Support is excellent. Product is very stable and reliable. It is easy to use and service is very consistant. We have used this product over 1 year.

Wish it had more features, but it is a growing company and I like their dedication. Would like a client assist feature. They used to have it, but are not offering it anymore.

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

We use O'Lark every day inlive chat of our product. I have not had many issues while using this product. Mostly minor and the team will take care of them quickly. We also use Olark on our website for people who are interested in our software.

"Easy to use with great customisation options!"
What do you like best about Olark?

Clean looking, easy to use and understand even if you are just starting in Customer Support role where tools sometimes seem to be quite complicated. It easily integrates with your company's website or other frameworks. I also like that I get automatically signed out of it if I forget to do that.

What do you dislike about Olark?

I haven't encountered anything so far that I dislike about it. Perhaps from the Operator side of things, expanding / adding navigation menu to get to the admin area of things would be useful.

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

Great solution for providing first contact Customer support.

"Great intergreation with Sirportly."
What do you like best about Olark?

We joined it for integration with Sirportly, but found it fantastic easy to use, cuts down on support tickets and has a fantastic tracking and CRM integration.

What do you dislike about Olark?

minor things like can't make it bigger on the user side, if they're sending us large amounts of text it fills up their page pretty quick and same with responses. making it hard to read - BUT, you can send them an email of the transcript showing everything so its a minor thing but it comes with a work around.

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

it's great for giving the customer an instant update.

Quick and easy to get up and running plus valuable insights into who is on the site in real time.

"Great program, great customer service!"
What do you like best about Olark?

Immediate and friendly customer service whenever a question arises

What do you dislike about Olark?

Difficulty and expensive to customize appearance (beyond very simple adjustments)

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

Having chat available for our customers is extremely helpful in selling our products - we're a forklift and warehouse supply dealer, and most of our products are complex. Chat has provided a way for customers to quickly and easily do research, making them more likely to buy!
