Doesn't work on Macs, poor support and programming is cumbersome
Overall Satisfaction with Vantage Point
We started using Vantage Point because we wanted to optimize our contact center in a simple way. We used it only in contact centers, and not other departments. We wanted to use a cheaper WFM solution rather than going for a more premium option since our contact center is small. We had several goals that included optimizing staffing and understanding when we were going to have poor SLAs. It didn't accomplish these goals very well because of a few specific limitations.
Pros
- Cheap - Vantage point is a very economic solution.
- Strong WFM models - Modified Erlang is great.
Cons
- Customer support/success - We didn't get any support from them after implementation.
- Not Mac compatible - They said they had a way you could VPN in, but it didn't work.
- The programming required is complex. It's not clear if this is meant as a DIY or if you should send things in to be programmed. We were told to send things in, but wouldn't hear back for extended periods of time.
- Not much impact.
- Learned we needed to dedicate a full FTE to just program/manage Vantage Point.
- We eventually built our own scheduling tool since it was not intuitive.
We picked Vantage Point based on functionality and price. We wanted something that was purely wfm and not anything else. Vantage Point has an a la carte solution and is very economical. In some ways, the failure of Vantage Point for our application wasn't Vantage Point's fault. We didn't dedicate as many resources as needed. That said, we didn't feel we got any support from their team
