    Chose Homebase
    Homebase is simpler to use. Easier to navigate and is much cheaper than other alternatives! We had trouble when I worked as they were harder to reach our ROI. Deputy was too expensive and it was the reason we decided on Homebase! Employees also find it easy to use on their end!

    The WFM part of the platform is highly effective when properly set-up to allow for workforce and capacity planning, SLA monitoring around capacity, and agent accessibility and usage. The flexibility in the platform improves agent retention and morale, and the guardrails support regarding business rules prevent abuse. It can be extended through other tools via API (which we have used) and those areas have greatly assisted in our ability to address complex situations with our teams. That said, the Insights component of the platform has some room to grow in direct data analytics. There are formulas and functions that could be created to inject more complex logic and data-types in the previous Data-Explorer platform, even if the ease of building rich dashboards is greatly improved. If you have a data point that you want to monitor in conjunction with your agent data that requires much more complex logic to evaluate in a regulated way, you would need to build on data imports into the platform after calculating it else where, given this. Insights is overall an improvement, but less tools in the toolbox means niche situations suffer.

    Connecteam is great for distributed teams; the messaging feature is good for DMs and group messaging. Sending updates to relevant staff groups is very easy with Connecteam. Furthermore, having required acknowledgements on updates is paramount for compliance and ensuring all employees have received and understood new information that was sent to the team

    Homebase is a very cost-effective program that does a good job tracking employee hours as well as what employees are working on. It is extremely easy to use and has a lot of self-service features, which give employees information at their fingertips. Homebase integrates well with our payroll provider.

    Pros

    • Calabrio focuses on the needs of the customer. They really want to know how they can advance their product.
    • Calabrio has made it easy for our end-users to be involved in the QA process. Agents regularly are in Calabrio listening to their calls and reviewing their evaluations.
    • Love the Calabrio Champions Network that gives all users a way to stay in touch with new happenings in the IT world as well as within Calabrio.

    • It is very easy to use!
    • It remembers the days employees ask for off when making future schedules.
    • Is amazing at keeping track of employees schedules! Especially in a restaurant/bar setting!
    • The reminders an hour before to remember to go to work are helpful!

    Cons
    Verint
    • WorkForce Management - it has recently come to my attention that the people in my company who are using the WFM portion of the suite are less happy with it. Apparently the reporting features and exact requirements needed are not being met by the product.
    • Fail over functionality for on-prem SQL configurations is completely lacking. It is our one weak spot in the Calabrio ONE chain.
    • Contact with customers. I know that sounds weird for a company who prides itself on its ability to listen and strengthen customer relations - but sometimes within a company (mine) there is less than "quality communication" between IT and business ends of the company. Calabrio does a great job talking with IT, but I think our business side has missed having the same quality of service - may be due to our own failures at communication. Not sure, honestly.

    • Adding the ability for employee to be able to set up their own reminders would be beneficial for those that seem to forget to clock in or out

    Homebase
    • The messaging features in Homebase are not consistent across the platform. In the app you can mass message everyone, however using the website you cannot, at least not at the price point that we are using.
    • The roles for employees and how to navigate them can be confusing especially when trying to schedule one employee in two different departments.
    • The separation of departments is a bit rigid and makes it difficult for universal employees to be scheduled easily.

    Some challenges lately since the Verint acquisition. The support has been lacking, and the rush to innovation breaks things constantly. There are features that are missing, such as easy intraday adjustments, especially when you manage 100 services per day.

    The system usability is easy to find contacts, dig into call recordings and find what went well and what needs improvement. I like the ability to record screen captures across multiple screens in order to help understand what agents need help or guidance with.

    Homebase is very easy to use. Not a lot of training or direction is needed to get it going. Easy feature to track employee hours. Able to use centrally located tablets for employees to clock in and out. A very cost-effective system that also saves time when processing payroll. Employees love its features.

    Because, it took them time to coordinate back some updates for us when we had to report a few major issues. ie Volume data feed for our Email support/channel. I like the webinars, however to keep the community alive. I hope they improve the training modules too and how they training new WFM guys as part of their package

    I have approximately a decade of experience using the aspect Workforce management software package. aspect has many power user functions that are not available in Calabrio. The strength of aspect is that is has extensive power user options. The drawback to aspect is that to be a proficient user of the software will take many months of hands on training. I often find myself comparing the pro/cons of the two solutions. That being said, I'd like to see Calabrio add more automation that will remove the need to perform many tasks that at the moment must be done manually

    • Targeting 90 seconds savings on manual notes, which is substantial. Those savings will allow us to handle more contacts without adding staff.
    • Analytics will give us insights that allow us to make more educated decisions on future direction and provide data to make adjustments to improve both the Customer and Agent experiences.

    • Before Connecteam I hated "Payroll Mondays" because it took a few hours to do everyone's time and upload it for the accountant. Now it takes maybe 15 mintues to do the entire process. I feel like it is more accurate and definitely less time-consuming - saving me money in the long run.
    • Connecteam has also allowed for quick glance time management to reduce overtime. Having accurate info allowing us to redeploy team members as needed and get other off the clock sooner. Or if we are having OT it is not a surprise - we can plan for it
    • Our accountant has love the reporting and has even recommended it to other small business because it provides all the info needed.

    • Homebase has made the day to day management of employees easier, freeing up time for management to work on other things that help secure customer satisfaction.
    • It has also made payroll easier since it's implementation and allowed for fewer mistakes than the previous manual method, leading to less monetary mistakes and happier employees.
    • Homebase has made monitoring hours and overtime, as well as completion of internship and volunteer hours, much easier to monitor, leading to less confusion and more satisfied volunteers, interns, and payroll managers
