    In my experience, a lot of the times Verint Speech and Text Analytics is going to be the cheapest solution and this would be a good reason for a Business that does NOT currently have any solution whatsoever to get in at the cheaper price point. I think Verint does things well for a company that has not been in another solution that does it better. And Verint Speech and Text Analytics has a lot of areas that it can help business with that have not been in a different solution

    Zendesk Talk is a great partner that helps us in the customer care area by managing every type of contact with customers (both phone calls and emails). I know there is also the possibility to have integration with instant messaging apps (like messenger and WhatsApp but I have never used them in my experience). In my opinion, the best scenario for Zendesk Talk is represented by a context with a high amount of contacts/requests where a unique platform could be a help both on the external side (customers) and on the internal side (a lot of colleagues who are working in the same area and have to work in a coordinate way). For customers, they could benefit from tailor-made answers, also based on past contacts for the same topic, and avoid waiting times during phone calls, with an immediate follow-up. For internal work management, operators don't overlap in a single request, and even if the same operator is not available the one who manages the request later has complete visibility of the entire topic from the historical point of view. Last but not least, I think that Zendesk Talk helps a lot in the context in which the request's speed is a KPI to manage constantly.

    Pros
    Verint
    • One of the things that I find extremely beneficial about Verint Speech Analytics is the transcription. Sometimes you have an hour call, an hour and a half call, and you don't have time to listen to an hour and a half call. The beauty is that we can find the transcription and then we can look in it. It specifies where if you look in the interaction details in the back of the call, you can actually see the transcription. You can see it'll identify where in the call, what line at what timestamp did that call hit your category and with what string, with what term did it hit. And that is extremely beneficial. And we're trying to go through and find those little points of, sometimes they're points of abrasion, sometimes there are things that are going really well. I love that we have a transcription. I love that we can also see the screens that is vital because a lot of times, and again, not that we're trying to find something bad, but the reality is in any industry, there's in any call center environment, should I say, there's call avoidance. There's always going to be some agents, it's just in any call center, in any industry, it happens.
    • Or sometimes our agents are just struggling. And if you see in real life, for example, a very high silence time, when we notice a trend, we'll start going into those calls and actually looking at those screens and seeing, is silence time call avoidance or could it be the agents are having difficulty utilizing the resources? Are the resources not clear? Is that what the delay is? Are they having trouble trying to find the answer? And a lot of times we found that too. We found they're searching and clicking and searching and clicking and it's because they just didn't know where to go. So that is a coaching opportunity. And sometimes it's a coaching opportunity, not so much in a positive way because they're purchasing things from Amazon. But I think, like I said, that's inherent in any call center environment. I do find the screens, the transcription, the trend analysis that's available within speech, there are so many things I could literally sit here and talk to you for quite some time.
    • We love it. And I'm even more excited personally now because I learned so much, as I was saying, about being in the cloud and being in that open-source environment where all of these enhancements that Verint has. And they're so often that they enhance their products and their offering now these little bots and AI to help with all of these different aspects, but that's only available if you're in the cloud and the open source. So there's a lot of benefit in being in prem, in net platform, which is where we are. And we were able to provide a lot of meaningful insight and guidance into a lot of different pain points in the company. But I anticipate, and I have full confidence, that we'd be a much more effective team once we're able to move into the cloud. So I'm very hopeful for that. I'm anticipating what else we could discover.

    • Call recording is a nice feature! It is great for training purposes and for quality assurance.
    • The metrics you get from Explore are a great insight into how the team is handling the call volumes.
    • Zendesk Talk has met most of our needs. It can be a bit unreliable at times.

    Cons
    Verint
    • Automated scrubbing of PCI and PII data from transcription transcripts and recordings. Using AI to detect the payment screens in a real time manner vs having to program triggers.
    • Easier way to bulk export transcriptions and recordings for our legal teams.

    • The lag on the phone is by far the most annoying thing with Zendesk talk due to the voice over IP.
    • Using the Reporting feature in Zendesk has never been a walk in the park. We have to customize a lot of fields and when something doesn't seem to add up, it at times feels like pulling teeth to get to the final answer of what went wrong.

    Easy to use, the language model can be custom-tuned to your company's specific lingo and terms. It also has great front-end reporting and ease of back-end custom reports and integrations to the rest of the Verint ecosystem. This is a one-stop shop for great insights and a stepping stone to much more.

    Everything about it works, as I have previously detailed. Coming from different companies and using other tools like Twilio or Aircall, those are VOIP tools that are built to be plugged into other tools, Zendesk Talk is natively built into Zendesk and feels correct in the user experience of Zendesk

    In our experience, we have had to go through many support people then ultimately getting frustrated enough to go directly to our point of contact who then doesn't always seem to be able to assist. We tend to get the support we need when it is escalated up to me and I reach out to our point of a contact person to express our frustration.

    We did not have anything like this before but we did go through a long review and found out no other company had everything we needed. With our security and technology department we did decide that this was the best product for our business. Have all great thing to say and would recommend this to everyone

    Slack and Zoom phones cannot compare because they have no ticketing systems. Zendesk Talk was the only option we considered because we were already using Zendesk for our email ticketing with customer concerns. We then expanded to using Zendesk's chatbot and then the Zendesk Talk system to keep it all integrated and streamlined.

    • We are still developing ROI; we have a lot of data, but it's hard to get insights from the data at times. Adoption is something we are working on evaluating.
    • We have alerts that have saved us $ on benefit quoting errors.

    • We were able to reduce global headcount by 20% in our call centers.
    • Allowing customers to leave voicemails creates the personal touch needed and really increases our customer connectivity score. We saw increases in our CSAT scores after the implementation of this solution.
    • Call handling time and case reopen rates both decreased. Y/y it decreased 18% and 60%.
