Featured Reviews

Sitanshu Kumar Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides predefined content, the ability to measure KPIs, and a reliable way for customer conversations
The auto feature where if there are five chats and one of them goes down or a customer leaves the conversation, a new chat automatically pops up with the next customer available on the line is valuable. It also monitors the KPIs such as your CSAT, your time of conversation, etc. All the KPIs are mentioned on the first row of the screen. This is the second feature that I love about LivePerson. It has some predefined content. You can click on that, and it will be sent to the customer. Instead of typing a complete statement, you can use this predefined content.

Flexible, stable, and allows for faster delivery of support
We would like to have auto-templates for TT closure and TT updates. This will save time in writing the acknowledgment. Templates can be added and edited, thus saving the agent time when on the ticket. I believe that this will contribute to the agent's knowledge, once coming across new ways of customer writing templates.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"LivePerson's technical support team is good since they are quick to solve the issues we face with the platform in our company."
"LivePerson has been really useful for us. For example, there are several features, such as predefined content and rating information, that are more client-oriented."
"The auto feature where if there are five chats and one of them goes down or a customer leaves the conversation, a new chat automatically pops up with the next customer available on the line is valuable."
"We like the mobile application, which allows us to provide a faster response to the customer."
 

Cons

"In my current organization, we have faced the problem of not having very detailed instructions. For example, if you need to integrate this application with SSO, you need to enter some specific information. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find detailed instructions on what exactly needs to be entered in the specified fields."
"They should add an auto-correction tool. If we are writing the wrong word, it should show or type the right word that we want to convey to the customer. This feature is currently not available."
"During the peak times last year, my company observed some downtime in the solution, which had become common with LivePerson."
"We would like to have auto-templates for TT closure and TT updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not aware of the pricing, but I have seen it not only being used in India. It is also being used in a lot of other countries such as the Philippines and Jamaica. So, I would assume that it is affordable."
