Verint Community (Telligent) is a community and collaboration software platform developed by Telligent Systems and was first released in 2004. Telligent's focus was on offering a platform that can be integrated and extended, but this requires technical expertise. Verint acquired Telligent in 2015.
Gametize is way more friendly with the users, there are a lot of templates and ways to implement characteristics of other games and challenges to your own activities. Is very efficient with customer service and even if it's a little pricey there are softwares for gamification …
[...] - This is a great training and quality organization I participate in regularly. It is a small network of folks that love to share. Networking is key.
Verint Community has an open marketplace that has some really nice widgets and customizations that can come in handy for just about anything that we need. I feel that this platform needs a little bit more polish, especially for the reporting metrics. Also, lot of those widgets …
We selected Verint due to the flexibile UI, the applications included in the licensing fee, ease of launch, price point and access to their support team.
Forum support was the best that we have found for a support community. It was also an easy transition from Jive and provided a level of comfort and ease of use that our community managers were familiar with coming from Jive. Verint Community offerings had everything all the …
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.
Verint Community was a lot more customisable than the other platforms we looked at, it was also one of the few that could be self-hosted (for us, we chose to deploy it in our own Azure environment).
Verint is easier to use, but we are able to grow our community without limitations. Pricing model is more competitive than the larger platform providers and the professional services and Support services are excellent.
Both Higher Logic and Khoros came in with very few benefits compared to Verint with a much higher price point, and potential for additional expenses. With Verint, we added some initial implementation services but were able to plainly see and understand any future financial …
We chose Verint because we are building a technical ecosystem of various technology platforms and needed an online community platform that would allow flexibility and scale as we grow. The open API was a big factor in the decision. We liked the pricing model and as our …
Verint Community scored significantly better in our RFI efforts than all the other platforms considered. Ultimately we also needed a platform that could be deployed on-premise on our own servers and Verint was able to easily deliver.
We also reviewed Higher Logic and Community Cloud. Higher Logic was not able to be customized to meet our needs and felt outdated. Community Cloud required a lot of custom design and development that was very costly.
There are many different enterprise ready community platforms on the market, and each one has its own superpowers. The greatest strength Verint has to offer is the complete control a community leader has over the design of the community to build their vision with few …
As stated in my opening, Verint fulfilled all of our business needs and has the most robust out of the box functionality. Many of the other platforms require heavy customization for design and reporting. Telligent has a full library of drag and drop widgets and a theme studio …
Less appropriate: The Gametize QR code scanner does not work with Google Pixel phones. Some of our members couldn't get the QR code scanner to work. Well suited: allowed us to create multiple games.
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.
Forums - organizing forum questions and identifying answered
Various layouts of blogs, divided by groups to enable different or similar layouts throughout the site. Ability to enable all to view the same or have particular groups of blogs to stand out and have it's own look and feel
ability to customize widgets to the needs of your use case
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.
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.
Gametize is way more friendly with the users, there are a lot of templates and ways to implement characteristics of other games and challenges to your own activities. Is very efficient with customer service and even if it's a little pricey there are softwares for gamification that cost even more.
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.
