Then I read about LiveChat + HelpDesk and thought I would give it a try. the LiveChat notifications work on every message, I was also able to transform a conversation into a ticket when the chat ended with a workflow automation that worked the first time\! > > **Cons**: the workflow automations were an obscure checkbox on the my user profile to enable beta features and the AI chat bot didn't help, but when I got to a real person this was quick. > > I'm going to buy this product for my business. I plan to sell https://gitopsmanager.io on AWS and Azure Marketplaces. I needed a LiveChat and Support Ticketing system and this is perfect\! My app manages kubernetes clusters in AWS / Azure and an opensource suite of tools to enable GitOps build and deployment globally. LiveChat and HelpDesk are critical to my success in offering great support experience to my customers. ----- ### "Excellent Tools for Responsive and Efficient Client Service" — 5.0/5 > **Colleen** | *10 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: LiveChat, ChatBot, and Helpdesk have been excellent tools for OFE. They have helped us improve responsiveness, organize inquiries, and provide better support to the job seekers and community members we serve. LiveChat makes real-time communication easy, ChatBot helps with quick answers and after-hours support, and Helpdesk keeps our team coordinated and efficient. These tools have strengthened our service delivery and improved the overall client experience. > > **Cons**: Setting up LiveChat and a ChatBot can be a bit overwhelming, but the support team is excellent and will walk you through any challenges that occur. > > As a non-profit employment service organization, Opportunities for Employment (OFE) values tools that help us respond quickly, professionally, and consistently to the people we serve. LiveChat, ChatBot, and Helpdesk have been very beneficial for our team. LiveChat allows us to connect with job seekers and community members in real time, making it easier to answer questions, provide guidance, and create a welcoming first point of contact. ChatBot helps us extend support beyond regular office hours by responding to common inquiries and directing people to the right information or next steps. Helpdesk gives our team a more organized way to manage inquiries, track follow-up, and ensure nothing gets missed. Together, these tools have improved our responsiveness, strengthened the client experience, and helped us serve people more efficiently. ----- ### "Unreliable service, wasted money, no support" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 December 2025* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing. No reliable functionality, no support, no benefit for client management. The only positive aspect was the initial promise of a multi-site live chat solution, which on paper appeared suitable for managing client enquiries across several websites. Unfortunately, this promise was never fulfilled in practice. Beyond the basic concept, there was no real advantage, no reliability, and no tangible benefit in daily operations. The service failed to deliver any meaningful positive experience over the years of use. > > **Cons**: The service disconnects without warning. Incoming chat requests receive no alerts. Browser use breaks mobile use and the reverse occurs. Functional limits are absurd for a paid service. The platform feels obsolete, slow, and exhausting to manage. Support was absent despite years of payments. Clients complained due to missed messages and lack of responses. > > I paid for this live chat service for years and it has consistently failed to work properly. The system disconnects on its own without any warning, incoming client chat requests are not notified, and messages are missed entirely. As a result, both we and our clients were left frustrated and dissatisfied. The software is unreliable, outdated in its logic, and poorly designed. It behaves differently depending on whether it is used via browser or mobile, with absurd functional limits for a paid professional service. Managing it is laborious and pointless. It provides no benefit to client support and actively damages it. Despite these ongoing failures, payments were taken regularly. I never received proper assistance or meaningful technical support, despite repeated problems over time. The service never matched what was promised or reasonably expected. We have cancelled our account and are waiting for a refund. This service wasted time, money, and caused continuous operational stress. I strongly advise avoiding it. ----- Page: 1 / 70\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/62194/livechat?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/62194/livechat) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
