NICE Nexidia Predictive Behavioral Routing vs Verint Workforce Engagement (discontinued)

Likelihood to Recommend

Mattersight Predictive Behavioral Routing (PBR) would be very well suited for larger call/contact center environments. The overall benefit grows when there are many agents that handle similar call types. Additionally, the PBR database continues to grow. However, depending on the organization, getting the most of the benefits from the system requires the database to have phone numbers that are likely to call in to the center. Therefore, it would be beneficial for them to collect the calls that are being received so the phone numbers of future calls are in the database.

On a whole Verint WFO is well suited to our business, it provides exactly what we need for forecasting & scheduling along with an very intuitive holiday booking system, throw in the adherence piece and score cards that are available all in all the system is very robust. It is easy to use once you've received the proper training provided by Verint and they are always on hand to support when issues arise, but in the last 5 years I have had roughly 4 issues and 1 of those was my own mistake and not the system so I think that is a strong point for them.

Blended forecasting – shift variety.
Verint Workforce Optimization has the ability to schedule blended shifts, e.g. agents could theoretically be on chats in the morning, phones for an hour after lunch, then back on chats in the afternoon.
Automated task scheduling - educated planning.
We'll be able to automate the scheduling of meetings, training, or coaching without impacting service levels. For team leaders, this will alleviate the need to guess the most appropriate timings.
Scorecard reporting –Visibility over performance.
Scorecards are a ‘one-stop-shop’ to view individual performance. They allow for performance-based data capture and reporting, giving greater transparency and access to data on performance at an agent level.

I think the system needs better documentation, hard to find all the features and where to configure things
I think the system should come with all the plugs in upgrades they change you extra for, a little to much nickel and dimeing on getting all the needed features
Email notifications for out of adherence were sometimes inconsistent, and this was not fixed with all the different upgrades and patches on WFM version 10.1

Verint Workforce Engagement (discontinued) 7.2

Based on 8 answers

Honestly, from what I hear from other industry experts, other WFO systems have the same support issues we have with Verint. We know the product and the system is maturing and becoming more stable. The business has no issue with the Verint product and is seeking to grow not only what we have in place today, but are very interested in other products, such as BackOffice Analytics, that Verint has to offer. I would just love to see a stronger partnership with Avaya.

The sales team was knowledgeable; easy to work with; their list of clients was impressive, and the cost was right. The free trial was essential to us testing the product.

Nice - a little more costly than Verint.Qfiniti - no comparison - Verint is so much more!!Automony AspectWe selected Verint because of the options that were well suited for our organization. There are several providers that do not compare against these top providers so remember...you get what you pay for. You have to think of it in terms of the value in addition to the "need at hand" that this system can bring to you.

The system require constant manual oversight to keep it running. The Monitoring tool provided is very unstable and cannot be relied upon.
User Administration is cumbersome and time-consuming. There is a lot of redundant effort required to set up new users.
The integration between WFM and the Recording platform is shaky, and will often stop syncing for now apparent reason.
