Chose Olark
I actually have not utilized any other products similar to Olark at this point in my career.
Chose Olark
Our organization just made the switch over to Zendesk and Zendesk Chat less than a month ago, so it is difficult to provide an accurate comparison. I will say though, that Zendesk has more robust reporting and far more options for integration. I am confident that Zendesk Chat …
Chose Olark
We did use Zendesk chat for a short time but switched to Olark when a colleague suggested Olark was simpler. We were looking for a chat solution that was easy to understand and use visually, plus easy to switch between multiple people when taking turns monitoring chat. And we …
Chose Olark
We have only used Olark, due to the pricing and ease of use.
Chose Olark
Olark is more user friendly and very affordable for our purpose of use.
Chose Olark
Olark has an easier implementation process and has better functionality such as the ability to send commands through the platform to either create a ticket in your CRM or push an opportunity to salesforce; you're even able to 'push' the end user to a web page. Implementing …
Chose Olark
Olark really doesn't stand up against these options. It feels outdated compared to most of them. All of the competition offers page breaks, while Olark does not. I don't really understand why they don't have this simple feature. I can only guess that it's a methodology thing, …
Chose Olark
I have not used other chat software
Chose Olark
Olark is on another level, but still not the optimal product - it's on its way.
Chose Olark
I have not used zopim extensively, but my company has been looking into converting to ZenDesk. The one positive difference I did notice with zopim was the ability to easily email a transcript of a chat - and the user has the option to request it independently of the operator.
Chose Olark
I haven't personally evaluated other sites. Olark is the only one I've used and I like it quite a bit. To this point price and ease of use has given me reason to stay and I don't see that changing.
Chose Olark
The main reason was that we had a really hard time integrating the Zendesk chat function into our UI, and once we discovered that Olark would not only integrate seamlessly with our website, but also automatically produce Zendesk support tickets, we were sold.
Chose Olark
I actually haven't tried out any similar products at this time, unfortunately.
REVE Chat
Chose REVE Chat
One of the main reason for switch to REVE Chat was the user friendly interface. It is very easy to use and understand. REVE Chat is all-in-one platform for live chat Support. Better customisable option was one of the reason for switch. Omni channel is the best. I am about to …

The REVE Chat always help me in taking care of the report and analytics. The report of visitor analytics can be viewed on hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly format. This makes my work easy at my office. In the chat history option I was able to download the conversation of my clients which helped me maintaining the archive section.

Cons
  • There is not a way to add a queue. We have guests that get a little impatient when we are very busy. This would allow for the guest to know that we are working on getting to them and not ignoring them.
  • We have experienced outages this past year, and the communication in regards to what is happening is not the best.

I think it's a great feature to be more in touch with a customer base - it saves time, money, and is often extremely effective in terms of answering customer questions and addressing concerns. Although the subject of product renew is not necessarily in my hands, I strongly advocate for the program's future use

Support Rating
I've used the Olark knowledge base and searched online for help on questions I had. The help section is easy to use. I have found most of the answers I need within minutes. Plus their help section has a chat feature in a box on the same level as the answers so when I did need more help it was right there for me. (didn't need to search for it on another part of the page) This box has a link to open a support ticket, twitter link for quick answers, and a systems notice
