I think I saw maybe a couple of outages here and there, but for the most part, it was quickly fixed.
Supervisor, Real Time Operations at Gabb
 

Room For Improvement

Salesforce needs better integration, performance, customization, AI features, interface, and multilingual support, with enhanced reporting and dashboards.
Verint Open Platform needs UI updates, better support, pricing transparency, and improved training to overcome its complexity and limitations.
If there is anything I would improve about Salesforce, it would be customer service during the initial implementation, as our experience wasn't as smooth as hoped.
data engineer at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees

Leads Delivery Associate at PeerSpot
Support leaves a bit to be desired, and I think it is an area for improvement that Verint has in the support part.
Customer Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
There is a need for application improvement in terms of latency, as real-time takes time to refresh the screen.
Senior Technical Consultant at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
To improve Verint Open Platform, I would recommend adding a section that creates easier options for the rostering part, such as work patterns and work events including training, breaks, lunches, and meetings.

Setup Cost

Salesforce is costly, especially for smaller businesses, but provides extensive features, influencing its perceived value among users.
many times we have to be aggressive on discounts because of competition.

Valuable Features

Salesforce excels in user-friendliness, customization, automation, and integration, improving sales tracking, customer management, and business efficiency.
Verint Open Platform offers real-time analytics, seamless integration, productivity enhancement, automated management, and efficient reporting, benefiting multi-skill environments.
The Salesforce integration with other tools, such as Celonis, is easy to set up and straightforward, allowing for smooth data extraction.
data engineer at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
Salesforce has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to work collaboratively with other departments in order to keep track of programs so that when a salesperson closes a deal, everything that the delivery manager needs is automatically populated, which then can be linked with our internal campaigns for data management, and within all that, we can keep track of progress linked to the customer sources as well.
Leads Delivery Associate at PeerSpot
The dashboard helps me stay organized because I can see how much more pipeline I need to create to achieve my quota, notifying me if I'm running a bit behind or if I need to increase something.

The companies that implemented the Quality Bot saw operational gains, an increase in NPS, an improvement in quality, and more assertiveness in identifying which agents were not performing at their best.

Roman Ryvlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Subject Matter Expert at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Using a unified cloud workspace has improved managing customer data, pipelines, and projects
Sometimes I would prefer Salesforce to run a little bit more quickly. My tasks are relatively easy, and I am not the person responsible for the company. There are some gaps that people responsible should address with ideas on how to improve. My role is not a leading point; I am a very basic user of Salesforce. My tasks are not complex, and I do not have a big problem with that. Salesforce could improve its speed. I would prefer not to analyze it in detail because it generally works well. I cannot say that I spend a lot of time waiting for a response from Salesforce, which would not be suitable for work. For me, this mostly works. There may be more experienced users with wider tasks who experience more problems. I am not in the details of how this works. We have a separate service department responsible for business automation, and those people know the details of how to estimate complexity, comfort level, and expense. I am just aware that Salesforce is running some integrations for us. All integrations are very important, but I am not in the details of this. If there are limitations, problems, or requirements with regard to integrations, I am not aware of them. With regard to setup, I feel informed because I am not setting this up. What can I complain about? It is pain-free. If you want, you can mention that sometimes my business would be great if Salesforce runs a little bit quicker in a soft manner. I do not have a strong component with regard to speed. Cloud-based software runs on different resources. The GUI might sometimes be a little bit slow. Salesforce is good for me. I am clicking on a link and catching it. There is nothing to install, and it is running. I think Salesforce is perfectly scalable because it runs very big datasets for many years and serves thousands of customers. I think it is perfectly scalable from my point of view as a customer. I think approximately 1,000 to 3,000 users are working with Salesforce in my company at the moment. Salesforce is a huge universe, and I cannot tell what should be improved because it has so many capabilities. Probably I am not aware of the majority of those capabilities. This is rather static for big systems, as customers are not aware of the majority of such big system features. I cannot say that I experience some lack of specific functionality. Usually, everything is in place, but I need to have the right permissions. So I cannot answer the question, as I am fine currently. Sometimes I feel the reporting could be more sophisticated and even AI-enabled. For today, the reporting is a good one but a classical one, and I need to build a report. I need to mention the data I want to run on, the filters to apply, and the commands to choose. Sometimes I have much more complex tasks. Generally speaking, I collect the data and know that the data is in the system. If one day they introduce an elaborated AI capability for me to tell Salesforce that I need to get this kind of data and then perform this kind of comparisons and checks to get this kind of result in that form, my ability would be very good.

Comprehensive contact center insights have transformed quality, staffing, and compliance management
Although Verint Open Platform is a powerful solution, there are areas where improvement would make a significant difference. Implementation complexity can be an issue. Verint Open Platform has a steep learning curve and implementations can be lengthy and resource-intensive. Organizations without dedicated Verint Open Platform expertise often struggle during initial deployment. Simplifying the implementation process and improving out-of-the-box configuration would lower the barrier to entry for mid-sized organizations. Regarding user interface, while functionality is strong, Verint Open Platform UI in some modules can feel dated and less intuitive compared to newer cloud-native competitors. A more modern, streamlined interface would improve adoption rates among end-users and supervisors. Cloud migrations pose a challenge. Although Verint Open Platform has been moving toward cloud-based delivery, some legacy on-premise customers face issues transitioning to Verint Open Platform cloud version without significant re-implementation effort. A smoother migration path would be beneficial. There could be improvements for reporting customization. Although Verint Open Platform reporting suite is comprehensive, building highly customized reports can require technical expertise or a professional service engagement. More self-service reporting flexibility would empower administrators and business analysts. Verint Open Platform licensing and pricing transparency could be clearer. Verint Open Platform licensing model can be complex and costly, particularly for smaller contact centers. A clearer and more flexible pricing tier would make the platform more accessible to a broader range of organizations. I had customers with 200 seats or 500 seats, and many of them moved to either Amazon, Google CCA, CC AI environments, or even 59 environments because Verint Open Platform is very expensive and feels dedicated for super large enterprises with 1,000 or more seats.
