Meets all my needs and supports all my clients

9 /10

What differentiates LiveAgent from other similar products?

Wide variety of features so that I am confident that the software will grow with my business requirements. I also appreciate the consistent but well aligned support for the product growth. My previous software began adding features and interface changes that caused frequent learning curves. I need software like this - it works the way I expect every time I need it. That keeps my time efficient and use seamless.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I find the canned responses very useful. Most FAQ's from clients are addressed with a few clicks but still maintain personalization.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I've had occasional issues with email notifications dropping. As I do not have full time dedicated helpdesk staff it is important that I am notified each time a request is received.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

As with any client support software, consider the actual needs of your users over the features of LiveAgent. Don't be tempted to implement all the support options this software provides until you have a clear and stable sense of your clients' support needs.

Pros

  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Generous Negotitation
  • Over Delivered

It has everything I need, plus many extras.

What differentiates LiveAgent from other similar products?

Prior to LiveAgent, I'd been using a variety of ways to track customer support. This one piece of software did it all, so now support is contained in a single area with multiple agent access.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Simple to set up (insert Javascript on site - job done). Integrates with my business email, so everything is in one place. Online chat widget as well as contact us interactive buttons. LiveAgent is massively functional, which I love, although some graphics might help (but at the cost of screen real estate I suspect).

What do you dislike most about this product?

Maybe the UI could be a little prettier, but then again it does exactly what it's meant to do, and there's no clutter.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Setup is really simple. Place the supplied javascript file on your site, connect your email, add a chat bot, add your customer support staff as agents and you're off to the races.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
