Genesys DX (discontinued) vs. Verint Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA)

The relationship building with the entire team at LMI from Sales, to the Account Manager to our Customer Relationship manager and their product Bold360 was excellent. They were always willing to listen to different ideas and try to make them work for us

The IVA is very well suited to handle routine questions and basic actions that would typically require customer support. It may be a little more challenged handling edge cases but in those instances we have found it provides an easy transfer to a live agent

• We’ve built our environment to scale globally and currently leveraging the platform in U.S., LATAM, BRAZIL, APAC, and EMEA.
• Email integration with Outlook has helped channel emails to agents by skill set.
• The knowledgebase has shared global articles, which are auto-translated to our fans who engage our brands based on their questions.
• I want to add kudos to the support received from our Customer Success Manager and Technical Account Manager.

• Use of Acknowledgment base and AI engines.
• F&Q.
• Automate process such as consults, modifications and cancel reservations.
• Execute triggers for notify customer reservations.

• Reporting capabilities. I think the dashboard and reporting tool could contain more details in terms of what data is visible and available to the user/administrator.
• Native mobile applications to provide added support.
• Improving the beta testing program to use new features before understanding whether the update can be pushed out without causing issues with the end-user.

Incentivized

• There is minimal documentation around what we can and can't do for IVA
• IVA seems to be a newer product so this is difficult when trying to implement new things
• IVA has a lot of non-Verint friendly terms (Think Prompt, vs. answer or Intent/Alternate vs. context).

While I enjoy the IVA product, there is still some fine-tuning of the platform that can be done. There are some nuances to the Verint platform, which can make it difficult to start quickly. We thought business users would be able to easily manage the work needed within the IVA platform for our business; however, with how complex we want to make the experience, that was not possible. We quickly realized we needed more support than just our business users, who were not familiar with how to add API information into a conversation flow. This is why we expanded to others within our business to support the tool.

Day-to-day use of Bold360 AI (chatbot) use (reviewing new questions, adding new responses, tagging, etc.) is fairly simple, but utilizing more advanced features and custom channeling, etc. typically require escalation to developers and may require additional costs if you want help to implement

It is well suited for employees with technical experience

Great customer support management provided by LogMeIn, which gives you a direct line with regular meetings with the company to make sure your implementation is a success. [The] account manager is always readily available as well for engagement. Opportunities though exist in a balance between professional services support and VIP support that can be improved upon more.

I used LivePerson in my previous company. It was the same as BoldChat in terms of being a standalone chat application. But when I started using Bold360, for the very first time I felt I'd found a tool that made chat a really good channel for communications.

Verint Intelligent Virtual Assistant had more features and functionality than the Genesys product as well as customization and further options for internal system integration to our existing on-prem systems. In addition, we also had a rapport with other Verint products and were more familiar with their AI capabilities, making them the obvious choice.

Incentivized

• Considerable saving on ticket deflection so return on investment
• Saved on extra support engineer recruitment through self service
• Enabled support engineers to concentrate on more complex customer issues as simple and semi-complex issues are generally dealt with through self service--so better quality of service for customers

• Human agent hours operations
• More interactions will be attended by AI agents
• Reducing human agent licensing costs
• Attending more interaction in less time
