We were looking for schedule optimization for our contact center and purchased Aspect. Not sure I would make the same investment today as there are newer, better options available.
Pros
Pretty powerful; especially forecasting tools.
Cons
How cumbersome it is to update all staff, queues, etc. The UI looks like it was built in 1995. It's very expensive for what has to be a (still) powerful, but antique, application.
Response from Alvaria
Thank you for taking the time to review Aspect Workforce Management. It sounds like you are on an older version of the solution. We've had a highly simplified, web-based UI for a few years now. You can see what's new at https://www.aspect.com/solutions/workforce-optimization. Scroll down to the Aspect in Action section. The videos give a good feel for the newer interface. Your Account Manager can get a demo set up for you, or feel free to contact me directly and I can put you in touch with your account team. Thanks, Shelley Hofman | Aspect Software | [email protected]

Pros
I love Aspect for managing employees. I've worked the production desk at a call center, and no software does the job of managing those schedules as well as Aspect.
Cons
It can be clunky and hard to use. The language doesn't always makes sense, and it seems like there is a lot of extra steps for the end user.
