Considered Both Products	LiveChat JA Joshua Alhat Operations Manager, Sales Chose LiveChat 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. Incentivized Helpful? RP Renan P Technical Support Engineer Chose LiveChat 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 … Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? Tigran Petrosyan Risk Management Specialist Chose LiveChat I have not used other program similar to LiveChat, so it would be hard for me to answer this question. Incentivized Helpful? MD Mark DiNallo Service Director Chose LiveChat 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.

Ashia Ackov Game Producer Chose LiveChat 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. Incentivized Helpful? Cristina Gonzales Senior Manager Customer Care Chose LiveChat LiveChat is very similar to LiveAgent Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose LiveChat 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 … Incentivized Helpful? MP Michelle Penix Member Advocate Chose LiveChat This is the only job I have used a LiveChat type of program for customer service.

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. Incentivized Helpful? Jason Shindler Director Of Technology Chose LiveChat These products don't load on the user's own web site and aren't as easy to use as LiveChat.

Miguel Brito Dj, Emprendedor y Community Manager en Eventos CAR-YAN Chose LiveChat It is the first time that we've used a program of this type. Actually the result has been positive.

Akinyinka Natasha Adeyinka Business intelligence analyst Chose LiveChat 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. Incentivized Helpful? Abiola Adeniyi Junior Software Developer Chose LiveChat 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.

User Testimonials
	LiveChat	PLEX - Lead Generation
Likelihood to Recommend	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.

Pros	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.

Cons	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.

Support Rating	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.

Alternatives Considered	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. Incentivized JA Joshua Alhat Operations Manager, Sales Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	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. Incentivized Tigran Petrosyan Risk Management Specialist Read full review	No answers on this topic
