Great customer service and simple ticketing software

If you are thinking about using LiveAgent, one piece of advise I can give you is to spend some time figuring out how to use the tools that it provides. For some of them, it isn't exactly obvious how to do it, but if you put in the effort to figure it out, you'll find that the service is more than worth it.

PROS

I really like the platform, since it is really simple to operate and I can thus practice my customer support agents on it. The platform has a wide variety of appealing features, some of which are detailed in the following list: The ability to share a mailbox, improved lead capture and engagement, heightened efficiency, outstanding value for the money, and a great deal of additional benefits are also included.

CONS

Only the most expensive tier, which often comes with numerous features and options that you might not want, offers a link to social media; however, if you wish to add any of these features à la carte, doing so will be expensive on its own.

Reasons for switching to LiveAgent

It has allowed us to segment our clients and better serve those who require assistance, and it has facilitated the creation of individualized support forms, which has facilitated the tracking and resolution of problems. Additionally, as a result of our increased productivity, we have been able to save both time and money. We are relieved that LiveAgent employs a new spam filter since it means that we will finally get emails from all of our customers.

Vendor Response

Hello Shayla! Thank you very much for giving us 5-stars :) We are always glad to see that LiveAgent is helping our customers save time, increase productivity and manage their customer communications better. For any inquiry regarding functions or integrations that might further improve your experience, feel free to reach out to our 24/7 support. - LiveAgent Team

Mediocre lifecycle management

It has been from more to less. In the last 3 years has barely evolved (if not regressed), not being anymore a market leader. If I still haven't changed is due to all integration I have already done with the app.

PROS

It's a really useful omnichannel tool, which requires mid-size effort to configure and obtain an inmediate profit.

CONS

Development and support are on their own. They add/ change / delete functionalities without further notice. It's quite frustrating when a given morning your agents tell you that something you have been using for years is not working and when you reach support team responds saying that this feature never existed, as you are idiots. This issue could be easily solved if product team would submit a regular/weekly email with the content of the product roadmap, so teams can addapt in advance their operation to deleted/changed/added functionalities.

Reason for choosing LiveAgent

price affordable and worthy features

Vendor Response

Hello Alberto, thank you very much for your honest review. We are happy to see that you find LiveAgent a useful omnichannel tool but at the same time, we are also very sad to hear about your negative experience. We are gathering the suggestions and features requested from our customers plus we have some internal initiatives to keep the growth of our solution. Recently we have been slowed down by a code refactoring that cannot be seen by users as an immediate improvement, but it's very important in a long term. All the changes can be found here in our changelog -> https://dev.ladesk.com/ and also in our blog post here -> https://www.liveagent.com/blog/news/ which is highlighting the most significant changes. Anyways, I will pass your feedback about the potential improvement of sharing the details about upcoming changes to our manager. I am again very sorry if there has been any change that caused you any inconvenience.

Top customer care software

PROS

This software makes customer care activities much easier to handle. Since it connects many different platforms, it makes us more effective because we are able to respond to customer queries very quickly. Overall it completely changed the experience of work in customer service department into better (before the implementation it was quite chaotic and stressful) and I believe also customers feel nicer experience from customer support.

CONS

The only cons I find is occasional lagging when opening new chats. One more thing is that you are not able to set your own priorities of notifications.

Vendor Response

Hello Sabina! Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience with LiveAgent! It warms our hearts to know that we've made a significant impact on your customer service department. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the occasional lag when opening new chats.

LiveAgent is a great help to our support

We can use this to develop an exciting new approach to interacting with our audience. Insightful tracking of site visitors allows you to pick the brains of your customers and potential buyers.

PROS

LiveAgent provides a full set of features to facilitate live chat functions on your site. I really like that you can track a user's position and send them a chat invitation automatically while they're on your site.

CONS

The only real drawback I've found is that you have to log in somewhat often to keep your account from going dormant. Not having to worry about losing access to my account because I forgot to set a login reminder is a huge relief.

Reasons for switching to LiveAgent

To address the issue of customer service, we implemented a real-time chat facility on our website. Our ability to assist and serve our clientele has been greatly enhanced as a result of this. Additionally, it has helped us provide better service to our customers by enhancing our interaction with them.

Great Features & Great Speed

LiveAgent is helping us convert initial chat enquiries visiting our website into qualified sales leads. We provide a niche product to the very top of our market so being able to qualify enquiries at this initial stage is important to us. The other key outcome is LiveAgent has no impact on our site loading speed. We identified ZenDesk, our previous chat solution, was impacting out site loading speed - and therefore potentially impacting our SEO strategy. From a free trial, we found LiveAgent has zero impact on our site loading speed - we now have a better chat solution AND a faster loading webiste.

PROS

We use LiveAgent to manage chat conversations on our website with the aim of converting initial enquiries into qualified sales leads. There is afar great functionality than our previous chat software solution and is far more customisable, with options to brand and personalise it to our business. The other key feature for us is that it is the number one ranked chat widget for website loading speed, an important part of our SEO strategy.

CONS

There is so much more functionality and ability to personalise LiveAgent than our previous chat software (ZenDesk) so set up took a little longer - but the ultimate outcome has been far superior.

Reason for choosing LiveAgent

It's overall functionality and, critically, its lack of impact on our site loading speed.

Great all in one solution.

Overall, we have one product for web, email, chat, and phone support.

PROS

It was easy to get started and provides an all in one solution for helpdesk and support. The fact that it can connect to our website and provide chat as well as a knowledge base was great... but adding the capability of Phone Support through VOIP connections gives it an edge over almost everything out there. It's very customizable and we haven't found any issues with making it do what we need it to do. The support folk are good and answered all questions we had, but frankly we didn't really need them too much when we got started. They have continued to fix bugs and add features, so it's an active and live product that keeps getting better.

CONS

The UI could be a lot better. It's not bad, but it's not super great either. It takes a while to learn how to use the interface as some aspects aren't obvious. Once you know them, it's not bad, but it should be more obvious how to use it.

Reasons for switching to LiveAgent

We found the package of features more substantial and the price was excellent.

Vendor Response

Hi Christopher, thank you for your honest feedback! I am very glad to hear that you have managed to set everything up according to your needs as LiveAgent was developed in a way that each customer can custom the whole automation part and other features to their needs as we understand that business can be different from one to another :) Feel free to shoot us an email at support@liveagent.com with suggestions on improving the UI or any other suggestions you might have!

Excellent Customer Service & Support and a Tried and Tested System

I'm really impressed with the capability and options available in live agent, without having to pay an arm and a leg. They have always been very prompt in answering questions, and helping me figure out how to do what I want with the software to create a great customer service experience for my clients.

PROS

I really love the quick, responsive and helpful customer service given by LiveAgent. They have always gone above and beyond in answering questions, without leaving you waiting hours or days trying to DIY it yourself. The system itself is thorough and has everything most small businesses need to offer Help Desk Services for their clients.

CONS

I found the software is a bit dated, and required some round-about measures to do what I want, however it's very stable, and fulfills my needs.

Reason for choosing LiveAgent
