Overall Satisfaction with Verint Workforce Optimization

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.
  • 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.
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.
