Room For Improvement

IFS Cloud users find documentation unclear, tools inflexible, integration challenging, support lacking, and pricing high, hindering performance and usability.

They are working on IFS AI, but we have not explored much into that yet, and if they want to keep their competitive edge, that is an area they need to concentrate on.

Cloud Operations Engineer
Integrated planning has improved production scheduling and now reduces downtime and costs
The biggest friction point I have run into with IFS Cloud Platform is user adoption, which has been the biggest challenge, as different users in the organization need to get accustomed to the new processes after years of using spreadsheets and legacy systems, requiring training and a mindset shift, along with challenging data migration and process standardization. My advice to someone considering IFS Cloud Platform with a similar workflow is to spend sufficient time understanding and standardizing their business processes before implementing it, as the technology is very powerful, but the real value comes when processes, data, and teams are all aligned. I would rate my overall experience with IFS Cloud Platform as a 9 out of 10.

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.
