Bright Pattern Contact Center vs. Verint Digital-First Experience

Bright Pattern has been fantastic in allowing us to automate voice and chat contacts, and we're currently building out scenarios that will allow us to automate even more. It's super simple to collect data from customers, and using some API calls provides the answers they're looking for without a human needing to get involved. There is less functionality currently for emails. Emails can be routed to queues based on keywords, and auto-replies can be sent, but it's pretty basic functionality. We'd love to see some of the enhanced capabilities offered in voice and chat scenarios for email.

• AI platform integration - IBM Watson, Google Dialogflow, for example
• Quality Management - out of the box sentiment anlysis
• Unified agent desktop - ability to see all channels in one pane of glass
• Robust analytic widgets that can also drive wall boards

Incentivized

• Realtime reporting is good but there should be a pop out if supervisor or a manager wants to see his whole team.
• Wallboard needs to have some calculations option. Ofcourse APIs are there but still we recommend
• Wallboard needs to have more options to customise

Es una plataforma confiable, en la que ya tengo bastante tiempo utilizando y conociendola. Entonces me siento confiada en volver a utilizarla dentro de la empresa e igual que al ofrecer a mis clientes internos y externos, además con el roadmap que nos brindan estoy segura que seguirá innovando cada vez

It's pretty simple for agents to pick up quickly, it takes a bit longer for supervisors to get familiar with. QA tools are pretty barebones but functional enough. It can be as simple or complex as you need it to be, if you spend some time configuring the settings or working with Bright Pattern's support team to build out what you need.

It is always on. The only outage to date that I have experienced was with an upstream telco provider a few years ago. The inbound leg telco was hit by a DDOS attack which led to delays in routing calls to the platform. This was not the fault of the Bright Pattern platform but the telco provider. We have had a few minor carrier issues with call quality, or a handful of brief drops, but Bright Pattern is quick to identify these and change carriers when it starts to happen.

All pages load when expected, and reports render either in the web browser or as a download. I never really have issues with accessing the admin or agent desktop sites. It just works.

People are accessible. You are able to talk to the relevant subject matter experts that can address your specific problem. Everyone we deal with comes across as knowledgeable in their field and where they cannot solve specific problem they put you in contact with someone that can. You never feel like you are just a number even though you might be a small client or partner.

In-person and virtual training was great, but Bright Pattern could use some online training videos similar to other platforms. I would welcome online training videos to keep the steady flow of new agents up to date. Admin training is one of the largest areas that need video. The static documentation is great. It is pretty easy to follow and configure your contact center as you progress through each step. The documentation is available online on an easy to use knowledgebase or wiki style site. You do not need a user account to access the help docs, meaning that users at any level can freely access the materials to learn about the platform.

Online training is documentation based only. It is thorough and step by step, but no videos. It would also be helpful to have more information within the help docs on custom reporting. I find that many of the Bright Pattern specific configurations for the Jasper Reporting Server have to be "stumbled" across through existing report templates and they are not clearly listed out somewhere. In person training will not generally go into great depth on report customizations.

As an implementor, I have found the Bright Pattern Contact Center very easy to work with. The platform operates in the manner which I think. Therefore, everything I do seems logical and works exactly as expected. Many solutions are much more difficult to work with and make implementations difficult

Bright Pattern offers many more options for scalability and the pricing is always best. The agent desktop and quick support is supirior in many ways but more importantly for us the price is best all while offering the same features and in some cases even more than its competitors

Very flexible and will scale without any intervention from my team. Scaling at the carrier/telco layer is handled by Bright Pattern, if you use their offered telecom
