Cresta Overview

What is Cresta?

Contact Centers are challenged to increase their agent efficiency and effectiveness in the face of high attrition, poor training, and managers who can only review less than 3% of interactions. Cresta turns real-time insights into real-time actions to make contact centers smarter and drive business results. We use generative AI to provide dynamic, real-time guidance to sales and service agents based on the best practices of your top performers, and let managers see and track every conversation and agent progress to create personalized coaching plans. Cresta was born out of the Stanford AI Lab and is backed by Greylock Partners, Sequoia, and Andreessen Horowitz. We are proud to be working with companies like Intuit, Cox Communications, Dropbox, and Blue Nile.

What do you like best about Cresta?

What I like most with Cresta is that when you receive a chat, you have valuable info right there ready for you with the account number, name, and phone number to make it easy to pull up the account and have that ready to go. It is also great that you can see prior chat history so you can check that out to see what the customer needed last so you are fully prepared for what the customer throws at you. I do also enjoy the predictive text to save having to type everything out though it can still be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cresta?

What I dislike most about Cresta is sms and app chats, there are fewer predictive text options if at all available. The payment system is terrible for new accounts that are inactive that need to send payment links to as there is no service to select as the account is not active to create the payment link causing issues and poor user experience for both agent and customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cresta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Automated responses help with handling times and create a positive experience.

Chat history helps with customers coming back for offers and being able to see previous offers mentioned to create a positive experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cresta?

Cresta is a great coaching tool that allows me to review and score chats efficiently. I can read conversations and pull up the score guide on the right-hand side seamlessly. When I coach consultants, Cresta allows me to activate real-time hints in different conversation areas for each team member. Through the Cresta AI, the system learns to place these coaching hints from the thousands of conversations properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cresta?

I don't have complaints about the Cresta system at all. Once in a while, there will be a few bugs that prevent me from pulling up my team automatically, or I get a random error message when I try to score a chat, but these are very rare. If I report a problem, Cresta responds to my request in an appropriate amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cresta solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the past, I had to read chats and score in a different system, which often took a long time since I had to switch between tabs constantly. Everything I need to coach, conversations, hints, and coaching plans are all stored in one centralized system. I spend less time scoring and more time preparing and helping my team have great conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cresta?

For my consultants, they can't imagine working without it. As a leader of a chat team, the majority of my day is spent in Cresta Director and it is invaluable. It makes it very easy to review my consultants Coaching Plans and to score their conversations. For new hires, I enjoy the LIVE viewing feed so I can monitor the team easily and flip back and forth between conversations so I can provide immediate, on the spot feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cresta?

Not really a dislike but with all technology, you want it exactly the way you want it and you want it to be right now. I would like to see some more personal customization and have it on the go. But with that said, the Cresta team is very responsive to change requests and evaluates based on priority. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cresta solving and how is that benefiting you?

The customization of Cresta Director so it has everything I need to make my job easier. It has all of my Coaching Plans in one organized place to review for myself and my consultants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cresta?

I like being able to see the conversation. That way, if there is something I forget, I can go back and look over it. I also like the fact that we can review calls after they are completed, in order to improve our skills and become better. Being able to see what is being said is very important in the space that we work in, so it helps with call reviews and training as well. I think this is the type of technology that will be incorporated into many call center and business settings. I would definitely recommend this product to my peers and colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cresta?

The only thing I would want to improve would be the application itself, at times it doesn't work correctly. When I first started in the department, I could not get the application to work correctly and had issues with the IT team so that these issues would be resolved. Also sometimes the words I use aren't always shown, which may be an error on my part to make sure I annunciate correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cresta:

I would tell people looking at cresta that it is definitely a positive and should consider it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cresta solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are solving the problem of misrepresentation, since the calls are being logged. Now we have the ability to ensure that when a guest says that they were told one thing or another, we can have the script and read through while we listen, so that we are sure of the information that we are consuming to be true. There is definitely a space for the information to be utilized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cresta?

I like that cresta transcribe the audio call to text and we are able to follow through as we go through the call. However, it will be nice if cresta can transcribe it properly for the bilingual customers that have accent. When you read the text, it's completely different from the audio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cresta?

I don't like when the guest provide their phone number, cresta hide the number and show it as asterisks. That is not helpful at all, I don't know why they switch it from the original format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cresta:

I would say go for it, it's easy to use and provide resourceful tips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cresta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cresta is making review calls easier and more thorough for team members and managers. I think it's very beneficial and useful for us especially if the guest claim something was offered when it wasn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cresta?

The Cresta application gives the ability to see the call transcript. This is good for future review of the customer calls but especially important for coaching the agents to the next level. This feature also allows the agent to self-check their performance to determine what they can do better on the next call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cresta?

There aren't many downsides, but what would be nice is to see the agent's view. When training the database currently, the only way to explain the application in its entirety, we must use screenshots of the agents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cresta:

Use it daily! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cresta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Efficiency and effectiveness are huge problems that Cresta is tackling. I especially like how the Cresta team listens to our needs and shortly after there are new features added to offer us additional abilities to make Cresta a one-stop-shop for coaching and quality assurance.

What do you like best about Cresta?

Cresta is helpful with having the account number, and if the customer is logged into the account. I also enjoy I can see when the customer is typing. I can take more chats if I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cresta?

I find it hard for the system to stay connected to our VPN and it will time out. Also, the suggestions that come up sometimes are not even relevant to the conversation. The payment option dose not always work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cresta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cresta helps my wrist not be so tired all day from typing. It also benefits me because I am able to easily transfer a customer to a different department, as well as read what another agent said to the customer from a previous chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Cresta?

Good to remember conversation and verify what you or a guest said. Also very helpful in keeping track of call throughout the day. Very helpful to backtrack if you want to remember a telephone number or name without getting the guest frustrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cresta?

Sometimes it does not transcribe properly or pick up on calls. Also when you review the telephone calls it bleeps out all the number which i know it is more for credit card privacy but sometime shearing the telephone number is useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cresta:

Very useful to keep track of work and calls Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cresta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Holding agents accountable for what they tell guests and promise during the time of booking. For training purposes easier to pull up the call versus our actual phone system that we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cresta?

The responsiveness from the company. They take out feedback and execute very quickly with suggestions. They have roundtables and ask about our likes and dislikes about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cresta?

With new updates it can be buggy at times. Like for example: clocking and timing out occasionally. The bright side is a responsive support email available to us and they give updates a long the way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cresta solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Chat Flow" As a supervisor my duties are split between coaching and meetings. Cresta is a little piece of AI that gives my agent a side by side to remember to do the right selling behaviors even when I am not there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
