Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I love Liveagent's simple and intuitive interface; that's what I appreciate most about it. Anyone, regardless of their level of experience, can quickly learn how to use Liveagent, and I find the automation options simple and easy to implement. It's great that it keeps tickets, knowledge base, and reports in one place and eliminates the need to switch between tools to complete the same task.
  • LiveAgent is ideal for what we use it for. It offers a robust ticketing system with tons of options and features that make responding very easy. The user interface is simple and easy to customize. The shortcuts for filters, reminders, and tasks are great. The auto-hiding option ensures confidentiality. LiveAgent offers expert support, including a cloud integration system for increased security.
  • LiveAgent has consistently served us well. It has enhanced our chat communication capabilities through a fantastic service bot that we connect to all our social media pages and easily configure to engage and interact with visitors. LiveAgent is great for speeding up access to customer service representatives and enabling customers to easily book and track tickets. I loved its accurate archiving and easy-to-search records.
  • LiveAgent stands out for its remarkably fast deployment and user-friendly setup process. Another key strength is its excellent customer support team, which provides reliable and prompt assistance whenever needed.
  • LiveAgent provides us with the best communication with our customers, especially through live chat, integrated with automated response features that are easy to set up to suit our customers' needs. What's great about service bots is that they can provide accurate answers to incoming inquiries. I loved how the customer was able to reach a service representative with ease. It's also great that the service representative receives real-time notifications about the incoming ticket, reducing wait times.

Cons

  • Liveagent is more than great and easy to connect with social media and communication channels for ticket management and customer chat, but I haven't been able to understand the advanced customization to save more time and manage tickets and service bots more effectively.
  • No negatives. I'm happy and confident using LiveAgent. LiveAgent didn't seem overwhelming, and we were able to get used to it quickly. Setting up with support was very quick.
  • LiveAgent is great, easy to set up, has no negative effects, and efficiently supports all the languages ​​our customers use.
  • One limitation is the restricted functionality with WhatsApp Business API. The current integration lacks the flexibility needed for LiveAgent’s internal automation tools to fully leverage WhatsApp for proactive communication.
  • I haven't found any downsides to LiveAgent. I loved how easy it was to install the LiveAgent code on our website and social media pages.
