Verint WFM is used within GB and primarily in our biggest call center, we use it for all departments so we can track adherence and predominantly for the back office functionality. We widely use MY TIME in order to track all off-phone work that is being completed in order to quantify peoples' time worked and their primary Admin to be completed each day.
  • The forecasting & scheduling piece within Verint is second to none - It is easy to use, manipulate and the "what if" functionality is great when we are looking at trying new ways of working in terms of out incoming calls/emails & chat
  • Verint adherence is one of its biggest strengths, being able to add specific activities for different areas is a by far one of its biggest strengths. This allows for greater reporting and bespoke areas being built for each department.
  • Ability to add custom Time Off options is great, this means as a business we can builD accurate and robust Absence ratio reporting, we can also incorporate helping you back to work hours that you can build onto shifts so we can track time given back to individuals for graduated returns and also back to the business.
  • The support offered from Verint is another one of their strengths, they have a very quick turn around from when a case is raised to getting on the phone to arranging webex's to try and resolve the situation as swiftly as possible...
  • I'm actually really hard pushed to find anything that I struggle with when using Verint. It is an extremely good system, if I had to be picky I would say the only thing that slightly annoys me is the new tab format in version 15.1.
On a whole Verint WFO is well suited to our business, it provides exactly what we need for forecasting & scheduling along with an very intuitive holiday booking system, throw in the adherence piece and score cards that are available all in all the system is very robust. It is easy to use once you've received the proper training provided by Verint and they are always on hand to support when issues arise, but in the last 5 years I have had roughly 4 issues and 1 of those was my own mistake and not the system so I think that is a strong point for them.
  • Verint has a good ROI for our business - The My Time functionality that we use 100% of the time for our back office operations is extremely accurate in giving us what we need in terms of time spent completing a specific operation.
  • The only negative for us at the moment would be our calls have dropped recently so we are not optimizing the use of the forecasting tool but in saying that we have branched out into the OMNI channels so we have the added bonus of being able to now forecast for all media types.
I haven't actually used any other WFO solutions as yet Verint has been apart of our organization since 2008/9 and i have been managing it since 2013/14. I have looked at alternative solutions in the past but none seem to ever come up to the same standard as Verint in all areas. We recently upgraded from Version 11 to 15.1 so we are still in the early stages of getting to grip with the newer version and all the added functionality.

The applications are being used in support of call center management and quality monitoring by multiple business units. The applications help provide resource management and scheduling services along with monitoring and auditing of agent activities.
  • Verint's product meets the business need to perform resource management
  • Call monitoring (audio and video capture)
  • Trainers truly understand the products and are very helpful when engaged during the implementations
  • Products need to be able to support current operating system and Java revisions on a more timely basis
  • Implementation resources are often in high demand and engaging them often create delays, as they frequently don't use the same resource within the same project and for the same client. Delays occur when new resources need to be educated on information /history between resources
  • Project managers need to understand the products better so they can be engaged better with the implementations
This solution works well for organizations which have multiple sites and resources spread across multiple locations. Also for monitoring and auditing agent activities.
  • System realibility (up time) has allowed delivery of services to the operations, which has allowed them to focus call center activities
Moving towards enterprise solutions, these products support that direction. The decision to renew will be made by others, however, based on current organizational direction this is my understanding.

Used to develop a quality platform for over 6500 agents for call recording and quality assessment. We used it during training of new agents to help them hear how they sound on the phone, as well as, becoming aware of the mistakes they were making. On my own team I used it to perform the actual monitoring of agents (2 per week per agents) and on new employees we would perform at least 4 per week. We trained all departments in the organization to utilize the tool for more than quality assessment. We also used it to develop marketing analysis via performing call studies on various different teams.
  • I feel that Verint does an excellent job at the call recording aspect. Meaning it is easy to locate calls by DNIS or other tags.
  • Launching the product was easy to implement and migrate into our day-to-day business
  • Building a Library within the tool was simple.
  • Exporting calls made it easy to host calibration calls
  • At the time I was using Verint the analytic s were not awesome. I read results that they have improved upon that over the last year or so.
  • At the beginning of my retail experience we were trying to interface Verint and a quality platform (Qfiniti) but there were tons of technical issues. If you plan to interface just make sure the two platforms have a history of "working together"
Making sure the demo is done with your own organization's data would be one of the key things I would advise others of. This is critical because you want to see how the platform will perform and look with relevant data. Of course, well suited for call centers, quality control environments. Ensure that you will be able to drive actionable tasks as a result of using this platform. Merge systems together, i.e., (WFM, Voice of customer, Quality).
  • Call Studies - Do not underestimate how you can use this platform to drive ROI through call studies. We did several.
  • Call profiles - so we analyzed calls by segments - found that some folks spent in the average time on determining the customer needs but the great thing is can address the outliers.
  • Use data to help with pay for performance or shift bids (if in a call center environment).
Nice - a little more costly than Verint.
Qfiniti - no comparison - Verint is so much more!!
Automony
Aspect

We selected Verint because of the options that were well suited for our organization. There are several providers that do not compare against these top providers so remember...you get what you pay for. You have to think of it in terms of the value in addition to the "need at hand" that this system can bring to you.
My current company is a smaller family owned business (about 1500 employees) so the cost of bringing in this platform and the costs associated are a little high for the company budget. As I will move into a corporate structure again at some point in my future, I am sure I will use Verint again.

Retail - large scale provider that offers a wide range of services. In the call center world this retailer has approximately seventeen lines of business.

don't fool yourself - you will need a project manager and a system admin. I would recommend having a team (depending on the size of your organization) to utilize and develop reporting.
  • Voice of customer
  • Quality control
  • analytics
  • Call Studies

Verint is used by one of the business units in the organization with a capacity of 120 users. We needed Verint for quality monitoring to improve customer experience.
  • The end user interface and administration is easy to use
  • Ease to integrate with Avaya PBX based on my expertise
  • The Customer Survey application is excellent and has a well defined architecture to get accurate feedback for a CS representative
  • The solution is robust to work with
  • The DB architecture is little complex and has a dependency on how it integrates internally. This is not a big deal, but is not cost effective.
  • Single DB to manage complete Impact 360 solution is needed to reduce cost
Why do I need QM ?
What is the objective if Verint is implemented?
What features to look at?
Cost comparison with other competitive products?
Is there a need/scope to improve customer experience?
  • QM platform with latest software, DB
  • Improvement in Customer Service and experience
  • Better resource management
  • Improvement in training modules to train new employees
Nice Perform and Call Copy
- Verint has better user interface
- Easy to integrate
We have a business need for QM.
Product is stable.

We use the Workforce Management module, as well as Call Recording and Screen Capture. It is used across multiple Contact Centers, supporting about 1800 Agents. We are required to keep recordings for 3-10 years, depending on type. We use WFM as a scheduling & forecasting tool.
  • Verint offers a complete suite of integrated products for Contact Centers
  • Call recording is consistent
  • Calls are reliably encrypted for security purposes.
  • Customer Support resolution times are consistently long, our average resolution on trouble tickets is 12 days
  • Communication with our Account team is often delayed. We often have to wait multiple days for a response
  • Verint has a tendency to try and upsell us on new products in response to issues with our current product
I would not recommend Verint to a colleague. I would suggest NICE, Calabrio or CallCopy.
  • The system require constant manual oversight to keep it running. The Monitoring tool provided is very unstable and cannot be relied upon.
  • User Administration is cumbersome and time-consuming. There is a lot of redundant effort required to set up new users.
  • The integration between WFM and the Recording platform is shaky, and will often stop syncing for now apparent reason.
I was not involved in the selection process, however I have worked at 2 companies that replaced Verint with the NICE platform
The cost of ownership is very high. The annual maintenance agreement is astronomically expensive, as are user licenses. Simple projects require extensive pro fees, as the system is locked down so that we cannot do routine jobs (such as license updates) on-staff. Verint project managers are ineffective, we often have to guide them through the project ourselves. Support staff is unfamiliar with our environment, and we have to teach them as we work through issues. Support for version 10 is 100% off-shore, which requires us to work evenings to troubleshoot due to the time zone difference.
