It was being used by our Customer Service team. It addressed the CS WFM in general ie Inbound forecasting for our multi channeled CS support
  • Forecasting
  • RTA
  • Scheduling
  • Scheduling a group of agents for a type of off-queue activity wasn't a function
  • An FTE projection as per SLA
  • A more in-depth training modules could help
Their forecasting module is great and is ready for a multi-channeled contact center from a scheduling perspective. I like how they automatically schedule a particular skill based on the staffing demand for hybrid agents and how they put up multiple views on the Forecast vs Actual report. Kudos!

We use it primarily for audio and screen recordings for our call centers. Those calls get evaluated for quality control and regulation purposes. It is basically used as a QM product for us.
  • The audio and screen recordings are done well at least with the collaboration with the Cisco platform.
  • The platform is stable and does not fail much. The most resilient program for screen capture I have seen so far and I have used four platforms for QM.
  • It is customizable and management of the platform is not that difficult.
  • The platform at my current levels does not support NAT, not sure if the latest versions do.
  • The service when running is resilient but can fail to start up sometimes, especially when there are windows updates that happen. A delayed service start did the trick for us regarding this disadvantage.
  • The storage of files could have a better file structure based on date/time.
If you are looking for an in house resilient product that does screen recordings well, this is your product. It works well with Cisco

Calabrio ONE WFM v9.3

Calabrio One is being used by a few departments, not company-wide. We have both AQM and WFM modules. I don't regularly use AQM, so this review is for WFM only. I have been using it since mid-year 2016. We replaced our prior WFM software with Calabrio as part of a multi-system upgrade in Dec 2015. There are some positives and some negatives switching from our former WFM software to Calabrio. Part of the problem is we have an older version of Calabrio WFM. I believe the newer version(s) will rid me of some work-arounds I've had to create when we changed software. We are due to upgrade to a newer version in Dec 2018.
  • The Copy Schedule feature has definitely been a plus. We did not have that feature in our former WFM software.
  • The particular window views for the Scheduler Role are more aesthetic/user friendly than our former WFM software.
  • Being able to add activities, exceptions or projects in as little as 5 minute increments is a plus.
  • Our Version 9.3 needs a lot of improvement with sorting, filtering capabilities that I believe later versions address.
  • Version 9.3 does not send notice emails to agents when a schedule has been changed. Our former software did. I believe newer versions have this feature.
  • No "what if" function or module to test schedules/forecasts without Agents seeing their own schedules. If you want to "play with" scenarios, you have to use a time frame/schedule far into the future to prevent Agents from seeing this. I don't believe any of the newer versions have addressed this problem/issue.
  • Agents are not able to submit Shift Preferences in Calabrio. Our former WFM software had that capability. Now I have to record Agents' preferences on an Excel spreadsheet and schedule regular intervals for which they can submit their preferences.
There is no way to revise/update an Agent's schedule for one week at a time. The Views are nice: you can see a Day View or Week View, but are unable to edit in the View Mode. The Month View I found nearly useless as it does not show enough detail. I don't use it. It is wasted space. Using the dashboard for real time adherence is fine if you are just checking on a few Agents, but you are unable to view more than about 10 Agents at a time without having several small windows. Because of that, the dashboard is useless to me. I do like the Copy Schedule Activities function, as well as the Copy Work Shift function. Both of those functions have saved me time.

Our quality assurance team utilizes Calabrio to evaluate calls that our counselors are making. This helps us to uphold GCU's policies, procedures, and service standards.
  • Great customer service!
  • They listen to our feedback to implement new feature requests.
  • They hold a convention each year which provides educational and networking opportunities.
  • It would be great to see Calabrio add a feature for chat teams. We can create an evaluation for those on our chat team but we have to view the actual chat interactions in a different system.
I spend my entire day working out of Calabrio ONE. It is easy to navigate, great for pulling data/analytics, the customer support has been amazing, and the system is continuously rolling out new features. The slow down feature has been helpful when listening to valuable information that may be stated too quickly by the caller. The speed up feature is great when listening to long durations.

Calabrio One has allowed our company to listen and evaluate over 5,000 calls a month. Our quality assurance department uses Calabrio as their main system for daily use. We also train all new employees on the use of Calabrio, so they can also listen to their calls and view their scored evaluations.
  • 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.
  • Reporting, we often pull reports directly from the Recording Tab since it allows for more data.
  • Goals, we are currently working tandem with Calabrio to create a way for Goals to work for our organization.
  • I would like to see a few small changes with how the hierarchy is set up when creating teams and groups within the system.
Calabrio has been great for our education environment. We have the ability to access live calls, recorded calls and evaluate based on the duration of calls. I would like to see the Reporting tab transformed and allow for more customizable reports. Overall, we have had success with Calabrio and we look forward to our partnership.

We are currently using Calabrio ONE Quality Management (QM) company wide - with a few exceptions here and there. It helps address legal issues involving claims and statements pertaining thereto. We also have a couple of departments using the WorkForce Management portion of their suite as well. That has helped us get scheduling issues worked out and hammered down more directly and allowed us to focus our resources in other areas.
  • Quality Management (call recordings, evaluations of said calls) is an area where Calabrio has done a particularly good job. It is a solid product and they continue to refine it.
  • Customer Service - since we purchased the product, customer service has always been spot on for Calabrio - they have worked hard to ensure their existing customers remain happy while continuing to evolve and bring on new customers.
  • Innovation - with their ear to the ground, so to speak, Calabrio forges ahead and does a great job of implementing features per customer requests and makes every effort to ensure the needs are taken care of either via API or upgrade feature.
  • 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.
If your company uses phones and needs recordings, the Calabrio ONE Quality Management is for you. Period. End of argument. It is hands down one of the best products of its type on the market. If you don't have a bunch of people you are needing to rotate through scheduling and no part time people, the WorkForce Management portion may not be for you as much as someone who has 200 employees in a contact center working across 3 shifts and needs to ensure phones are always covered at the right times.
