I believe that Verint Workforce Management Enterprise does offer a lot of potential for frontline leaders in the business to help manage staff, like adding coaching and overseeing performance through scorecards, however it is definitely not as fit for purpose as we would have hoped for the staff that oversees the application. The system is very dedicated to call centre metrics and results, but half of our business (physical stores) is unable to utilise these benefits (eg. combined queues, accurate FTE required/scheduled functionality across sites)

When I Work
I recommend When I Work to those companies that are looking for a way to manage work schedules and want to increase the productivity of all employees. This is an important platform that would bring excellent results to small, medium and large companies. This is a constant monitoring system which allows employees to complete their tasks in the indicated time, When I Work sends automated alerts when an employee is not complying with their tasks and this allows us to know exactly the productivity we are having in each one of the sectors. It is an excellent platform for planning and administration of working hours, it has a very easy-to-use UI that allows schedules to be easily managed. Without a doubt, When I Work would be a perfect implementation for any sector or company, since it has a lot of potential to collect exact data on compliance with working hours.

Pros
Verint
  • I love the color ribbons that can be set up universally for all our business lines.
  • The mobile application is easy to use and our agents love it.
  • I love the security within the application- customizing who gets what access is great!

When I Work
  • When I Work allowed me to color-code each employee's schedule.
  • When I Work allowed me to show who was "off" during what time of day. This was essential for morale, as our event included 16-18 hour days, and I wanted to show that everyone had down time each day.

Cons
Verint
  • When entering leave requests, each entry for a single person must be completed independently unless the days are consecutive. E.g., John wants a Tuesday and Thursday off in 1 week, but needs to work on Wednesday. 1 entry must be made for Tuesday, then another for Thursday, as multiple entries cannot be made at the same time.

  • You cannot view inactive employees on the app.
  • When pulling up the schedule on the app, it defaults to Tuesday when the screen is done loading.
  • If you pull up an individual's schedule it removes your default settings. For example, I have mine set to just my store, but if I need to see an employee's schedule it resets those defaults. You're always looking at the last schedule you pulled up.

Whilst Verint Workforce Management is doing much of the work we were hoping it would do, there are some limitations that cause hesitancy when deciding if it is the tool for the future. No further exploration has taken place to seek alternatives to date. It is good for the Contact element of our business but not for the rest of the business, meaning we have to use two planning tools currently.

Usability
Verint
I gave this rating because Verint Workforce Management consistently delivers accurate forecasts, clear visibility of staffing gaps, and reliable long‑term planning insights. It simplifies complex modelling, supports data‑driven decisions, and improves confidence in resourcing and budgeting. Overall, it strengthens workforce planning effectiveness and reduces the manual effort previously required. Thanks.

While it's one of the better apps, my only complaint is the icon layout of the dash; mouseover sometimes doesn't work for my system.

Training was covered in full day sessions that went very fast with no way of recording the information for later review. This made it hard to capture & retain all the details of information.

Training is more broad on specific use cases. It would be good to have training based on our current situations as we deal with so many unique setups & client needs.

Implementation Rating
Verint
The team helping us did a great job training our WFM leaders on how to use the tool from forecasting, to schedule updates to maintenance. They allowed us to be involved in implementation but also did a lot of the initial heavy lifting allowing us to stay focussed on the tasks at hand. It was a great experience and one I would hope occurs again should we ever need to implement a new tool again.

Alternatives Considered
Verint
Verint Workforce Management is superior in many ways to other programs, though there are aspects of the others that may be a bit better. Overall, Verint has more pros than cons when compared to other scheduling software, it is simply in need of improvement in some areas.

When I Work
When I Work seemed a bit easier to implement for our team and employees. When I Work had all the things we needed without a lot of the bells and whistles that we wouldn't really utilize. When I Work was also a bit more affordable for our budget. Overall, it was the better choice.

Return on Investment
Verint
  • Staffing optimization - With the Verint tool, we have been able to optimize our workforce, reduce our staff and centralize our processes.
  • Employee Engagement - Our employees always know where their performance stands so they can take ownership in their performance.
  • We have implemented WFM in several areas of the company and have been able to improve those departments which have never had a tool to help in back office operations.
