    Hi Yeovani, thank you for your honest feedback! I believe you are speaking about Post Affiliate Pro, which is one of the two software products that we offer. This page is however for LiveAgent's rating, our second software product. You can maybe have a look at our webpage www.liveagent.com :) Regarding the Post Affiliate Pro and its ease of use, we actually offer full integration to all of our customers so they would not have to spend days on trying to figure out how to set up what they need. Instead, they can just fill out the form they receive after the call with our sales representatives and our technical team can do it all for them as they know Post Affiliate Pro backwards and forwards :) Do not hesitate to reach out to us via call (+421 2 33 456 826)/ chat on our website/ email (support@postaffiliatepro.com) anytime you need help or guidance, please! :)

    Best customer service software that I have used

    Date: Nov 08 2020
    Summary

    I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has an online business because it is easy to use, has a lot of great features and its price is not expensive for what it offers.

    Positive

    I like this software because it makes my customer service advisor job very easy. I can chat with customers, call and respond to tickets from the same page. I also like that each ticket, call, or chat opens in a new tab, making it easier to multi-task.

    Negative

    A couple of minor things that I don't like:
    1. When I reply to a ticket/email the reply has > at the beginning, making it not so easy to read in a string
    2. Having to end a call before being able to make another one

    Worth Making The Effort To Switch

    Date: May 18 2020
    Summary

    Although it took a little time to get used to the new system in the end it was well worth the effort. It's layout and functionality allowed us to clear an outstanding backlog of messages to a far more manageable level.

    Positive

    The ability to leave notes and merge posts was most helpful. Also the system was able to link directly to our own management software giving the ability to access a client's booking or profile with a single click. Also you can see if someone else opens the ticket that you're working on, thus preventing two people answering the same ticket.

    Negative

    The one thing I missed the most from the switch from using Gmail was the ability to cancel a sent e-mail shortly after sending it. Could have saved a few embarrassing moments!

    Hello Robin, thank you very much for your excellent review! I am glad that you think it was worth switching to LiveAgent and that you are using all the features you mentioned in your review, writing notes to make sure that the agents and yourself will remember what needs to be remembered and that you will always have the necessary information at hand for everyone to see, being able to see if any other agent is opening a ticket you are working on and vice versa. Please feel free to reach out to us with any suggestions on future development at support@liveagent.com. We will be happy to pass it on to our developers :)

    LiveAgent review

    Updated: Oct 21 2020
    Summary

    Being new to this type of system I feel that LiveAgent is very user friendly and convenient to us as a customer.

    Positive

    Easy to use, easy to log interactions with customers, easy to tag customer issues, easy to see all older tickets and issues logged.

    Negative

    Generic phone number causing tickets to be logged all the same, reports being pulled for problem reports.

    Hello Rachel, many thanks for your kind feedback! I am excited to hear that you find LiveAgent very user-friendly especially that you mentioned being new to this type of system :) Just know that we are here for you to help you with anything you might need! Just start a chat with us any time 24/7 on our website :) I am also not sure what do you mean by the generic phone numbers causing tickets to be logged all the same. Everything that comes to LiveAgent is considered a ticket, but you can see its source to distinguish whether it was a call, chat, email, query from a social media, etc. :) As I mentioned, feel free to start a chat with us and we'll be happy to guide you through reports and everything else! :)

    Live Agent automation

    Date: Oct 27 2020
    Summary

    Fantastic transition and takeup by staff.
    Only a small bit of training given to them was needed.
    The users were at ease with the interface within the first few minutes.
    The iPad app is a great addition to the product.

    Positive

    Live agent departments makes it easy for our web contact form to automatically assign tickets to the right department, taking the auditing work away from the managers and allowing them time to look after our customers.

    Negative

    When manually selecting a department you are unable to select the users from only the department you select i.e all users are displayed regardless.

    Hello IT support app development team! We are happy to have you with us and I am glad to hear that it was easy for your team to switch to LiveAgent and that you consider it a fantastic transition :) As to the dropdown list showing also names from outside of the department, this is actually a feature so that you could assign a ticket to the whole department and also to somebody out of the department in case they would need to have access to it as well. It was meant to ease things up so that they would not have to be added to a whole department where they would have access to all the tickets :) You know where to find us should you need anything!
