We used it for training a whole lot. For nesting we would have potentially 1 mentor to 5 students and it was so valuable

What problems is LiveChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

When you are on the phone customers are so much less patient than the chat. It takes a lot of stress off of the awkward silences

"Improves customer service"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

It is the ideal solution to provide an optimized customer service. LiveChat improves communication since the client can easily access the chat window and make inquiries to support agents. Its main panel is easy to use, it provides basic analytics that show the customer's experience broken down into different metrics. -Time of chat duration, number of resolved cases or the customer experience with the support team-. It is integrated with social networks, which improves the customer experience. Also, allows customization of graphic elements such as logo chat company and agent profiles -.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

LiveChat provides an adequate solution to our needs. We have no complaints about the software, it works quite well. Although I could suggest adding more integrations of traffic analysis tools.

What problems is LiveChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a tool that helps us get closer to the client. The chat allows us to communicate assertively and provide customized solutions. It is an optimal solution for our company.

What do you like best about LiveChat?

We are using LiveChat for more than a year and we are really happy as the customer base of our product began to grow as we implemented LiveChat on our website. It really helps to maintain a strong communication with our customer base and to help them chat about queries in real time. In the mean time we are also using this great platform on our internal systems so that we can help our system developers sort their issues and continue working in real time.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

The online validation of the site to check if the code is implemented on the website takes al long time to load and to see on the live website. We request to fix this issue fast !

"Our clients love chatting with us!"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

We use LiveChat Inc on our current website and we're planning on putting it on our sister site as well! Our clients love the convenience of talking to us while they're browsing to answer any questions they may have. The statistics logging is a great bonus as well. We've learned quite a bit from the bread crumb logs that the service provides to see where our clients go before reaching their order.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

The UI is a bit cumbersome but overall once you're use to it, everything is relatively easy to find.

What problems is LiveChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

We eliminated quite a bit of quick calls and freed up some time with our reps not having to answer the phones.

"Using LiveChat to help customers"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

Gave me the chance for a good first impression. Definitely better management of customer support and multitasking issues using Real-Time Communication. All these helped led to deeper relationships and stronger impact with customers.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

Pretty much as with being put on hold during a phone call for an indefinite period, online consumers hate being left waiting and wondering how long it would take to get their request addressed. Long wait time is reported as one of the main reasons why customers decide not to come back, actually. Also not as cost effective.

What problems is LiveChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Customer expectations have been evolving rapidly, and one of the most essential features they expect today from their online experience is immediate service. If there’s a channel that provides an instant answer and quick solution, they willingly opt in to it in order to save time and skip waiting.

"Excellent Service That Every E-Commerce Business Should Have"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

Love the features of live-chat that are all under the hood and buried in the settings. Can customize auto replies as well as make custom greetings to every customer.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

Many of the great features of live chat are buried under layers of different tiers of membership which wasn't always the case.

What problems is LiveChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Customer service in an easy environment that is always available, much easier than dealing with customers via tickets/ phone calls.

"Slick chat tool"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

Whisper mode and continuing chats with previous visitors are the best tools. The round robin setup our team uses is a bit annoying, but LiveChat allows for a hierarchy of who gets chats first.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

Some UI tools a bit fussy. Switching between chats and transferring chats takes a bit of getting used to.

"Solid Chat Software"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

I like the color-coded view of my open chats: green for current, red for waiting on response and grey for inactive or closed. I find it helpful that LiveChat lets any operator create "canned responses" this makes it efficient and easy to deliver a consistent message. We use the desktop app, the push notifications make it easy to see when chats come in. I also like that we can see how many users are currently browsing our site

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

I like the simple traditional interface. Recently there was an update that added more information to the dashboard that I really don't use, like location data. There is the option to switch back to the traditional interface.

What problems is LiveChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

My team accepts live chats. We can transfer chats between operators, we can set chats to auto assign. This has all the features that we need

"Great for Self-Starting Managers with Internal IT"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

LiveChat is the gold standard for customization, either by cloud or server. Our call center used the in-house server solution to launch credit union data processing member (end banking customer) support. We migrated to a solution on the cloud because it is the only complete solution to customized both prioritized routing and skill based routing, with multiple agents and skill sets. No other solution will allow you to effectively set skill levels, or use multiple locations with rollover or business after hours. It also does push chat as optional, on multiple channels, which avoids the ¨support request trap¨ for push vs pull chats on support pages. (You want push on sales pages, and pull on non-revenue support pages, like tech support or banking balances.)

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

Two general areas of concern: First, the technical support was outside the United States. I will disclose they even missed a meeting with our CEO after agreeing to it. The time change for engineering level support in mid-eastern Europe was challenging, but language barrier was never an issue. Engineers are thoughtful and proactive, but they seem to choose to ignore the requests that are either non-revenue/time consuming, or they consider out of scope but are in the contract as far as we can see. If the request was deemed trouble, I fear we were treated like the ¨office problem child.¨ The solution to this is to an internal IT willing and able to handle the support, coding and documentation, and only buy the cloud version if you want upgrades at all... The final challenge was pricing, since we were FORCED to migrate to cloud, almost held hostage, as they would not allow us the expansion products with an older site license (server). I recommend the company credit any prior server license purchase, dollar for dollar, migration upgrades. The missed CEO meeting was about discounting our migration, of course! We had to migrate to WebEx for pricing, and dismantle our hopes of the complexity needed. Caution: WebEx says they can do things, but they CAN´T, the sales people don´t understand the chat product with has push but is not nearly as complex as Live Chat.

What problems is LiveChat solving and how is that benefiting you?

In serving credit unions (client) and their members (banking end customers), we were hard pressed to find the scale ability, route ability and skill ability we need. We needed to provide three complete solutions to credit union on B2B: Complete outsource of chat, complete hosted chat solution, and chat as a backup (shared) based on business hours, skills or contact reason. This means host ability, scale ability skill ability and even skill levels, across many channels, topology and locations. Certain hours we needed to back some clients up. It would be a hot mess without the customization and scope of Live Chat core products. We also need three channels: Our in-house support/sales (as well as for our CUSO partners); Internet banking support; and, sales support for clients to members. The complexity grows as do the channels. We also needed a secure URL platform to disseminate logged in, verified online banking clients. In the end, credit union members wanted things that were not appropriate for chat, or for the channel they used, causing member frustration that could not be overcome.
