User Testimonials
	Provide Support Live Chat	eDesk
Likelihood to Recommend	Provide Support Live Chat Provide Support Live Chat is a very user friendly tool. It allows my Customer Service Team to perform their daily duties and easily access live chats when needed. It's really great because we can ask for contact information so we can research questions if needed and then reply back in a timely manner. Our customers and potential customers can always have access to a live person. Incentivized KG Kimberly Graham Operations Manager Read full review	eDesk Great for companies that sell on marketplaces and want to merge all of their communications. It saves our customer service agents tons of time, and it also connects easily with ChannelAdvisor. It would not be appropriate for a company that does not sell on marketplaces. Incentivized ES Erika Snow Marketing Manager Read full review
Pros	Provide Support Live Chat Incoming chat notifications Easy to add additional operators to the room Easy to see information of the person you are chatting with Chat transcripts are automatically emailed Incentivized TR Tim Regas General Manager Read full review	eDesk Easy to use for customers Maintains marketplace standards for communication Is the only platform that offers these services Connects with Channel Advisor Incentivized ES Erika Snow Marketing Manager Read full review
Cons	Provide Support Live Chat Does not allow us to flag a particular 'consumer' as a scammer. Incentivized KG Kimberly Graham Operations Manager Read full review	eDesk I wish the filters displayed closer to the top of the inbox vs the bottom The new and to-do tabs can be confusing at first Agents must take ownership once in the message; it is not auto-assigned when you click into a message, so there is room for duplication.

Support Rating	Provide Support Live Chat They are there when I need them. Incentivized Steven Woodall General Manager Read full review	eDesk No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Provide Support Live Chat We elected to continue with Provide Support Live Chat because it was more economical compared to Salesforce's option. While Salesforce contained more integration options, we did not see the need to dramatically increase our costs just to have direct integration with Salesforce records and accounts. We haven't evaluated other options since we are happy with Provide Support Live Chat. Incentivized TR Tim Regas General Manager Read full review	eDesk They were not even close to offering what xSellco has and the ease of using the platform. eDesk by xSellco is a great price point, is very easy to use, and it also integrates with ChannelAdvisor and Big Commerce, which was a determining factor for us. It also is an Amazon partner and ensures that they are adhering to all of the strict communication rules Amazon has. Incentivized ES Erika Snow Marketing Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	Provide Support Live Chat I was not a part of the business decision to start using Provide Support Live Chat. I have been with the company for 6 years and I can say it is well worth it. Incentivized KG Kimberly Graham Operations Manager Read full review	eDesk Saves agents lots of time Creates better communication with customer with less time in between messages Helps us provide great customer service Has helped us meet marketplace communication standards and receive more feedback/reviews Incentivized ES Erika Snow Marketing Manager Read full review
