Provide Support Live Chat is a very user friendly tool. It allows my Customer Service Team to perform their daily duties and easily access live chats when needed. It's really great because we can ask for contact information so we can research questions if needed and then reply back in a timely manner. Our customers and potential customers can always have access to a live person.

Services that require immediacy will be a good match.Also, since it is easy to use with smartphones, it will work well for young people who are used to chat-based communication.The ability to get an immediate response may replace phone-based customer support.I thought it would work well with customer support because it keeps a good history, etc.

Smartsupp fulfills all forms of customer integration that I expect from an application. I have used other solutions before, but they were usually not complete in one product or some of the options were very truncated, probably at an additional cost, which did not necessarily have an attractive effect on the overall offering.

We elected to continue with Provide Support Live Chat because it was more economical compared to Salesforce's option. While Salesforce contained more integration options, we did not see the need to dramatically increase our costs just to have direct integration with Salesforce records and accounts. We haven't evaluated other options since we are happy with Provide Support Live Chat.

Smartsupp is easier to use than Tidio live chat, it has a lot of integrations, mobile application on which you can conversate everywhere. Mobile app is easy to use. Chatbot is doing its job.

Return on Investment
  • I was not a part of the business decision to start using Provide Support Live Chat. I have been with the company for 6 years and I can say it is well worth it.

  • Visitor status needs to show whether they came from "paid" ads. This helps us gage our spending and investment
  • Missed chats due to phone apps error: either not showing up at all, not notifying, or heavy delay
  • People are comfortable with the Chat program and don't mind keeping it open. Makes it easy for us to stay connected with customer
