QEval vs. Verint Monet & Impact 360 (discontinued)

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.

• Data feeding has been a concern for multi-channeled contact center
• It only does basic scheduling functionalities
• It only does basic forecasting functionalities
• It only does basic intraday functionalities
• Could offer some WFM consultation even after the implementation
• Never partner with a co-vendor ie telephony platform like talkdesk if the tool isn't fully integrated

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.

Because the data feed for Chat and Email won't work and I can't forecast w/o the feed or I had to manually import data which consumes a lot of time

It's hard to report using their new platform. They ask lots of requirements that I think they can replicate. Or better yet, have a call with their customers to get the ticket resolved quicker

I do not have any key insights regarding implementation of Verint

Verint Monet is user-friendly and so easy to understand even for first-time users. It can be fully maximized not just by admin, but also by agents. Reporting and analytics have been made simple and easy to create an analysis with. It's not complicated to use Verint Monet at all! So far, it exceeds our expectations.

• It has a great ROI in that, if this is setup correctly, it will tie scheduling with adherence and therefore make setting staffing levels a breeze
• Employee efficiency was also up because of scorecards and adherence client which keeps agents on the ball
