Verint CX Automation vs. Zoom Contact Center

Well suited for advocate process streamlining - being able to assist advocate/agents with processes and guidelines. Also able to deliver automated work vs manual to assist with call. We need to enhance the back end data to support integration with other bots and data acknowledgment. I have found the tools we are building very helpful to agents/advocates, but to create an output based on these tool to monitor behavior has ben challenging

This tool has allowed us to identify each user's needs using different communication channels. It has also enabled us to establish a direct point of contact with Zoom's technical support by allowing us to document and escalate each situation requiring specialized assistance, which is the main reason we chose Zoom. I would recommend it to any colleague or company because it offers a wide variety of tools, and now with AI integration, the level of service has improved significantly.

• Their IVA product is great. No-code and best reps.
• They document EVERYTHING! There is a ton of knowledge to get info from
• The customization is great!

• The dashboards are fantastic because we can see if an agent isn't logged in or if there are a lot of customers waiting in the queues—we've never had that visibility before. We didn't have data to look back and see if we had enough staff to support the load. That helps us so much, especially when we're budgeting for the next Festival.
• The callback function saved us during last year’s festival. We had a street-wide internet outage during one of our busiest periods. But, in the time it took to fix the issue, Zoom Contact Center lined up callbacks. It was all so smooth. We didn’t need to trawl through voicemails or miss any queries - we could return everyone’s call within 30 minutes.
• Integration with our Zoom Phone configuration provides a seamless experience when transferring calls to those not on the Contact Centre. We can do a Warm Transfer, too, so it's a very professional experience.

• As someone who learned WFM and Verint CX Automation early this year the UI menus (how and where things are broken down) is not intuitive.
• Verint CX Automation can be a great resource but it's difficult to navigate and bookmarked pages get moved. For example the "What's New" page and corresponding Coming Soon in WFM and behavior changes pages have been moved twice in the last few months alone.
• The security privileges are also not very user friendly. When trying to trouble shoot what additional access needs ot be given to someone to gain access to a specific feature in the system it's not intuitive.
• Your release notes have changed sections and are not consistently published in the same place for availability. This inhibits our organization from reviewing them in advance and preparing for any changes or bug fixes we were unaware of and to setup our lab for testing.

• Too many bugs in logging, a consumer hangup may result in Overflow to disconnect, which is not even a behavior in our phone system; Zoom acknowledged the bug, took months to implement a fix, and it's still not fixed (TS0053591)
• Logs are in two places, for instance, if a patient complains that they called 10x and no one called them back, we have to look at the logs in Zoom CC and Zoom Phone to get the full story of what happened. Concatenating log files is something I haven't done in at least 10 years, so strange that Zoom needs this.
• Zoom Contact Center still has "bolt-on" feeling to it, needs to be more integrated—see logging issue above.
• Reports are underwhelming and not easy to get to the data you need, which is different from the administration part of the contact center itself which is so fantastic. It feels like reports were designed by a different dev group, headed by someone who probably used to work at Mitel for years or somewhere where everything is cumbersome.
• Zoom Glossary is large but still does not have all terms, which defeats the purpose of a glossary.
• General Zoom support is now slow and underwhelming. It used to be fast and good, now they take forever and ask you the same questions multiple times and don't seem to fully understand answers. Feels like some McKinsey consultant decision from the 90s: ship support overseas to cheapen the cost and incentivize customers to pay for some higher tier of support where they will actually get support. I'd expect this from competitors, but disappointed to see it happen at Zoom. Our actual zoom support reps are very good, and this comment is about the general "contact Zoom support" inquiry form.

Based on my personal experience and the experience I have seen and heard from others in the industry. While I cannot disclose specific details on my personal experience, I feel like most who have used it have benefitted from its usability

It is rare to have to explain a lot to a user on how to use Zoom Contact Center. It makes sense, provides plenty of options without being overbearing, and we have rarely had issues come back that I need to regularly change or update to accommodate things like bugs or design issues

We have the five9 version of Verint CX Automation which took the place of Business IC Manager. The ease of use and real time coaching capabilities have been instrumental to give immediate coaching and understanding what our customer agents are doing at any given time. The canned reporting and transcription could improve.

It is a good product that fits our needs, we considered using the Contact Center despite the fact of still lacking important capabilities (we think it is till s in its "toddler" age) because we see how rapidly Zoom builds their products and add functionality to it, and because we already are using Zoom Meetings, Phone and others, it just makes sense to use Contact Center because of the potential capabilities and integration; it just made sense, and so far so good, but only time will tell.

• Verint CX Automation lacks the Training expertise to assist clients to make the best of the software
• If existing Verint WFO/WFM experience exists on staff, Verint CX Automation can be taken to the next level.
• The product and company itself is rock solid, you can never go wrong with Verint as the name itself brings confidence to businesses

• We were able to cut our communication costs significantly and gain features we could have only dreamed of prior.
• The contact center platform is head and shoulders above some of their competitors. This allows our team to quickly assist our customers with their questions and concerns.
