Verint Community vs. Verint Voice of the Customer

If you need a community platform that's very versatile and has a relatively low entry-cost to get started, Verint is a good pick. If you need a solution that is guaranteed to work seamlessly and have no hiccups or issues overall, it is not well suited. Although it is a SAAS solution, some of the aspects of the platform do not make it seem so.

Verint is very well suited for the corporate enterprise market as it has sufficient granular permission controls, feature rich and scalable. Their pricing model is also very cost effective as it doesn't punish you for being successful (getting lots of submissions or responses). If you are considering Verint, you should ask very specific questions for functionality to make sure it is covered.

• Forums - organizing forum questions and identifying answered
• Various layouts of blogs, divided by groups to enable different or similar layouts throughout the site. Ability to enable all to view the same or have particular groups of blogs to stand out and have it's own look and feel
• ability to customize widgets to the needs of your use case

• Flexible for making changes to survey questions, layout, and text
• Great tracking of customer responses as well as ease of integrating Google Analytics for additional tracking
• Support team was very knowledgeable and responses to requests

• The terminology of some reports, and how the reports work, is not always clear at first. More could be done to educate on getting the most from reporting.
• If there is a bug in your version, you are advised to apply a service pack which is not always possible to do. Not easy to get fixes for bugs.

• Does simple very well, but complicated not as well. It is NOT a survey system.
• Some of the reports are still a bit old for display, but new features have been released recently giving more options.
• Standard deployment templates may be a bit limited for customization, or you need to go to fully customized and do the development yourself.

I am not part of this decision making process, but I did provide positive feedback to the decision making board.

The cost versus product is a good value, so it all depends on the customer's needs/wants, and of course, budget

If you are an experienced online community professional, Verint offers the flexibility you need. You do need to have a lot of expertise if you want to build a solid user experience because there isn't a template out-of-the-box that is just ready to go for various use cases. It will take awhile to fully understand the capabilities of Verint Community.

Overall usability is easy and while I have been using it for years and used to it, new users seem to be able to create surveys without any training or hand holding. Simply create a login and they can figure it out themselves quickly because of the intuitive nature of the layout. Verint could use to improve or update the user interface as it seems very dated visually.

While the support portal (cases) is helpful, I've been even more impressed by their own support community. I always get quick, thoughtful, and interesting answers to my questions from support personnel, in-house developers, other users, and even the VP/GM himself! They have a really wonderful thing going there.

Every support contact I have had, be it by email, live chat or phone, I have had my issue resolved very quickly, efficiently and professionally by a knowledgeable and well trained support team member. Having worked in technical support many years ago myself, I can appreciate the level of service and quality of support offered by Verint. I would, without hesitation, say that Verint offers one of the best support experiences out there.

all customizations should be under warranty so that you get the right level of support from the 3rd party

Both Higher Logic and Khoros came in with very few benefits compared to Verint with a much higher price point, and potential for additional expenses. With Verint, we added some initial implementation services but were able to plainly see and understand any future financial impact, whereas other vendors were much more ambiguous about how much we might pay for services we might need in the future. Both other vendors seemed to have plenty of integration options, but very specific ones (e.g. We have a CRM integration... if you use Salesforce. We have an LMS integration... if you use [this vendor]). Knowing that their out-of-the-box integrations were not in our existing tech stack made for a very unclear path forward

ForeSee offers data that is complimentary to Domo. ForeSee wins on ease of use, simple navigation and practical data from the consumer! ForeSee could be deadly when paired with Domo. The ability to pair sales with customer engagement visually is a valuable tool. ForeSee has the visual modeling down and can handle multiple data sets.

Highly scalable system with the ability to expand to an increasing number of users and communities

• Verint Community has helped to gain more than one lakh users which shows that the platform is extremely stable and engaging. This helped for more brand awareness and e-commerce conversion rates
• We have had huge problems with non English countries where this platform's limitations has caused huge number of loss and less user count. Hopefully this is fixed soon.
