Allows us to save automated answers to the most popular customer queries
In the past, we used help desk programs which did not do much to increase our sales funnel. All that changed with LiveChat. We are able to create a knowledge base, create tickets, and allow agents to collaborate on creating tickets, thereby improving the correspondence time and the quality of feedback that we provide to customers.

A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface
The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I majorly love the ticket and knowledge base features, which allow us to save automated answers to the most popular customer queries."
"It truly does what I need it to do and anything else I would say, I would be making it up."
"Since we started to use LC we managed to increase our customer satisfaction level, increase sales and most important thing to speed up our interaction with our customers because it's all in real time."
"We can attribute most of our high ticket sales to this software."
"Through the capabilities of LiveChat we are able to fully customise each live chat implementation to suit the goals of our clients."
"Customer Service: Top notch! The support team is available all the time and have been able to solve all our questions instantly."
"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."
"This is really easy solution to scale up and get get going to add new catalog items."
"The solution is a highly mature product. Because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
"The most valuable features for me are scalable architecture, customization potential where the UI, background, and data movement allow you to tailor to the nitty gritty details of what you might need in your environment, and advanced workflow management."
"It's quite a complete entry into the SaaS ITSM market with a reasonable price point."
"It’s provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, and it’s good on a day-to-day and macro perspective."
"Essential service management solution all in one, like 100- for service request, 200- for change request, 300- for incidents, 400- for problems."
"It provides us with a very easy and flexible UI for CA Nimsoft Service Desk 7."
 

Cons

"I'd like to be able to create teams and filter the reports by team, in addition to the ability to currently filter by group, date, agent, tag etc."
"There have been times where Live Chat's servers have had DDOS attacks and have made communication difficult."
"The service needs to be more popular than it currently is."
"Actually this product and its limitations reduced the Service Desk effectiveness compared to the product we were using."
"I think they could update some of the interface. It doesn't look as pretty as some of the other ones."
"It loses points because it’s not GUI enough, too code-y."
"Usability for IT analysts could be improved."
"Few probes need improvement in their function and the way they get deployed for monitoring."
"We had a lot of issues with non-Windows servers during implementation."
"This is not appropriate for a small or even a medium-sized business. Too much overhead for a small company."
"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
