VP, Service Center & Digital Banking Manager at Newburyport Bank
Great video conferencing, in-chat calling, and document sharing
I would give LinkLive a perfect ten out of ten rating. Despite being on a month-to-month contract, we could have easily switched to another provider. However, doing so would have been more expensive and time-consuming due to the simplicity and reliability of LinkLive's system. Their system's exceptional redundancy ensures consistent uptime, minimizing disruptions and downtime. LinkLive has recently been expanded from its initial implementation in the service center to encompass the entire company. Additionally, due to our merger with another financial institution, LinkLive is now being utilized by both entities. Before I joined the company, our organization had engaged a consultant to identify suitable customer engagement solutions. At that time, I was not particularly keen on LinkLive as they were not a widely recognized name. I favored more established options like Genesys and Five9. Consequently, I was initially skeptical of LinkLive. When we first adopted LinkLive, their technology was not yet fully mature. However, over the past few years, they have transformed into a completely different company. They have made significant investments in technological advancements and have emerged as a frontrunner in the industry. Moreover, LinkLive is exceptionally collaborative. We regularly provide suggestions, and their engineers are always receptive to our feedback and are willing to implement enhancement requests. Many of the enhancements they have made are based on our recommendations. As a result, LinkLive has evolved into a highly progressive technology company, and we are proud to be associated with them. LinkLive requires maintenance when we add or remove people. We are working on an enhancement with them to automate this process, making it the same as for phone numbers. This enhancement will cover permissions, call routing, and other relevant aspects. LinkLive may not have the same brand recognition as some of its competitors, but the value it offers is unmatched. The chat functionality is far superior to anything else on the market, and the sound quality is exceptional. Additionally, the people at LinkLive are passionate about technological innovation and committed to providing their customers with the best possible experience.

Has improved performance through real-time reporting and streamlined campaign workflows
Some parts of the dashboard could be easier to navigate for new users, and integration with CRM and analytics tools without needing external connections would be beneficial. The setup could also be simpler, especially for smaller teams. Simpler initial integration would ease deployment for teams without IT expertise. Improvements in documentation are crucial to help new users start faster. Enhanced support with quicker response times and a built-in community for questions would be beneficial. More monitoring dashboards, alerts, and visualization forms such as tutorial videos would also improve user experience. Improving the onboarding process and dashboard visualization, along with interactive tutorials based on AWS performance or campaign metrics, would also benefit new users.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"More customers are getting taken care of, and that means we are seeing customer satisfaction."
"It's very reliable and we haven't had much experience with any downtime or dropped calls, which, of course, is one of the most important things to us. That's been a big win for us."
"LinkLive gives us a central location for our communication channels and that is very important. I can go back and see if someone has a complaint. Although our users are spread out, everything, all the conversations, is housed in one place. I can keep up with the conversations. The interface works wonderfully."
"Within two months from a business standpoint, it was a slam dunk success."
"The presentation of calls within the applications used to access conference call forwarding is straightforward and user-friendly."
"One of the primary features we use it for is the Agent Connect screen-sharing feature. I find it invaluable when troubleshooting customer problems with online banking. It saves us time, and time is money."
"Our agents find the authenticated session feature to be the most helpful. It can take 30 to 45 seconds to verify someone with verifying questions through digital banking, and we didn't have the capability of verifying questions through digital banking before LinkLive. This feature allowed us to work in partnership with our digital banking provider, who can see that a customer is within an authenticated digital banking session. They do not need to ask verifying questions again to ensure that the person is who they say they are. That is one of the nicest things for us, and especially for our agents."
"Being the president of our organization, I love the secured email because there are a lot of messages that I have to send out that are secure. There have not been any issues with sending the messages or with individuals receiving and viewing them."
"The efficiency and quick setup benefited my project as it saved time because there were no complex tools needed to be installed and just a simple UI to go in and log in as a master user and then we can provide access to our agents."
"I have seen substantial return on investment from automating calls and data processing on EC2, saving approximately 10 to 15 hours per campaign and significantly increasing efficiency."
 

Cons

"Our agents have made some requests for some automated responses and some ways that they could improve the way those get pushed out."
"They could provide faster response times, but they got everything resolved."
"On the back-office side, it houses email addresses for when you look at the agent hunt groups. I can't use my work email address in my own online banking account because it messes up whether I'm an employee or a customer."
"In our experience, the areas where there could be improvement are training, staff adoption, and getting the staff comfortable with utilizing the complexities of LinkLive, such as screen sharing."
"I would like to see more video conferencing, some degree of mobile apps, and artificial intelligence. That's the wave of the future with healthcare. Our providers are all on-the-go, so anything that allows them to remain mobile and not have to go to a desk to take a phone call, would be a good addition."
"The notifications for incoming chats could be a little more obvious. Our organization doesn't have a call center, so we don't have someone sitting at the computer waiting for a chat to come in. They're busy with other work."
"In our experience, the areas where there could be improvement are training, staff adoption, and getting the staff comfortable with utilizing the complexities of LinkLive, such as screen sharing."
"The onboarding process could be enhanced by providing comprehensive training to all users, not just administrators."
"The initial setup of EC2 instances and configuring the system felt complex for smaller teams without dedicated IT personnel."
"I have not seen a return on investment and I'm not privy to that data, but it's primarily about expanding reach."
"The user interface and navigation could be simplified for new users, as some find it complex compared to competing platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have been very comfortable with the pricing. We are a smaller financial institution so pricing is always a factor. We feel that we are just getting a ton of value for what we are spending."
"The pricing is fair."
"You definitely get more bang for the money with LinkLive.You can get a more expensive product that does what this one does, and possibly more, but for the cost, it works perfectly with our core system."
"The pricing is exceptionally competitive, and the value we receive from LinkLive for the cost is a significant advantage."
"In terms of cost, LinkLive was similar to other products. I find it reasonable. Its features, for the cost, were a better deal comparatively speaking."
