"Does What It Has To, But That's About It"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

LiveChat is a relatively straightforward software that allows you to chat with web visitors and vice versa. For that purpose alone, it does exactly what it's supposed to. It's relatively easy to get up and running, and the backend is very straightforward and easy to use. It's also pretty cheap.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

Outside of being able to chat, LiveChat doesn't offer much. The reporting is pretty lackluster, tracking user behavior is very limited, if someone chats after-hours you essentially lose all data associated with their session, customization is limited. It's almost like that made this app 10 years ago and then stopped doing any updates since.

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

Getting leads from our website.

"Livechat for small businesses"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

Helping customers at odd hours more easily and less work

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

Often times the program will not work or notify me, and even the phone app will fail to notify me, so there are occasionally missed chats

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

Customers call less as they know they can get support with us via a livechat

"Live Chat is good syncing with other technologies but a bit clunky on the front end"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

Like that it syncs up with Salesforce easily and if you use out of the box functionality it's quick to stand up

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

Hardest part has always been the front end coding to get the design to exactly match the brand standards that we want. Seems to always need a lot of QA on multiple systems.

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

It syncs with Salesforce which is a huge plus so we can use our database to answer customer questions

"It could be better"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

It is convenient. It is also effecient in ensuring clients. It is great way to maintain face to face meetings with clients. Makes job easier and smoother. Creates repor with clients. Easy to learn to use. Easy and quick to access.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

It is very glitchy! More often than not it buffers for long periods of time. There is often interruptions in connection that cause loss of contact with client and or miscommunication. Software DEFINITELY needs some adjustments and tweaks. Keep working!

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

Customer satisfaction! Correcting any errors with their products. Giving clients a face to go with the name. Not just a voice over the phone.

"G2 Crowd Chat Session"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

I was asked a series of relevant and intelligent questions.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

My session was abruptly terminated (not timed out) for no apparent reason, so I never got any feedback to the questions I had answered.

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

I was trying to identify the best language learning software for my needs. I received no benefit because my chat session was abruptly terminated (not timed out) for no apparent reason, and I never got any feedback to the questions I had answered.

"Questionable "
What do you like best about LiveChat?

I like the fact that at the click of a button I can ask specific questions and get live help.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

I dislike the fact that from past experiences it’s not always a truthful person on the other end, using my information with good intentions!

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

Benefits of getting real, unfiltered feedback from it. People aren’t afraid to share their feelings on a computer. Face to face is a different story. In addition, many people are hesitant to enroll in something or buy it due to fear of the unknown. Having live chat makes targeting those people easy and obtains the clients that would have otherwise been left behind or not choosen a product or service.

"Serious work needs to be done with mobile services..."
What do you like best about LiveChat?

Its simple to use - strait forward - easy to implement

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

1. Expensive 2. We operate a brand-new top of the line Samsung phone with a top access to internet and the app often drops, fail to alert a client is has contacted us, etc., etc. It also suddenly stopped to fire an audible message with a client contact us, went thru all the settings (phone and app) and there is nothing who cant reverse this Note: same happened with the previous phone we used to use to operate the live chat, that why we need-up upgrading to a newer phone... wasted money

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

So far not much, we have a narrow pool of clients available, every time this app help us to get on client we issues with communicating with 2 others

"Seems useful"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

Haven't been able to use it a lot as it is not my main form of support, but I do like that it seems pretty straightforward and convenient for members and agents.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

I wish I could integrate it with Zendesk more. We have links we send to members in emails, I wish we could use the same links to send to members through chat as well.

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

Customer support type questions. No technical support.

" My time using chat.io"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

A lot less crashes than some of the software I have tested out for live chat in my industry we had quite a few to choose from and this was one of the front runners because of its ease-of-use and user-friendly interface.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

The only thing I did not like was it wasn’t quite as customizable and some of the interfaces that were available looked very generic which is ultimately why my company decided to use A different more customizable chat client but for small businesses it would definitely get the job done if you don’t need your branding to be prominent in the application .

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

It is a basic live chat platform and it gets the job done it prevents the need to tie up our 800 numbers and phone calls with general things that can be answered over chat it’s pretty streamlined and allows for client feedback to better customer service provided through this medium.

"Loved the interface, but tech support was lacking"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

The interface is intuitive, simple and easy to learn.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

Tech support was roughly 8 time zones away from our company and it took a week to get 1 question answered. Simple questions could get answered using their chat during regular work hours. More complex questions were more difficult to handle quickly.

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

We used Live Chat to assist with our new website. Online Chat in general is an incredibly valuable tool for any company.

"LiveChat Review"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

From what I remember LiveChat was integrated in our website as a chat plugin. We only used this for a few months before switching to Tawk.to which is free.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

I believe it worked OK on our end but we ended up using another chat software because we are not getting that too many chats so we opted for a free software.

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

We are a foundation, non profit company and we help other people get educated in their online businesses. We dont get too many inquiries so LiveChat was not fit for our company,
