Chose LiveAgent
I did a demo with Zendesk which was fine, but the customer service and system for LiveAgent was a better choice for me. The demo with LiveAgent was wonderful and very informational, any concerns were answered immediately, extremely accommodating with the free trial, better …
Chose LiveAgent
Bold360 worked for our basic purposes but it was pretty bare bones. It didn't give us the option to get sales or to translate from Spanish to English and it made things a bit more difficult. LiveAgent has the features that we needed and it has many of the similar options that …
Chose LiveAgent
Night and Day, Zendesk is very very basic, We also faced multiple technical and connection issues when using zendesk which resulted in loss of customers due to the chat randomly disconnecting now this is a thing of the past thanks to LiveAgent, the connection is always stable …
Chose LiveAgent
I haven’t used any other software
Chose LiveAgent
LiveAgent was way easier to configure and setup initially and was more customizable (branding, signatures, directory, notifications, etc.).

Chose LiveAgent
We have 5 brands and had to have different solutions for these. But with LiveAgent we could use 1 software to operate all brands!
Chose LiveAgent
We use 3PL as well as LiveAgent to complete our daily work. Using them together seems to be a good combination for what we need the programs to do.
Chose LiveAgent
We have used some other systems for a very brief period of time but they did not offer us the specific functions we needed.
Chose LiveAgent
I hated Zendesk we used them for 2 years and found them very unreliable and [unprofessional]. The system was laggy, bugged and beyond basic. It is nowhere near as good as LiveAgent and I am over the moon that we found them and decided to make the switch.
Chose LiveAgent
After testing a few web-based CRM I found LiveAgent to be the overall best. Manage email, chat and calls plus respond to social media posts and messages.
Chose LiveAgent
The price that LiveAgent has is just outstanding even with the features and helps us save money rather than spending loads of cash on other systems. It has also helped us better support our customers.
Chose LiveAgent
LiveAgent is much easier and it's well designed to keep great work organization. Separate boxes provide a great view so one is aware of what every single member of the team is working on.
Chose LiveAgent
LiveAgent is clearer and offers all forms of communication in one app.
Chose LiveAgent
Ability to call chat and email from the same spot.
Chose LiveAgent
LiveAgent is much more complete and all the channels are available at the same place. The way customers get an answer is friendlier than Zendesk.
Overall, LiveAgent is much more user friendly and simple to understand. It has knowledge base section.
Chose LiveAgent

My initial experience with LiveAgent was when the company I work for, Bus2alps, was reviewing an assortment of chatting platforms to use. My responsibility was to compare and contrast various features of them all and select the one which we would implement on our website to …

It is a simple process: Go to the campaign tab and click on the campaign you are joining, and here, review the questions and suggested script to guide your conversation, remembering, of course, that the most important thing is to be yourself through this software and the window that will mark the progress so join the campaign at this point do not hang up now you are controlling the communication through this software you can leave the campaign and fill with a smile the answers you get from users.

I think [LiveAgent] is great from a customer service perspective, though I don't know that I would recommend it for B2B purposes. It has so many features that are fantastic as far as creating a great customer experience goes, I just think it is far more geared toward B2C than B2B.

Cons
  • Using new software is frustrating at first, but worth the effort.
  • It's a little weird at first, but it saves you time and the frustration of dialing the wrong number.
  • If it doesn't sometimes work, simply press the update button until you see the phone number you want to answer.

  • Occasionally when "resolving" a ticket, the page will not load the full list of remaining tickets. However, the moment you scroll, the tickets appear so it's not too big of a deal, but I'd like to see that cleaned up. It does not always happen.
  • When dialing a phone number, the format needs to be specific, i.e. +15125555555. We often receive phone numbers in the more traditional format, i.e. (512) 555-5555. The outgoing call will not work when pasted this way. I think it will get fixed. These little things seem to get sorted out after enough people complain about it.
  • The mobile version has a few bugs, but when on the run, it at least allows you to read and respond to email. Examples of bugs include not being able to transfer the ticket to another department (on iOS the drop down menu functions like a text field for some reason so clicking into it selects the text as if you are going to copy and paste it). Also, the ability to add an admin note would be nice on the mobile version.

Usability

The initial setup, onboarding and training is easy. The system provides 2 graphic version of interfaces in black or white default colors. I would appreciate, if there were more. Some of the setup forms are not correctly resized. Overall, I'm always able to find what I am looking for in LiveAgent.

The one time that I contacted the customer support at LiveAgent, they were very quick to help me out and the customer support representative walked me through every thing that I needed to know to set up what I needed. Over all, the support staff at LiveAgent were perfect.

Implementation was quick and when not counting a bug on our website, it took a couple hours. It was mostly done on our end or with the assistance of LiveAgent's live chat support team. We recommend to check out LiveAgent's tutorial videos on their youtube channel or browsing their knowledge base - we've almost always found answers to our queries there.

Return on Investment
  • For all calls, you must complete at least the first question you are asked in the survey so that we know what type of connection.
  • You can leave a voice message, and a pre-recorded message will play on your answering machine or service when the call is saved.
  • If you get a signal compromised or problem you can hang up once you are in the software which makes it quick and easy.

  • We are generating more sales by having sales representatives online chatting with customers.
  • The customer service team is able to avoid answering the same guest on a number of platforms (ie. when a guest emails in, fills out a "contact form," and chats with a representative in live time in the span of ten minutes) because LiveAgent enables us to have all of our communication in one platform.
