Teams should seriously consider Livechat.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates HelpDesk from other similar products?

Livechats capabilities goes beyond what one expects to get from a standard helpdesk software and this I think is the standout point of Livechat for me. With Livechat, we are reaching our customers and sales prospects everywhere, beyond our website. Basically, Livechat has made it possible to reach customers on the apps they frequent the most ; WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and even via SMS.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Livechat provides insightful reports and analytics, that gives me a general overview of our engagement with customers and sales prospects. Both on our website and on every other social media platform, through which we have engaged customers.

What do you dislike most about this product?

For me, I absolutely love everything Livechat has offered my team.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

As far as customer engagement goes, Livechat is a software to seriously consider for teams.

Helps Keep Customer Tickets Under Control

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates HelpDesk from other similar products?

HelpDesk stands out because it keeps everything simple and easy to manage. Tickets, customer history, and team notes are all in one place, so there’s no juggling between apps. I also like how it lets you automate routine tasks and prioritize tickets, which saves time. For me, the combination of simplicity, organization, and useful automation sets it apart from other tools.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect is how easy it is to keep track of everything in one place. I can see all tickets, customer details, and team updates without switching between tools. It makes managing support much smoother and helps me respond faster.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most is that sometimes the interface can feel a little cluttered when there are lots of tickets coming in at once. For example, if three or four urgent tickets arrive at the same time, it’s easy to miss one or get distracted while trying to sort priorities. It works well overall, but it can be stressful during busy periods.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I’d recommend starting with the basics first like managing tickets and setting up priorities before exploring the advanced features. Take some time to organize your workflows and use automation where it makes sense. Once you get used to it, HelpDesk can really save time and make customer support much smoother.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable
  • Effective Service

It's my opinion, I love Livechat.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates HelpDesk from other similar products?

Livechat capabilities makes it more than a helpdesk software. For my company, we have used it as an engagement hub between our sales team ( customer service ) and the customer. As a result of the huge capabilities it offers, it is also used partly by the marketing and data analytics team within my company. Overall, the vast level of use-cases that Livechat affords my company, is what I believe sets it apart from similar products.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The reports and analytics strength of Livechat has appealed the most to me. From data summaries of all chat sessions between agents and customers, to chat reports that shows total number of chats handled by customer teams daily, number of missed chats , the satisfaction rate of customers after a missed chat and so on. All of the above helps my company measure the quality of customer service efforts we provide to customers of our product and services.

What do you dislike most about this product?

At this moment in time, I cannot pinpoint anything that I dislike at all about Livechat. I have been lucky enough to use it in two companies ( my former and current ) and the experience plus feedback has always been positive.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

In my opinion, I think Livechat shouldn't be used just as a standalone software. It should be used alongside other tools like Whatsapp, Twilio etc to get the full benefit it brings.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Unique Features
