A fantastic organizational tool!
Date: Mar 19 2020SummaryAs mentioned above it has really helped to keep our communications organized! We can easily tell who is dealing with each issue and its current status. The rules and tags have also helped us set reminders so that related tasks get done and have helped us track statistics.
PositiveLiveAgent had been a fantastic tool for our small, though fast growing department! The customization is great! We have set up so many automated tags and rules. It has really helped us to organize our communication. As a result of these rules we have increased our productivity in other areas as well as these rules give us reminders so additional steps don't get missed!
The interface is also easy to read and interpret. The use of colour coding allows us to easily identify emails by importance or by tags.
I have only had to contact support once, but when I did they responded quickly and very friendly and easy to communicate with!NegativeThere are a few issues we have encountered while using LiveAgent. One issue is when having an internal conversation the email needs to always be forwarded. It would be nice to be able to reply to internal conversations.

You can also only assign a ticket to one agent. There are times when I want to continue to follow up with a ticket but also want a colleague to be included in the response.Official LiveAgent Response -

Live Agent Has Transformed Our Customer Support System
Date: Mar 18 2020SummaryWe're very happy with Live Agent; it's facilitated better management of customer support items - improved prioritization and a better handle of where each item is at. It's allowed us to serve a growing number of clients better without drastically increasing staff.
Positive- Live Agent is very versatile with lots of automation options to save time and get better service to clients faster
- The tags are a useful way to organize tickets and are very visual as well for those who like to see what's going on.
- It's easy to create a wide variety of views that act as dynamic folders giving a very quick visual insight into what needs attention and where support items are at.
- Excellent customer service from Live AgentNegative- A few handy features are still missing - e.g. replying to individual messages in a ticket; right now you have to forward the message and add each recipient. But we're confident these will come!

LiveAgent User
Date: Aug 19 2020SummaryGreat! We love it at my work. Easy to transfer calls and log all customers information. I highly recommend this to anyone in need.
PositiveThis is my first time using LiveAgent at my new job. We use it daily to log calls and search our customers history. This has been a very easy transition from my old software. The old software was not user friendly and really hard to learn. Live Agent is simple and very reliable. I depend on it daily when weathering through storms with customers.
NegativeThe only Con that I have is sometimes our calls will drop. This could be a connection issue on our end though.

Flexible all in one business solution
Date: Mar 19 2020SummaryReally good and feature packed application that can work well for any business size and is scalable.
Especially if working remotely it allows the call center feel and management of processes.
Their apps make even calls possible on the go and allow you to fully operate virtually. If you're on the fence, I do recommend itPositiveLiveagent is your all in one customer support and customer management platform. Customer tickets, internal communication, employee activity monitoring and call management and routing it does it all and has been quite a time saver.
Even when i'm not as active it's wonderful knowing we're backed by such reliable functionality to keep up going.
Their support is decently fast in their response time and their integrations work well
They have integration with multiple VOIP and call apps which a time saverNegativeIt would be nice to have a few more native integrations and not rely on zapier so much. They're wonderful but it would also be nice to cut out the middleman and have less things that could go wrong.

Also it works well but it'd be nice if the process of connecting an email alias was a bit easier
It would also be nice to be able to export all of an agents data and store it elsewhere if need be (and you have to replace them)Official LiveAgent Response -

Fast and Full of Features!
Date: Mar 19 2020SummaryOur overall experience to date has been excellent. We are seeing greater chat engagement, longer times spent on site and better qualified sales enquiries from these chat conversations. The other critical factor has been our site loading speed has returned to 100/100 as LiveAgent's chat widget does not impact speed - something we found our previous chat provider did negatively.
PositiveSince switching to LiveAgent, we are enjoying far greater chat engagement with visitors to our website along with the critical ability to be able better quality initial sales enquiries. We also have improved site loading speed relative to our previous chat solution.
NegativeOur experience so far has been excellent - the only thing I would recommend is a slightly longer initial free trial period. This would allow more time for thorough testing and evaluation.

PositiveWhen I first implemented liveagent in my company, I thought it was suitable for big companies only. But I gave it a try anyway... and I am surprised at how easy it is to manage the complexity of a ticketing system.

Easy to start
Updated: Jul 10 2020SummaryHighly recommended the customer support, they are always willing to go the extra mile to meet our requests and response immediately.
PositiveIts super fast, highly customizable and has a lot of features. And the price is also strength of LiveAgent. We had search lots of help desk system, like Zendesk, but finally choose LiveAgent.
I can highly recommend LiveAgent to all companies that are looking for great help desk software for relatively low price. The support portal has a lot of information, so in case you would need them, you can find them there. The customer support is also very helpful! :)NegativeSo far so good. It works smoothly. Maybe can improve the design interface.

Customer service great, but waiting for OC3 support for a long time
Date: Jul 09 2020SummaryOverall I'm pleased with LiveAgent, but please, please get an updated module so LiveAgent works with my OpenCart3 websites so I can use LiveAgent to it's full potential.
PositiveThe customer support of LA is great. Quick answers to questions and help if needed. They have helped me with workarounds to get LiveAgent to work on my OpenCart3 website. Having the workaround means I cannot use the full potential of LiveAgent.
NegativeI have been asking for an update for their OpenCart plugin for over a year now. LiveAgent only supports OpenCart2 and I need it to be updated to be suitable for OpenCart3. That's a real bummer.

Great live chat, easy to setup and affordable
Date: Mar 19 2020SummaryOverall, we are loving LiveAgent and we're working on implementing more and more of the features available to help us save even more time.
PositiveLiveAgent is very simple to setup and get using right away. The live chat feature, alone, has saved us lots of time. Instead of booking "consultations" to ask us a simple question about a blog post - website visitors are now simply chatting with us.
NegativeSome of the more advanced features are a bit tricky to setup, but the LiveAgent support team quickly helps through the process.

Great product with excellent support team
Date: Nov 10 2020SummaryGreat product with excellent support team. Recommended for any size of business. Helpful team who made our bespoke form integration much easier to set up.
PositiveAutomated ticket assignment on bespoke forms. User controls, roles and departments. Auto assigning of tickets where possible has allowed us to cut back on manual assigning across the business.
Negativewe're currently using over 35 ticket licences. If I want to add 5 live chat accounts, I would have to upgrade all 35 accounts. Different types of licences on the same overall account would be a nice touch.

Excellent service providing everything we need in customer support

- It is really simple and effective and a perfect all-in-one solution
- The ability to transfer tickets or chats
- The ability to add notes and labels to previous chats and ticketsNegativeNo major issues that I can think of. It is a bit robust, but it's because all the features, so not a big deal.

Best Live Chat Sofware
Date: Mar 18 2020SummaryGreat experience, with awesome support. It is a good tool to reduce the time solving customer tickets and providing them with easy to use ways to contact you.
PositiveLiveAgent has a wide range of features:
- live chat, probably one of the most widely used
- email ticketing, it's really cool, because you get to see contact requests and inquiries from multiple platforms in one single dashboard
- knowledge base - you can use it to reduce the time needed to solve those tickets
Plus a bunch of other features and integrations, whit platforms such as Wordpress, Google Analytics, Mailchimp, Zapier, etcNegativeCan't say there is anything I dislike about this software.
