Overall Satisfaction with Verint Community (Telligent Community)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Return on Investment

Improved flow of knowledge and communication.
More visible collaboration that has reduced redundant efforts.

Alternatives Considered

Khoros Communities (Formerly Spredfast + Lithium), Jive, Atlassian Confluence and MS SharePoint

Verint Community scored significantly better in our RFI efforts than all the other platforms considered. Ultimately we also needed a platform that could be deployed on-premise on our own servers and Verint was able to easily deliver.

Support Rating

While the support portal (cases) is helpful, I've been even more impressed by their own support community. I always get quick, thoughtful, and interesting answers to my questions from support personnel, in-house developers, other users, and even the VP/GM himself! They have a really wonderful thing going there.

Usability

Other than a few users who have come into the platform expecting complete control of the look and feel, most of our users have found the platform very easy to use. They often remark that it's just like other sites they've used outside of work such as user groups, forums, etc.

From the admin side, it's pretty usable too! We haven't had too many head scratcher moments.

Likelihood to Recommend

Verint Community is surprisingly applicable in both internal and external use cases. I would absolutely recommend it for external communities with a focus on support as the behind the scenes analytics and moderation would make it a breeze to manage. And I'd just as equally recommend it for internal communities with a wide array of subjects and areas to host discussions around.
