Exceptional customer service software

10 /10

What differentiates LiveAgent from other similar products?

It's like a smarter version of my email inbox. I view and answer every Ticket from LiveAgent's universal inbox. A ticket contains the complete stream of chats messages, emails, phone calls and messages from other communication channels.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

LiveAgent automatically sorts our company communication into tickets so I easily find and review the history of every communication between me and the customer any time in the future

What do you dislike most about this product?

I find it a tedious process to change ownership of a ticket to a different department or even an individual agent because I have to configure cascading rules based on the ticket parameter or event

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Puts full customer support in your hands with mobile Android or iOS apps so you solve tickets and be more productive even on the road even if you provide support multiple in languages
