Verint Speech and Text Analytics vs. Zoom Revenue Accelerator

Well suited- where you wish to analyse the customer sentiments, find out what they are looking for and offering them a good deal to get market growth of business not well suited- for those small scale organisations where the approach is more on digital marketing and advertising. As the cost is slightly high, startups are not suitable to use this product

Training on key features is difficult, so adoption of the platform is not where we would like it to be after 6 months of being deployed. Our team works primarily within Salesforce, so it would be helpful to have additional focus on adding ZRA components to the Salesforce managed package. Would love to see on overall customer summary for example. Rather than having to go to each conversation to get details of the customer journey. The price point for ZRA is quite high compared to meetings & phone so I would like to see continuous growth/new features being released to justify the spend. With ZRA, the sales leaders can share tactics and use cases on how they utilize ZRA to manage their individual teams. The analytics easily shows team members who are exceeding or who may need additional support based on (overall customer sentiment & engagement).

• One of the things that I find extremely beneficial about Verint Speech Analytics is the transcription. Sometimes you have an hour call, an hour and a half call, and you don't have time to listen to an hour and a half call. The beauty is that we can find the transcription and then we can look in it. It specifies where if you look in the interaction details in the back of the call, you can actually see the transcription. You can see it'll identify where in the call, what line at what timestamp did that call hit your category and with what string, with what term did it hit. And that is extremely beneficial. And we're trying to go through and find those little points of, sometimes they're points of abrasion, sometimes there are things that are going really well. I love that we have a transcription. I love that we can also see the screens that is vital because a lot of times, and again, not that we're trying to find something bad, but the reality is in any industry, there's in any call center environment, should I say, there's call avoidance. There's always going to be some agents, it's just in any call center, in any industry, it happens.
• Or sometimes our agents are just struggling. And if you see in real life, for example, a very high silence time, when we notice a trend, we'll start going into those calls and actually looking at those screens and seeing, is silence time call avoidance or could it be the agents are having difficulty utilizing the resources? Are the resources not clear? Is that what the delay is? Are they having trouble trying to find the answer? And a lot of times we found that too. We found they're searching and clicking and searching and clicking and it's because they just didn't know where to go. So that is a coaching opportunity. And sometimes it's a coaching opportunity, not so much in a positive way because they're purchasing things from Amazon. But I think, like I said, that's inherent in any call center environment. I do find the screens, the transcription, the trend analysis that's available within speech, there are so many things I could literally sit here and talk to you for quite some time.
• We love it. And I'm even more excited personally now because I learned so much, as I was saying, about being in the cloud and being in that open-source environment where all of these enhancements that Verint has. And they're so often that they enhance their products and their offering now these little bots and AI to help with all of these different aspects, but that's only available if you're in the cloud and the open source. So there's a lot of benefit in being in prem, in net platform, which is where we are. And we were able to provide a lot of meaningful insight and guidance into a lot of different pain points in the company. But I anticipate, and I have full confidence, that we'd be a much more effective team once we're able to move into the cloud. So I'm very hopeful for that. I'm anticipating what else we could discover.

• Zoom IQ's graphics need improvement to be more intuitive.
• Zoom IQ does not allow you to analyze several voices simultaneously. It becomes very complicated to expand the conversations to more students.
• Personalized feedback does not always respond correctly to what has been said. There is room for improvement in audio and voice analysis.

So excited for all the new bot functionality that is to come with Verint Interaction Analytics. AI is the future and Verint is leading the way!

It has certainly been useful, but now it overlaps with other tools we are using so probably we will have to be harder on ROI here

Because between the training and integration of this product, I feel that this has been a seamless integration. The amount of training that is provided is second to none and the tams make sure you are taken care of in every way. I have nothing but great things to say about this product.

Once you're through the setup it couldn't be easier. For our client facing team members it was very much an experience of. Today you're using "App A" and tomorrow log into Zoom and you're all setup. Zoom Revenue Accelerator is effortless for an end user to pick up and start using. But the setup is where you need help to understand. Various things with where recordings are stored, how calls are routed, and even who can access what phone numbers and recordings can be challenging to setup without help. And a number of docs aren't as up to date as they could be, given the Zoom UI can change so rapidly. Once they solve the sprawling admin side of the product, it'll be a 10 out of 10.

There are few unplanned outages within the platform

There is often latency within the Speech Analytics module.

We did not have anything like this before but we did go through a long review and found out no other company had everything we needed. With our security and technology department we did decide that this was the best product for our business. Have all great thing to say and would recommend this to everyone

Zoom fit into our workflow better than the rest. While all the other tools certainly worked well, and could do the job, we felt the most comfortable with Zoom. In particular the ease of use. Specifically, at the time we were assessing the tools Aircall was a product we had used for a number of years, but call quality was not something that came often. And we'd have as many as 35% of calls drop due to connection issues. (Not an issue with Zoom, call quality is >98%). Dialpad was also one we extensively tested and trialed. It felt far better suited to a team larger then us, and one with a broader Support function then our initial use case. The Salesforce offering just felt the most expensive for the least value. While it would work probably the best with our CRM, it was clunky to operate from an end user POV.

The system is relatively reliable with minimal downtime. However, when there is an issue, it is often addressed slowly and causes significant business issues

• Conversation Intelligence Software has had a positive impact on my career in sales. I like how you can see data regarding how your conversations went.
• In general, Zoom calls, where the video is turned on, have helped me increase the number of deals I close.
• With my team, it is easy to share a clip of the video I want my manager to view.
