Olark is very simple and to the point. The setup is easy and most importantly the chat is easy to use for our staff. I like the integration with salesforce.

I would like to see more reports within Olark. I would also like to see some more custom options with fields and syncing those fields to Salesforce.

We are trying to provide high visibility to our potential students and connecting them to our staff. We are also trying to sync our students data to our saleforce CRM with easy. This integration works very well.

"Great platform"
What do you like best about Olark?

We've been running Olark for a year at this point and it's been trouble free. We came from another vendor and had nothing but issues. With support bases all over the world, Olark helps us balance workloads and communicate on backchannels easily and in real time. Very helpful. Reporting is a good start.

What do you dislike about Olark?

Not a lot to dislike. Perhaps more customization options to exactly match my site, but that's a big ask.

"Easy to get started, easy to use"
What do you like best about Olark?

How easy everything is. Installation on the site is super quick as is setup and changes. Adding new team members is fast, as is monitoring conversations. If you have a small-ish team you want engaged on chat, you should 100% use this tool. If you have bigger teams (10+) then read other reviews because I haven't used the teams feature yet. But considering how easy everything else is on Olark, I would be surprised if teams is any different.

What do you dislike about Olark?

Nothing. I really love this tool. If there's an improvement I would make, it's to make finding various settings a bit more intuitive. They aren't always where you'd expect to find them and there's no quick search to figure out it. It's not a drama though - just adds a couple clicks while you look for it.

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

We want to make sure we can answer customer questions as they have them. Olark helps us do that in real time. It helps us engage customers at the exact moment they are considering our product.
