Likelihood to Recommend I travel a lot and this makes Contivio easy to use, all I need is a good WIFI connection and I am good to interact with the clients anytime/anywhere. The flexibility of not running out the options to get the business running is amazing. The only thing that bothers me is that you may not realize that you're not logged in as you cannot see when the phone logs you out of the application, this also means you might loose out on a running call or the call may not get recorded.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Pros It's great for call center setups It's nice to have the ability to use the desk phone or a soft phone It syncs to Salesforce and logs my calls under the appropriate account, which is incredibly helpful. Read full review 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. Read full review Cons Sometimes it needs multiple tries to sign in and this has been troublesome At times I have missed call records and it bugs when you really need to listen to the call for details If I am barged into a colleague's call no one else can barge in until I get off that call. This can be a problem when there are mentees who need to learn from these conversations Read full review 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. Read full review Likelihood to Renew I am happy with the application. Contivio is very easy to use, and I hardly ever run into problems so easy to give a decent rating!

It gives you the possibility to manage any of your clients issues, answer questions and keep a good relationship with them by providing quick solutions.
Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Implementation Rating 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.

Read full review 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!
Read full review Return on Investment Contivio auto-logs my calls to my Salesforce accounts, which makes my job much easier and quicker It's provided a uniform system for our entire company It isn't very user friendly, so the transition to Contivio was very rough Read full review 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. Read full review ScreenShots
