DCDial vs. Verint Workforce Engagement (discontinued)

This software is very useful to all companies that want to increase their sales through customer service or call centers for their sales. It has worked very well for us, being able to solve minor failures, it is one of the best-priced software, compared to everything it offers.

Incentivized

On a whole Verint WFO is well suited to our business, it provides exactly what we need for forecasting & scheduling along with an very intuitive holiday booking system, throw in the adherence piece and score cards that are available all in all the system is very robust. It is easy to use once you've received the proper training provided by Verint and they are always on hand to support when issues arise, but in the last 5 years I have had roughly 4 issues and 1 of those was my own mistake and not the system so I think that is a strong point for them.

Incentivized

• Integrates seamlessly with our CRM products.
• Call tracking capabilities.
• A fully compliant call center suite.

Incentivized

• Blended forecasting – shift variety.
• Verint Workforce Optimization has the ability to schedule blended shifts, e.g. agents could theoretically be on chats in the morning, phones for an hour after lunch, then back on chats in the afternoon.
• Automated task scheduling - educated planning.
• We'll be able to automate the scheduling of meetings, training, or coaching without impacting service levels. For team leaders, this will alleviate the need to guess the most appropriate timings.
• Scorecard reporting –Visibility over performance.
• Scorecards are a ‘one-stop-shop’ to view individual performance. They allow for performance-based data capture and reporting, giving greater transparency and access to data on performance at an agent level.

Incentivized

• I'd update their system design a bit to make it more visually appealing but it doesn't impact my productivity.

• I think the system needs better documentation, hard to find all the features and where to configure things
• I think the system should come with all the plugs in upgrades they change you extra for, a little to much nickel and dimeing on getting all the needed features
• Email notifications for out of adherence were sometimes inconsistent, and this was not fixed with all the different upgrades and patches on WFM version 10.1

Honestly, from what I hear from other industry experts, other WFO systems have the same support issues we have with Verint. We know the product and the system is maturing and becoming more stable. The business has no issue with the Verint product and is seeking to grow not only what we have in place today, but are very interested in other products, such as BackOffice Analytics, that Verint has to offer. I would just love to see a stronger partnership with Avaya.

Because its great

I gave DCDial the 10/10 rating because our team loves DCDial ever since we had our initial demo with Haze and I personally got really impressed by DCDial's functionality.

Because its excellent tool

I do not have any key insights regarding implementation of Verint

We have evaluated CallFire, CallHub, CloudTalk, and PhoneBurner, but unlike DCDial, none of them offer Click Campaigns that require us to press each phone number manually (non-automated dialing) to dial a specific person and ensure compliance at the same time. As the debt collection agency, we have to make sure we are fully compliant.

Nice - a little more costly than Verint. Qfiniti - no comparison - Verint is so much more!! Automony Aspect We selected Verint because of the options that were well suited for our organization. There are several providers that do not compare against these top providers so remember...you get what you pay for. You have to think of it in terms of the value in addition to the "need at hand" that this system can bring to you.

• Call tracking capabilities.
• Easy monitoring and reporting features.
• Compliant call center suite.

Incentivized

• The system require constant manual oversight to keep it running. The Monitoring tool provided is very unstable and cannot be relied upon.
• User Administration is cumbersome and time-consuming. There is a lot of redundant effort required to set up new users.
• The integration between WFM and the Recording platform is shaky, and will often stop syncing for now apparent reason.
