"Ease of use"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

Extremely nice and clean web interface that works perfectly. There is also a little software for Mac or Windows. The only real advantage is that you can set a specific time after which the tool goes offline when you show no activity. Signup is easy with no credit card required Customer service is exceptional as well. Definitely would recommend this to everyone! Ease of having the ability to chat with customers whenever. Administrator access is great as well

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

There isn't really anything that I don't like about Live Chat. It's a relatively great app to use.

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

The ability to transfer chats from one agent to another and it also supports agent groups, where users can choose which department they want to talk to. My team is able to chat with each other if they have questions or issues. Benefits: talking with my customers is always the number benefit. It's been so helpful to see who's on our site when they are actually there and to be able to help them when they need it!

"Saas Support must have"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

I love that I can quickly set myself to away and control how many chats I get at a time. The queued visitors alert is also super helpful in letting you know that customers are waiting.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

I sometimes have to reset the salesforce ticket creation login, and it's a pain.

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

Our customers prefer being able to speak to someone in realtime, chat helps us meet that need.

"Easy implementation of livechat!"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

Easy implementation across multiple sites; Integration with Desk.com works relatively easily; Allows us to stay in touch with our customer base.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

The only poor experience I've had to date is in implementing automatically completed pre-chat surveys based on our application's user data (thus reducing friction for the user, negating the need to enter data we already have on them in our system).

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

LiveChat provides an easy platform to increase you customer interaction and deliver value to your customers. We use it across our corporate web site along with our web based applications and find it highly effective in meeting our customer's expectations of support availability. Integration has been relatively painless with the only downside to date being that while you can programmatically provide some information, pre-chat surveys must be completed by the customer (annoying when you've got the data already and just want to surface it in the LiveChat admin space).

"LIVE CHAT"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

That I can prescreen what the customer is typing and be prepared to answer their question before they finish typing it in.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

I do not like the way that we personally have it setup, but i do not think that's an issue with the software, I think it is just the way that our company has set it up. Instead of each associate having a log in so the customer knows who they are speaking with it is just a generic "Customer Service" log in.

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

We have been able to limit the number of incoming calls and assist the customers that do not have access to a phone during normal business hours.

"Live-Chat" Review"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

Since this was used in our busy call-center, it was most beneficial during our high volume seasons. This system is quick and easy to use on the customer's end so it reduced call volume and well as helped us quickly resolve customer issues.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

There weren't many things to dislike. However, the platform/layout did look a nit out-dated, Live-Chat worked just fine.

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

Customer support and sales. The business 'problem' being solved is usually is trouble shooting for the website/eCommerce. Most of the time, customers would encounter issues with the site when submitting their orders, and need immediate help with the process, and instead of sitting a queue to wait on an associate, they quickly send a chat message. The benefits were the immediate assistance provided to the customers.

It allows immediate communication with customers and provides you with live chat and ticket functions. You can use different apps with Live Chat to enhance the experience.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

There are limits to the amount of agents that can be logged in and this also affects the reporting due to the tiered membership services Live Chat use

"No chatbot feature"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

It is easy to set up but for chatbot it needs to be subscribed to another 3rd party that provides chatbot and that's additional cost for our operations. They could have added that feature

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

Livechat is an older type of chat tool, where visitor can only just ask something by entering their information prior to get in touch with the live support and nowadays people don't want more process.

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

We were planning to use LiveChat as our GoChat for the website but some features that we are looking for are not available in LiveChat. Yes, you could engage the customer.

"Too expensive if you want chat bots"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

It was very easy to use as an agent, very user-friendly for the consumer.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

In order to use chat bots, you had to pay extra for them and they were expensive. Not worth it for smaller businesses.

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

We were looking to alleviate some of the phone traffic with a chat feature.

"Software to conduct customer service videoconferencing with live support and focused audio and image"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

What I like most about this software are the main features in real-time tracking of web traffic, ticketing system for problem solving and agent efficiency analysis.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

Among the quality of this software there is something that dislikes me and it is the high cost of the product, especially when compared to the cheap or no cost solutions that exist in the market. Despite mentioning the high price and the lack of free versions, customers agree that ‘the range of features and services offered’ justify the price.

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

This tool is very helpful since when I attend to the public in remote video chat I can do it without moving from my office, in this way I solve problems with clients online without needing to find them in people. It has helped me a lot in conducting distance meetings with my work colleagues, so I also recommend it.

"Nice Realtime solution"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

I like that the platform is built to be synchronous to offer real-time solutions. The live chat feature made it possible for people to get questions answered and issues resolved in a matter of minutes.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

The platform seemed to be a little "sticky" and there were a lot of freezing or lag time between messages being sent and received by the other party. What you could share via chat was very limited, making some solutions difficult to resolve or work out quickly.

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

The response time is quicker using LiveChat versus the traditional email method. This has helped with increased student engagement and performance.

"One of the best chat applications for internal communications"
What do you like best about LiveChat?

LiveChat is well designed and has appealing aesthetics which makes using it pleasurable. It also has lots of features such as a helpdesk and even a chatbot that is integrated within. I also like how they price per seat which means that a seat can be shared by multiple users but only billed as one.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

The idea of a ticket system is so outdated and is no longer used so it s not exactly helpful. There is also no way for one to delete files from a chat and that tends to annoy me. Also when new updates are pushed, there tends to be some issues with integration.

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

We used LiveChat in our company to try and get feedback, complaints or queries from our clients or prospective ones in a timely manner so that they know that they are at the center of our focus. This therefore enabled us to deal with requests from each client promptly.

"LiveChat + ChatBot Automated Selling and Client Needs. "
What do you like best about LiveChat?

I like that we're able to use LiveChat with ChatBot build without the need of Code as it's a drag and drop function allows us to make responses that match our client needs. With this on our website it allows us to have support on our website 24/7 and ensure that our clients are satisfied with their needs. It comes preset and allows you to customize the chat icon and place it on your website with a snippet of code.

What do you dislike about LiveChat?

I dislike that the feature to pop up the chat bubble after a certian amount of seconds may or may not work depending on the browser you have. Looping is also a feature that takes away the immersion, once you start looping you are able to realize that it is in fact a robot.

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

With LiveChat + ChatBot we are able to connect with our customers by giving them the idea that there is someone connected with them 24/7, this helps build value by automating customer support and lead generation to our staff.
