NICE Uptivity vs. Verint Workforce Management

I really like the easy implementation of NICE Uptivity and getting familiar with all its features it takes no time and through the software, it's quite simple to generate the most effective and required services quality. Customer experience is excellent and useful business files management and easy access to various project documents and other data. Task management and easy project planning NICE Uptivity is a great choice and the performance of the tool is perfect.

Verint WFM enables employees to have a predictable schedule that they can control the changes they need to make (creating flexibility and amazing employee engagement). Verint is a nice one-stop shop for all data and metrics with the scorecards, too

• Uptivity's platform is easy to use and doesn't take a lot of training to use either as a user or as an admin.
• Uptivity's platform is easy to troubleshoot and rarely has any issues in capturing all calls.

• Forecasting. We are regularly 97% - 99% accurate on our forecasts.
• Performance Management - Verint does an excellent job allowing the business to create custom KPIs and the ability to track employee's performance.
• Measuring Back Office workload and Performance - We use DPA with WFM to track administrative tasks and total workload to allow us to create an accurate staffing model.

• Receiving support is sometimes hard to get in my experience.
• Other than that, nothing. It does what is says it does!

Incentivized

• Ability to properly optimize events, classes, coachings, etc for Outbound specific groups.
• Having Verint forecast lists for queues after adding historical weeks in.
• Removing someone from a class that has moved to another organization and is no longer visible within mine.
• No limit on the number of pauses. This is causing a major issue at my company around adherence and a lot of unnecessary time for my team to go in and add exceptions in order to have their adherence look correct.
• When submitting a coaching request in the module, give the submitter the ability to select all of their employees but also select only one employee per session. This is the biggest complaint among the staff about using the Coaching Module. They don't like that they have to submit multiple requests for One-on-Ones for each employee and would prefer to submit one request and have it communicated to Verint Workforce Management that there should only be one person in each session.
• Sorting by shift event time is no longer an option in the Calendar screen.
• I preferred the Calendar screen when I was able to view all employees at once, and now it is limited to 50 per page.

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.

Overall it functions as intended and needed to manage staffing. I would like to see more improvements in FTE requirement calculations that help us enable use of staffing ribbons & further automation.

Some support cases are resolved quickly while others take long periods of time.

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.

Incentivized

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.

I wasn't the primary on the implementation but we did run into a few issues that took a while to get resolved

I could say that it is compared in a more personal way, since it is not a very well-known tool, many of its functions are for more private teams and for specific organizations.

Another product we use is Intradiem. I don't use it that much and we also use Genesys Decisions, but I feel like Genesys Decisions is completely different from Vernint in itself and there's no comparison for what we use it for because we use it more for forecasting, like scheduling events for our customer service reps to be available at certain on peak and off-peak hours to make sure we have the right staff. And I don't really use it, so we have 10 engineers and we all do different products and I don't use Intradiem that much, so I wouldn't be able to say all good.

• its been the same program we have used since working for KM
• provides a call system for employees to use
• user friendly interface

• We were then able to recognize trends and patterns
• Once trends and productivity issues were addressed, we could then manage workflow and day to day activities such as training and meetings - ultimately optimizing time, forecasting, and staffing expectations.
• Meeting service level goals is now manageable in most cases, allowing improvement across the board.
