    If you wish to quickly deploy multilingual chatbots without having to worry about infrastructure and model training, go for Amazon Lex. It is one of the best general-purpose conversational AI solutions in the market. The cherry on the cake is that it also seamlessly integrates with other AWS services, so you would be good there. Performance monitoring is very easy with AWS. It has support for both text and integration. If you are not a pro-NLP expert, Amazon Lex will make your job really easy.

    The IVA is very well suited to handle routine questions and basic actions that would typically require customer support. It may be a little more challenged handling edge cases but in those instances we have found it provides an easy transfer to a live agent

    Verint
    • There is minimal documentation around what we can and can't do for IVA
    • IVA seems to be a newer product so this is difficult when trying to implement new things
    • IVA has a lot of non-Verint friendly terms (Think Prompt, vs. answer or Intent/Alternate vs. context).

    Usability
    Amazon AWS
    Easy to deploy and very easy to integrate with other AWS services. Automating simple tasks is also very easy with Amazon Lex. We never had NLP experts in our team, but we were still able to deploy chatbots for our support functions with minimal issues. Native integration with other AWS services like S3 and Lambda has been of paramount importance.

    Support Rating
    Amazon AWS
    Community support for Amazon Lex is good. Also, since it is an AWS service, the support has a similar standard as other AWS services. We have had a couple of instances of our bots weren't able to interact with our web apps. We reached out to the support team, and they were able to resolve our issue in no time. The documentation from the Amazon Lex team also makes creating chatbots a breeze.

    Verint Intelligent Virtual Assistant had more features and functionality than the Genesys product as well as customization and further options for internal system integration to our existing on-prem systems. In addition, we also had a rapport with other Verint products and were more familiar with their AI capabilities, making them the obvious choice.
