    It's great if you have a small contact center and are very comfortable with Vantage Point's coding, and you don't use Macs. Outside of that it can be a pretty tough platform to use. If you are running a large contact center or anything that will change much, I wouldn't recommend Vantage Point

    Verint Monet has been a great tool for someone, like myself, who has had little to no WFM experience the opportunity to learn and grow along with learning and utilizing the tool. One of the biggest contributors to this success, I feel, is the Verint Monet support team. Our contact center has been able to build a rapport with them and they have a clear understanding of our needs.

    Cons
    Pipkins
    • Predications are not accurate, much less than 80% they advertise
    • Price point is high
    • Try to charge you for indicators [that] would be free on literally any platform, MACD for example

    • Should better show chart for better analysis.
    • Filter is resetting every time I open the tool.
    • Some reports can be included or combined in one place.

    Because it's almost a year and they still haven't fixed the issues we're having in terms of feeding data from Talkdesk OMNIchannel, as promised.

    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

    We didn't have a clear operating agreement, and whenever we would call or email them they would tell us they were working on something, then we wouldn't hear back. We could have solved the problems ourselves if we had known we needed to - poor communication

    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

    We picked Vantage Point based on functionality and price. We wanted something that was purely wfm and not anything else. Vantage Point has an a la carte solution and is very economical. In some ways, the failure of Vantage Point for our application wasn't Vantage Point's fault. We didn't dedicate as many resources as needed. That said, we didn't feel we got any support from their team

    I have had the opportunity to see many of the other Verint Monet products at Engage but our Contact Center does not use them or have a need to at this time.

    Return on Investment
    Pipkins
    • Not much impact.
    • Learned we needed to dedicate a full FTE to just program/manage Vantage Point.
    • We eventually built our own scheduling tool since it was not intuitive.

    • Positive in a way [because] we can manage our daily staffing.
    • [It helps] planning [the] schedule ahead of time.
    • [It would be] best if we [could] customize the interface based on [the] company's aesthetic.
