Alvaria Quality vs. Calabrio WFM

It all depends on the workforce team if they've settled the tool correctly for the company. In a previous experience, the tool was entirely settled with the group balance available, all the segments we need were added and up to date, and we could easily navigate the tool. On the new company though, there is a sentiment of incompletion, the UI slightly evolved over the past 2 years but only for the name and some design. Though the tool itself hasn't really changed and clarity is missing sometimes. We must be used to it to understand it well.

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.

• There is a lot of options, probably too many and more than 50% are no use to me.
• Some views can be very confusing, sticking to the time is best to avoid being confused by any overlapping segment.
• Lot of options but UI tends to be a bit slow to load and still empty sometimes.

• System uptime. We use their cloud solution and unfortunately there's been a number of outages.
• PTO management, could use more features like waitlisting, time off canceling and offline management

It serves my needs perfectly, but it sometimes glitches where you press a link and it downloads the page instead of opens it.

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.

• They must work to update the characteristics of the integrated items so that they can be better in general based on user demand.
