Overall Satisfaction with LiveAgent

LiveAgent is one of the best customer support platforms that I have ever used for customer support purposes. I have actually dealt with a few other ones and I'd state that LiveAgent stands out with and easy to utilize interface, a lot of beneficial functions and a stunningly easy to use and user-friendly design. The system has all the essential functions in order to offer the full customer care options to our clients. What's more, it all is done in a smooth and beautiful as well as in a handy and convenient way. LiveAgent in the organization is used throughout the 4 different departments and it's the core customer service platform for end-user inquiries. From the first day of its implementation, I have never faced any issue while extensively using it in daily operations and in conjunction with other departments.
  • Extensive Functionality - LiveAgent has basically EVERY single function whatever might be needed for the customer care department in order to deliver high-quality support services. Its extensive functionality helps us manage daily support inquiries without any complications.
  • Social Media Integration - One of the most beneficial functions of LiveAgent is the social media integration. Before implementing this system, I personally had to go through our Facebook page (150K+ followers) and answer all technical related inquiries or questions. You can imagine the massive amount of each post/comment. With LiveAgents' smooth Facebook integration, each of the posts or comments are fetched as a ticket in the system, thus, it saves me tons of time to answer them in one place.
  • Live Chat - Another useful feature which comes with the package is Live Chat, which was really easy to implement on our websites. Moreover, it is easy to use and monitor with the notifications for the agents, including all the statistics related to it.
  • A clean and user-friendly interface is another benefit of this system. It is designed in a neat way [so as] not to miss any ticket.
  • Extensive Reporting System - One of the best functions of LiveAgent is its ability to provide detailed reports basically about anything - agents, live chat, the performance of departments, etc. You can even see how much time a user spent viewing the ticket. This is utterly useful for improving the customer service level.
  • Very responsive and supportive support team of LiveAgent. They are basically available through email as well as, what's more handy, through live chat. Professional and helpful guys.
  • One of those few concerns I have about the system is its lazy scrolling through the tickets. In case you have more than 50 tickets, once you scroll down to go to the bottom of the tickets, it seems that the system is fetching those tickets from the database, thus, taking around a second or two (sometimes) to update the ticket list. The same thing will happen if you scroll up from the bottom at the same time. This would be good to get fixed and make it all listed as a normal list, thus, it would not take some time while scrolling through tickets.
  • The price of the license to get the LiveAgent installed on our servers is really high. If it was a bit lower, I could suggest my company buy it, however, I assume it is unreasonably high and might be good to decrease the price.
  • Highly increased the effectiveness of customer service departments.
  • Drastically decreased first-time response time to end-users.
  • Sped up the internal communications of departments regarding customer service matters.
LiveAgent will surely meet any of your customer service department's need. There is no doubt about that. However, please note that if you are a [startup] company, it might be a bit pricey. As you increase the quantity of the agents, the price is also increased, thus, consider this. Otherwise, if you are fast-growing small or medium-sized company, LiveAgent might be your number one choice for customer service needs.
