[24]7 Assist vs. Verint Workforce Engagement (discontinued)

It is well suited to companies who have large numbers of Inbound-Outbound call traffic. And where the number of agents handling such calls is very large (>10,000). For companies having less call traffic, this solution won't be cost-effective. Also, it is appropriate for companies looking to improve their CSAT score.

• Easy to scale up, especially for a company with staff in different locations.
• Real-time adherence, compatible with non-telephony systems, particularly webchat and email.
• Highly customizable system for administrators and resource planners.
• Time off management including automated holidays, shift swap.
• Requires specialist support to get the system working.

Incentivized

• It supports chat & multiple messaging channel interactions from a single terminal
• Native & Custom integrations enable embedding widgets into the existing CRM systems

Incentivized

• 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 User Interface can be improved & made to look much more contemporary & next-gen
• Implementation can be made more simpler
• Training & Troubleshooting knowledge transfer can be improved

Incentivized

• 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

Honestly, from what I hear from other industry experts, other WFO systems have the same support issues we have with Verint. We know the product and the system is maturing and becoming more stable. The business has no issue with the Verint product and is seeking to grow not only what we have in place today, but are very interested in other products, such as BackOffice Analytics, that Verint has to offer. I would just love to see a stronger partnership with Avaya.

Because its great

Because its excellent tool

I do not have any key insights regarding implementation of Verint

[24]7 Assist offers better value for money & much higher level of customization as compared to other solutions. The AI feature works well & the integration with existing CRM is very smooth. Unified desktop interactions for chat & multiple channel messaging are very effective features of the solution & enable agent interaction much more fructified.

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.

Incentivized

• Improved CSAT score
• Operating cost saving up to 30%
• Better Customer engagement & 20% more lead conversion

Incentivized

• It has a great ROI in that, if this is setup correctly, it will tie scheduling with adherence and therefore make setting staffing levels a breeze
• Employee efficiency was also up because of scorecards and adherence client which keeps agents on the ball
