I also am pleased with the ticket function with this software. I like that I can see what guests are typing before they have sent the message so I can answer effectively and efficiently.
I really like Live Chat because of the benefits of communication offered to the community on various internet platforms, I think this is an amazing tool and needs to be further developed.
The only thing I liked about this software was the ease of navigation. I don't have anything else of importance to say that is good about this product.
Pros
Their support is amazing and friendly - regardless of you being a paying customer or free user.
The fluency of the widget on the site, the ease of use and integration, everything. The pricing is fair, easy to understand, and the support is great.
HelpCrunch was my choice after a long search, and I am so glad I did. The ease of use is extraordinary, and I am thrilled with the help I have received.
Cons
On occasion LiveChat will loop in connect mode and stay stuck. I have had customers angry or more angry because they end up having to call anyway.
It created significantly more problems than one would expect at such prices. The system was buggy, call members would drop frequently, and problems persisted in a variety of locations and atmospheres.
Too limited options for inserting a large amount of information, for example, videos and documents. The program directly depends on the Internet and without it does not work.
Cons
The upsell pricing is a big problem as the pricing from one to plan to other differs a lot and the main problem is integrations are lacking.
It was a little confusing to begin with but after a little bit of practise it became very familiar.
The only negatives I could provide in comparison to Intercom is the lack of Integrations and chat widget marketing options.
