We needed a mechanism in place to make contact with visitors to our website easier. What we discovered is that it's an excellent tool for creating reports and dashboards that show how soon issues are handled. Our website can now be updated in real-time, and all of our internal teams are really excited to use this fantastic technology. I really recommend [LiveChat] to many friends and past colleagues.

It's extremely easy to install and set up. The visual customization is thorough (brand colors etc.). There is lots of help documentation. There is an iOS and Android app for users on the go and built in integrations with CRMs as well as other third-party applications, along with a Zapier API which can connect to virtually any other third-party application.

Pros
  • LiveChat has an easy to navigate UI. Most of the tabs you need are on the left and self explanatory.
  • If the team itself has any issues with the software, there is a small help tab on the bottom right for immediate tech support. Not sure if it is 24/7 but quick response.
  • There is also a "Reports" tab that makes it easy for the management department to keep track of tickets answered and task to assign.

  • Very intuitive interface and management.
  • Scalable plans that don't require me to purchase features I don't need.
  • Super simple chat bot administration.

Cons
  • Price point is a little on the high side, making it difficult for some small businesses to justify.
  • When monitoring chats from a manager standpoint, there seems to be an inherent delay; it does not appear to be instantaneous.
  • Very minor, but the chat widget sound options can be annoying, and wish there were more available options in order to allow employees to differentiate their own sessions if their desks are near one another.

  • Unable to ban visitors by site referrer (spam sites)
  • Chatbot conditional logic could be a bit simpler/cleaner
  • Occasional issues with the desktop app (in browser never gives us trouble though)

Support Rating
The only issues I have had with LiveChat are the technical glitches within the program. These are not common as in everyday occurrences but when the glitches do happen they tend to have very negative repercussions. This is due to chats with customers being dropped, this may be an internal server issue though and may not happen for everyone.

We had to move away from Intercom as it changed it pricing model and the pricing that it came to us with was out of our budget. LiveChat gave us a better product at a lesser price. Intercom did not provide us with chat support for the plan we were on - at times we had to wait 24 hours for a reply to a query on their chat. Livechat literally has chat support at all times. This really helped me with my Implemetation.

While HubSpot focuses on all marketing/sales/lead gen efforts, Tidio is a more specialized product.
