Sprinklr Service vs. Verint Knowledge Management

Sprinklr Service has always been well-suited for all of the work we do. As it's all social media content, and most require responses or escalations, Sprinklr Service covers all of that. The only time I think we wouldn't need it is if we were working with a much smaller client who didn't need us to have eyes on so many platforms at once.

Verint Knowledge Management is a great option to consider when an organization is trying to streamline the accessibility of information or knowledge bases available to their employees. Call center agents will love to have all information that is relevant to their phone call easily available to meet the needs of their clients on the other end of the line.

• Transparency—Sprinklr Modern Care allows us to engage with our customers openly and honestly. Even frustrated or angry customer posts offer an avenue for us to display our business integrity and turn negative experiences into positive ones.
• Moderation—Being able to moderate and organize our community so easily by merging topics into one canonical thread or archiving out of date threads helps to keep our search results relevant and improves the chances that our visitors find the help they need easily.
• Company Visibility—The ability to easily alert any company employee of topics that might be interesting to them helps to improve the overall visibility of our customers. It also makes it easier to spot trends and encourage quick action if many people comment on one topic with the same problem.

• The tools to submit and manage user feedback are very effective - they help us respond quickly and interconnect the feedback to the applicable content.
• The end user experience is clean and feels familiar, making it optimal to support a group of people who generally have never experienced a KM application before.
• Our audience responds well to our ability to insert images, GIFs, videos, PDFs, and more into our content.

• I find it difficult to dive into analytics for each social post. The reporting tool gives me an overview of the channels but I would love to look at a breakdown of each post performance.
• You currently can't add closed caption subtitles to videos uploaded through Sprinklr so this results in having to revert to the native platform.
• I would love to be able to set up a newsfeed that includes posts from a number of our partner accounts, so I can keep up to date with what they're posting.

• The authoring side could be improved with additional options for fonts and easier formatting for table content. I have issues with trying to add colour to one portion of a table and not the other, so I have to resort to creating in Word first and then copying over to Verint. There is also no option to create steps in one row and the next step in the next row. I end up just adding 1., 2., etc. manually.
• Many users would like to be able to organize their bookmarks into folders and the system doesn't allow this. Many have taken to creating bookmark folders in Microsoft Edge instead.
• There were a few bugs that went on for a few months that made the initial launch of the KMS more difficult for the users and on the authoring side. The issues were with how the search results came up and what displayed for related content. It wasn't the best first impression for our agents using the system while on calls and made it more difficult. The issues were fixed after a few months of use.

The initial use of the product started out as a 90 day test to see if we could engage customers at a higher level using Sprinklr Modern Care. After a year the use of Sprinklr Modern Caren has now been extended to multiple products.

Knowledge is an exceptional tool that has solved a gap to reduce the training time of new associates and promote knowledge retention

It's a very easy program to learn and use. I have trained over 50 people on it over the years, and not once has anyone had trouble using it. It's very user-friendly and covers all the bases that social media moderation requires.

Verint KM has many features that - when used the 'right way' can expedite search, content usage, and maintenance. Unfortunately, not all end users want to be bothered with 'the right way' and are looking for simplistic and predictive options (which any KM solution would be hard-pressed to deliver).

No issues with system availability. They manage updates in off-peak hours and I usually don't notice the changes until I log into the system the next day.

Performance is great and is not negatively effecting our processes. We have to make sure it doesn't effect out load times. Not currently seeing any issues with widgets affecting page load times.

I know the Sprinklr conference calls have been helpful, but sometimes submitting a ticket can be a little daunting. In the past, we've included information in screenshots that are then asked for by a member of the support staff. The turnaround time has been between 3 days, which isn't horrible.

The support and development teams for Knowledge are exceptional. They are attentive and truly care about the experience of their customers and their goals

Training was efficient and fun. It was all webinars and YouTube videos. These were mostly lunch time sessions. 10

Basic setup took me less than 30 minutes. This includes initial configuration, putting in the initial content, and getting the look-and-feel customized. The domain routing took the normal lag time any other website or blogging service. The really important thing was to get the user accounts setup and begin seeding the system with content before a public launch.

This was the simplest integration of software I've ever experienced.

We previously used Sparkcentral for our social media care. While we were very happy with the team there, the product had not evolved as much as Sprinklr and we found it to be lacking in its ability to handle different languages, route certain types of conversations with higher priority or to certain teams / agents. It also did not have as robust a reporting structure as Sprinklr does

All of these tools were very useful and practical. For our decision, it came down to understanding our core audience - we determined our average associate was largely unfamiliar with call center and office work in their prior work experience, and as such they would not have previously worked in a KM application before. To help adoption, we sought the solution with the simplest and most familiar interface, and based on internal focus group feedback, that was Verint KM Pro.

• Increased employee efficiency: Having a clear, one-stop "shop" where users can leave feedback, ask questions, and find bug fixes or workarounds has saved me (and other community managers at my company) loads of time that was once spent responding to numerous emails on an individual basis.
• Better customer service: Since everyone in the company is alerted of what's being written on our forum, it's easy to spot a high-priority issue, delegate to the person in charge, resolve it, and respond as soon as possible.

• Content is easier to keep up to date and publish on an urgent basis.
• Some users love the system, while others still find it difficult to find the information they need and miss the former guides we used. I think this is a result of the system issues that persisted for a few months after launch and will hopefully improve with time.
• Users love being able to submit feedback and it makes it easier for errors, missing information and out of date information to be caught and fixed.
