Top Rated Olark Alternatives
it has very simple integration with Zen Cart or any site. it just works. Users need very little training. I like the new feedback function. With very simple configurations you can do it to do very powerful things. It integrates with Google Analytics very well. I love being able to see what page our customers are on while they browse our site. When we are not available it turns into an awesome contact us form. I love the ability to magically push a site visitor to a different page on our site. The dashboard, transcripts, reporting has been great. I really like the new Customer Satisfaction surveys that it asks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The zen cart shopping cart system olark integration has to be able to show me the product names, quantity, attributes, and order total of what is in my customers shopping cart at any given time. I wish I could see a record of when my reps were listed as available or not. I wish I could see a record of when chats were so busy that their max number of chats were reached. I wish a follow up to the customer saying "are you still here or is there any way i can serve you more?" and then a customer satisfaction survey would be asked automatically after a set amount of time.

I don't know of any downsides.
Settings are need a little more fine-tuning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Olark offered the basic features that you'll need for your business to start chatting with customers on your website. It has an easy-to-use interface. Chat is another avenue to engage with customers who are not willing to call or email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was disappointing that there isn't a mobile app to use to capture chats when away from the computer and the options are very limited. I really think that a major milestone would be to have an app where agents can respond to customers or perspective customers when not at their workstations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like just how simple and easy it was to pick up and use. We didn't have to have a long training on how to use the software, you just start using it. I also like how you could create custom responses in the software to make things easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We would put a limit on how many users you could connect to at once, and sometimes that wouldn't work correctly so you would have multiple users you are trying to talk with at the same time. That was really the only issue I had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I loved being able to connect instantly with our customers and answer their questions and assist them with their support immediately. It made things seem more personable and put names to our customers who use our products. It allowed us to help and get instant feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There were times it would display me as offline or away, which I wasn't, so that would become a bit of an issue, but besides that, the chat itself was easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Olark is extremely easy to install and simple to use. We have used for online events during COVID and I was able to train different volunteers on how to manage the chat feature through Olark easily. Love that they make a free trial available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wished I could put the chat on one page on our website, but it seems like you have to do all or nothing. We use Squarespace, so I'm not sure if it's that specific integration only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being able to assign an agent as accepting or not accepting new chats, with the automatic email notification of chats when no one is available to take them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a little boxy and customization is not very intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
