Gorgias vs. LiveChat

It has the best Shopify integration we had over 40 Shopify stores and having all of that information on a user's email was extremely helpful. The integrations for 3pls could’ve been better and the reporting left something to be desired. Having a feature like most common topics based on what the users write about rather than what we had to manually tag would be very beneficial.

We needed a mechanism in place to make contact with visitors to our website easier. What we discovered is that it's an excellent tool for creating reports and dashboards that show how soon issues are handled. Our website can now be updated in real-time, and all of our internal teams are really excited to use this fantastic technology. I really recommend [LiveChat] to many friends and past colleagues.

• Tagging- the tagging system was a great way to stay organized.
• Rules- when you have 49 inboxes implementing rules on when to fire a macro or auto tag is necessary and Gorgias’ UI was easy to understand and execute.
• Integrations- I had to integrate with dozens of inboxes many times using aliases and most of the time Gorgias was able to help.

• The most important factor of Livechat is their own chat support, I had many requirement from the Sales Head, Support Head to implement features that I was unsure if the product could do. However, as I did the implementation one by one I constantly used the chat support which helped me step by step all the way.
• The UX of the product is pretty simple and intuitive to use. There are quite a few features that we could easily plug and play. We tried going to the market to find a solution that could help us but they did not have as many out of the box features and simple to use
• Their integration between LiveChat and Chatbot is pretty seamless and since both of them are from the same company, it's works pretty well.

• With that said, sometimes integrations would not work and we would have to create a Gmail alias.
• Their response time was not that quick to errors.
• They did not integrate with platforms such as whiplash or ship station which would have been very useful.

• It has a limited amount of agents, so when you have many customer care employees during one shift it is hard to manage the quantity of active agents.
• When system is overloaded and many customers are waiting in a queue it starts to works slowly (sometimes the program even lags) and you need to refresh the system to write a message.
• Occasionally when you open a new tab, you might lose your current conversation.

The only issues I have had with LiveChat are the technical glitches within the program. These are not common as in everyday occurrences but when the glitches do happen they tend to have very negative repercussions. This is due to chats with customers being dropped, this may be an internal server issue though and may not happen for everyone.

We selected Gorgias from Zendesk based on its Shopify integration. Given how many stores we were managing the team needed to quickly find all of a customer's information in an email. We preferred it to Zendesk. However, now that I use intercom I have many more features such as surveys, topics, extensive reporting, auto tags, and series I prefer intercom for my work now

Overall very similar in design, but LiveChat had a better interface, better reporting and analytic tools, better mobile support, and just an easier overall feel. The two products are very much alike in the vast majority of ways, but I ended up preferring this product overall. Price points were similar as well, as well as the allowed number of users.

• Scales for 25 inboxes to 40
• Handled over 1000 tickets a day quickly with Shopify information easily available.
• Quantified reports for our business partners based on tagging features.

• We have a small team so the overall impact is that it is easy for one or two employees to handle a large number of tickets without hiring more people. Plus, you can use this software remotely, save a ton on traveling to and from and office.
