Considered Both Products	Chaport No answer on this topic	Olark Verified User Anonymous Chose Olark I actually have not utilized any other products similar to Olark at this point in my career. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Vivian Vassar Owner 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Olark We have only used Olark, due to the pricing and ease of use. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Olark Olark is more user friendly and very affordable for our purpose of use. Incentivized Helpful? Quinton Myers Director Of Support 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 It feels outdated compared to most of them.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, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Olark I have not used other chat software Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Olark Olark is on another level, but still not the optimal product - it's on its way. Incentivized Helpful? Lindsay Bytof Customer Service Agent 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. Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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. Incentivized Helpful? Allison Carlson Customer Support Manager 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Olark I actually haven't tried out any similar products at this time, unfortunately. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Chaport	Olark
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	If you want to have the option to chat on your company website and keep track of those chats, the customer's satisfaction, your employees' capabilities and the repetition of certain inquiries, Olark can truly help your business. We have 4 employees at any given time dedicated to our chat function during business hours. After hours if offers the option to send our customer service team an email with your question on your behalf. Everyone wins. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Its ease of use and simple design is a huge plus. Their customer support is top notch. They have always been super responsive and helpful. Past chats are stored and easy to search. It's easy to customize to fit the look and feel of your website. Incentivized Adam Montgomery Energy Efficiency Consultant Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	It is simply easy and customizable to be exactly what you need it to be Incentivized NW Nicole Whitten Account Manager Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	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 Incentivized Vivian Vassar Owner Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	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 liked how it fit on the screen of the website - easy to see but not intrusive Incentivized Vivian Vassar Owner Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Positive impact on employee payroll. We would have to hire at least 1 or 2 more employees if we no longer offered Live Chat support. I don't believe that Olark had any negative impacts on the business. We simply outgrew the platform. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
