Easily Increase Customer Satisfaction and Engagement! Fast and Powerful Live Chat
Comments: LiveChat is a great tool for customer service. It allows customers to quickly and easily get answers to their questions or provide feedback, all while having the convenience of being in their own homes. The chat feature makes it easy to talk with representatives who are knowledgeable and ready to help solve any issue that arises. Many companies also offer additional features such as file sharing, automated responses, and canned messages which make communicating even easier. LiveChat's customer satisfaction ratings are quite high due to its ease of use and helpfulness when it comes to resolving issues quickly. Additionally, I find that the reporting capabilities offered by LiveChat allow me to keep track of trends in my customer base since I can see how many people have used the chat feature during certain time frames. All in all, LiveChat is an excellent tool for providing fast and efficient customer service without sacrificing quality or professionalism.
Pros:
LiveChat is a powerful tool for businesses of all sizes looking to improve their customer service and sales performance. It allows companies to communicate with customers in real-time via chat, increasing responsiveness and efficiency while also providing valuable insights into customer needs and preferences. LiveChat can be used to provide helpful solutions quickly, handle complaints promptly, answer inquiries around the clock even when no one is available at the office, or upsell products through personalized recommendations. With features like automated messages, canned responses and proactive invitations to chat, LiveChat empowers businesses to offer superior service that leaves customers feeling heard and valued.
Cons:
LiveChat is its ability to connect with third-party applications like CRM systems which gives you better insights into customer behavior as well as providing in-depth analytics about their interactions with your brand across multiple channels such as livechat conversations, emails, SMS etc., helping inform future strategies.

I can quickly respond to consumer inquiries via LiveChat
Comments: We recently used Livechat's Twilio and Calendly integrations to send messages to consumers' mobile phones and organize sales appointments. Everything described up to this point can be executed without ever leaving the Livechat interface.
Pros:
Among the several software programs I've used, Livechat has the most robust integration features. By incorporating third-party apps into our regular Livechat sessions, we have been able to enrich our interactions with the service.
Cons:
Because it goes above and beyond what I'd expect from helpdesk software, LiveChat has all the features I could want for my staff.

Maybe the best Live help integration!
Pros:
The feature that I like the most is that it can be integrated into the sites. The best live chat integration I have used on my own sites works both on wordpress and on a site made from scratch and it works very well for me. And let me add that it's customizable, I think it's one of its best features, and it's also a tool without the need for a purchase. Many features are offered to you for free.
Cons:
I don't think it had any shortcomings, because it was not a good thing that it could not be added to a complete integration only mobile applications, maybe there is, but I couldn't find it, but that's it.

It's simple and fast, so I can contact my teammates right away
Comments: 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.
Pros:
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.
Cons:
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.

Comments: My overall experience with this software is that it is great and it also very easy to use and manage.
Pros:
What I liked most about this software is that you can go back and see all of the chats you have had in the past.
Cons:
What I liked least about this software is that if you you get too many chats it is a little hard to keep track which chat is which sometimes.

Livechat bridges the gap between us and our customers.
Comments: We deployed Livechat to enable my company provide reliable support to our customers. Livechat enables our support department , to be wherever our customers are.
Pros:
I cherish Livechat's ticketing system the most. With Livechat's ticket, I get the opportunity to collaborate on a customers support query with as many of my colleagues as possible , while retaining all collaboration and communication efforts with my colleagues, within the Livechat software. I can assign tags to tickets , to enable me recognize them much later and I can also group resolved tickets together to enable us spot trends or identify common customer service issues.
Cons:
Livechat is one of those few software products I use , with whom I have had no reason to be displeasured. This is an helpdesk software that has simply gotten better every other year.

24/7 Customer Service to resolve issues real time in minutes
Comments: Perfect tool to manage real time customer queries and get them sorted. It make it easy to integrate with various channels and assign the agents in peak hours without any delay in response which improve the customer engagements and effectively increase productivity.
Pros:
Successfully onboard real time problems to resolve with Live chat. It make possible directly to reach out the customer service support team to interact and communicate them for any assistance or issue. Even it can increase the customer engagement by having the real time queries and allow to track potential pitfalls we need to stay away from during the time spent speaking with our clients.
Cons:
Pricing model can be considered or can be added more features like adding more agents as it has limited one and also there is a confusion to set up the chat bot with same Timezone.

Excellent Software For Your Website
Comments: The experience that i encountered with this software has been superb, it has helped our company turn live visitors into qualified prospective clients, in this day and age instant customer service and support are essential for any business. We use live chat in combination with other software to complete the next steps in our prospect conversion and follow through.
Pros:
I like how easy it is to deploy the software on my website and the customization ability that it provides to me. One can customize everything from the chat design the colors and the pop ups the visitor will see. There is availability to custom design it to go with your websites design. The software has availability for multiple users, and 3rd party app integration enabling us to take our prospective client from start to closing in our sales process
Cons:
The only feature id like to be able to remove is the live chat link at the bottom of our chat pop up. Other than that everything is superb.

Easy to use and also offers ticket system
Comments: 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.
Pros:
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.
Cons:
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.

LiveChatInc Review
Comments:
We are a 3rd party company using LiveChatInc app as our platform to serve our industry, and its been great. I tried several others, and there were functions I liked, but in the end, we came back to LiveChat because of their ease of use, support, and some unique capabilities other chat companies didn't have. There are a couple of important changes we would love to see to make it more customizable, but overall, I would recommend it highly.
I've tested at least 4 of the "top" live chat apps out there … and we came back to this one, as it was the best overall.
Pros:
First of all the Support team is very friendly and helpful. This is key and they have always tried their best to help, and were open to my feedback on improvements that could be made. It is very easy to use, very intuitive. Has some unique features I've not found in other live chat apps (example: auto greetings to customers are personal, and come specifically from one of my live chat experts. Other platforms I've used, it sends a generic auto invite, and the customer has to ACCEPT to chat, before they are connected with an agent. We have compared, and this one feature makes our take rate (customer engages in a chat) much higher, due to it being a personal invitation by one of our reps.
Cons:
The biggest one is the inability to customize Visitors window for our staff. An older version (which we still have to use) used to allow you to set up specific columns of info on each visitor. This way you could see how many times they visited, were invited, refused, etc… without having to click on each visitor to see this info. If you have a lot of visitors it is impossible to click on each of them in a timely manner and know whether to engage in a conversation. This is a big one that needs updated soon. It has taken a long while to have auto invites work properly on all mobile platforms (iPad, iPhone, tablets, etc). It still isn't possible on all, but on most devices now, customers will get a pop up if you send an invitation to chat. Wish you could set up a second Auto Invite (ie. at 1 minute into the visit, an auto greeting is sent … if declined, at 4 minutes, a second one is sent). Unfortunately, not possible. When you send a personal invite, it classifies it as a CHAT, even if the customer doesn't chat with you. So the archives get filled with "blank chats" that you have to leaf through. All of that said, besides the first one, it is still the best live chat app out there, in my opinion. Fingers crossed the Visitor view options will be changed back soon, to allow it to be more customizable for customers.

Apps for everyone!
Comments: 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.
Pros:
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.
Cons:
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.

LiveChat is Great!
Comments: We've been using LiveChat for almost 2 years now. It's been so helpful to see who's on our site when they are actually there and to be able to help them when they need it (which keeps them from straying)! We are an incorporation services provider and people often have lots of questions when they are searching for a provider in this field. Though we have the answers to most of those questions on our site, people often want to clarify or they may feel lost when ordering. Having LiveChat makes it easier for our potential clients to reach out to us without having to leave our site or even to pick up the phone. Instant gratification! Thanks to LiveChat, we've been able to quickly convert those people with questions into clients.
Pros:
Visitor data is so very helpful for us. When a client has an issue while ordering, it helps us to know what browser they are using. It is also quite helpful for us to know where they are connecting from (country or state) as this can determine what kinds of services they need. Also included with the visitor data are the IP, and the pages visited (and for how long they stayed on those pages). This lets us know about where the visitor decided to leave and what they were looking for...and if we feel the need, we can offer to chat with them (rather than waiting for them to start one with us). LiveChat also makes a verbal announcement when we get a visitor to the site, informing us as to whether they are "new" or "returning" visitors. There is also a verbal announcement when someone initiates a chat ("incoming chat"). The ticket feature is also helpful. When the office is closed or if the technician is away from their desk, the clients can leave a message for us to follow-up later.
Cons:
It would be very helpful if the visitor data were logged and saved for reporting purposes via LiveChat. This historical data might prove useful to us when making changes to our site. It would be nice if the incoming chat would also pop-up a separate window. Sometimes I have my volume down or off when I am on the phone and I've almost missed chats that way.

Perfect Way to Instantly Talk to Your Customers
Comments: LiveChat is a great way to help customers in realtime making you very accesible to customers helping to grow your business and client base. Definitely a great tool for any small business.
Pros:
Having looked at many Chat programs we found the best was LiveChat. You don't have to be at your computer all day waiting to see if a chat is coming in because with LiveChat you can download the app and chat with your customers on the go. Utilizing and setting up the chat is very simple and easy to use. You can do it yourself if you have some knowledge of setting up your website or you can have your webhost do it for you by simply dropping in a simple code. You will be up and running in minutes. You can customize your logo if you wish and it is easy to communicate. Adds the touch of helping customers out if they need direction or information.
Cons:
There are a couple of cons that we have run into with LiveChat. Recently this problem has been better but from time to time you will not get instant notification if you are relying on the app to use for chatting. The only downside is if the delay is too long you may miss the opportunity to chat with the customer. The other issue we have seen is that the customer can leave a message but you don't really get notification all the time if a message was left so you are on your own to make sure to check for a message.

Great software just wish it integrated with messaging software for easier time maintaining response
Comments: 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.
Pros:
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.
Cons:
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

LiveChat
Comments: 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.
Pros:
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.
Cons:
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 is essential for our operations.
Comments: 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.
Pros:
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
Cons:
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.

With LiveChat we can serve our customers in real time
Comments: 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.
Pros:
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.
Cons:
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%.

Stay in touch with customers
Comments: We are able to include LiveChat on certain pages of our website to get the best customer interaction. Our representatives like using LC because it is easy and there are never any issues. Customers have never complained about our LC function and use it often to ask questions. We love it!
Pros:
Live Chat is super easy to use and our reps have no complaints. We have had a great experience with our customers as well and implementing it onto our website. Customers can easily speak to a real person through chat and get a fast response. We can see what customers are typing so we can prepare to answer quickly and with enough time to provide the best answer.
Cons:
I do not like the stock photos included. It's not a big deal since we use real photos of our staff, but for those who want to use a stock photo - many of them look too fake and almost uninviting. Not a huge deal breaker obviously, as the product itself is great, but in case you have to use this feature.
Emilia
The most feature packed support solution.
Pros:
Setting up Livechat is as simple as copying the Livechat html code provided to new users during the signup process and pasting into the html section of your website code and you are good to go. Livechat is the most feature packed helpdesk support solution out there .It integrates with the most popular CRM solutions out there like Salesforce and Microsoft dynamics. I like how every chat conversation between support agents and web visitors are archived for future referencing. The sneak peek feature puts support agents one step ahead of website visitors ,by letting them see real life what a visitor is typing ; even before it is sent.
Cons:
I dislike how basic the Livechat mobile app. is ,only allowing chat conversations between agents and website visitors. Also we are unable to delete message archives ,except we contact Livechat and they delete it from their end.

Livechat contributes to our mission of making our customers happier.
Comments: Livechat makes us as a company, more accessible to our customers. By integrating Livechat with platforms like Whatsapp and Facebook, our customers are provided with different options, with which they can reach out to us.
Pros:
Livechat is intuitive on all platforms and has fantastic integrations with video conferencing , sms automation and file storage tools used in my company. The feature I like the most about Livechat though is the sneak peek feature, which allows us to see everything being typed by the customer on the chat bar, before they click send. Being able to see a customer as they type, allows better anticipation of the question and also provides more time to craft a response.
Cons:
Livechat is among the very few tools I use at work, of which I have got no complaints about. It provides more than we need to engage customers through chatting.

Amazing customer service via LiveChat!
Comments: We have this tool integrated with our CRMs for internal support for our employees. Although our primary CRM does support live chat, we still use this tool since it has better build quality and stability. We also deploy it for our clients to enable chat features for their end-user support.
Pros:
1. Plenty of integrations are available: Almost any CRM can be integrated and it also can be integrated with Office 365, therefore, makes is available across tools. 2. Blazing fast chat service: can be achieved by links for end users. Document sharing and screen-share is also possible for trobleshooting and fixing issues.
Cons:
This is a very lightweight tool which is only focued on live chat. No major issues that we have found in this tool. It is pretty solid, offers all the required features and has the capability to support large-scale industries as well.
