LiveChat serves as a customer service platform with live chat support, help desk and web analytics functionalities, with the goal of allowing users to provide 24/7 support to customers. The core feature of the software is its chat tool, where both service and sales team can answer customers' questions in real time. Online businesses can interact with customers on their website, to be more accessible. With LiveChat, users can identify people on the website and engage them…
When comparing against other chat bot providers, we found the Bold360 user interface to be more user friendly on both the setup and customer facing sides.
Userlike was a live-chat-only product, which we replaced with Bold360 because of the additional possibility of a pre-activated bot. When using live chat only, Userlike is as good as Bold360.
Each is unique in [its] own way but we wanted something powerful and easy for the people performing day-to-day tasks within it. We didn't want to always have to rely on IT to not only develop but also maintain the solution and therefore adding an unnecessary dependency on the …
Bold360 is flexible, fairly easy to integrate, and very much aimed at customer service, which made it an ideal fit. Many other vendors don't have the customer-facing functionality of Bold360.
I used LivePerson in my previous company. It was the same as BoldChat in terms of being a standalone chat application. But when I started using Bold360, for the very first time I felt I'd found a tool that made chat a really good channel for communications.
We went with Bold360 because it fit our needs best, the cost was right, and the ease of use and implementation looked better to all of us than the competition. The web team knew of Bold360 by reputation. I liked the ease of use and the low time investment from an admin point …
Boldchat has a lot more options thus making Boldchat more complicated to use than Bold360. But since Bold360 is a simpler system, it cannot do all the things that Boldchat can use. That is why we have not stopped using Boldchat. Our lesser experienced and part-time reps use the …
Ihelp was used prior to Bold360. Prior to Bold360 Frontier Communications utilized Bold for the past 2 years. Frontier Communications was a test center for Bold 360 December 2018 and were rewarded by being able to test and provide feedback prior to 360 activations. Management …

Chose Genesys DX (discontinued)
We used Orcale prior to switching to the BoldChat Desktop Application Operator Client and then to Bold360. I have no other experience and can say that the BoldChat Desktop Application Operator Client although was tough to get used to, has become a comprehensive tool which I …
Zendesk was selected after Bold360 for another segment of our websites. At the moment when we evaluated chat providers we had some basic chat needs/functions:
Reliability
Custom design options for chat windows/chat buttons
There are many other options available on the market and of course they are all competing against each other, however, LiveChat really shines more than the others due its simple user interface and the real-time typing that your user is doing on his side, we can easily see the …
Overall very similar in design, but LiveChat had a better interface, better reporting and analytic tools, better mobile support, and just an easier overall feel. The two products are very much alike in the vast majority of ways, but I ended up preferring this product overall. …
Ease of setup and use is very light and delightful on LiveChat. Quality of support provided by them is amazing. Admins can easily work on newly added features and functionality. Gives almost everything I need. Pleasurable in terms of doing business with them. This software is …
I haven't use ZenDesk in a few years so I can't remember any pros or cons there, they were both pretty easy to use from what I recall, but we just so happen to use LiveChat now because of the user interface and instant reports. Maybe, set-up for ZenDesk was easier.
We have also used WhatsApp Business, however this proved not to be as user friendly and we experienced several glitches and lost chats. However, WhatsApp Business does allow clients to contact us directly from a mobile app they are already likely to have and allows clients to …
This is the only job I have used a LiveChat type of program for customer service. The other employers I have worked for used phones or face to face contact in order to assist customers in the daily workplace. I believe the company chose to use LiveChat because of its efficiency …
Transfer chats from one agent to another. It also supports agent groups, where users can easily select the department they want to talk to. Shows basic information, such as country, IP address and visited pages.
These products don't load on the user's own web site and aren't as easy to use as LiveChat. We've been happy with Livechat and really haven't explored other options that much because it just works well. I wish there was a free open source product that worked well that we could …

Chose LiveChat
It is the first time that we've used a program of this type. Actually the result has been positive. It is very difficult to identify a problem, when the experience has been positive. We believe that this type of chat platform has the strength of contact with customers. That …
The software allowed us to leverage additional Sales Team activity from our web traffic - letting us increase engagement with customers and drive additional sales. The chat routing functions allowed me to segment traffic on particular pages to relevant parts of the sales team. …
We only compare the utility for the business that is to say better for us at this time to address the concerns of our customer. According to this, the management will decide to brainstorm with the staff in charge of implementing or managing the chat. The personal responded and …
LiveChat is specifically a help desk tool and it does a good job around this niche market. Intercom tries to be a sales, help desk and marketing tool and isn't top-notch in any of these markets. LiveChat provides more support agent styled features than Intercom.
While userlike is now free, (it wasn't free when we used it), we had issues with navigating around this program as it's user interface wasn't self explanatory, and they didn't provide as much support resources like videos and article which Livechat provides.
Livechat had an easy to understand user interface; unlike User like whose user interface takes a while to get around.Livechat provides better analytics too.
The relationship building with the entire team at LMI from Sales, to the Account Manager to our Customer Relationship manager and their product Bold360 was excellent. They were always willing to listen to different ideas and try to make them work for us
We needed a mechanism in place to make contact with visitors to our website easier. What we discovered is that it's an excellent tool for creating reports and dashboards that show how soon issues are handled. Our website can now be updated in real-time, and all of our internal teams are really excited to use this fantastic technology. I really recommend [LiveChat] to many friends and past colleagues.
LiveChat has an easy to navigate UI. Most of the tabs you need are on the left and self explanatory.
If the team itself has any issues with the software, there is a small help tab on the bottom right for immediate tech support. Not sure if it is 24/7 but quick response.
There is also a "Reports" tab that makes it easy for the management department to keep track of tickets answered and task to assign.
Reporting capabilities. I think the dashboard and reporting tool could contain more details in terms of what data is visible and available to the user/administrator.
Native mobile applications to provide added support.
Improving the beta testing program to use new features before understanding whether the update can be pushed out without causing issues with the end-user.
Price point is a little on the high side, making it difficult for some small businesses to justify.
When monitoring chats from a manager standpoint, there seems to be an inherent delay; it does not appear to be instantaneous.
Very minor, but the chat widget sound options can be annoying, and wish there were more available options in order to allow employees to differentiate their own sessions if their desks are near one another.
Day-to-day use of Bold360 AI (chatbot) use (reviewing new questions, adding new responses, tagging, etc.) is fairly simple, but utilizing more advanced features and custom channeling, etc. typically require escalation to developers and may require additional costs if you want help to implement
The Bold360 team has been supportive throughout the process. My reason for providing the 8 rating is due to the training curriculum. I believe Bold should work closely with the client to determine what training would best support the customer's needs.
The only issues I have had with LiveChat are the technical glitches within the program. These are not common as in everyday occurrences but when the glitches do happen they tend to have very negative repercussions. This is due to chats with customers being dropped, this may be an internal server issue though and may not happen for everyone.
Each is unique in [its] own way but we wanted something powerful and easy for the people performing day-to-day tasks within it. We didn't want to always have to rely on IT to not only develop but also maintain the solution and therefore adding an unnecessary dependency on the opportunity the platform can provide to its users. We also wanted a native live chat platform within it, rather [than] further customization to integrate with another solution provider.
We had to move away from Intercom as it changed it pricing model and the pricing that it came to us with was out of our budget. LiveChat gave us a better product at a lesser price. Intercom did not provide us with chat support for the plan we were on - at times we had to wait 24 hours for a reply to a query on their chat. Livechat literally has chat support at all times. This really helped me with my Implemetation.
Considerable saving on ticket deflection so return on investment
Saved on extra support engineer recruitment through self service
Enabled support engineers to concentrate on more complex customer issues as simple and semi-complex issues are generally dealt with through self service--so better quality of service for customers
As I mentioned before, LiveChat can be used to evaluate the quality of the service provided by your employees.
LiveChat can ease the work done by your Customer Care team. In addition, it is very easy and fast to learn how to work with LiveChat, so you would need less time to train your new customer care specialists.
You can have much better customer care service and your clients will be much more satisfied.
