Switching to Live Agent really helped our customer experience!
Date: Dec 18 2020SummaryWe switched to LiveAgent from a competing help desk about 6 months ago, and we couldn't be happier. We use the software every day, and we have never had an issue with it. It is a very dependable software — we've never missed an email from a customer (verified through our gmail accounts connected). I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with B2C needs!
PositiveThe overall dependability is great — we've never had an issue with our customer communication being lost. Other features we use every day are tags which help us to keep our tickets organized by category, as well as the knowledge base which is a simple way to offer customers information at their fingertips.
NegativeIt would be nice to have a direct contact when we have questions, though the chat feature on their website has worked fine when we've needed it.

Great affordable ticketing system
Date: Dec 07 2020SummaryValue for money it's the best ticketing system out there. It's not perfect but no ticketing system is really.. for me personally it does the job because it has all the features I need.
PositiveVery affordable, quite easy to set up & use. The tags, rules & time rules are brilliant, once you learn how to use them properly you can easily get statistics, create folders and auto-assign the tickets.
Can also generate leads from facebook & email, and integrate with VOIP phone and you got all the recorded calls on the ticket.
On top of that you can add notes & postpone as much as you like so you don't miss anything.
Price is very affordable for what you're getting.NegativeFor first timers it takes some time to learn how to use it, it's not hard but just require a bit of time and patience.

Great Product - super easy to use
Date: Mar 18 2020SummaryIt's great I really like using LiveAgent for the 4 months that I have been using this product for. This was definitely a great product we got in order to help us organize our workload.
PositiveGreat design on the UI very easy to navigate. The best part of the software is the customizations I can make to it to help me organize my work, on a day to day basis.
NegativeSending emails internally is kinda a pain, currently, I would have to forward the message in order to send emails internally.

Perfect tool with perfect support
Date: Dec 06 2020SummaryVery good software with video-call, without the customer has to install any software or plugin. The support is excellent and normally you don't have to wait a long time until you get an agent.
PositivePerfect service, you can chat with professional support 24/7 without long waiting time. Customer does not need any plugin or software for video-calls. This was for us a big USP.
NegativeOne small thing I don't like, standard tool comes only with 1 admin, if you would like to have 1 agent with limited access you have to pay extra.

LiveAgent: Mission Accomplished. Profit Unlocked
Date: Mar 19 2020SummaryOverall, I believe this is something that should be tried, tested and evaluated by any business that needs all in one customer commutation and satisfaction solution. Chat, helpdesk, forums, knowledgebase can really add up if you get it from different vendors and it's a real pain to herd all these solutions together without losing your mental health. LiveAgent to the rescue.
PositiveOh, where to start. There is a lot to unpack in this one.
Customer service is very important but it's also costly in time and efforts. Being a small business we have limited human resources LiveAgent platforms allows us to take care of our customers and not leave any conversation behind. Customer satisfaction, conversion and retention are growing thanks to LiveAgent helpdesk, chat and knowledgebase functionality.
There is a lot of competition in this space but none as comprehensive and affordable. I sure hope the development will continue indefinitely because changing our support system to anything else is not in our plans.
Let's be clear. There is a LOT of platforms in this space. Cheap and expensive, well known and obscure. It took a lot of time to look through features, reviews and compare everything. What made LIveAgent stood out for us is how comprehensive it's features are and how active they are. LiveAgent eats their own dogs food, replies quickly to messages and is being constantly developed and improved. It's also well reviewed and existed for many years but manages to stay less expensive than any competitor with a comparable feature set.NegativeAndroid app was not very polished last time I used it, I will revisit it soon. The live chat widget is another area I could see receiving more attention. There are at least 4 designs to choose from so you can adapt it to your site but they seem a bit dated and not as immediate as Intercom, for example. But said Intercom lacks half of LiveAgent features and much more expensive.

PositiveFor someone that is not super tech savvy, it is fairly easy to use and adapt. Also enjoy the ticketing inclusive feature.
NegativeThe reports could be a little more enhanced, along with customer service via phone.

A great tool for customer support teams!
Updated: Apr 21 2020SummaryI find the ticketing system easy to use (in comparison with competitor systems I have used in previous jobs, too) and the functionality very effective for managing workload. It allows multiple users to work simultaneously without duplicating work, great visibility in terms of productivity statistics and generally just very simple to work with. It's a great product for the needs of my role. Would recommend!
Positive- the ability to create and add tags; we use these as a 'filter' to prioritise and distribute workload
- the ability to track productivity/number of tickets handled within a shift/other time period
- automation features enabling automatic tagging of tickets based on given criteria; this makes our job much more efficient
- custom plugin features are super helpfulNegativeThe only thing I miss about using regular email over this ticketing system is the 30 second 'undo' feature after sending an email ;)

Excellent Customer Support Tool
Date: Dec 14 2020Summary10/10 experience. We had to switch email software companies since our last one blocked customer replies from getting to us, but LiveAgent has never given us deliverability issues.
PositiveTheir canned messages are easy to set up/use. I like that they offer a way to have a database of help articles that our customers can use. And the ability to tag emails under certain categories has helped us keep better track of certain types of customers.
NegativeThere isn't much I don't like. I think the site design could look a little less boring but that's all.

Perfect for handling support tickets
Date: Mar 17 2020SummaryLiveAgent has allowed me to drop numerous other apps I used to use as all contact with customers and prospects is now handled in one place.
PositiveI subscribed to LiveAgent a couple of years ago, and it now runs all my support tickets and customer service management. That includes interactive (and customisable) chat and message forms on my sites (implemented automatically with a single piece of javasscript). The dashboard is extensive (it certainly has more features than I currently use) but simple. It also hooks up directly with my email, so all customer journeys are now tracked.
NegativeMy only criticism is that the interface might benefit from some graphics, but then again, who needs them? LiveAgent is all about ease of use and function.

PositiveIt offers realtime chat with clients and helps to build a helpful interaction with clients. Very easy to join Queue and chat. It makes responses to support requests very quickly.
NegativeIt worked great for me. Nothing to share about cons.
