Playvox, headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, offers their call center agent monitoring, coaching and QA platform, designed to motivate and improve the performance of call center agents and reps.
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.
Playvox is excellent for a team who knows exactly what they need in order to get better. You have full control to set your metrics, track the data and provide feedback. If you're a team looking for software that will create the solutions for you, look elsewhere. Playvox is a fantastic tool, but a terrible genie
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.
The speed of loading the chat that I am evaluating for the customer service representative because sometimes it shows that there is an error in the load.
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
It would've been a higher rating if they're able to partner up with other platforms like Liveperson chat support and have a better sense of urgency when it comes to resolving issues
Playvox is an easy-to-use platform, all features are intuitive, which makes navigation easy. I never found navigation problems, I was always able to find all the items I needed, all the information is well separated, what could improve is the possibility of moving some items, putting the ones that I use the most in evidence.
do pages load quickly? yes / Do reports complete in a reasonable time frame, given their complexity? yes i think / If Playvox integrates with any other software or systems, does it tend to slow them down? i don't know
Because, it took them time to coordinate back some updates for us when we had to report a few major issues. ie Volume data feed for our Email support/channel. I like the webinars, however to keep the community alive. I hope they improve the training modules too and how they training new WFM guys as part of their package
We have had multiple live trainings (Zoom). The training at the beginning of the set up was top notch. We had some additional questions about coaching and they jumped on the opportunity to help us. We have a designated trainer and account manager.
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.
Calabrio One has far better customer engagement and customer service than the previous vendor. Calabrio is very easy to use and quick to obtain search results. We have had great success with Calabrio and are very happy with our move
As far as my usage allows me to say, Scorebuddy did not open room for a dispute; in case the person evaluated does not agree with the rating she/he received, there is no possibility to document coaching and follow up on development or do the quiz for knowledge check. (I used Scorebuddy 2 years ago).
A positive return that we have had is the ability to see the portion of the day that we are likely to be over and under staffed and use that data to modify schedules to allow for overtime or additional time off of the phones.
A negative impact that we have had is the additional use of WFM man hours to manually make changes to individual schedules since there is not a good option to quickly adjust several simultaneously.
Being able to monitor agent calls and activity has given us the ability to retain and promote high performing agents and remove agents that are not well suited to the contact center.
