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/Telligent can support internal or external communities. The automation rules make Telligent well suited for product support alerts used in external communities and email notifications regarding member inactivity that can be used for external and internal communities.

Telligent is comprised of various applications that may be added to any group. Applications such as: forums, wiki, blogs, ideas, calendar and galleries. This allows for a wide range of content. The applications used by Telligent allow for a sub forum or sub group model, making it ideal for a variety of community use cases.

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.
It is very well-suited to peer-to-peer benchmarking as information can be organized and retained far better than email lists.
News digests and robust subscription options make it easy for members to get the right amount of notifications.

It appears less able to integrate interesting community content into other enterprise products like SharePoint / MS365 than some competitors like ServiceNow.

We use the Verint platform for our Community, which is primarily used for customers to ask questions and solve problems. We also use Idea Exchange, wikis and blogs.
  • simple to set up and launch
  • metrics reporting
  • customization
  • role-based permissions
  • ability to move a wiki post to a discussion forum
  • ability to run metrics by customer name or email in large batches - automated
The Verint Community provides an easy-to-use platform for forums, wikis, blogs and idea exchange. It allows us to build a community based on our customers' needs and it allows us to make continuous improvements and customizations to meet those needs fairly easily.

We have 196 private, external Verint Communities set up for our members. This provides our members with a place they can connect outside of email and our regularly scheduled member programming. The private groups also act as a content depository for easy access to materials.
  • Great customer service
  • Community is user friendly
  • Appreciate the ability to customize our groups per our specific group needs
  • Ability to update "hot fixes" verse full software upgrades
  • Increase visibility into upgrade timelines and offerings
  • Provide quicker turnaround to address top rated ideas for added features/fixes within the software
When researching Community providers, Verint was the best considering functionality and ability to customize.

I use Verint Community to manage our private community of professional service providers. We provide software that helps them manage their firms and provide services to their clients, and they use our forums to discuss our products, business practices, client management, and growth strategies.
  • User access is robust.
  • The platform is extremely configurable.
  • Integrations are easy.
  • Analytics could be improved.
  • Emails are not configurable.
Verint can be exactly what you want it to be - use the APIs, add embeddable, customize with SocialEdge, and you'll have the forum of your dreams. If you are looking for something basic, this is not for you. The selling point for Verint is how configurable it is, but that also means it can be quite vanilla out of the box. You'll need to work with it a bit to make it special.

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.
  • Notifications
  • Role assignment
  • Automated moderation/integration with Akismet
  • SEO
  • Moderation interface
  • Out of box customization
  • Better admin interface
It is a good "basic" platform but lacks 2-way communication with Akismet, which does not allow the system to learn what needs to be moderated or not and adapt to new ways of spam detection and blocking. Problems with SEO metadata; it adds information on it's own instead of letting the expert add only the information it actually wants to send - restricting character input to 65 characters. The system adds all the rest without any chance of removing what it adds. I feel it is frustrating.

Works great with Q&A and discussions but, when moderating one response, it actually breaks the navigation and you have to go back to the main page in order to resume navigation. The old versions had a notification telling customers that the page was under review when there was a moderation action. Now it shows the only page as a 404 error "you ran into a bump on the internet", in my opinion, it's not good.

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.
It is appropriate for relatively advanced external online community teams that have a clear sense of what they want to build. If you have a development team, this is the online community platform for you! It is much more flexible than other platforms. It is an excellent replacement for Jive-x external online communities (you can almost lift and shift). I would not recommend it for internal, employee social intranets or enterprise social networks because it doesn't have the file collaboration functionality and doesn't integrate with Microsoft 365 or Google Enterprise.
