    Mattersight Predictive Behavioral Routing (PBR) would be very well suited for larger call/contact center environments. The overall benefit grows when there are many agents that handle similar call types. Additionally, the PBR database continues to grow. However, depending on the organization, getting the most of the benefits from the system requires the database to have phone numbers that are likely to call in to the center. Therefore, it would be beneficial for them to collect the calls that are being received so the phone numbers of future calls are in the database.

    • ISG could use more in depth reporting that is available on demand.

    • 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.

    Whilst Verint Workforce Management is doing much of the work we were hoping it would do, there are some limitations that cause hesitancy when deciding if it is the tool for the future. No further exploration has taken place to seek alternatives to date. It is good for the Contact element of our business but not for the rest of the business, meaning we have to use two planning tools currently.

    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

    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.

    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.

    The sales team was knowledgeable; easy to work with; their list of clients was impressive, and the cost was right. The free trial was essential to us testing the product.

    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.

    • Staffing optimization - With the Verint tool, we have been able to optimize our workforce, reduce our staff and centralize our processes.
    • Employee Engagement - Our employees always know where their performance stands so they can take ownership in their performance.
    • We have implemented WFM in several areas of the company and have been able to improve those departments which have never had a tool to help in back office operations.
