Pros and cons

Great design; Great scalability; Easy integration; Great customer support; Many features and functionalities.
Works, does what it should, integrations like Slack or Pipedrive are still far from being awesome.
Very Easy to use and a perfect Implement in my website. Best and very fast costumer support.
The major problem came suddenly and imperceptibly: the userlike system stopped to send offline messages to our inbox.
The chat feature is about to be retired and replaced by a new feature which is available in beta only for now. That currently makes it a little confusing.
But it was really weird, imagine: the client close the chat widget to continue the navigation or to read something on the page, and when he reopens it - it's a new conversation that starts.

The most amazing user experience of my entire life

Reviewed a year ago

My overall experience has been simply epic, an emotional journey filled with ups and downs, but one that has left an indelible mark on my heart and my business.

Pros

What I liked the most is the way it allowed me to get closer to my clients in an exceptional way. It was like a magic door to seamless communication opened. Being able to have a centralized inbox to interact with my customers through different channels like website, WhatsApp and Facebook was just amazing.

Cons

At times I found the amount of options and features it offered overwhelming. Yes, I know, it may seem strange since I was praising your variety before, but sometimes I felt like I was lost among so many possibilities. It took me a considerable amount of time to learn and familiarize myself with all the features, which could get a bit frustrating at times.

Vendor response

Hi Jose, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for sharing your great experience with Userlike! We appreciate it a lot! We wish you success and have fun chatting!

Review for userlike installation and use in an onlineshop environment

Reviewed 5 years ago

Userlike for me is todays best website chat for webprojects, shops or any website that needs question and answer systems. It really helps to fill the gap between customers who actually buy a product online and which are not ably of calling in.

Pros

I really like that userlike is easy to integrate into an existing web application and offers the possibility to customize its colors so that the general feeling of the shop will not get disturbed.

Cons

It would be nice if userlike scripts would consume less bandwidth. Maybe the sourcecode coould be more optimized for mobile pagespeed.

Forward-Thinking Chatbot made in Germany

Reviewed 5 years ago

We try to reduce the number of repetitive e-mails on how to cash in vouchers. The product is made for helping with just that.

Pros

The interface was very clean and tidy, there were many incentives to start implementing and helping to get started. Usually, that level of user experience is rather only to be seen in the U.S. But in this case, it is made in Germany - with quality made in Germany. I also liked that it combines many web chat streams so that the employee just has to open one interface. That way it is also GDPR compliant as based in Europe - also it is very good for clients who prefer servers in Germany.

Cons

The connectivity of the chatbot to the facebook chat messenger is not yet there. But I understand that it is not just "like that" as many things like GDPR and Facebook, not yet even to start with the technical details are heavy to solve.

Very intuitive and really easy to use. The features are complete and the interface very easy to use.

Reviewed 6 years ago

Many things: provide a quick response to our Clients, our Users, assist them in live, understand their navigation and their needs in real time etc.

Pros

The great ease to configure the widget with a possibility to customize it in Team mode. The simultaneous discussion of 10 chats per operator is very appreciated to be present all the time. The shortcuts and the information in the chat panel are very useful to optimize the discussion.

Cons

Some small ergonomic points in the chat panel (the chat window is not in full page) and the information on the right that opens automatically even if we close them. Missing the ability to recognize the Customers who are connected to their space on our shop, impossible to identify them automatically...

Pros

It's one of the best looking chats on the market. Installation on the website is quite easy and straight forward.

Cons

Any reasonable feature is paid and payment is on the level, that you can easily consider livechat or intercom as alternative. No application for support.

We've just started trying this product and, so far so good! Easy to use, professional, & economical

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Met our needs for an economical, professional looking live-chat. Being able to distinguish user hours based on geography is great! Easy to set-up on the various pages on our website with differing widgets per page was an unexpected surprise. The setup was quite user-friendly and intuitive.

Cons

Would be nice to establish priority on the operators. Right now it appears to be alphabetical. It would be nice to be able to establish who should be first, second, etc. per widget.

I like the easiness of use and integration, they have a great costumer support, and they do support start-ups!. And you can start for free, so you can use their great features: You can add push macros, so you can direct clients to the url where they can find your service; chat macros, so you can save time, and a lot of others features, so you feel like a pro. I really like them. It's a great service to get close to your customers and offer them a better service. As they feel closer to you, you have a better conversion rate, and with its build-in features you'll have a great value for money.

speed in implementation, easy way to use an API like this, a dashboard with good user interface

I liked the interface, as well as the basic and initial configuration of profile and wigets. Also the ease to apply the button in your web page.

Cons

I had a problem integrating with Facebook, since I did not find the ID app, until I noticed that it should be public. I also believe that you should be able to integrate another user that is already registered in an easier way, as well as enable some similar to owner privileges to other operator

Better customer support

Pros

Easy integration, lots of functionality, helps to support me in my business, gives me a lot of insights, easy payment plan

Cons

The "hallo sie sprechen mit...." colour needs to be adjustable already in the team version. Out colour is yellow and by using that, this line is not readable. Screenshot for Operators without customer approval may be violating data privacy rules. Explanation texts are not sufficient enough. Mpre tutorials would be nice. Goals finction needs also to be more customizable e.g. my goal is 5 star ratings for chats not a site visit

Definitely gets the job done, but is pretty hard to navigate

Reviewed 7 years ago

Live chat support! Great way to talk to customers.

Pros

I enjoy the fact that you can manage multiple chats at once, and see what other operators are doing. I also like the push notifications and integrations with HelpScout.

Cons

For some reason the character limit for the "Topic" is really short. Way too many modals. The "my chats" window is a pain in the butt to use. For some reason the chat you click on appears at the bottom of the screen. If you're viewing 100 chats, you have to scroll forever to view the one you clicked on. On top of that, the scrolling breaks down with this (it seems to try and auto scroll, and it gets stuck pretty often). Again, way to many modals / scrollable elements.

We can easily inform, help our customers. also promote sales. Decrease phone calls and emails.

Reviewed 7 years ago

This software let us increase our sales. We can reassure the customer and give him ultimate details about the product. We can unblock a sale that would be stuck in the purchase tunnel by giving good advices. We can also process more faster and sometimes in real time after sale service request. This service transform also customer into caregiver and help us find bugs on our website, but also help us to improve our services. In general phone calls and emails amount decrease seriously.

Pros

I like the chat administration panel, because it's simple to use and efficient. I like the general new design and the pastel colors of the widget chat panel. I like the service speed and the high level of the server availability.

Cons

Impossible to let the customer upload a file or send a file. So to overcome this issue, I use links to my Dropbox. To my mind configuration panel is a bit messy. For example, chat behaviour set up is hidden far in the background of the software. In the other hand, a lot of useless functions are in foreground. For instance, functions used only by big companies are always on first page. It would be clever to offer a configuration panel according the need and/or the kind of customer.

I like that it's an option to use this resource for absolutely free. It's a useful feature and you can engage with a whole set of audience that prefers to chat. There are premium options for those with a good budget that can get even better features. What is nice, is that it allows customers to leave an email for when you are not available to chat and this feature follows the customer to every webpage in a way that does not hinder the customer or website experience.

Sale sIncreasing Chat System

Reviewed 9 years ago

So far we are loving our experience with Userlike. It’s easy to manage and maintain. It has greatly increased our contact with our customers and makes it easy for them to ask us quick questions. Many of our chats end in sales that may not have happened without the chat program. Userlike has a great clean look to it and makes it a simple process for our customers to chat with us.

Pros

It’s great to see the url that customers are looking at during the conversation and to have the live view of what they are typing. It makes it easy to have quick responses to questions and point customers in the right direction.

Cons

There isn’t a phone app available for Userlike which would be really nice for when I’m not sitting at the computer. Their mobile site looks nice, but just not as nice as an app would be. It would also be nice to have the ability to save replies for the most common conversations.
