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.
PROSI 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.
CONSOnly 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.

The most effective multi-channel online customer service solution
I use LiveAgent daily to log and resolve customer-reported issues since it allows me to keep track of the essentials while streamlining the process. Making a list of things you need to do and keeping track of whether or not they've been done makes the process far more manageable. It gives me access to a highly feature-rich support chat that allows me to effectively communicate with any client via video, audio, or text. It's great for businesses of all sizes since it's scalable and flexible, with plenty of useful extras that won't break the bank.
PROSI appreciate how simple and adaptable it is to use. It's simple to incorporate into existing domains to provide a unified service to your clientele. Because it is hosted in the cloud, LiveAgent is equally effective as an internal and external help-desk solution. It offers multi-channel support through various channels, and its extensive capabilities, user-friendly design, and reasonable price make it a viable option.
CONSNothing I've found to hate about this platform has helped me do great things and bring many benefits to my employer.
Reasons for switching to LiveAgent
LiveAgent offers a free plan so you can test it out before committing to a paid subscription, and once you do, you'll see that all of its features work together to guarantee that your company will see growth as a direct result of using the platform.

Efficient Customer Support with LiveAgent
I've been able to solve a variety of customer service-related problems with the platform. For example, LiveAgent has allowed me to efficiently manage and organize incoming customer inquiries from a variety of channels, such as email, phone, social media, and chat. This has helped me respond to customer inquiries more quickly and effectively, which has improved customer satisfaction.In addition, LiveAgent's ticketing system has allowed me to easily track and manage customer inquiries, ensuring that no inquiries fall through the cracks and that all customers receive timely and effective support. The platform also offers a variety of useful features, such as customizable chat widgets, canned responses, and real-time visitor monitoring, which have helped me streamline my customer support processes and provide a more personalized and effective support experience.Overall, I've found that using LiveAgent has allowed me to improve my customer support processes, reduce response times, and ultimately improve customer satisfaction.
PROSI would say that what I like most about it is the ability to provide immediate assistance to customers. The chat feature allows us to quickly respond to customer inquiries and resolve issues in real-time, which has resulted in a high level of customer satisfaction.I also appreciate the chat routing feature, which ensures that customer inquiries are directed to the right department or agent. This helps to streamline our support process and ensure that customers receive the assistance they need as quickly as possible.In addition, the chat feature allows us to easily integrate pre-written responses and templates, which helps to save time and ensures consistency in our support messaging. The chat transcripts and analytics also provide valuable insights into our customer interactions, allowing us to continuously improve our support processes and provide an even better customer experience.
CONSI must say that what I least liked about the platform is that I have occasionally experienced connection or stability issues while using it. Although this doesn't happen frequently, it can be frustrating when it does, especially if we're trying to provide real-time support to a customer.I have also found that some of the advanced features can be a bit difficult to understand and configure. Although the platform is generally quite intuitive and easy to use, it can take time and effort to learn how to use some of the more advanced functions.However, overall, these issues are relatively minor and haven't significantly impacted my overall experience with LiveAgent. The platform is still very effective and efficient for providing customer support and has allowed me to improve customer satisfaction and response times.
Vendor Response

Simplified support in one place
Live Agent has helped me respond to customers quicker over whatever communication they chose to use. It also means I can easily see past interactions with a customer when they contact us again, allowing me to come across as much more personal to them. The organisation of tickets is excellent, distributing them by department, or agent workload etc. This has definitely closed the gaps in our customer service response, making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
PROSThe integration of multiple customer channels into one inbox. Customers can send me facebook messages, comment on posts, emails, contact form submissions etc. and they all come into one inbox. When I reply the message goes back to the customer using whatever system they used.It make us look super responsive on any platform!
CONSThe interface is a little dated and could do with a refresh. the iOS app is limited and doesn't have access to canned responses etc.
Reason for choosing LiveAgent
Price and ease of inbox.

Hi Ben, Thank you very much for your feedback. We are glad to hear that LiveAgent has been the right choice for you when it comes to providing better customer care.

Taking advantages of all the support channel that LiveAgent is providing, we now be able to connect and helping our customer and closing support tickets quicker. All information from previous interaction with returning customer is saved so we can revise back their old issues.
CONSIt is not happen too often but the system is loading too long to retrieve customer information and make them wait in the live chat channel support. I am just glad that it is not happening too often recently.

We needed an upgrade for our support app and decided to switch to LiveAgent. We're very happy we did
The biggest benefit we get from LiveAgent is being able to communicate with customers and immediately see their order history (shopify integration) and their previous messages with our support team. This saves time for both us and the customer.
PROSThe plethora of functionalities and having all support channels in 1 app: live chat, email, social and phone. I also highly value great support. A great app with mediocre support is not a great app. So, besides all the options in the app I was also happy to find LiveAgent has a great support team themselves.
CONSCompared to our last support app the dashboard feels very cluttered, but LiveAgent also has lots more functions, so it's not a big deal. Once you're used to it, you don't notice it anymore.
Reason for choosing LiveAgent
There was a lifetime license deal on LiveAgent, so we decided to give it a try. We were happy with the app, so there was no need to also give freshdesk a try.
Reasons for switching to LiveAgent
We needed a solution that also integrated with social & phone. In Help Scout there was a work around option to achieve this but it didn't really fit our needs. So we started looking for reviews of other apps and asking other business owners what they used. LiveAgent came up a couple of times as the best solution. When we saw there was a deal for a lifetime license we decided to give it a go and we never looked back.

Excellent Experience Overall - I Recommend LiveAgent
The customer support team for LiveAgent has been excellent, helping work through our needs and how LiveAgent can meet those. The application has helped us improve our management support items.
PROSFor day-to-day use, it is very intuitive for our client services team; the interface is visually intuitive, with colour coding that makes easy to see which tickets need attention and when. The automatic rules also offer a large amount of flexibility in managing support tickets and providing the right information to our team.
CONSSome basic features are not yet included; e.g. instead of responding to an individual message, you have to forward that message, and choose all the recipients again. However, I've noticed that new features are available often, and I am confident inconveniences such as this will be resolved with time.
Reason for choosing LiveAgent
Better price-to-value options; LiveAgent's pricing options are scaled towards the extent of your usage. E.g. if you don't use the Chat or Social Media options, you can omit them. The other options tended to leave out core functionality in their basic packages that became an obstacle to efficient usage.
Vendor Response
Hi Jacob, Thank you for such a nice review. We pride ourselves in making our software feel natural and simple to use and are glad to see the work is paying off. That said, there are always areas where we can improve and will continue to do so to provide the best helpdesk software on the market.

High-quality team support software
Aside from its high availability, ease of use, and strong security for agents, it also integrates well with other systems. Users required less instruction to become proficient with LiveAgent.
PROSLiveAgent allows us to centralize all of our support communications, providing excellent visibility for the entire team as well as insightful metrics into our efficacy. That way, if one of the support staff members is out sick or on vacation, another may pick up the slack and continue answering customers' questions from where they left off.
CONSI wish there were more customization choices for the interface elements like the chat and Knowledge Base panes. In addition, I wish I could buy ticket filters online. Nonetheless, it's nothing major.
Reasons for switching to LiveAgent
When we first opened, we were just another option for companies in need of a call center. Availability was a problem for us. Because of LiveAgent, our agents can focus on their task without being interrupted by things like a lack of power. As a result, agents have the freedom to conduct their work from any location.

The perfect fit for my needs.
All in all, LA lets me provide support in a pretty frictionless capacity - for my support submitters AND myself. It brings to the table more features than I will ever use (but enjoy exploring and setting up as I go).I call that a win.
PROSI've tried many support software packages. Yes, there is one that I found that I like aspects of even more than LiveAgent but at the end of the day, LA brings more to the table. The fact that I can hook up multiple brands and manage them all from one login puts it over the top in my books.
CONSHonestly, while the software has improved in the aesthetics department over time, it looks a bit dated. I do, however, like it's tabbed interface and customizability.
Reason for choosing LiveAgent
I looked at several as I like to keep a pulse on what's out there, so I continue to try other platforms. What has me staying with LiveAgent is the value for the money. I haven't found any other platform that can do more for my needs, for less.
Reasons for switching to LiveAgent
Ultimately I was moving away from it as a whole so the support component went with it and needed to be replaced.

Hello Tyler, thank you for your honest feedback!

The best hosted helpdesk software money can buy!
LiveAgent is feature packed, easy to setup, easy to use and the support is incredible! I live the fact that you can provide support through multiple channels (ticket, live chat, phone, Twitter and Facebook). You can't go wrong with this. It's absolutely amazing and I can't talk about it enough. I use it every day in my business and have almost all of my emails incoming into the system and have rules setup to route tickets to various departments depending on the email.
CONSNothing, absolutely nothing! This software is amazing in every way!
