Overall Satisfaction with Verint Community

We use Verint Community to run our global community website for electrical engineers. We needed a platform that was scalable, allowed for localisation, could be self-hosted (in Azure), was extremely customisable (including features in the content editor), and had a regular release cycle for product updates. Verint Community ticked all the boxes.
  • Customisable
  • Scalable
  • Self-hosted
  • Various hosting options
  • Supports Localisation
  • Product ideas raised by users of the platform take a long time to get implemented (if ever), with little feedback from the company on the progress of the idea, and where it is in their process.
  • There's no developer advocate, or programme of events for bringing the developers together. Jive Software did a really good job of this in the past.
  • Development documentation is okay, but lacks code examples showing how to use the (many) APIs available.
  • Could really do with a GitHub repo of working examples to help get developers up-to-speed more quickly.
  • If you find a bug, there's not usually any way to get a hotfix.. so you're left waiting for a version upgrade to have the problem addressed, which can take months, even for serious issues.
  • Highly customisable
  • Scalable
  • Regular releases
  • Flexible platform for hosting our community
  • Allowed us to integrate with our eCommerce sites to deliver additional revenue
Verint Community was a lot more customisable than the other platforms we looked at, it was also one of the few that could be self-hosted (for us, we chose to deploy it in our own Azure environment).

Would you buy Verint Community again?

Yes

The Verint Community is a scalable platform that allows for localisation, and can be self-hosted (in Azure) as well as having them host it for you. It's extremely customisable (including features in the content editor), and has a regular release cycle for product updates. They way it can be customised makes it relatively straight forward for technically-minded staff to make tweaks without needing a full dev team.
