Olark made it possible for us to communicate with customers without spending time on the phone, but the process could have been more smooth.

Pros

We liked the notifications for the incoming chats as well as the option for all our representatives to control their availability.

Cons

We didn't like the fact that it wasn't possible to transfer chats from one representative to another while in the middle of the chat.

Response from Olark

Solid basic chat product with nice SFDC integration

Reviewed on 14/12/2017

Pros

The Salesforce integration is a must and they are continuing to improve the product. The latest feature release is the reporting capability which is a nice add-on.

Cons

They do have a lot of widespread issues (though they are transparent via their status page), and support is only available through chat (which makes sense but can be frustrating).

Chat feature for our site and sales team.

Chat feature for our site and sales team.

Pros

We have installed Olark on our site and it is a great tool for our salesteam. It allows us to see who is on our site live and multiple users can engage with site visitors.

Cons

It slows down our website a bit, and I'm trying to optimize page speed for the SEO benefits. I wish it wasn't as "heavy" an application.

We love Olark just as much as we love talking!

Reviewed on 05/06/2018

Pros

Love the ability to transfer conversations to the various offices the individual is asking for information from - this would be amazing for the military to use now that they don't have AKO IM!

Cons

There is not a single thing that I can say in a negative light about this software. We are beyond pleased and recommend it 100%!
