on the applicability in small users and organizations."
"However, it feels to me that the entire events offering is a bit of a second-class citizen in the suite of tools they offer."
"I still think it is a bit clunky in some areas and it can be improved further; it is not a perfect tool yet, but it definitely does as advertised."
"Hightouch is a mature product, although it still needs to catch up with leading CDPs."
