Top Rated Olark Alternatives
I like how easy this was to install on my site. The analytics are great - especially the integration with Google Analytics. I like several of the extensions and the possibility of integrating chat with other applications. I like that they have free trial. The chat interface and its behavior are customizable to match our site's look and feel and business workflow. You can define the number of users and get billed based on the actual number of users. You can go up and down on the number of of users depending on your needs. Olark's customer service is helpful and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This product affects page load speed (which slows down my site, although it's true of many website add ons). I wish the pricing was more affordable with larger number of users. I'd like to see more integrations with CRM's - especially with Zoho CRM. Pulling up transcripts is a little slow, but fortunately we don't need to do this very often.

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.
