Live2Support vs. Zoho SalesIQ

Using LiveChat for the type of company I work for (inside sales - remote) is wonderful. Since we are not seeing our clients face to face, the chat feature on our website is amazing for helping assist others.

The only time it becomes a hassle is when the current client/chatter wants a direct call from the person they are chatting with. We try not to double dip in being logged into both the phone and chat at the same time, but we typically are able to resolve the issue without any pains.

This is being used to make it easier for our sales staff to add leads and follow up with them. Our sales team has found it considerably easier to maintain track of leads generated by this service because of the connectivity with CRM. We wanted to learn more about our customers' habits. This work is made incredibly simple and straightforward to accomplish with SalesIQ. It makes a big difference to chat with and engage with customers at the correct time without being aggressive.

• Making it easier to find archived chats (having the option for just one's self)
• Color scheme changes - maybe some darker colors, not as bright/whites
• A different way of transferring to dept's and not just giving a direct transfer option as the first option.

Incentivized

• Overall it's a very simple tool that doesn't offer a lot of complexity or expanded tools
• Even though it's all in the Zoho family, it doesn't work seemlessly with CRM or other Zoho products
• Not always the best at identifying similar users across different browsers, devices, etc

They all serve different purposes but LiveChat is the only platform that's actually just for chatting rather than for communication amongst remote employees. All systems work together though and for that, our teams run smoothly and communication is amazing!

The option of the desktop application was a missing feature on both of the previously used tools, including having applications for Windows, Linux, as well as MACOS. Having a separate application for the chat agents from the main CRM application was a key missing feature as it was combined with the complete CRMs tools being used earlier. Website visitors' live and history activity on our website was missing on the tools being used earlier by our Customer Success teams.

Incentivized

• Helps us keep up with our current customers and resolve their issues ASAP
• Allows for new sales to come through easily. Makes it easier to explain the product and show as we go along.
• API's allow for a ticket to be created with each chat (into our CRM) and allows us to keep track of the chatters throughout the day and log any information we may have missed.

Incentivized

• It has significantly reduced the number of phone calls and emails we used to get. Chat is more convenient for our users. It also means we can provide support with fewer agents as a single agent can work on multiple chats (unlike phone support).
• Ability to catch and engage with new users that are potential leads has also improved our overall sales program.
• Letting admin take over chat seamlessly without a transfer lets us provide a better quality support experience to our more important users.
