    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.

    We use Five9 as a tool to make and receive calls from various departments such as Customer Service, Underwriting, Claims, and others. It's a tool that has helped us complete various tasks to contact our customers. It has also allowed us to replace Zoom Phone, as it makes it easier to assign new contact numbers to agents, while Zoom Phone only allows reusing numbers. It's a good tool with an easy-to-use interface for new users.

    Pros
    Verint
    • 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.

    • Inbound and outbound calls it process is so well.
    • The service is so good and they give very efficient support in customer need.
    • The calls we can do in Five9 include incoming, outgoing, voicemails and we can also send a note to a specific person. It's a very reliable mode of communication.

    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.

    • Text. Texting is incredibly difficult on Five9. We've had issues with only some texts logging to Salesforce, issues with threading of text conversations, and issues with having Salesforce contact information appear on the text widget (knowing who you are texting, not just their phone number).
    • The interface to "pause" is challenging. There are not good reminders to our reps to remember to pause or log out of Five9. If you forget to log out, this can affect stats about who worked the longest hours that day - and it's hard to know who actually was active on the phones.
    • Inbound voicemails are too-easily hidden. It's challenging for a lot of our reps to remember to check their inbound voicemails because it is hard to access them in the Five9 widget.

    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.

    Usability

    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.

    overall usability is very great. User friendly interface for agents within the Salesforce with the engage button. Easy to go offline and online. Very good Integrations with Salesforce helps lot of clients that implemented Salesforce. As it is cloud based, agents can access it from anywhere. While the agent experience is goof, as a technical person it is hard to manage with the Five9 VCC and also the reporting User Interface is bad and slow when there are large amount of records.

    The system's performance is great. Page loads quickly. Reports are generated quickly and sent to our email or FTP. The integration did not impact the performance of our other applications. We have not seen any drop in the performance of either applications since we performed the integration.

    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

    Five9's Customer Support team is also based in Manila Philippines, thus turnaround email response times for our reported issues are great for our requirements. Their CS agents also facilitate mobile calls to followup on outstanding issues and operate on a 24/7 schedule. We've also had experience working with the senior tech agents to investigate recurring issues to completion.

    I took the certification course for administrator and also received some tips while working with the developer during implementation. The UI was very intuitive, so I was able to figure out how things worked when I configured the users, skills, campaigns, IVR scripts. I worked with the Five9 AI team to beta test Agent Assist.

    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

    Initially selected Five9 but have since switched to RingCentral which has given us what we needed. Better CRM integration, simpler and in my opinion more robust reporting capabilities and the same omnichannel solution at a fraction of the cost

    It was very easy to add additional licenses. Once we placed the order, it was activated the following day. Since it's web-based, it's very quick to deploy across multiple sites.

    • 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.

    • Cost savings: Five9 replaced a premise-based outbound dialer and a different virtual call center solution for inbound.
    • Cost savings: Five9's voice over IP is less expensive than the land lines we were using.
    • Cost savings: Five9 requires significantly less management than our previous solutions.
