We chose to migrate our robust, customer support community to the Verint/Telligent platform two years ago. Our public, external community serves our customers' product support needs and is also utilized by ADI engineers across the organization. We made the decision to move to Verint/Telligent after careful analysis of several community platforms. Verint/Telligent checked "all the boxes" and fulfilled our business needs for a platform that could continue to grow and evolve with our community.
- A wealth of OOTB functionality, keeping customization light if preferred.
- Insightful analytics built into the platform.
- Automation rules that can be written to update permissions and send emails. (Lots of capability to tap into here.)
- You can control permissions down to the content level.
- Accessing user view widgets for personalization.
- Blogs can be saved in draft state for editing and can be set to publish at a future date. I schedule out 3-4 weeks of content at a time!
- Because of the detailed permission structure it can take some time to assign permissions to new groups. I believe Telligent is working on permission inheritance for a future release.
- Cannot edit tags without editing content.
- Would like to be able to report on content by keyword. Results such as how many pieces of content contain a specific keyword, when they were created and by whom. Tag cloud is available but would like a report to share with our business units.
- Verint does not market this hidden gem.

Verint Community gives you all of the tools you need to manage a robust community for your customers
My company uses Verint Community to host and manage our online user community, connecting our customers, partners, employees, and anyone else interested in our products. Members share experiences, help solve technical challenges, stay up-to-date on company updates and product releases, access our training resources, and much more. The platform is extremely flexible and customizable, so the digital customer experience fits extremely well within our existing branding, making the site feel like "ours" instead of other platforms which are more obviously "an X community with the customer's branding and color scheme." This also gives the ability to configure the community actions and user experience to fit our needs on a whole-site and per-group basis, so the community can be the right thing, in the right place, at the right time, for all users. We also have moments where it feels like we've barely scratched the surface of what's possible and look to continue to leverage the flexibility extensively over the next year and beyond.
- Customization/flexibility - The platform can be truly made "yours." How far to take this can depend on what skillsets or budget you have available for customizations, but customers have an opportunity to provide an unparalleled experience for members. Almost every aspect of the site experience can be configured which seems to be a unique offering.
- Customer service - They have a very active community filled with fellow community managers and developers who are eager to support one another. The Verint staff is extremely engaged, always offering to help, accessible and transparent when sharing insights, and generally pleasant and supportive! The ideas for improvements that I've received from the Verint team or fellow customers have been invaluable.
- Affordable - In our vendor selection process, Verint came in among the lowest in price AND highest in value.
- Flexible hosting environment - Choose if you want them to host and manage the back end, or if you want to host yourself. Not having to worry about server maintenance is a huge weight off the customer's shoulders, and you don't have to decide whether to sacrifice hosting for flexibility.
- Integrations - The platform API is robust and well-documented, so you can integrate the site in any way you want into your existing systems if you have the proper knowledge.
- Edit - After doing some roadmap planning with my team for the next year, I'm extra excited about this flexibility. We've planned out some really interesting and impactful updates for our community members that would likely not be possible (or as easy) on other platforms.
- Transparent roadmap and ideation process - The Verint team really listens to their customers and implements improvements to the platform based on customer input. They readily share what's coming soon and keep realistic expectations on what will (or won't) be done and when.
- Edit - The most recent roadmap updates seem to have a well-planned schedule over the next year or so and are looking to benefit new and existing customers. Not all of the new functionality is relevant to me specifically, but I'm excited about the updates and how they'll impact me as an administrator and my community members.
- More flexible reporting - There are a lot of reporting options, but the inability to create your own custom reports is a challenge. I know this is a pain point for other customers and the Verint team is working on better ways to improve this. This can also be worked around by pulling data from the APIs or exporting to Excel and manipulating it in other ways which are not ideal, but worthwhile if the needs arise.
- Upgrade process - This can be cumbersome and daunting, even on a site hosted by Vertint. There is still a lot of responsibilty placed on the customer/site admins, but upgrades aren't forced either as the customer gets to choose when to perform the upgrade.
- Exporting - individiuaul content details are difficult to export from the system (e.g. a list of forum posts or ideas)
We use Verint community as a knowledge retention platform where users can find/ask questions for their issues. Currently this platform is being used more as a question-answer community, but we're trying to shape it up as a true global community. So, we've been hosting events, crow sourced content (Community Guides, etc.) and other advocate programs. With our community, we will be able to track ROI by seeing how many answers have been provided, and what are the issue trends that we're seeing with our products once a piece of content is pushed on the community. We've also deployed a federated search on our community which will enable us to track user journeys, and track deflections from previous already existing community threads.
- Open API
- Verint Marketplace
- Standard forums and layout
- Platform customisation
- Overall Platform reliability - I believe there's too many issues with outages, DDOS attacks, and over all performance of our community
- I believe there are a lack of documentation surround the product - We upgraded to v12 to fix the user reputation issue, and also got access to Audit logging. But there is no documentation surrounding audit logs. All those logs are alien to us.
- Discrepancies in reporting - The metrics changes slightly everytime you pull the same report.
Customers, users and Partners of our products alike, can find answers to their questions (Among another things, such as Recommended Reads, Blogs,etc) in the community 24/7, which reduces the call volume our Technical Support team receives, allowing to reduce the call wait for customers and at the same time allowing engineers to have more time to focus on their cases.

- Lack of Documentation
Verint community is used as our primary customer facing portal. It is the first place that prospective clients will go to to see what Sophos is about. It is used as a question and answer board with contribution from staff and community members. It is used for announcements from our Product Managers, with subgroups being owned by product managers so they may configure the groups as desired, with support from our team.
- The ability to change UI and layout as desired
- A great question and answer forum board to interact with customers
- API's and ability to integrate with other systems
- Verint marketplace
- The reporting aspect of the community needs to be entirely revamped. The alternative is that significant training material is published on how to best utilize the in-built reporting
- The Community platform is a SAAS solution, but there are currently very limited mitigations against DDOS attacks, a site can be brought down by a single IP address spamming your website
- Based on sentiments shared by colleagues: While the support can be good at times, in other instances issues raised as Critical can go unanswered for extended periods of time.
- The implementation of ideas sourced from the community. Some ideas have been highly requested for years and have still not made it into the product.
We use the Verint Community for both internal and external audiences. For our more than 40,000 customer users, it is an ideal collaboration tool and provides an efficient and easy way for us to serve up the resources they need to effectively use our solutions. Verint also serves as a primary communication tool for our internal employees, allowing them access to employment resources and news when they need it.
- Great customer service!
- A variety of notification options for end users to choose from
- Role based permissions
- Blog posts can be saved as drafts and scheduled
- Would like to see OOTB reports listing subscribers
- Permission settings within specific groups could be improved

A very good external community solution
We use the Verint Community to run our externally facing customer community. Our main use cases are:
Forums where anyone using our technology can ask questions
Technical blogs designed to educate and engage
Communities of Practice around topics like innovation and research
The community helps us address items like case deflection in the forums. We utilise blog posts to tell our developer audience about releases, updates, where Arm is present around the world. Blogs help us build thought leadership and awareness of our technology and its capabilities. The ability for our audience to engage with us in an open and transparent setting is vital to building relationships and helping people using our technology to progress. We also utilise calendar and event functionality to engage members around offline and online events. Providing pre and post content in the community helps us deliver engaging event experiences for attendees.

- An excellent customer community. The Verint community is full of extremely knowledgeable support staff to answer questions, and other customers who are always happy to share help, tips and tricks, and best practices. I find this an extremely valuable resource.
- There are a range of extremely helpful admin tools to help troubleshoot issues. One example is the impersonate feature that allows you to act as other users to see what problems they might be experiencing.
- The ability to configure features according to your needs, and leave out what you don't need is extremely helpful. It is easy to manage features and permissions across all the different groups and applications.
- 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.

Reclaim Your Community Evangelism Crown: Here's How
In 2011, INPO chose Verint Community to build its Nuclear Community platform for privately and securely connecting nuclear power workers with their peers at other stations and utilities. Over the years, our community of practice has expanded to support industry-wide knowledge capture, blended learning, peer-to-peer benchmarking and working group collaboration for over 11,000 members and 200+ industry working groups and functional areas, including Instructional Technologists, Fire Protection & Emergency Preparedness, Data Science, Organizational Effectiveness and Corrective Action Program owners. While many groups follow a predictable lifecycle, others have coalesced into close-knit, self-sustaining communities that interact with each other almost on a daily basis, building our shared culture of continuous improvement and driving excellence in operational safety and in the reliable operation of commercial nuclear power plants.
- Excellent documentation for site administrators and community managers
- Good APIs and 3rd-party integration support
- Excellent tech support and customization through professional services group
- Robust algorithms help connect users with related content and useful push notifications
- Top-notch reporting capabilities make it easy to gain insights into value provided by interactions within the community
- SaaS and on-premises configurations available
- Automations, leaderboards, ideation, and role-based permissions offer efficiency and flexibility
- Product has proven track record
- Built-in themes are limited and require licensed 3rd party plug-ins or web developer to design more engaging user experiences than what is available out-of-the-box.
- Most worrisome: Community seems to be Verint's forgotten product despite being solid and dependable. Engage conference features less and less content each year for this product. Little to no promotion, tutorials or how-to videos make this appear to be a less important focus for the company compared to their other products, which many users don't particularly need.
- There's a reason the Community product was at the top of Gartner's list more than a decade ago. Your team was a leader in this category. Even though the enterprise community software segment has changed in the ensuing years, building sustainable communities is now more difficult than ever. Those of us responsible for building communities need your voice and leadership more than ever.
- Please be vocal champions of "community of practice methodology" and what you know better than most of your competitors: The best practices of building and sustaining communities of practice.

Good place to start. bad for reporting and customization
We use it mostly as an organic community (Q&A, discussions, etc.) of users and experts answering other users' questions on the support side, providing an extra layer of support and on the marketing side, posting blogs and relevant product information, features, and overall one-way communications to all of our customers and future customers.

Verint Community is used as the platform that hosts an external online community to support connecting early childhood systems builders and professionals across the United States. It allows for peer-to-peer connections to form organically, provides a place for people from different organizations to work together on complex problems, provides a place for members to crowdsource and discuss resources from across the early childhood field, and ask for help and guidance from peers.
- Open API allows for integrations and custom development work so that you can enhance the out-of-the-box features
- Flexible back-end system administration and design elements that allow you to create the user experience that makes sense for your community and use cases
- Strong discussion forum functionality with multi-level threading
- Ability to create an online community that has public-facing groups and content as well as member-only, private, and secret groups.
- Search is strong
- While still not ideal, the reports/analytics are stronger than some other community platforms
- The user experience out-of-the-box could be improved, especially the new member onboarding and welcoming experience. For example, it isn't easy for users to figure out how to subscribe to the various applications that are turned on for a group (blog, calendar/events, wikis, ideas); by default group members are only subscribed to discussion forums. We wish that system admins could define default notification, subscription, and email digest settings for users.
- The design of some of the widgets could be improved and made consistent across application types.
- You can do anything you want with the Verint Community platform if you have a developer or a development team -- if you don't, it can be costly to enhance the out-of-the-box features to get the experience you are trying to build for your members.
- The Automation Rules that have been enhanced recently hold a lot of promise, but need to be made easier for a non-programmer. Some standard automation rules need to be created in order to support driving desired member behaviors.
- The system does not allow for file collaboration and isn't integrated out-of-the-box with file storage platforms like Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, etc. -- having version control on uploaded files would be a welcome enhancement. This would allow us to build collaboration groups where people from various organizations could more easily collaborate together on files.

Our organization uses Verint Community to ensure that all employees have access to the knowledge, resources, and networks they need to do their jobs whether it's asking questions, sharing best practices, or collaborating with others. While it originally started with a focus on one segment of the company, it's since spread out across the organization allowing all our employees to come together in one location which has vastly improved cross-functional collaboration.
- Intuitive interface that has been well received by a wide range of employees.
- Ridiculously impressive moderation tools that have allowed a small community team to scale.
- Strong analytics that allow community staff and stakeholders to make intelligent decisions backed by data.
- Very strong search. Not quite Google good, but one of the best in platform searches encountered.
- Out of the box interface is excellent and requires little customization to get going.
- Permissions can be a bit time consuming since they must be set group by group instead of at an admin level.
- Needs more options for integration that don't require significant technical expertise.
