Pros

“It’s a reliable tool that brings all customer communication into one place, which makes daily tasks much easier. While there’s a bit of a learning curve and the interface can feel busy at times, once you get used to it, it really helps streamline support and improve response times.”

Titus T.

Administrative Manager

“Liveagent's feature rich environment, it almost fulfil all of our needs in one price model, our customer enquiries segment is fully solved by liveAgent.”

Kamlesh M.

marketing consultant

“True Omnichannel Ticket Management: It features a highly reliable universal inbox that neatly converts emails, live chats, phone calls.”

Andhale r.

Customer service associate

Pros

“The platform significantly improved how issues are handled and followed up, making team coordination smoother. Despite a few areas that could be strengthened, it remains a dependable tool that enhances productivity and communication.”

Mouatez C.

Customer Support Specialist

“From my perspective, I consider HelpDesk as a state-of-the-art tool that effectively performs multitasking functions with the objective of resolving and addressing the concerns of patients, agents, and other service providers connected to the system, thereby fulfilling the needs of all stakeholders involved.”

John R.

Service Representative

“The new ticketing system which allowed me to take chats and check my tickets at the same time.”

Jude D.

Customer Success Agent

Cons

“Several other things don't work well - it loses the connection very easily, sometimes causing a complete loss of what you were doing, and merging tickets is a pain compared to Freshdesk, where all you had to do was click on the tickets you wanted to merge and selecting "merge."”

Alex F.

President

“It's a bit buggy, and some things are just plain stupid - eg, you can only have one window open at a time, which makes using 2 screens to compare notes from one ticket to another impossible, for instance.”

Alex F.

President

“The mobile app is significantly limited compared to the main app, which makes managing conversations on the go less effective.”

Sebastian L.

Administrator

Cons

“The ai I implemented to respond first before connecting to live agent seems to get stuck in endless loops of repeating questions and answers”

Jessica B.

Owner

“I dislike the fact that you can't sort through HelpDesk tickets by other identifiers (i.e., Subject (Website Contact Form Submission), Custom Quote Forms, etc.).”

Ron H.

Client Relationship Management

“If tickets are misrouted or the system is too rigid, sometimes errors may occur.”

Ivan V.

Customer Success Representative
