Workforce Management Software Features
Comparison of Workforce Management Software Features features of Product A and Product B
[My own feeling on the subject is] that large teams will probably enjoy the features much more than a smaller team. [In my opinion] I would not have signed up with Deputy had it not been for the integration with my payroll provider. [From my point of view] the cost is not worth it for a small team. [I've found] it has a lot of features geared towards big teams and those are not things you can "opt-out" of from a cost/tier standpoint [as far as I'm concerned].
For workforce management, more so in the customer care department, Verint Workforce Management is the best as it makes matching resources with needs easy. It enhances scheduling, and thanks to the smooth match, handling customer issues becomes easy, and this enhances customer experience.
Verint WFM does adherence very well. We were able to customize with our internal company goals which improved our productivity,
Strategic planner (forecasting). Although there are challenges at times given my company's unique set up, strategic planner has allowed us to paint a more accurate picture of the future.
Verint also processes PTO requests very smoothly and in a way that makes sense.
It is very technical. It is not something that you can just jump into. It took me a while to train my other contact center managers on how to use it and I just actually recently got an employee who was helping me manage the workforce management variance system and it just takes a lot of time and patience in order to learn the full gamut of how shifts go together. And this goes into this and you have to do one piece right or nothing else works in the end and the activities. It is just a lot when you come from not doing anything close to that.
The basic functionality and overall efficiency it provides is enough to renew. I still would like to see improvements in reporting and leave management, but overall it is absolutely worth it to have the program. I especially like having remote access and supervisors scheduling and approving time sheets of employees
It still functions the way we need it to. But, I am also a person who is keen to the relationships that have been built and it is one of the best I have with any outside vendor. There is work on improvements and updates constantly and when or if I have an issue or problem that needs to be addressed, I know the team is there to help me.
The fact that my older staff, that do not know how to use a computer, can accurately clock in and out, request time off, and view their schedules, shows how easy Deputy is to use. The app you can download on your phone, it makes these actions, even more, user-friendly.
I have worked within the system for several years and have not found a separate WFM system that is comparable or has as many features as Verint. There are comparable systems for scheduling , forecasting and PTO allotment. however I have not been able to find one with all three
Every time I have contacted support they have answered my question within the hour and solved every problem we have had. They follow up to make sure we are satisfied with our results which has been great when we are busy and get distracted
Verint Support is exceptional. I've never had an issue where the Verint Support analyst was lacking knowledge, didn't take the issue seriously, or not tried working with us to fix our quirky setups. Realizing that each business is different, has different needs, and there isn't a cookie-cutter solution for everyone ... Verint Support always continues to shine for us and help us out when needed.
Training was covered in full day sessions that went very fast with no way of recording the information for later review. This made it hard to capture & retain all the details of information.
Training is more broad on specific use cases. It would be good to have training based on our current situations as we deal with so many unique setups & client needs.
I was told that deputy and Xero would interact and that I could do automated payslips and that’s true but they don’t [separate weekdays] and weekends which attract different pay grades. When trying to troubleshoot there has never been a solution.
The team helping us did a great job training our WFM leaders on how to use the tool from forecasting, to schedule updates to maintenance. They allowed us to be involved in implementation but also did a lot of the initial heavy lifting allowing us to stay focussed on the tasks at hand. It was a great experience and one I would hope occurs again should we ever need to implement a new tool again.
Deputy provides a comprehensive approach to time tracking for employees and scheduling. I like how Deputy includes state labor laws and integrates with our payroll provider to sync hours and paid time off during each pay run. Other software providers with built-in time tracking failed to include these essential features. Furthermore, Deputy archives employee scheduling data and timesheets indefinitely even after the employee leaves, so that you have a record as required by law. We highly recommend Deputy.
Verint Workforce Management is superior in many ways to other programs, though there are aspects of the others that may be a bit better. Overall, Verint has more pros than cons when compared to other scheduling software, it is simply in need of improvement in some areas.
We have gone from using deputy simply to schedule a couple of members of staff on coffee shop shifts, to also scheduling staff in the retail unit part of our business, to now also scheduling team days and having remote working staff start on schedule shifts to track their working hours.
Hundreds of man-hours saved monthly that previously was spent on recording hours work.
Holiday management is very clear and support fair treatment of staff.
The 100% accuracy of timesheets is amazing. Once approved thousands of timesheets just land in our payroll system thanks to the export/import functions.
We have been able to decrease our workforce staff from 5 users to 3 users due to the automation.
We have also been able to decrease our staffing by 3% as our agents' time is scheduled so they are available for the correct calls that come into our contact center.
