What differentiates LiveAgent from other similar products?

We have used Zendesk, Zoho Desk, and customized solutions.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It’s a complete ticketing solution with user-friendly accessibility. In addition, you do not need to be a professional technical person in order to configure Live Agent and creating the macros, which is helpful. Moreover, the report which is generated from LA Desk is very detailed and helps us to track down employees' progress and productivity.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There is no such thing which we don't like about LA, however, there is always room for betterment, What we are expecting from LA; 1. When a response is given in against the ticket via a tag (e.g. #verified) then the status should be automatically updated in the Magento through a LA Desk as well. Order status modification must be linked together in order to ensure more productivity in less time. 3. SMS Integration should also be cover in the LA feature.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The functionality this package offers is mind-blowing for our needs as medium-sized businesses! It was very easy to link my social media accounts, emails and set up a chat support system that shows up on my website and allows me to help my customers through a web browser or through my iPhone from anywhere in the world. I’m impressed!

What differentiates LiveAgent from other similar products?

We manage support for different societies, so we wanted a multi-client ticketing system - which LIve Agent provides. I've not compared other solutions recently, but at the time we purchased, I was happy with the monthly fee and feature set. Now I'm familar with the software I'm very happy to continue using it.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Postponing tickets. This is useful for keeping track of tickets I've responded to but need to check the user understood the solution and it worked for the.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The UX is a bit dated, however, I've found the "Dark" panel theme to work the best for me.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's a mature, reliable product. Although they could improve the chat themes, you can do a lot in the software - including managing support tickets for multiple clients with customised e-signatures.

Pros

Reliable
Saves Time
Respectful

Cons

Slower Product Innovation
