Overall, the experience has been positive; this tool makes it easier for us to address customer service requests quickly and effectively, while also giving customers more ways to contact us and giving my teammates the best opportunities to support clients.
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 gives us the ability to engage more directly with visitors to our site. It has certain functional limitation which my team find frustrating, however for the price that we pay, it is still good value.
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

Overall my experience had been above average and positive. Despite its faults and navigation issues connecting with clients in real time is invaluable.
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.

Fantastic app to further your online business. First of all, it's only $20 a month. Very affordable. The little chat bubble stays on the bottom of my website screen so customers can easily ask for help. LiveChat answers basic questions instantly which is usually all a customer needs. It's easily been the best purchase for my business to free up time. I'm spending less time answering customer service emails thanks to LiveChat.
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.

Pleasant onboarding and professional help customizing our setup. Overall just a pleasant experience working with the tool.
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.

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.

Our company started using LiveChat because we were losing a lot of customers due to the lack of support that was able to solve problems quickly. Before we started using the software, we used e-mail and this generated very slow communication with our customers. We implemented LiveChat just over two years ago and improved the level of our service. Since then, we have increased the efficiency of our work, reduced costs and mainly improved our relationship with the client.
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.

We love LiveChat. The availability of the apps that span across different operating systems is a huge bonus and was what initially drew us to the program. Our customers love the program going from chat to form, as they can contact us when we are not available to answer a chat. While the price is a little higher than other live chat clients, this one is worth the price because of the use by multiple agents on a single license. This sold us on the program, and we will continue to use it until it is no longer supported. It’s definitely worth it.
Apps. Many other live chat options do not include apps, especially not ones that work across both Android, Apple, Mac, and PC. It’s handy in case you are not in front of a computer or have to go from a Mac to a PC, then you have access on both. The fact that multiple agents can use the program (though only one at a time per license!) is very important. Many other live chat programs allow only one per person. This adds up quickly when you have more than one agent. The ability to change the website widget from a chat to a form is great on weekends or after business hours. This allows customers to be able to contact you without having to wait for business hours.
The only slight con is the cost of the product, but this is offset by the ability for multiple agents to use one license, as long as only one is logged on at a time. To do the same with other programs, you would have to purchase more than one license. So, the cost is justified, but there is still the initial sticker-shock. If the price were a little bit lower, we would be able to purchase two licenses and have two people on at the same time. However, the ability to have more than one person use the license makes it seem like we have loads of agents on at the same time. We did experience one or two bugs, but the tech support was able to fix them quickly so that we were back online within minutes.

We use LiveChat as a reservation / general information channel for our hostel. Because of this we're able to provide a more humane support and convert these people into actual reservations. Before using LiveChat we tried like 3-4 different tools which weren't (not even by a long shot) as reliable and effective as LiveChat is. My partner did not want to sign up for LiveChat because it was like 300 % more expensive than the ones that we've being using but the cost/benefit is totally worth it. We've had an increase of 400-500 % of actual reservations because of this tool.
It's packed with powerful features, details about customers that let us deal with them in a better way. The integration with Facebook Messenger is pretty cool (even though it should allow us to click on the person and be taken to his profile). Archiving, tagging and searching couldn't be simpler. Super powerful features for international sites (we use 6 translations). There is no software like this on the market.
My only complain is that there is no tool for a supervisor or sysadmin to check LiveChat without being logged as a user. There was a plan to do that (I even replied the form) but apparently they shelved. Ohh, and that the app (for iOS) just deals with chats, not with tickets. I use heavily both features.
Hi Alexandre, 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 allows for instant, one-on-one interaction with customers, increasing the likelihood that they will become paying clients. Live chat takes a customer-centric approach and equips your company with useful tools.
The use of real-time chat allows us to communicate with our clients in a highly productive manner. We have found that creating many agent accounts and assigning specific tasks to different teams of workers helps us do more in less time.
Its price tag is higher than those of its rivals. The delay in getting chat messages is annoying and often leads to misunderstandings. It takes time for support to respond and fix the issue we report.

Helped us give a better appearance of being on top of the technical world. We did a get a few leads, but not enough for the time needed to maintain the platform for us to keep it. Great if you have a larger staff (staff of 19 with one person available), or if you are willing to invest in the bot and still have someone to maintain as half of their job. Or that is what I found.
Very easy to use. Highly editable. Support has been FANTASTIC. We changed owners and needed to switch things over, they were so helpful in guidance. Great response on our website.
How it had to be constantly watched. I wish it could do some of the following. Integrate with messaging app (like iMessage) We would have loved to have multiple people use this for Sales and Service but it was so expensive to have one more license. It would be nice if there were levels, least expensive one license, next level 5-10 and so on. Options for small businesses to help support them, we only have on person who can barely watch the program(which is why we have discontinued it's use at this time). When that person is constantly watching it great results when they are not, it's barely worth the money we are spending. Would be neat to see if it could integrate with Apple Business Messages

Then for the full ticketing features we wanted, we also added on Help Desk. The software does what we want but the total price added up to more than we initially expected.

Overall, this has solved a huge hole in our business - communication with our customers. We have been using LiveChat for over 4 years, and I wouldn't consider switching to another platform. The customer support we have received from LiveChat has been A+.
LiveChat has been a staple of our business for many, many years. We continue to use this software on a daily basis to stay connected with our customers whether we are in the office or away. When in the office, we stay logged into LiveChat to easily chat with our customers to help them navigate our site or answer any questions they may have. When away, we utilize the software to allow our customers to message their questions. You have the option of setting all the notification settings tailored to your communication style with your customers. And, you can easily add, change or delete employee/users from your account. Additionally, you can set different levels of access based on these employees.
The price is a bit heftier then other competitors. Pricing is based on number of users to the account. Besides this, I have never experienced something I didn't like with the software.

Livechat is good, and user interface is very intuitive. They also have ticket system, canned responses, and apps that we can add to their system, free or paid. Price is good, however it needs to increase the speed, response for loading pages/features.
Livechat is a good option, they also offer ticket system, apps as Knowledge Base that can have internal or public knowledge base that can be shared with clients. User interface is really easy to use, no need for training, very intuitive.
Too slow, if your demand is high, and you have more than 200 clients waiting on queue the system can get stuck, if you have less clients it should be ok to use.

I like the simplicity of the Livechat interface ,and this is a major factor while I adopted the program as my startups customer chat solution. It is affordable, which is very cheap when compared with the enormous benefits we have gotten from this program over the last one year. I like the Livechat customer support department. The support team have continuously served my startup very well. We get responses to our queries instantly via chat messages and the support team also forwards us periodic write-ups guiding us on newer ways we can use Livechat ,to grow our business. I am provided with daily and periodic stats and metrics which easen the process of measuring the performance of my customer care team.
Livechat is just the real deal. However I am not overly impressed with its mobile app,I will like to see a better improved mobile app. which will remove the need of always having to access Livechat from a desktop or laptop computer to make major changes or customization.We should be able to do everything from the mobile app.

Overall the experience has been good, this tool helps us to handle the customers in a fast and effective way, it makes our jobs easier and optimized while providing the customers with more than a channel to get to us, while allowing my coworkers the best options to assist the customers.
I like the fact that LiveChat provides me a fast communication with our customers. I also like the fact that LiveChat provides all the tools needed to develop and manage our business as a company. It is very easy for customers to reach out to us directly since it goes very well with social media platforms, making it easier to handle the customer's inquiries and concerns.
While LiveChat works nice as a work desk for our LOB, it is a bit expensive compared to its competitors, since we have encountered issues while receiving the chats where there is a little bit of lag, and also the fact that the number of agents that we can have logged in is limited. We have encountered some other delays when reporting errors/issues to the support team.

Livechat provides us with a simplified and low-resource cost way to engage our customers enquiries across multiple sales channels. Livechat ensure that our sales team is always a click away from potential customers.
Livechat daily data summary notifications are crucial to having a snapshot idea of the day to day performance of my team , as regards responding to customers enquiries across our product mobile applications and every social media platform where we use Livechat , as our helpdesk solution. The data summary sent by Livechat provides information like the total number of chats our agents attended to over the past 24 hour period, the number of missed chats , percentage of satisfied and dis-satisfied customers etc
There is no feature that I will like to see, that Livechat does not already provide. For myself and my team , I think we are happy with the quality that we have been able to extract from Livechat.

We use Livechat to communicate with customers and sales prospects, not only on our website but also on all major messaging platforms.
Livechat has excelled significantly in its integration with vital third-party software tools utilized in our workplace. It is currently integrated with WhatsApp, Zoom, Twitter, and Facebook Messenger. Integrating WhatsApp with all the aforementioned software has enabled our customers to communicate with us directly from any of these platforms. As a result, we can easily elevate chat messaging with a customer to a video call, enhancing our chances of closing more sales.
Regarding any potential areas where Livechat may have shortcomings, I am unable to identify any at present. From my perspective, it is more than just a customer chat tool. As a department, Livechat has exceeded our expectations by providing us with exceptional value.

This tool has helped us to meet the demands of our customers in record time, being able to respond to their requests through different channels such as live chat. The different integrations that allows other software, makes it a very complete software to have a fluid communication with customers. This software has allowed us to improve communication with our clients, it allows us to be aware of their needs in real time. Its learning curve is very low, which allowed us to get the most out of it in the shortest time possible. Undoubtedly highly recommended.
I like the chat that we can use on our website, responding in real time to customer requests and questions. The software is very easy to use and very intuitive. Its reports are quite complete, with all the relevant information of incidents and reports.
Although it is a plus that it has a mobile application, the truth is that it lacks many of the functions that its web version has, which makes it impossible for me to use it in the same way as if it were on the computer, with all its functions and tools. We had a hard time installing the software and making it work 100%.

Timely response to the visitors, good notification alerts, generation of form submission in non-working hours. Good interface and user-friendly.
It has a very simple installation, it won't take a long time to integrate with the website. You can set automatically triggered messages with a test to visitors, you can customize it by setting different field so that it responds timely. In case of now working hours, it allows visitors to set a form submission which helps our team to reply them back at the earliest. It gives a view from which location the visitor is chatting. So that we can assign the chat to the right team member. It has a good notification alert, we can enable voice message every time we receive a text from a visitor. Which is cool. The archives help us to check the history of the past chats so that we don't miss out any details.
Live Chat has a good interface and functionality. However, it is a bit expensive.

I found it to be an excellent and very useful application for customer service and super easy to embed in a website or e-commerce without having to have super technical knowledge. Just place the plugin or the code generated by it in the desired area and that's it. It has many options for customization of appearance and language, as well as automation of responses. Time and satisfied customers are saved, as agility and speed in service is essential to retain customers.
It's not a cheap application. In order to get the minimum return from it regarding reports, it is necessary to invest in the TEAM plan. Now if it is a robust e-commerce and has commercial service organized in an exclusive department, I recommend the BUSINESS.
