There were times it would display me as offline or away, which I wasn't, so that would become a bit of an issue, but besides that, the chat itself was easy to use.

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

Chatting directly with our customers and solving any issues or questions they may have regarding our products. Being able to connect with almost immediately and solving problems instantly was always big plus.

"Added huge value to our pay for click campaigns"
What do you like best about Olark?

It's really simple to install on your website, provides some great tools for an auto response without it appearing robotic and provides easy access for your web visitors to reach out and contact you

What do you dislike about Olark?

There is very little I dislike about it, constructive criticism it could do with some canned responses which would be useful to use when you can't quite get to respond to a customer efficiently

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

I think it's greatly improved the conversion ratio of our AdWords campaigns and is certainly allowed people to communicate with us freely and easily without the suspicion of filling in forms
