Aspect Workforce Management is the Best in Class Workforce Management System. It has a powerful forecasting and Scheduling System. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

Takes a little while to learn how to set up and use. But once you master the product you can do amazing things. Could use an upgrade on some of the forecasting options which would make it much easier to run multiple scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

Do your research. I would only recommend for operations of at least 150 FTE or more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Takes a while to learn how to use it. It doesn't come out of the box ready to use. However Aspect offers top notch professional services who can be there to guide and assist. Using Aspect we have been able to identify gaps in our BPO network performance. That has saved us a lot of money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

I like the initial interface that shows me my day’s schedule and break times. Also, if any meetings or additional segments are included by a manager, those show as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

A main drawback for me is when I need to submit time off or a schedule adjustment, the process for that is not straightforward. If I did not know how to use the system I would have to do some digging to find the location to do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem of scheduling thousands of WFH employees all over the world is simplified with Aspect in addition to giving them access to their schedules is simplified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

Aspect WFM provides so many opportunities for automation and self service. From providing Team Leaders the ability to manage and understand staffing levels to Team Members being able to manage their own attendance. Aspect WFM improves the efficiency of our WFM Team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

It does take a lot of set up in order for you to get product to full capabilities. It take many hours of configuration to get the product to its fullest potential. It sometimes can be a bit confusing, but Aspect is always there to help out in getting a clear understanding of what is going on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Aspect WFM, we are solving for the ability for the Team Members to do a lot more self service. By having an avenue where Team Members are able to report their absence via mobile instead of calling in on a hotline , it has eliminated the need to the team to have to monitor the hotline on a content basis.

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

Aspect WFM offers many possibilities for automation and self-service. From the ability of a team leader to handle as well as understand their employees to the ability of team members to manage their services, Aspect WFM has made our WFM team more efficient. The basic software functionality is the same throughout the process. For instance, by right-clicking on "add", new things are created and the same filters are used for all parts of a system. There are also shortcut keys that make the software easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

An extensive configuration is required to provide the product with all the necessary functions. Many hours of configuration are required for the product to reach its full potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

A perfect tool for working in a call center. No matter what you are now using to manage your calls, it cannot be compared to the functionality offered by Aspect WFM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

At Aspect WFM we focus on the ability of team members to be more self-centered. Allowing team members to report absences on their phones instead of calling the hotline. The team no longer has to control the hotline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

I think forecasting is the function I value most in Aspect. It has saved me much time and is very sensitive to business needs. It is an important platform. To succeed in the market, you have to sell and of course you need many clients to get high profits. To attract many customers, the most important factor is their satisfaction. The Aspect has been helping companies to achieve at lower costs better result. Aspect wins thanks to its many rich features and intelligent forecasting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

I do not like the speed of Aspect servers. It is not a constant problem, but sometimes it can get clogged up, which causes routine operations due to the large number of queries to the server. Reactivity decreases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

In general, I have very good experience with this product. If necessary, help is provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The software has brought me many benefits. We use delivery and tracking services and we use them. I believe we could use the delivery program even more. Tracking also gives us an advantage. It saves us time and allows us to react very quickly to operational needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Aspect Workforce?

The extent of complexity and the capacity to customize the tool as needed. It is beneficial to set the standard of service, working hours, efficiency of the employee, historical records, view of leakage etc. It also has the potential to provide a parent-child relationship between categories of contacts connected to agents who are specialized in managing them. It provides routing sets which can be managed by single qualified or multi-skilled individuals. The integration and management of forecast and schedules is simple. Features such as monitoring multichannel performance, measuring shrinkage and determining staffing tolerances are very useful for wide contact centres. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspect Workforce?

Availability to access details, besides the segment on schedule reports. System monitoring is not consistent with the current business application infrastructure or is up-to-date. Not readily available standard API's. The incorporation of agent schedules and the access to a scheduling program is not normal. UI is old and has trouble with latency since it is a cloud framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspect Workforce:

Adaptable workforce management system for huge and muti-skilled contact centres, easy to use. Be sure that the technology systems of the company can effectively be combined into the monitoring and application criteria framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For the operation of several contact centers and about 10000 employees, we use Aspect Workforce to simplify and automate scheduling, shift contracts and realtime management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
