Ecomail vs. Verint Community

If you are looking for a really simple to use and at the same time highly effective email marketing platform with email automation capabilities this is a really well-rounded choice if combined with other solutions. Pricing is really reasonable too.

If you need a community platform that's very versatile and has a relatively low entry-cost to get started, Verint is a good pick. If you need a solution that is guaranteed to work seamlessly and have no hiccups or issues overall, it is not well suited. Although it is a SAAS solution, some of the aspects of the platform do not make it seem so.

• Verint Community can work on improving the language part of their business which would help in interacting with customers in non English countries more easily
• User interface is very dated, it required very high customizations from our side in order to be using it as functional. Hoping for UI part to be more focused on their upcoming updates.
• Features such as chatting and group chatting could be introduced in a similar way to other big social media companies
• They could build a mobile application as well other than the website for much better collaboration and ease of use.

I am not part of this decision making process, but I did provide positive feedback to the decision making board.

If you are an experienced online community professional, Verint offers the flexibility you need. You do need to have a lot of expertise if you want to build a solid user experience because there isn't a template out-of-the-box that is just ready to go for various use cases. It will take awhile to fully understand the capabilities of Verint Community.

While the support portal (cases) is helpful, I've been even more impressed by their own support community. I always get quick, thoughtful, and interesting answers to my questions from support personnel, in-house developers, other users, and even the VP/GM himself! They have a really wonderful thing going there.

all customizations should be under warranty so that you get the right level of support from the 3rd party

SALESmanago overpromises and underdelivers. Bloomreach is a great platform, but not suitable for smaller clients because of the pricing. Ecomail delivers everything that they promise you and they do it really well. In the field of marketing automation or email platforms, it is widespread that the solutions promise way too much and are not able to deliver (reliability, ease of use, functionality etc.)

I believe Verint Community stacks up very against previous solutions I have worked with. For an externally facing community, I think Jive-X was the best in class for many years, and Verint matches up very well from a features and configuration perspective. The other key point for me, is that Verint Community is also similar to Jive in that it has an extremely strong customer community of experienced community professionals. Verint does a great job of engaging with us about future plans, roadmaps, events, etc. I think this is a very under-rated benefit of a community platform, and Verint's is exceptional.

• At times, troubleshooting in the software tickets takes too long. However, we have worked with that team to share our specific examples and have seen some improvement in this area, yet there is not always good response with documentation to reference later should an issue arise again. The ticket team could do better to point us to resources that will help.
