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.

Response from QualityUnit
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

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

Hello Barney, many thanks for your great review! It means a lot to us and we are super thrilled to hear that you are happy with the platform and the chat solution LiveAgent is offering. We understand that it is necessary to manage all the tickets from the very beginning as each customer is important and should be taken the best care of and that is why LiveAgent makes sure that no ticket is skipped or left out! Just remember that our support team is always ready to help so feel free to start a chat on our website should you have any questions! :)

Easy and helpful tool only for live chat services or live customer support
Even with lots of features bad support system might make this application little annoying. Overall Liveagent is easy to use helpdesk that tracks everything in real time. Comparably affordable, easy to deploy and if they add custom support email for every agent then this tool is best in class.
Pros
Lots of helpful features among which one that helps SEO of our website. I have heard lot from other companions about this brand and that made me recommend this to my team. Its again easy to deploy tool like many of the new tools but you don't need to entirely change your website structure code to implement this and that inclined us towards LiveAgent. One more thing that highlighted while we I was on trial that it had a video chatting service that definitely solved many internal issues with customers.
Cons
LiveAgent should work on their interface as its not much easy for non technical person. Lots of other application even if they lack features but they are easy to use. Their support hangs many times and I need to wait half or 1 hour to get a support from their team regarding any issues and that's sometimes annoying.
Reasons for choosing LiveAgent
Tawk.to is basic chat tool and had lots of bugs in their initial release. I got reviews from my other companions about live agent and I have started using it and comparably liveagent was much better than tawk.to.

Response from QualityUnit
Hello Nitin! Thank you for your review. We're glad to see that you are happy with the product. As for our Customer Service, it is very unusual that you will be waiting for that long. Could you please share with us your ticket number on support@liveagent.com and we'll look into it. - LiveAgent Team

Frustrating Chat Tool
Not as user friendly as Tawk.
Pros
Got it because it was on an AppSumo LTD, so low priced and also it had the feature of visitors to call as well besides just chatting.
Cons
Biggest peeve was that, if you don't log into the back-end at certain intervals, you will have to log-in to keep your app active on your website.
Reasons for switching to LiveAgent
Tawk only had chat function but LiveAgent had voice call too.

LiveAgent is professional for agent and customer
It's excellent that customers may leave a note or utilize the knowledgebase to solve issues when agents are unavailable (for example, outside of business hours). It's great that many people may work on a ticket at once, and we can all see who's working on what and how they've responded.
Pros
Just do it! Superb assistance, interesting and expertly presented content, and a thoroughly professional demeanor throughout. Because of how user-friendly it is for salespeople and consumers alike, our business has no plans to switch providers. Many customers have been helped by a live person who answered their concerns or resolved their issues immediately, eliminating the need for them to wait on hold.
Cons
It's not like I love the pause button or anything. I'd rather have the option of setting an away status that sends a busy signal to the customer while I take a quick break for whatever reason (comfort, food, etc.). However, the IT assistance is excellent, and while I agree that some features, like scheduling store hours, are overly difficult, I appreciate the effort.
Reasons for switching to LiveAgent
LiveAgent is a highly polished platform that impresses both agents and customers with its variety of useful features and sleek design options. The ticketing system is a fantastic tool for data mining and the accumulation of offline communications and leads.

Response from QualityUnit
Hello Sarah, thank you very much for your amazing review! We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us and we are thrilled to see you satisfied with our solution not planning to switch to any other provider. Feel free to send us more details about how exactly you imagine the feature of setting an away status via chats on our website and we will be happy to report it to our developers for our future improvement. Until then, you can put yourself on pause at any time so that no chats/calls would ring to you and your colleagues could also see that you are currently on a pause. You can also reach us via email at support@liveagent.com at any time! :)

Excellent Support for My Customers With Room to Grow
This a significant improvement over our previous help desk application. I am able to track and quickly resolve all customer issues. It just works the way it should. Our previous vendor kept changing elements of the software interface which only served to slow down our work because we had to learn how the interface was changing.
Pros
Easy to set-up and manage. Provides all my support requirements in a simple to track dashboard of customer touch points.
Cons
I have had occasional issues with email notifications stopping. Rare and quickly resolved with tech support in all cases.
Reasons for choosing LiveAgent
Price and features

Better features in Live Agent. Room to expand. And we were frustrated with Teamviewer getting in our way more times that necessary.

Easy to provision, simple setup and useful analytics
It seems like a good value for money.
Pros
Like the Dashboard which provides a simple and necessary summary. The Ticket menu visualizes the queue, interactions status and timing. Like the Chat option as a feature even we didn't manage to test. The call menu can provide a useful analytics view.
Cons
It took me some time to set up the ticket routing rules.
Reasons for choosing LiveAgent
Combination of cost and functionality.

LiveAgent is a great tool for customer success for our SaaS product
Pros
We really appreciate the Live Chat, Ticketing and the KnowledgeBase features. They are easy for us to configure and easy for the customer to navigate.
Cons
The initial onboarding to LiveAgent could be improved a little. There are many wonderful capabilities and I expect that we are not using all facets optimally.
Reasons for choosing LiveAgent
LiveAgent is less expensive, easier to use and overall a better product.

Super easy to use and train other staff on
Pros
I like how easy it is to implement when you need something that is simple, we needed something that would be easy to train our student staff on and my staff understood the platform right away because it was easy and simple to navigate.
Cons
There was nothing i could think of that I dislike. Maybe things that aren't preferred are the locations of some buttons? When closing a ticket, sometimes it's tricky to find where to do so or to end a chat on our end.

More Importantly, Our Visitors Love Live Agent
I don't think I could do without LiveAgent. It serves two purposes for us. It is an active lead generator and we get quite a few who just want our help with something. We always are able to engage with them, even if they are not our customers. We know by doing so, they'll want to be our customers!
Pros
Software was easy to setup and use. It sits in the background for the online agent and beeps when someone is on. It's very efficient and practical for Live Chat.
Cons
The setup was a little cumbersome but there help and support was awesome. Once you have everything setup, there's no issue.

Very Useful with a Great Features and many Possibilities
Overall, it's huge leaps and bounces compared to our previous software, which was leaving out some core options and functionality LiveAgent has, client satisfaction and useful leads had increased ever since we try it.
Pros
I am able to easily keep tabs on clients and Agents alike, helping us convert clients' inquiries from our website into quality sales leads, it has brought so many benefits.
Cons
Set up took a bit longer than our previous software, some parts of the UI are unintuitive, had to contact Support more often than previously expected, some basic features are not included in the demo.
Reasons for switching to LiveAgent
Our previous software was impacting our website's loading times and response, our SEO strategy was not getting the expected results because of this, with LiveAgent we achieve it and surpassed expectations, even with the free trial.

MTW Live Agent Review for Capterra
Live Agent is simply the best product that we - a growing company that markets a fitness app with a MLM component - use on a regular basis. The pricing is fair, and the LA people get back to any of our CS inquiries VERY quick. Highly recommend!
Pros
So easy to use. The interface is incredibly user-friendly. I am somewhat technologically challenged, but after watching the Live Agent you tube videos and tutorials I learned how to do everything I needed to provide excellent Customer Service!
Cons
There really is nothing. Been using software 5 months and yet to find a negative.
Reasons for choosing LiveAgent
The fact that LA had a simple chat & ticketing solution vs Zendesk which had SO MUCH duplicative software that our company didn't even need.
