Calabrio WFM vs. Kronos Workforce Dimensions / UKG Dimensions (discontinued)

Calabrio Teleopti WFM is widely used in our organization, and once we've gotten the hang of it, it's very simple to use. We can manage the entries to each employee's task lists, plan the turns that each teleworker will cover, and swap turns as needed. We can also automate the completion of scheduled management tasks and calculate how much time each employee spends at the company. This application, in general, ensures increased productivity on the call center platform.

UKG Dimensions will work well with a company size of [fewer] than 10,000 employees.

Will the vendor has on their roadmap to increase the performance of the product, it is not at that point.

I have worked for other smaller companies that have just used excel sheets to manage scheduling and it was a complete mess. This is a complete and utter 180 in that scheduling is so simplified and creates/causes basically zero conflict among staff.
