Likelihood to Recommend Skedulo fits our needs for scheduling and uploading documentation for our medical research studies. Our phlebotomists are able to accept and decline jobs based on their availability and are able to give a decline reason. This is invaluable to us as time is important, and getting these appointments scheduled is imperative.
Read full review 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.

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. Read full review Cons Occasionally it will not locate an available consultant because they put their block in on top of a previous appointment -- overlapping causes issues Fix it so the human errors of us inputting blocks is not so "perfect" Read full review 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 Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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.

Read full review Alternatives Considered We actually use Skedulo as our only dispatching appointment program.
Salesforce is not like Skedulo, but we use them together daily to ensure on-time specimen draws, delivery, and payout for all visits completed. Skedulo is very easy to interface with other programs.
Read full review Nice - a little more costly than Verint. Qfiniti - no comparison - Verint is so much more!! Automony Aspect We 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.
Read full review Return on Investment Lengthy implementation window due to high degree of change management FTE efficiencies not yet fully realized; assumed higher levels of automation Enable customer innovation and new Self Serve booking capability Read full review 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. Read full review ScreenShots
