This is our main reporting system and employee management system. we manage Quality Control, Turn Around Time control, and customer complaints handling backend management. we also use the data to maintain MIS reports and quality checking series on Playvox. it is our daily tool where every customer support agent getting his selected analyzed chat report with the customer. The quality assurance department mainly working on Playvox.
  • I am amazed with the features of Playvox, it is so easy to communicate with consignees.
  • It works effectively and is easy to edit save and view.
  • It is very lite on the network so even when at the same time many users are opening the same page it never gets stuck/hung up or slows down the network/internet.
  • just cache make it slower some time but overall its good
  • As such, if you ask, I am pretty happy as a user of Playvox. I never face any bug or error during my use.
  • I can tell only what i use its amazing fast and convenient.
  • Reporting database while we download in Excel showing some extra spaces that sometimes make hurdles but it can easily fix up there as well.
I have worked in multinational banks where I use lot of other software but it was never this easy to use and user-friendly. After I encountered Playvox, I always recommend it to all of my acquaintances. When we work in a big organization and there are work limits, we need to use this kind of light and complete program that can make daily work faster and easier.
  • My Business totally depends on Playvox. if its stops once we will lose many days.
  • Our client management and employees both are connected with this.
  • Our Quality Assurance department is totally dependent on Playvox daily reports.
Playvox is way different than other software. it is easy to use. reporting is instrumental and the selection of details is amazing. it means that we can customize the reporting. these features make it very different than other software competitively.

In our organization the Quality Assurance and Workforce management department. We use daily wise quality control assessments and reports with Playvox. Agents' incentives are based on their quality ratings. Every agent receives his daily performance reports and reviews. We can check daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly performance reports. It is easy to use and no special training is required.

It is actually our main client who has provided the platform to control quality and other workflows. It is a multinational organization that is working around the world in different countries.

I do not think my organization has and 2nd thought of changing the Playvox because I am sure they cannot find another option that is as easy and smooth. There is no other option at all. Playvox is being used here in every department and the company cannot run without this. Now it is a basic need of this business
Not Sure
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
Well! The most important thing in the software is the Product Features and Usability. The reputation automatically generated while it shows up its end-user results. We can buy with High price products if we are satisfied with their features and performance. Prior Experience with the products matter but we always have to test new ways of work to make it more easy and helpful for end-users. An organization cannot grow unless its software is easy and enhanced to meet the client's expectations.
Playvox is the greatest software I ever used. It allows you to manage create and edit custom fields. It allows you to generate reports and track the daily work of your employees. It gives you the possibility to not only categorize your employees but you can also track them separately. I am amazed by knowing that we can export excel sheets to add multiple users in one shot and when you experience that your mind will only say wow. Work can be this easy? Yes, this is Playvox.
  • Third-party professional services
As we are third-party or outsourced to the company. The main client has provided us this software to use.
No
  • As its a SaaS application so web browser settings.
  • Integrations.
  • A little bit of trainings.
From the day first, we were active on Playvox and happy with the features. It does not take much time to understand its features and its performance. A few training sessions with 'How to use' and we are experts using Playvox.
It is my pleasure to have an opportunity to give top ratings to Playvox. It made a small agent life easy that is earning very little for their family daily needs. It reduces his hard work to an easy daily routine. Playvox deserves these ratings. I would like to extend my congratulations to Playvox team on these great successes and good luck for the future.
I am sure my company has premium support for Playvox. I extremely understanding as our daily work depends on Playvox and if any technical issue were to happen or the full workflow broke and that ends up only on the solution of that issue. In my experience it doesn't take a long time. We just email our issue and in the next few hours we are back to work. It never has happened that it took so long to get resolutions.
Yes
Yes, we reported sometime like login issues for the users but it never took very long to get resolved.
We work daily on Playvox. Sometimes it happens due to connectivity of network, server issues, fields problems etc. last month approximately 24th or 25 August we were unable to access the portal so we reported this issue to the head office and it got resolved in a few hours. The same thing sometimes happens but I salute the support team of Playvox who work hard for us to make things possible for us as end-users.
Playvox deserves this rating and no one can reduce it. I had used HRMS, Finone, CRM, and much other software. But Playvox has its own sentiments for new and old users. Even though trainees can work easily on Playvox in a few days. It is highly recommended for new and old business setups.

  • User Management.

Yes, but I don't use it

We currently use Playvox to evaluate our support team's customer interactions against our quality metrics. We use the coaching feature to manage coaching sessions between agents, team leads, and trainers, and as a social platform for agents to recognize agents, leads, and managers when they do something helpful for them. We use the calibrate feature to ensure all managers and leads can come to a consensus on how interactions should be evaluated. And we use the karma point system to reward agents with public kudos on a job well done and a selection of prizes.
  • The evaluation forms are easy to create and use, and can be fully customized to represent the rubrics and metrics you've developed for your teams
  • The platform provides good permissions and collaborative functions. Leads, managers, and others roles can have specific views for their teams, share amongst other managers and leads for input, track coachings, and manage other lead responsibilities independent of specific evaluations.
  • The social element for the agents seems to have improved team morale, as agents, leads, and managers can recognize individuals and teams using badges and karma points.
  • The UI is not quite as intuitive as it might be. It took some time to understand where to access specific functions and what each function was specifically for (we wrote an internal guide to help our leads and agents use it effectively)
  • We are about to implement for our sales team as well, which will use Playvox a bit differently than our support team - more focused on coachings and less focused on evaluating specific interactions. It would be great to have separate teams like this clearly delineated within a single Playvox instance, but still allow support and sales agents to interact and recognize each other in the community section.
  • As an admin, it would be great to change views so I could see what users at the agent level see.
It's very well suited for customer support interaction evaluations, as well as agent coaching sessions, and in organizations where "support agent" tends to be an entry-level position within the organization. It's good if the interactions fall within a certain set of likely issues that can be addressed within a limited set of appropriate responses.

I can see it being less useful in areas where employees need more specialized knowledge or the knowledge requirements for the position are more specialized. I likely wouldn't use this for a smaller specialized team, like an escalations team or developer support team, or a team that requires broader latitude to address issues effectively.
  • Our CSAT has improved between 6%-10% across the board since implementing Playvox
  • Employee satisfaction has improved, resulting in better team morale and less agent turnover
  • Employees report understanding the expectations on any interaction, and coaching directly to them makes them feel more confident they are doing their jobs well, and more certain they can get the help they need if any area needs improvement. They feel, generally, that the company is more invested in them.
  • Maestro
We liked the UI of Maestro, but it lacked several of the additional features provided by PlayVox (esp. the social elements, recognition, coaching collaboration, and karma points). Also, PlayVox support has been amazing. They've actually implemented several feature requests we had, and worked closely with us to develop the best experience on this platform. Maestro support was not nearly as responsive.
40
Support team managers, team leads, and support agents (including frontline support and enterprise level support). We are adding sales agents, account managers, and sales team leads and team managers very soon.

Our support QA rep is the primary person for all things Playvox - she is the primary admin and develops all our evaluations and manages settings, karma, karma store, and training for Playvox. Our team leads use it for agent coaching and our manager uses it to review evaluations and coachings, ensuring everyone meets their operational goals each month.
  • Support agent evaluations by QA
  • Support agent coachings by team leads
  • Manager and lead collaboration to ensure quality goals are met
  • Support team announcements (previously using Slack, which was not as effective)
  • Using the social element to get to know the team better (esp. for those who don't interface with agents daily)
  • Not sure at this point, but I'll think on it!
It's an excellent tool that makes our support team better and happier. Playvox support is also extremely responsive and helpful.
No
Important factors included the ability to easily create and edit any evaluation forms we created, and the level of customization available to us. The ability to integrate with ZenDesk, create custom reports, and interact with managers and leads directly within the platform to track all of the activity were paramount.
Additionally, the ease of using the product, but for our admins, leads, and managers, and also the agents that we evaluated, was very important.
We feel pretty good about our eval and selection process. We also evaluated MaestroQA, which had many of the features we required as well as a nice interface. But, in comparison to Playvox, we found it was lacking. once we evaluated Playvox, we realized PV had additional features we hadn't even considered before (the social aspect and the karma store were unexpected bonuses, and the extensive reports, coaching ability and "calibration" is what ultimately tipped us in favor of Playvox)
