Joule vs. Verint Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA)

I would rate Joule a full 10/10, as it significantly improves productivity, reduces manual effort, and makes SAP data instantly accessible through natural language. It acts like a virtual SAP expert, shortening analysis time from minutes to seconds and enabling faster, more confident decision-making.

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

• Data is key to any business. They need to concentrate on private cloud with Joule for clients to be adapting to it more. As finance data by any company cannot be put in public cloud with AI.
• Test industry scenarios with close partners and set a example with real-time analytics
• Make sure value is added to company when leveraged and not to promote implementation due to AI bubble.

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.

From the initial set up to required authorizations and user profiles, each step has been pretty smooth. Onboarding new users to be able to use the product has been all the way more easier. Totally recommend large size organizations to opt for SAP Joule to help their employees or business users for improved productivity and faster results to their queries.

It is well suited for employees with technical experience

Agent force is tied into Salesforce dot com directly. Since we are using SAP, it was a no brainer to use Joule rather than something like Agent force or Einstein. On top of that, Joule just seemed like a better product overall with better functionality. This is why we chose to use Joule over the competition.

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.
