Overall Satisfaction with Calabrio ONE

Calabrio is an evolving product and has many built in tools. I will only mention a few. We are currently using the Calabrio product for our workforce and [quality management] needs. [It's also used for] schedule optimization and quality assurance. It provides the ability to manage workflows. It allows the administrators to set up automatic PTO approval with the ability to fully customize it to meet our company's needs. The breaks and lunches are scheduled based on historical data and a set of rules. I use the [quality management] side tp review recorded calls, quality scores, and for live monitoring. On a daily basis, I like to review the day prior reports which allow me to get a clear picture of service level, agent performance, calls handed and offered etc. This allows me to evaluate the amount of staffing needed and lets me plan ahead.
  • Calabrio provides excellent customer service to customers. Feedback is well received. The product is evolving every year. They listen to customers needs and aim to implement a lot of the ideas provided to them.
  • Reporting from Calabrio is easy to use and customizable allowing you to select the order fields and the amount of them you want to see.
  • Our business is split up into 6 call centers with more than 400 users. As an administrator, owning the PTO approvals could be tricky as they all show up in the same queue. I wish they would have the ability to filter through the call center staff.
  • After an exception has been entered and saved if you need to edit or remove it entirely you must remove it from the schedule view and the application management section under the agent. This creates more work. I would like to see it removed entirely if you end up removing from either end. For example, if you only remove it from the schedule view it will still show on a report.
I have never used another application other than Calabrio.
The Calabrio tool is well suited for call center use. It provides the ability to track exceptions, adherence, performance, calls handled and many other features.
