Verint Workforce Management vs. Workday Workforce Management

For workforce management, more so in the customer care department, Verint Workforce Management is the best as it makes matching resources with needs easy. It enhances scheduling, and thanks to the smooth match, handling customer issues becomes easy, and this enhances customer experience.

Workday is well suited as am employee because it allows me to easily access pay and goal-setting information at a large org. It also made the process of getting hired and initially onboarded simple. I imagine it could be less helpful at a smaller organization where people have more direct access to folks in payroll

• Verint WFM does adherence very well. We were able to customize with our internal company goals which improved our productivity,
• Strategic planner (forecasting). Although there are challenges at times given my company's unique set up, strategic planner has allowed us to paint a more accurate picture of the future.
• Verint also processes PTO requests very smoothly and in a way that makes sense.

• It is very technical. It is not something that you can just jump into. It took me a while to train my other contact center managers on how to use it and I just actually recently got an employee who was helping me manage the workforce management variance system and it just takes a lot of time and patience in order to learn the full gamut of how shifts go together. And this goes into this and you have to do one piece right or nothing else works in the end and the activities. It is just a lot when you come from not doing anything close to that.

• The tasks function is somewhat clunky, and its hard to see who the task is sent to next in order to follow up with them.
• In-process referrals don't always show up in the "My Referrals" tab
• Filters on tasks don't always work.

It still functions the way we need it to. But, I am also a person who is keen to the relationships that have been built and it is one of the best I have with any outside vendor. There is work on improvements and updates constantly and when or if I have an issue or problem that needs to be addressed, I know the team is there to help me.

I have worked within the system for several years and have not found a separate WFM system that is comparable or has as many features as Verint. There are comparable systems for scheduling , forecasting and PTO allotment. however I have not been able to find one with all three

Workday Payroll and Workforce Management hasn't given me any issues. I love that you can customize your profile with icons, the color scheme, and etc. It makes it feel more personable. In addition, you can customize which icons that you use frequently to complete tasks. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a platform that has high usability and versatility.

Verint Support is exceptional. I've never had an issue where the Verint Support analyst was lacking knowledge, didn't take the issue seriously, or not tried working with us to fix our quirky setups. Realizing that each business is different, has different needs, and there isn't a cookie-cutter solution for everyone ... Verint Support always continues to shine for us and help us out when needed.

Training was covered in full day sessions that went very fast with no way of recording the information for later review. This made it hard to capture & retain all the details of information.

Training is more broad on specific use cases. It would be good to have training based on our current situations as we deal with so many unique setups & client needs.

The team helping us did a great job training our WFM leaders on how to use the tool from forecasting, to schedule updates to maintenance. They allowed us to be involved in implementation but also did a lot of the initial heavy lifting allowing us to stay focussed on the tasks at hand. It was a great experience and one I would hope occurs again should we ever need to implement a new tool again.

Verint Workforce Management is superior in many ways to other programs, though there are aspects of the others that may be a bit better. Overall, Verint has more pros than cons when compared to other scheduling software, it is simply in need of improvement in some areas.

Workday Payroll and Workforce Management in my opinion does as great job of letting staff know beforehand what they are going to get paid on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. I found that Gusto does not provide that insight. It would be nice though to have a feature in those platforms where you could do a "what if" feature to determine how much you could make if you were single, married, or made a higher salary or lower. This is a feature that I have used in webBASIS, and it was extremely helpful.
