The way Technology is expanding, Elite can be utilized and integrated into any environment as long as it keeps pace with the merging needs. I strongly recommend that there needs to be more innovation within the product to bring it back to where it was in the past.

LiveAgent is great for companies that want to help customers with their issues. It is also great for getting sales for our company. During our chats, if a customer is interested, we like to ask for the sale. It is too easy for the customers to say no. So it is nice that with LiveAgent, they have an automatic process where the customer can enter their item and address information and it is easy for our agents to get the sale.

Pros
Avaya
  • I think the reporting cause Elite does really good with reporting related to CMS and with the proper to-left knee programming. It performs well from a routing perspective. It will identify where the call needs to be routed to and it will cure it to that group pretty effectively. We've also found it to be relatively stable. You don't hear a lot of incidents about Call Center Elite going down. Sometimes it might be a database that might be having an issue or something else, but you never hear the call center has gone down or we can't route calls. You normally don't hear that. So it's been relatively stable.

  • Having the ability to transfer tickets or chats has proven useful when we are working with a customer who has a specific type of inquiry - perhaps a sales question or an employment request. We’ve found it helpful to have the ability to transfer the chat to the online agent best equipped to answer the inquiry so we are able to serve our customers to the highest standard and with an immediate response.
  • We find being able to add notes and labels to previous chats and tickets incredibly helpful in data collection and also in our ability to work as a dynamic team. By being able to sort our chats and tickets into an organized system that our company created, we can work cohesively to review old conversations for continuity, opportunities for growth, and with transparency between departments.

Cons
Avaya
  • I do feel that their support definitely needs a room for improvement. There is not a lot and I say that as in from the technology support side of it is the support definitely needs to be a lot better and that's because if we're running into troubles or issues, there's not a lot of help outside of when we go to Avaya to help fix it. We get a little down a bumpy road trying to get that fixed. The last time I was here, I worked up there.

  • LA doesn't provide you SMS integration.
  • You cannot divert your phone call from your local carrier to LA agent directly. You need to get a third party number which is way much costly. Also, if you get a third party number to divert your calls from a local carrier to LA, then the callers have to wait more than the usual time in order to get them connected with the Customer Support Team.
  • WhatsApp Integration also unavailable.

The initial setup, onboarding and training is easy. The system provides 2 graphic version of interfaces in black or white default colors. I would appreciate, if there were more. Some of the setup forms are not correctly resized. Overall, I'm always able to find what I am looking for in LiveAgent.

The one time that I contacted the customer support at LiveAgent, they were very quick to help me out and the customer support representative walked me through every thing that I needed to know to set up what I needed. Over all, the support staff at LiveAgent were perfect.

Implementation was quick and when not counting a bug on our website, it took a couple hours. It was mostly done on our end or with the assistance of LiveAgent's live chat support team. We recommend to check out LiveAgent's tutorial videos on their youtube channel or browsing their knowledge base - we've almost always found answers to our queries there.

I've used a C Experience portal, Contact Center Elite for Avaya Symposium, and Symposium Express for other manufacturers. I've used the Cisco solution for the Cisco. I believe the Contact Center Elite is the easiest of all the products for the enterprise industry and it's got the best user feel to be able to integrate it into your phone system

Before making the decision, we evaluated many tools, but none of them met all of our needs or the costs we could bear for them, until we found LiveAgent. The implementation process was super simple and supported by the LiveAgent support team, who are excellent!

Return on Investment
Avaya
  • Once purchased and running, you don't need to worry about it for years.
  • Support price is following the other companies. Price is good.
  • When you need to upgrade it the cost can grow fast as most of the time you need to replace hardware.

  • Less expensive than having multiple individual email accounts.
  • LiveAgent has helped decrease our errors since it's more straightforward than sharing a traditional inbox with multiple team members.
  • Sometimes the emails sent from LiveAgent end up in our customer's spam/junk folder because the auto-generated alpha-numeric ticket looks suspicious.
