HyperOffice Enterprise Collaboration Suite vs. Verint Community

It is well suited for the medium to large companies, where you are managing a large amount of data and files. Least suited for the small companies or startups.

If you need a community platform that's very versatile and has a relatively low entry-cost to get started, Verint is a good pick. If you need a solution that is guaranteed to work seamlessly and have no hiccups or issues overall, it is not well suited. Although it is a SAAS solution, some of the aspects of the platform do not make it seem so.

• Simple interface which makes it easy to operate.
• Great Features to facilitate the needs.

• Forums - organizing forum questions and identifying answered
• Various layouts of blogs, divided by groups to enable different or similar layouts throughout the site. Ability to enable all to view the same or have particular groups of blogs to stand out and have it's own look and feel
• ability to customize widgets to the needs of your use case

• Takes time to learn the functionalities.
• A bit pricey for small companies.
• Extra help required to learn.

• The terminology of some reports, and how the reports work, is not always clear at first. More could be done to educate on getting the most from reporting.
• If there is a bug in your version, you are advised to apply a service pack which is not always possible to do. Not easy to get fixes for bugs.

I am not part of this decision making process, but I did provide positive feedback to the decision making board.

If you are an experienced online community professional, Verint offers the flexibility you need. You do need to have a lot of expertise if you want to build a solid user experience because there isn't a template out-of-the-box that is just ready to go for various use cases. It will take awhile to fully understand the capabilities of Verint Community.

I've heard good things about the customer support team of HyperOffice but never had any experience myself.

While the support portal (cases) is helpful, I've been even more impressed by their own support community. I always get quick, thoughtful, and interesting answers to my questions from support personnel, in-house developers, other users, and even the VP/GM himself! They have a really wonderful thing going there.

all customizations should be under warranty so that you get the right level of support from the 3rd party

The platform is easy-to-use and helpful in managing projects. Additionally, email-based communication and updates are great.

Both Higher Logic and Khoros came in with very few benefits compared to Verint with a much higher price point, and potential for additional expenses. With Verint, we added some initial implementation services but were able to plainly see and understand any future financial impact, whereas other vendors were much more ambiguous about how much we might pay for services we might need in the future. Both other vendors seemed to have plenty of integration options, but very specific ones (e.g. We have a CRM integration... if you use Salesforce. We have an LMS integration... if you use [this vendor]). Knowing that their out-of-the-box integrations were not in our existing tech stack made for a very unclear path forward

Highly scalable system with the ability to expand to an increasing number of users and communities

• Definitely. Got more features than expected for the price plan. Props to the team for that.

• Verint Community has helped to gain more than one lakh users which shows that the platform is extremely stable and engaging. This helped for more brand awareness and e-commerce conversion rates
• We have had huge problems with non English countries where this platform's limitations has caused huge number of loss and less user count. Hopefully this is fixed soon.
• Our major plan was to expand our segments and verticals such as gaming, education and business which was done very well by using this platform and our team was able to customize it based on our brand's identity. We looking to expand to much more countries and hopefully target all our worldwide businesses.
