    CxEngage can handle some more complex flow options that other vendors don't seem to be able to do. The integration for voice calls with Salesforce is a huge plus. The integration of email support with Salesforce is a BIG miss. After fighting with it for a year, we finally just turned it off and use Salesforce Omnichannel for email support. Chat using Salesforce Live Agent worked fine enough.

    I think Verint Workforce Managementi s well suited for all scenarios. No system is perfect, but understanding the gaps allow you to be effective considering those gaps. The one scenario I can think of is if you don't need to forecast. We have some departments where volume is controlled (example Outbound). Because of the business model we have staffing on a given day or hour isn't important. Only agents are working 40 hours a week.

    • I love the color ribbons that can be set up universally for all our business lines.
    • The mobile application is easy to use and our agents love it.
    • I love the security within the application- customizing who gets what access is great!

    Cons
    Lifesize
    • Stronger support and more reliable system for users not on a commercial network
    • Consumer friendly and intuitive reporting and dashboard tools. build canned reports
    • Reporting: Ability to get a combined SVL for all queues included on a report (now we manually calculate after exporting the report into excel). Same for all major data points (ASA, AHT, etc.)
    • Ability to include abandoned calls and an abandonment percentage which excludes short abandons on the Queue summary report. Now the report just shows total abandons and abandonment percentage so if we want to exclude short abandons we have to pull a separate report to find out how many calls abandoned in less than 10 seconds then calculate the "true abandoned number" (calls abandoned minus short abandons)
    • Ability to change what is considered a "short abandon" and then report on it. Right now the only option is the built in tracking of calls that abandoned in equal to or less than 10 seconds.
    • Ability to "save" an agents "default" skill profile so that any changes we make can be returned to "BAU" with a click of a button
    • quicker data/historical report retrieval
    • way to separate what we have listed as a queue name for reporting vs. what is used for the queue name in the "whisper" (the issue we had with WT queue naming conventions because we had to have the whisper be super precise)

    • Usability from the end user. Our leaders in particular struggle with navigation and getting the information they need
    • Forecasting solutions outside of the basic call center. We do forecasting for back office groups and need to use different models than what is offered today, This requires us to do forecasting outside of Verint Workforce Management.
    • Improved Schedule Change request. Our business has a more flexible model for SCR. While we use the shift bid for other purposes, we need more flexible way to allow reps to submit for SCR

    Whilst Verint Workforce Management is doing much of the work we were hoping it would do, there are some limitations that cause hesitancy when deciding if it is the tool for the future. No further exploration has taken place to seek alternatives to date. It is good for the Contact element of our business but not for the rest of the business, meaning we have to use two planning tools currently.

    As someone who was new to the WFM world just over 2 years ago but very tech savvy I found it very not user friendly. The interface is not intuitive from a rep perspective or an administrator perspective. While Verint Workforce Management could benefit many organizations at our company the user interface is holding back other organizations from wanting to implement it.

    Training was covered in full day sessions that went very fast with no way of recording the information for later review. This made it hard to capture & retain all the details of information.

    Training is more broad on specific use cases. It would be good to have training based on our current situations as we deal with so many unique setups & client needs.

    We implemented in 2018 and were only given 8 weeks to do it...as per the direction of our parent company at the time. Serenova at the time responded well and we were able to go Live within 8-weeks...albeit the product overall was a big change and had gaps in features over our previous contact management solution.

    The team helping us did a great job training our WFM leaders on how to use the tool from forecasting, to schedule updates to maintenance. They allowed us to be involved in implementation but also did a lot of the initial heavy lifting allowing us to stay focussed on the tasks at hand. It was a great experience and one I would hope occurs again should we ever need to implement a new tool again.

    It's been too many years...I don't remember. Except in 2021 we looked briefly at Amazon and Salesforce call center offerings. Both were too basic at the time that even if we got a great deal on licensing (we are a Salesforce house for other things), we couldn't easily (or at all) do things like Callbacks and some of the more robust flow buildouts that we have in place today with Lifesize.

    I find that Verint wants to give you a lot of customisation options, but this can potentially lead to a lot of work, but is also offers us something that we didn't have before, the opportunity to give benefits back to our employees with tools like request leave, shift swap, shift bidding, timeflex, etc. This is why we chose Verint Workforce Management.

    • Staffing optimization - With the Verint tool, we have been able to optimize our workforce, reduce our staff and centralize our processes.
    • Employee Engagement - Our employees always know where their performance stands so they can take ownership in their performance.
    • We have implemented WFM in several areas of the company and have been able to improve those departments which have never had a tool to help in back office operations.
