What do you like best about Content Guru storm?

I work on the Connexus Homes service desk supporting and providing admin for the the Customer Service teams contact centre from an IT perspective. Since we moved to STORM it has been very reliable and stable and where we had regular issues and outages with our old Contact Centre systems we have rarely if ever had an issue with STORM. Once configured and setup it is solid and just does what is expected. 2 years on we really only provide administration now and very little support.

I have really enjoyed working with and developing my FLOW skills. Took some getting used to but I'm very proud of the main number IVR script I built :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Content Guru storm?

A big bug bear from my teams point of view and the only thing that we miss about our old system is that there is no LDAP sync with our Active Directory / Entra. Manual creation of UC users is more time consuming requiring numerous steps with no scope for automation. This means that there is more likelihood for mistakes or steps to be missed out when creating or managing users in UC and contact. Especially compounded because we are integrated with MS Teams rather than using DTA.

Also, the integration with MS Teams is not perfect and has always felt more bolted on rather than seamlessly integrated but it works and we have become used to how it operates.

In the initial building stages of both Phase 1 and 2 there were times where while support and communication were always good and definitely improved to excellent, we struggled to build and implement because we felt there was an expectation for us to know more that we did - a term of phrase used in many of our meetings was 'we do not know what we do not know'. This was particularly prevalent when building FLOWs and more direct one to one help with building out the FLOWs we need with proper explanation and design would have be better. I built and fixed many of our issues through trial and error and some luck rather than what I would have preferred which was more mentoring while we went through this process.

The most disliked part for me though has to be the clunky and dysfunctional way in which was have tried to raise and manage tickets with Content Guru through the Vodafone no dedicated help desk. Countless tickets closed because of the 72 hour closure policy, unable to use use the awful One Portal for raising tickets, difficulties contact directly and so on. We now raise tickets via the web chat which is great when it is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Content Guru storm?

We’ve really enjoyed working with Content Guru, alongside their experienced and knowledgeable team. They are highly communicative, keeping us informed at every stage of the process, and always honest when challenges arise. A special thanks to James Grant for his exceptional support in accommodating our emergent changes and requirements throughout the journey. His professionalism and flexibility made a big difference – we're very happy with the outcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Content Guru storm?

We joined Content Guru on this journey at a very early stage, some things are being fine tuned and in hindsight would have been great when we started. A test environment to trial changes to AI script for RTAS would have been beneficial to trial and error our changes, rather than go into a live environment to gather that data.

A simplified ticketing system for our busy end users would have been ideal also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Content Guru storm solving and how is that benefiting you?

The purpose of this project was to reduce the administrative burden on our staff by introducing an AI-driven CV and case note generation system. This will allow our team to spend more time with participants, enhancing service quality and outcomes. The project involves implementing speech-to-text technology to transcribe conversations and using generative AI to create high-quality CVs and case notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Content Guru storm?

There isn't much to dislike to be honest. Some of the technical implementation at the very start could have been much better, but this was recognised and a change affected to put it right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Content Guru storm solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were desperate for our contact centre technology to be reliable, due to previous bad experiences but to also provide a platform to evolve our service offer. Content Guru have enabled this through a reliable product and also supporting us through the journey we are on, which is bespoke to us, therefore the time they have taken to understand us, our business and our customer needs, has been impressive and resulted in a quality product implemented well.

What do you like best about Content Guru storm?

storm allows us to provide services for UK Central G0vernment Departments, the NHS and private sector customers. The platform is highly reliable but also easy to use. Its intuitive interfaces allow us to provide managed services by allowing us to make moves, adds, changes and deletions for customers.

The solution is expansive supporting Contact Centre, Workforce Engagement Management, Customer Relationship Management and Unified Comms features which allows us to use a single platform rather than integrate multiple solutions together. It also supports leading AI enablement around customer self-service, advisor enablement and big data analysis.

The solution is easy to deploy and backed up by solid support from subject matter experts with timely resolution of issues. The solution can also be easily integrated with a wide variety of other business systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Content Guru storm?

The storm product roadmap allows us to see the future of the system and continuous enhancement, and shows that they're listening to their clients and their needs. We are also seeing continuing improvements of the system, especially the user experience, design and helpful features for customer service. PADLOCK has greatly improved our compliance and the efficiency for taking donations over the phone, a key part of our day to day business. FLOW is an extremely helpful feature which has allowed us to direct and handle anticipated increases in inbound traffic over the last year which has alleviated heavier workloads on our team. It also allows us to have autonomy over mapping out inbound comms across all the channels and promote self-service and improve the customer experience and the agent experience, helping us to have more engaging conversations with our supporters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Content Guru storm?

The inability to select and handle items, such as emails, in bulk which doesn't suit a smaller contact centre such as ours. An ongoing issue with 'stuck' emails in queues. Limited search functionality such as keywords or email content. Reporting limitations on interactions that haven't yet been handled such as emails waiting in queues. Lack of a 'ban' feature on Live Chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Content Guru storm solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our team handle thousands of conversations with our supporters every month, across several channels; phone, email, live chat and social media - but we had a different platform to handle these conversations on each channel. Our supporters engage with us in different ways on a variety of subjects, having these separate systems meant engagement was fragmented and made it difficult to provide a meaningful experience when contacting us. If a supporter spoke to our team over the phone on one day, and then a different member of our team on another day over live chat, we want them to receive a consistent high level quality of service across both of those occasions but also feel they were personalised to them. A contact center transformation through storm allowed us to coordinate our conversations through omnichannel engagement, to connect with new and existing supporters seamlessly and inspire them to support our mission.

What do you like best about Content Guru storm?

With the Storm services we use, we can easily set up and customize our call centers ourselves, among other things. Since it is a cloud-based platform, we don't need to invest in hardware or infrastructure except for a fixed phone and a headset. However, if there is something we need help with, all it takes is a call or an email to the support desk to be helped quickly. It is also nice that the support desk is also available in Dutch during office hours.

During the corona period we experienced that we could switch our accessibility quickly and easily in order to continue working from home without the callers noticing anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
