What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

I like how easy it is to capture the data and record everything our customer agents are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

I thought it was initially very difficult to set up the system...I also thought that your training wasn't that good. The training was very long and I felt like in that amount of time it wasn't necessary and the instructor seemed very confused himself sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

in my opinion it would be easier for Aspect Workforce Management and any company using it if Aspect does all the development from start to finish. It saves a lot of time and effort from the IT/development side and in case of any support it is always better for Aspect to do the Support then someone from IT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspect Workforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

Aspect Workforce Management is amazing at what it does and how we're able to look at those customer service agents that provide the best customer experience to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

The Microsoft Office Calendar interface allows associates to see any changes made to their schedule, to include PTO approval, in near real-time. In fairness, this is a function that is in almost every other Workforce Management tool on the market today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

This is far and away the worst forecasting tool I have seen on the market. Unless your call center takes a static amount of calls, this tool is not for you. The lift to get to a forecast is absurd and the only thing they forecast based on is previous year volumes rather than utilizing your client base population. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

Compare this to other tools such as IEX TotalView and Genesys WFM before buying. You will find other solutions that are better at working with your business and cheaper on your finances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspect Workforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

PTO selection by the associates and scheduling of items by WFM are the only benefits to this tool. The forecasting is only accurate after jumping through absurd hoops and is inaccurate unless the call volumes are static. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

I appreciate the ease in running different reports, as well as the ease in which Aspect talks to Avaya and Kronos. I also really like Empower! Most staff using it are very happy with being able to use a URL to view their schedule. The 'Help' index is really useful, too. I participate in a lot of the ASUGA webinars and they are wonderful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

I would like to see more ease in building some of the rules, without having to have a consultant come in. I would like to be able to use more set up specific to our department without the risk of changing another department's settings. Perhaps that user error, but it often seems complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

Really take advantage of the Aspect consultants who come to help train and set up. Ask a lot of questions, consider future scenarios, and keep their email address handy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspect Workforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're forecasting more which is leading to better and easier staff, and moving away from manual schedules. Getting users to view their schedules online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

The only thing I like about this system is being able to adjust my schedule independently, though the method of doing so is slow/archaic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

The system isn't set up to be user friendly at all. It's slow and tedious, as though it were launched in the 90's. The interface doesn't seem to take individual user needs into account at all. One can't view their schedule in a weekly or monthly increment without scrolling through individual days. Any click to open more information takes 20+ seconds to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

I'd look for anything else Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspect Workforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

The goal with switching to Aspect was to reduce the amount of work the scheduling team was doing to change schedules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

Aspect WFM does a great job with flexibility. It has a large number of ways to modify and run sample scenarios to allow you to answer a lot of different questions. The automatic approval process for segments is also very well done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

Aspect seems to fail when things get overly complex. Trying to model groups that are not 1:1, with complex multiskills, often results in strange results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

Ensure your phone system is compatible! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspect Workforce solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Aspect for all our forecasting and scheduling. The ability to run different schedule sets for individual weeks is often useful, but can require some creative settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
