    Meta4 PeopleNet Core HR is a very powerful HR tool with abundant features that could fulfill pretty much all the HR needs of a small to medium sized organization. It might be an overkill for very small businesses with less than 20 employees as its really geared towards larger organizations. It offers powerful tools to performance reviews as well as employee HR management tasks. One interesting feature is the ability for employees to perform self administrative tasks through the software which allows some automation of tasks. On the other hand, the program can be so feature rich that require an advanced user with data analytic skills to fully utility. Companies that use the software will need to have at least one manager procure training before utilizing its full range of features.

    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.

    Pros
    Cegid
    • Clean and easy navigation: it is very user-friendly and compared to other solutions I have utilized, there is a clear difference on how information is displayed and also ease of navigation and speed of response of the platform.
    • All modules are really integrated and it is so much power when there is a correlation between say the data displayed in Talent Management and the info seen on the C&B module for example from a performance and compensation perspective, visualizing info and being able to analyze it easier for decision making.
    • Customizable, in our case, we use the solution and enjoy the multiple benefits and efficiencies due to how data is organized and presented and the same time we have the advantage that the user interface is all customized to our own corporate brand/look and feel, color palette and graphical line.

    • 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
    Cegid
    • Meta4 PeopleNet Core HR can be a bit overwhelming for light users with limited experience.
    • The performance review features are extensive and require a highly skilled manager that work with data analytics
    • The program is not quite as strong in its recruitment features as other software offerings.

    • 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.

    It is excellent support so far, during implementation and also while live, the only reason why I am giving a 9 is because in some cases we could have had a quicker response or solution, but so far this doesn't look like an issue at all, and the vendor has been making sure we have what we need.

    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.

    Meta4 PeopleNet Core HR really shines as a flexible product capable of evolving with an organization's changing needs. Its robust features, cloud based architecture, and performance analysis help push the product ahead of some of its competitors. While not perfect, the software offers in-depth performance review functions and data analysis tools that show performance trends. With its self administrative tools, employees can help manage their own information, reducing workload for HR managers

    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.
