Pure Chat by RubySmartsupp
Likelihood to Recommend
Pure Chat gives you basic functions to chat with customers online. They are also working on chatbots but we haven't them tried yet. Their analytics and reporting are ok - our sales manager isn't impressed.

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.

Cons
  • Transcripts that could generate in a PDF or Word doc rather than .txt file, option would be nice

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.

Alternatives Considered
Most chat products are pretty similar in terms of functionality, it comes down to price and function. I've reviewed Olark and LiveChat when we were searching the marketplace for comparison purposes and both services were very comparable in functionality and pricing however it didn't justify the move from Pure 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.

  • Expanded our ability to increase client contact efficiency
  • Allows us to stay up to date with the ever changing demand of consumers

  • 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
