Olark has a wide array of functions that make it a very valuable live chat platform. Previously, we used LiveEngage by LivePerson, and were very disappointed with its integrations and functionality. With Olark, our sales staff is able to proactively engage website visitors, take them on guided tours of the website, hand off chats to other operators, and use web hooks to import data easily into our CRM (we use Velocify). Their support has been exceptional as well - and all at 1/4 the price we were paying for LiveEngage.

How easy everything is. Installation on the site is super quick as is setup and changes. Adding new team members is fast, as is monitoring conversations. If you have a small-ish team you want engaged on chat, you should 100% use this tool. If you have bigger teams (10+) then read other reviews because I haven't used the teams feature yet. But considering how easy everything else is on Olark, I would be surprised if teams is any different.

Easy code integration into our ecommerce website. Easy learning curve. Follow the customer as they browse. Looks good, works even better. Away times are useful too.
