What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

Fairly simple and user friendly program, as long as you are making basic changes and updates.

Drag segment options and useful Search functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

-Slow. Running off local PC connected to server half way across the States, creates so much lag and response when doing simple tasks or running reports. I can connect (with limited user connections) to a remote server and run the same reports about 4 times faster than on my local PC.

-Nearly impossible to remove forecast groups unless you can properly follow the insane amount of steps in the correct order for each group.

-Limited on proper data reports that can be pulled from the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

Needs better live views for ACTUAL data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Forecasting for staffing in call centers. If all data can be programmed correctly, there is a very simplified way to pull suggested staffing goals without too much effort. The lead up to said end goal however can be extremely time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

Sometimes we have tools at our disposal, but we might not know the best ways to use it. Aspect gives the support for users to solve doubts and courses to learn how to make the best out of each tool.

Then we are able to learn what we need for each role in the Corporation, finding faster ways to generate schedules and forecasts for planning purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

On some days the traffic is high on the servers, and since Aspect uses a virtual environment to host the tools, we have issues with connection now and then, but only for a short while. On these days, tools run slightly slower than usual, but we are able to work with it without bigger problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

If you use other softwares, compare all the tools you can have on each to see if it is Worth the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Headcount planning for the business. We deal with Technical Support through chat and phone, so we need fast planning to work with demands and hiring if needed. We had benefits with Aspect because it got easier to work with historical data and to compile everything.

The software generate the Schedule set studies withing customizable patterns and even break and lunch schedules, which is great. It makes the best out of staff potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

The AutoRun features which auto update NCO and AHT, application delivers exceptional schedules with varied labor resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

Configuration! Although I hold 30 years in the WFM field, I was new to Aspect WFO. Learning the "terminology" specific to Aspect and the relationship between modules started as a difficult period for me. The support team and the learning curriculum's understood I was fresh and provided the knowledge necessary to get the app up and running, while explaining the processes and linking terminology. All said and done, my worries were not warranted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

Attend the configuration classes to learn how the app functions, it will be critical for taloring WFO to suit your business needs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Currently our organization is deploying the basic inbound scheduling and the agent desktop for viewing. Once this becomes a normal routine for agents, the time off (Calendar) and shift trades will launch. Making the agents responsible for their success has made them understand they do control there time to meet KPI's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shelley Hofman of Aspect Workforce

Keith,

Thank you for taking the time to review Aspect Workforce Management and for the 4.5-star review! We are pleased to hear that you find the scheduling exceptional and that you like the AutoRun features. And thank you for your feedback on the configuration process. This detailed feedback will be forwarded on to our internal teams so we can continue to improve our solutions and processes. And we look forward to hearing how you like the shift trades once they launch. Again, thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We truly appreciate it!

Thank you for taking the time to review Aspect Workforce Management. It sounds like you are reviewing the WFM Mobile app?

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

The ease in pulling needed data and working with it "at a glance" is vital to me as a scheduler. I like being able to quickly confirm shifts/coverage/need within moments. Empowers the user greatly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

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

Assisting with staffing placement and recognizing needs on the fly is the biggest solution we are offering at present. The ease in identifying both needs and surplus availability is a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
