LiveEngage is great for analytics and ease of visual design.
- The Design Studio is easy to use for configuring the visual details of chat invitations.
- They have integrated Bots, which can be used with or without human agents.
- Their Analytics Builder lets you fully customize your reporting, and not be stuck with predefined reports.
Cons
- Building the chat engagements and campaigns can be confusing with the multiple levels of configurations (target audience, entry point, behavior), which can cause the need for an overhaul on overall planning. e.g. Instead of 1 campaign with 10 engagements, it might need to be 5 campaigns with 2 engagements each.
- The audit trail feature is quite limited. This could affect compliance, and more often affect the ability to find out "who did what" in situations where something got misconfigured.
- Presenting chat invitations can only be based on schedules, not based on whether agents are actually available. This is more problematic with smaller user groups.
