Shiftboard vs. Verint Workforce Management for Back Office

Shiftboard is very well suited for service industries—restaurants, hospitality, etc. In those workplaces, Shiftboard should have enough ability for customization, and its mobile accessibility should be advantageous. For TV and other production environments, particularly those with frequent schedule changes, Shiftboard does not work as well, as it requires too many clicks to change a schedule.

I believe it is well suited for larger companies or companies that are looking to scale larger. It works well for all levels of business, but definitely is great for leaders who seek to better manage their employees and understand the work they are completing or just what they are doing throughout the day

• Shiftboard can be difficult to navigate, and when an agent bookmarks the tool it stays on their schedule for that specific date, often causing confusion. For example, mine is stuck on January 27th, 2017.
• It's difficult to get to your specific schedule.
• The overview of schedules within one week is also very difficult to read.

• Your graphs. Sweet lord they are hideous
• Report formats are a struggle bus I hate riding
• Back office quality tracking

I would say that Verint is very user friendly and is easy to navigate. I have not had any negative experiences with training staff on how to utilize the suite and the feedback I have received has always been positive. I would say that reporting could be easier to navigate and utilize on both the back office and customer side.
