Keeping track of time and generating reports is the biggest perk. In the past, we were flying blind, but now it only takes a few minutes to identify which divisions are overburdened and straining. Live chat has helped us speed up our responses to consumers.

Pros

We find the LiveAgent's ticketing system and knowledge base to be particularly useful due to the high volume of inquiries we receive. Our team members share tickets fairly, and they may communicate with one another to offer quick support. Self-service options are now available, allowing us to give support around the clock.

Cons

The Only little issue I've had with LiveAgent is the way it indents replies to emails by using a >. This is something I can live with, and the benefits certainly exceed the drawbacks.

Response from QualityUnit

Hey Stely,

We appreciate your feedback. It's great to hear how much our ticketing system has positively impacted your workflow, especially with your high volume of inquiries.

It's all about helping your team communicate efficiently and providing quick support. Happy to know our self-service options are providing round-the-clock assistance to your business.

Thanks for recommending us!

Rather good, I have tested several tools and this one has the best quality/cost ratio. I would like to extend my trial period to make a demo to my colleagues and to my financial direction at the beginning of September, if possible.

Pros

There is no time or storage space limits on the tickets
The cost is affordable
The servers can be in Europe and the system is RGPD-compliant
The integration with Zimbra is also a plus (although I could not test it in the free trial)

Cons

In case the student sends an email to me instead of the support address, I would like to forward it to the support address and to see a ticket associated to the student (not to me). When I forward a message to the support address, this automatically creates a ticket (this a good) but I have to manually re-assign the [sensitive content hidden] to the original expeditor. It would be better if LiveAgent automatically assigned the ticket to the original expeditor.

Alternatives Considered

Eudonet and Zendesk Suite

Reasons for Switching to LiveAgent

LiveAgent suffices for our needs and we cannot afford more expensive products

Response from QualityUnit

Hi Carole, Glad to hear you find LiveAgent affordable with no storage limits. Regarding your feedback on ticket reassignment, it's noted. We recommend setting forwarding rules to automatically route emails correctly. For extending your trial, please contact our support team directly so we can assist you.

Our business is also small but on the other hand we generally need to connect with our customers on a daily basis and it become a very hectic task for our support team to deal with every problem which in day to day basis after installing livechat in our business the effectiveness of customer support has been improved alot and we are also able to save a lot of time.

Pros

Live agent is one of the most advanced chatbot tool which help our business to connect with our customers through chats, phone calls and other sources. It works online and it's interfaces is also quite simple and easy to navigate and learn as we have been using this from more than 2 years now. So, it has definitely helped us in laying off lots of physical customer support from the organisation.

Cons

I did not find anything which did not directly helped in growth of our company it is just that the software is quite premium in terms investment which it asks from companies on the other hand it also provides lots of chatting options and customer connectivity features in the organisation but it may not be a great tool for small companies or local businesses.
