LiveChat Features

Although LiveChat lacked bots, I had to chose them because they were so superior to any other manned chat platform. In addition, since I first signed up with them, they have created a bot situation that is just as reliable. I wholeheartedly endorse it, it's called botengine.ai. Both BotEngine and LiveChat reliably work with Facebook Messenger, Web Pages, Landing Pages, and other platforms. Their integrations are seamless. LiveChat provides extensive flexibility, elegant interfaces, and robust reporting. It's simple for me to use on my phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.

Although LiveChat is a good workstation for our LOB, it is more expensive than some of its rivals since there have been times when there is some slowness when receiving chats and because there is a cap on the number of agents that may be logged in. When notifying the support team of faults or concerns, we have run into some additional delays.

Livechat has provided a really useful platform for us to get started with livechat provision on our site. The chat interface itself is easy for agents to use. It is also inexpensive compared with other similar platforms.

There are some important features missing or lacking. Spell check within the livechat itself is crucial for agents to ensure we are always putting our 'best foot forward', while trying to respond quickly to visitors. The automated greetings are great but lack the ability to set logic within the conditions, meaning I don't have quite the level of control I would like over the greetings. The CRM integration...

Hi Annabel, Thank you for your feedback, we do our best to create the best live chat experience for our customers and to constantly improve our product. If you don't mind, our Customer Success Team will be in touch to collect a few more information regarding some of the issues you experienced. Cheers, LiveChat Team

I greatly appreciate the capabilities that Livechat provides us, as it allows us to receive inquiries from those interested who browse our advertisements that we publish on social networking sites, where he can communicate with us directly by clicking on the links embedded in the advertisements, which increases interaction and improves response speed and increases our capabilities To reach potential customers more quickly. Livechat's artificial intelligence is very advanced, as it enables us to obtain detailed reports showing the extent of our employees' interaction with site visitors and customers during live chat, and thus we can always make appropriate improvements that suit customers' aspirations.

Livechat is almost flawless, as I have not tested any complex issues or any difficult tools to use. The user interface is clear in detail and easy to deal with to perform the tasks as required.

Having used LiveChat for several months now, I can confidently say that it has been a valuable tool for managing customer support inquiries. One of the pros of LiveChat is its ease of use - it was simple to set up and integrate with our website. Additionally, the ability to customize chat widgets and greetings has helped to create a personalized experience for our customers.

One of the cons of LiveChat is its limited reporting capabilities. While we can see basic data such as chat volume and response times, more in-depth analytics would be helpful for tracking customer satisfaction and identifying areas for improvement. Additionally, the mobile app can be glitchy at times, which can be frustrating when trying to respond to inquiries on-the-go.

The thing I like most a out the software are the customizable hashtags. I can pretty much automate an entire conversation with every customers by programming and learning preset hashtags. It is by far the quickest and most efficient way to communicate with a since of uniformity with all questions and concerns

The least favorite thing about chat is the limited features on the bottom pay tiers. The work scheduler is something I had to pay extra for even though it would be nice to have a schedule inside the app instead of having to keep another window open. I wish it was set up according to team size instead of person pricing.

I like to promote my business it was fantastic

I as satisfied to use this software im already suggest to this software to your my other friends.

Customers can get instant interaction with LiveChat. They can ask if an item is in stock, how much, shipping, all commonly asked questions and LiveChat can instantly provide that. LiveChat can also redirect all questions to me for further help that it can provide. It weeds out the simple questions so that I can focus on more time consuming tasks. It's so affordable, I'm so glad I implemented the chat on my website.

Sometimes customers get annoyed when the chat bubble automatically pops up. I don't see it as a con, the customers can easily click away if they don't need help.

I like the instant live chat that my customers get it reduces waiting time from sending support emails.

I don't like the layout it kind of getting old.

Easy chat Easy ticket management Knowledge base management Easy to search Soft client supports

Application sometimes taking load to run except nothing can less as compare to cost

- Stable platform - Ease of separation of groups - Ease of integration - Reports and tools (admittedly we export this into our own tool and don't use LC's) - Security and custom rules - Customization and branding - Consistent improvements - Support team is prompt and helpful

- Some updates cause issues with set up and updates aren't announced very well - Ticket system is 'meh' and we don't use it - No send chat transcript by group, it's all or nothing

Thank you and really happy you like using LiveChat, we do our best to make it even better, every day!

This allows customers to reach out and discuss issues that they are having with their service, or to set up new service, without calling in. It helps our company to keep the abandoned calls down, while still providing quality service to our customers. It's also convenient for those customers that need to have a conversation with us but can not be on the phone because they are at work. It provides all of the functionality of calling into our call center in a more convenient package.

If the customer has an internet hiccup during a conversation, it will drop the conversation - though it does save the history so that they are able to come back without having to repeat everything. I would not call this a major drawback. If a customer calls in, there is a chance that they will have bad cell service and drop the call as well, without the benefit of the chat history. This is not a flaw with the product itself, but more the platform that it draws from and I would say that the flaw is equal to that of phone calls without the added drawback of abandoned calls.

- Ease of setup - Reliable operation - User-friendly operational/agent interface - Ability to customize pre-questions to gain consent for personal info collection, etc.

- Support for options to increase privacy protection of site visitors (ie, for EU GDPR compliance) could be better. For example, disabling IP address collection requires a special support request and then it is entirely removed. It would be much better if IP address enable/disable was an admin-controlled setting that, if enabled, would only remove the last octet of the IP address (like Google Analytics...

I love how simple it is to keep in communications with our customers. It is an easy software to use and has some features that make things much easier for customer service representatives. My favorite part is the canned responses or snippets. It makes things easier when keeping up with company expectations of what is expected in a call.

Some of the manager options could be a little easier to use. When monitoring a chat that someone else is taking occasionally there is a delay.

We find LiveChat to be very user friendly, and especially like the API functionality.

I can't really think of anything we dislike about LiveChat, it suits our needs perfectly.

Hi Kaleb, Thank you and really happy you like using LiveChat, we do our best to make it even better, every day! If by chance, you had a moment to leave us a review at WordPress, it would help us even more deliver the best live chat experience to our WordPress users: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-live-chat-software-for-wordpress/reviews/#new-post  Cheers, LiveChat team

Livechat is the most intuitive Helpdesk solution I have tried.It has got a reliable support team for companies and organizations using it.I like the regular email newsletters sent to users by Olga Kolodynska of Livechat ; these newsletters provides insights into newer ways via which we can maximize Livechat to close more sales ,reduce website bounce rate and increase revenue for my organization. I also like how I am able to respond to tickets opened by our customers by simply replying to the email notification sent by Livechat as against logging into the Livechat interface itself.

Inability to respond to tickets via the mobile app.At the current time,the Livechat smartphone app. Is only used to chat with web visitors.There is no way to transfer chats ,or even make use of the canned response feature via the Livechat app.

You can maintain anything from general query of a customer via live chat to managing a dashboard with all kinds of matrix

None that i can think of right now, they're pretty good at solving a problems

We're big on aesthetics and the look and feel of LiveChat is worlds better than many of their competitors. We can also integrate with Zapier and ZenDesk which is pretty swell.

We've had a fair number of customers complain to us about elements of LiveChat that we have no control over. Namely, they can't see a chat wait time till they've committed to a chat and once they're in a queue to chat, there is absolutely no option for them to leave other than to close the entire browser window (which in our case, means exiting our app). We've brought this up with LiveChat a few times and haven't heard anything about a fix being on the roadmap. It's quickly becoming a dealbreaker for us.

Allows for simple and quick implementation of a LiveChat option on our site and software application.

There have been some service outages and connection issues during business hours which impacted our customers and resulted in some negative feedback to our business. We rely on the tool to be functional in order to utilize and offer this communication channel to customers. Also, the reporting could be improved. Rarely do I use or look at the Dashboard as it is not customizable and the reports do not...

The two biggest advantages of LiveChat, distinguishing it from the competition, are: integration with a Facebook messenger and a plugin integrating with Google Analytics.

In fact LiveChat no defects, meets all, copes well with all tasks.

As a Senior Solutions Architect, I am sometimes tasked with solving problems for clients. For instance: I am currently wrapping up an SD-WAN project for a major financial institution. We are currently in the optimization phase and LiveChat has been instrumental in assisting us ironing out unexpected kinks. I absolutely love that we can offer real time support to affected users and engage in dialogue to help rectify the problem in the most efficient manner. It has a great built-in ticket monitoring system, which helps us effectively manage a huge list of issues. It's extremely secure, simple to use and allows us to provide round the clock technical support and instant feedback to our customers.

It may be costly for the smaller businesses.

Having tried several (10+) chat software to find the right fit this is the easiest, most customizable, and affordable solution on the market.

Can't really put anything to the product. Perhaps a bit better Pardot/SF integration.

One of the things I love most about this software is its real-time support feature, which allows customers to receive immediate assistance with their inquiries or issues. This has significantly improved their satisfaction levels, as they no longer have to wait for an email or phone call response.Another feature that has been invaluable is the ability to capture and store customer information. With...

I have noticed a couple of things that I don't particularly like about the platform. Firstly, the pricing can be quite expensive, especially for small businesses or startups that may not have the budget to invest in a high-priced solution. Secondly, while the software is packed with powerful features, it can be quite complex to set up and configure initially. Lastly, while the software generally runs smoothly, I have experienced occasional connectivity issues or downtime, which can be frustrating when trying to provide real-time support to customers.

LiveChat integrated perfectly with our business, the software is fast and allows us to reduce the average service. Because we are able to solve our customers' problems more quickly, we were able to expand our customer portfolio. This means increased revenue for our company. But the most positive effect was being able to improve the way our company was seen in the market. The best thing about LiveChat is that it allows us to work and at the same time provide support to our client, because whenever there is a new interaction, the software emits an audible warning on the mobile device and this allows us to be answering questions in real time.

Well, we currently face only a few difficulties with the usability of the app for mobile devices, because the web version of LiveChat is perfect, but the mobile version and a little limited, in my view, needs to expand the features in the mobile version, such as the resolution tags that are not allowed to be added in each contact, but the web version has this function. Another issue that implies the use of LiveChat is the cost of implementation, which is a little high by the standards of some companies.

First of all the Support team is very friendly and helpful. This is key and they have always tried their best to help, and were open to my feedback on improvements that could be made. It is very easy to use, very intuitive. Has some unique features I've not found in other live chat apps (example: auto greetings to customers are personal, and come specifically from one of my live chat experts. Other platforms I've used, it sends a generic auto invite, and the customer has to ACCEPT to chat, before they are connected with an agent. We have compared, and this one feature makes our take rate (customer engages in a chat) much higher, due to it being a personal invitation by one of our reps.

The biggest one is the inability to customize Visitors window for our staff. An older version (which we still have to use) used to allow you to set up specific columns of info on each visitor. This way you could see how many times they visited, were invited, refused, etc… without having to click on each visitor to see this info. If you have a lot of visitors it is impossible to click on each of...
