Likelihood to Recommend I was strictly the implementor of Livefyre (for my company only). That task alone was at least 3 weeks worth of work. From a user standpoint, Livefyre is a good product which is why this review is strictly about how difficult it was to implement. Therefore, if a colleague was to ask me if I recommend Livefyre, it's not a straight answer. Questions like, 'how fast do you need it?', 'how centralized is your user database?', 'do you want social login?', all come into question and were details that made my job not easy (hence, my review of 5/10 for suggesting it to others). Once implemented, Livefyre is a great product (notice my overall review is higher), but based on my experience with implementation, it certainly requires a senior developer's dedicated time and patience to set up exactly as desired. For smaller companies with small/simple user bases and websites, the process may be more straightforward, but from my experience, it wasn't out-of-the-box at all.
Read full review If you want to generate valuable content that you can use on your website that provides a positive image of your business, Stamped.io can do it. We had absolutely no buyer feedback prior to Stamped.io. We have seen in actual customer reviews that the Stamped.io reviews are being read by customers and they consider them valuable.
Read full review Pros It provides and allows comments and comment management that is fast, seamless and shareable. Having used disquss, WordPress comments and many others I like Livefyre better for its seamless integration and transparency It is really nice that they have a range of services from free to enterprise with increasing functionality and benefits. Read full review Ease of use. Integration with the BigCommerce feedback and review system. A full-featured product suite that will meet the needs of most small to medium-sized eCommerce shops. Read full review Cons Implementation was not easy. Although flexible, I personally wrote at least 1,400 lines of code to get this implemented over a few week's time. The social login aspect is cool, but again, hard to implement. They did not write any of those modules, although they could have. This required senior-level developmental skills and a knowledge of how social media is interfaced with programmatically. Lots of questions arose from this and it was difficult to implement with virtually no help from Livefyre, other than to provide the hooks into their system for when users were validated. I had to write at least 2 separate login/redirection scripts to accomplish this flow. CSS tweaking was tricky. We could override lots of common CSS classes, but to get things just the way we wanted it, I ended up writing LOTS of jQuery listeners and functions to transform the output into exactly what we wanted. This was a surprise since the software was sold to us as being 'fully customizable'. Documentation was sufficient, but not great. Getting the flow of the callbacks that are fired wasn't clear at first, and sometimes did not work as expected. It should be noted that, after this review was published, Livefyre contacted me stating they now have better documentation and process for implementation (for version V3, specifically) and urged me to revise this review. However, I can only write of my experience with V2, and it WAS difficult to implement over 3 weeks of dedicated time. Another developer on my team implemented version V3 and his evaluation is very similar to mine, claiming much difficulty with the CSS customization. Read full review We haven't generated a whole lot of data as of right now, even being in business for two years, so a pain point for me is the analytics and trying to identify improvements. This is not really a deficiency of the software, just a lack of data. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We feel we have a real partnership with Livefyre and we both make each other better. Their customer service has been phenomenal even during a time of rapid growth.
Read full review Usability It's really easy to implement that app but should improve some analytics.
Read full review Support Rating From purchasing to implementation, the customer service/support was really perfect!
Read full review Support is flat out awesome, super responsive and have always addressed my questions quickly and thoroughly.
Read full review Alternatives Considered We felt Livefyre was more innovative and better at SEO. It felt like we were working with a partner for the long haul who was interested in our business and how to improve it.
Read full review The only other service we used that's similar to Stamped.io is Feedback Five. That service is only similar in that it facilitates soliciting feedback. We use it for our marketplace business, not our website. I can say that Stamped.io is much more robust and valuable. The interface is more user-friendly, the campaigns are easy to set up, and working with customers directly in the UI is super simple.
Read full review Return on Investment The heavy work is already done given that we take the time to implement. Very useful insights and AI powered delivery. Read full review Positive increase of over 80% in feedback responses. Trust is everything in our business and user reviews have contributed to a conversion increase of over 50%.
