LiveChat
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.

Pros
LiveChat
  • 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.

Cons
LiveChat
  • 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.

  • I wish we would be able to check ip adresses so we can link the chats so companies before they fill out a contact form

Customer response has been much better.In the past, the conversion rate for our services has been very low, probably due to poor UI/UX.But considering that we were still getting a certain number of conversions, we believe that the demand from users was very strong.With the addition of the chat function, we now have a point of contact with customers who had not converted.

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.

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.

All the features found in other programs in Smartsupp are brought together. In addition, the price offer is attractive, and the multitude of selection of options and possible add-ons is very large and tailored to different thresholds, so everyone should choose an offer perfectly suited to their needs. I haven't had the need to use support, so it's hard for me to judge, but the very fact that I haven't had to do so probably speaks well for it.

  • 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.
