    The WFM part of the platform is highly effective when properly set-up to allow for workforce and capacity planning, SLA monitoring around capacity, and agent accessibility and usage. The flexibility in the platform improves agent retention and morale, and the guardrails support regarding business rules prevent abuse. It can be extended through other tools via API (which we have used) and those areas have greatly assisted in our ability to address complex situations with our teams. That said, the Insights component of the platform has some room to grow in direct data analytics. There are formulas and functions that could be created to inject more complex logic and data-types in the previous Data-Explorer platform, even if the ease of building rich dashboards is greatly improved. If you have a data point that you want to monitor in conjunction with your agent data that requires much more complex logic to evaluate in a regulated way, you would need to build on data imports into the platform after calculating it else where, given this. Insights is overall an improvement, but less tools in the toolbox means niche situations suffer.

    UKG Dimensions will work well with a company size of [fewer] than 10,000 employees. Once you hit over 10K, you start to notice that batch jobs will time out, clocks will perform slower or become unresponsive requiring manual restarts and the employee demographic will take hours to complete. Will the vendor has on their roadmap to increase the performance of the product, it is not at that point.

    Pros
    Verint
    • Calabrio focuses on the needs of the customer. They really want to know how they can advance their product.
    • Calabrio has made it easy for our end-users to be involved in the QA process. Agents regularly are in Calabrio listening to their calls and reviewing their evaluations.
    • Love the Calabrio Champions Network that gives all users a way to stay in touch with new happenings in the IT world as well as within Calabrio.

    • rule analysis- the rule analysis in this product is much cleaner and easy to follow compared to WFC
    • The level of granularity on FAPs is very helpful for configuring access compared to other platforms
    • UI is very easy to follow and intuitive

    Cons
    Verint
    • WorkForce Management - it has recently come to my attention that the people in my company who are using the WFM portion of the suite are less happy with it. Apparently the reporting features and exact requirements needed are not being met by the product.
    • Fail over functionality for on-prem SQL configurations is completely lacking. It is our one weak spot in the Calabrio ONE chain.
    • Contact with customers. I know that sounds weird for a company who prides itself on its ability to listen and strengthen customer relations - but sometimes within a company (mine) there is less than "quality communication" between IT and business ends of the company. Calabrio does a great job talking with IT, but I think our business side has missed having the same quality of service - may be due to our own failures at communication. Not sure, honestly.

    • You got to have a solution for employees with multiple jobs
    • Need to allow customers to easily access your integration technology
    • Your business structure is too restrictive and making the application far less flexible
    • Your professional service team needs a lot of improvement, especially in the execution part
    • Need to have a proven and working interface for business structure automation.

    Some challenges lately since the Verint acquisition. The support has been lacking, and the rush to innovation breaks things constantly. There are features that are missing, such as easy intraday adjustments, especially when you manage 100 services per day.

    Usability
    Verint
    The system usability is easy to find contacts, dig into call recordings and find what went well and what needs improvement. I like the ability to record screen captures across multiple screens in order to help understand what agents need help or guidance with.

    UKG Dimensions is very user-friendly from an employee and supervisor standpoint. It is very robust on an admin level and can get complicated; however, you can do so many things with it that is outweighs the complexity. The security for UKG Dimensions needs to be revamped however. It is very cumbersome and not user-friendly.

    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

    • Kronos Workforce Dimensions a new product, and it has a lot of scope for improvement, with future releases. One of the best tools to perform time tracking.
    • Their support team is very knowledgeable, and their SLA's are pretty tight. Any query raised would be addressed in a few hours.
    • Timeclock configuration can be complicated; however, their support team knows the processes and guidelines.

    I have approximately a decade of experience using the aspect Workforce management software package. aspect has many power user functions that are not available in Calabrio. The strength of aspect is that is has extensive power user options. The drawback to aspect is that to be a proficient user of the software will take many months of hands on training. I often find myself comparing the pro/cons of the two solutions. That being said, I'd like to see Calabrio add more automation that will remove the need to perform many tasks that at the moment must be done manually

    UKG Dimensions provides an enterprise-wide integrated suite for timekeeping, staff scheduling, and clocks. We were an existing Workforce Central customer for timekeeping only and were interested in providing holistic experience between staff scheduling and timekeeping. In addition, [UKG] Dimensions established a great foundation for transitioning our organization from departmental focused scheduling solutions to enterprise.

    Return on Investment
    Verint
    • Targeting 90 seconds savings on manual notes, which is substantial. Those savings will allow us to handle more contacts without adding staff.
    • Analytics will give us insights that allow us to make more educated decisions on future direction and provide data to make adjustments to improve both the Customer and Agent experiences.

    • It is neutral. We enjoy having somewhat of a seamless system between HR, PR, and timekeeping.
    • When a person uses the Reset Password link, the system sends the user an email with a link to set their password. Then when the person logs in with their new password, the system forces the user to change their password a second time. This second password change is unnecessary and creates confusion.
