  • Maintain and manage a requested call back queue when volume is beyond bandwidth.

  • It provides a detailed breakdown of the an agents' performance via the reports provided.
  • If your agents work from home, you will find the agent report very helpful, as it provides the agents' pickup rate, which lets you know if agents are missing calls. This can be as a result of connection issues or them just not answering a call.
  • It records each call received or made by agent, giving you the ability to listen and download that audio.
  • You are able to do remote monitoring by listening in on a call if you think it is necessary without the agent knowing.
  • I would love the ability to customize the customer survey. Currently, I have a word count limit.
  • It would be nice if the reports came with a date stamp based on the range selected. If I pull multiple reports at the same time, it can be confusing, as it has no subject heading for date.
  • It would also be nice if the duration field for some reports was in minutes instead of seconds.

  • Offers a click to call option.
  • Easy to integrate into salesforce.
  • Easy to listen to calls for quality controls.
  • History of calls per agent on the web version.
  • Glitches, silences or rewinding of the conversation, all of which are not so common (mainly after a long pause in calling or after using other voice/video consuming platforms). These are fixed when re-launching.

  • Reporting tracking agents metrics
  • Creating Ring groups to better support each department we service
  • Provides quick and fast support from the helpdesk
  • Easy use
  • Transferring of calls, we sometimes have to use interpreters and are not able to disconnect transfers without disconnecting the whole call, which agents have to sit and wait or do callbacks
  • Updates to the systems should be sent out to Admins in a timely manner to prepare staff
  • Better update for callbar to prevent freezing
