What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

In a traditional WFM environment, Aspect WFM combines the three main pillars, forecasting, scheduling and real time management into one package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

It lacks intercommunication features, where WFM personnel could have options to counteroffer options for failed time off requests. Additionally, the WFO logon screen needs to be brought back displaying a username and password box in the web page instead of a pop up box, in order to provide better error messaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Scheduling and staffing are the prime problems being solved. Once we tied the plan to the day to day life of the agent, integrating time off solutions, scheduling visibility and planning, Aspect provides a robust solution to managing the call center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

I'd have to say the official and trial segment worksheets. I get so much functionality out of both of those tools. The filtering ability is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

I wish Aspect was able to deal with time changes better for organizations operating in multiple states. I work out of Arizona, but the company is based in Philadelphia, and it's quite a cumbersome process to ensure schedules will behave as expected when it comes time to shift for DST. Reporting could also be better. It's difficult to find metrics that should be readily available, such as base scheduled, or shrinkage stats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

It's always best to figure out the needs of your own organization, but in my opinion, while the price point is a bit higher than other workforce software programs out there, you definitely get your money's worth. Aspect provides the whole package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Scheduling, forecasting, and reporting. Efficiencies of scale. For example, the sequential shift bid tool is very easy to work with and saves a lot of time, especially when working with multiple lines of business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shelley Hofman of Aspect Workforce

Joshua,

Thank you for taking the time to review Aspect Workforce Management and for the 4.5-star rating! We love hearing that interface is intuitive, that the "filtering ability is fantastic," and that you are saving time with shift bidding. Customer satisfaction is important to us, so we are glad that the tool is bringing value and efficiencies to your contact center. We also appreciate your feedback on the time zone issue. Your input will be forwarded to our product teams so that we can continually improve the solution. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

Aspect WFM is an industry leading WFM Tool that provides a ton of functionality and granularity around scheduling workforce, forecasting, and planning. It's super powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

WFM is anything but user friendly. Training new people to it is extremely time consuming, doing simple things can take an unnecessary amount of time, flexibility is not a strong point (doing things differently from what Aspect advises, even if it doesn't fit your business, is a huge pain), and managing users is done in multiple different parts with a level of complexity that borders on the absurd. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

Carefully review your needs to ensure you are not spending additional manual effort to incorporate Aspect into your workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Schedule generation is second to none. It's extremely powerful when using optimization for breaks/lunches. WFM is very good at tackling multiple staffgroups with with large agent numbers across multiple sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shelley Hofman of Aspect Workforce

Thank you for taking the time to review Aspect Workforce Management. We are so pleased to hear that it's a powerful solution for you that helps streamline scheduling across multiple staff groups with large agent numbers in multiple sites.
