What do you like best about Chatlio?

Chatlio is an excellent livechat support feature. You can easily customize the template, hours of operation and more. Our version of Chatlio is linked to Slack. Slack is how our Chatlio talks to us; it allows everyone in the office the opportunity to read tech support questions to filter who is best suited to answer. We have never had any issues with Chatlio, including no disruptive maintenance. There are multiple subscription levels that allow you to expand your chat resources to more people in the office, and be able to store all conversations in an archive. We only have one site we would need Chatlio for; however, one subscription gives you access to as many sites as necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chatlio?

The integration process with slack can be difficult, especially if you have a small implementation team. Once you have the Chatlio feature, people on the other end have no way of minimizing their chat button. Sometimes our users need to look at information that is covered by the button but overall this is really not an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chatlio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Chatlio allows us another option besides phone and email for customer support. It gives users a "quick question" option that gives our support team plenty of time to respond. Like I said before, we use Chatlio through Slack. Everyone in our company has the ability to look at the chats coming in, which allows us to answer based on areas of expertise. It reduces the number of phone calls which gives us time to prepare better answers for our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chatlio?

When I discovered Chatlio almost 3 years ago, it was a game-changer for me. I hated to have to install "another" third-party software or web-based application to run my LiveChat. But with Chatlio, I was able to onboard my team of 10 support agents that were already on Slack in less than 10 minutes. No need to set up again 10 accounts, or to upload a profile picture, bio, etc... I just log in once with Slack and boom! I was all set. It was love at first sight, and Chatlio never failed us from that moment. I highly recommend this product, it simply has all the features we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chatlio?

There is nothing to dislike about Chatlio, it's a great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chatlio?

By far the best feature IMO is the integration with Slack. I'm always on Slack and get notifications on desktop, mobile, and my Apple watch, so I never miss an opportunity or question that comes across our website. In addition, they have a bunch of different pricing platforms and so the price is right for our small business. The conversations are archived and we can access anytime for reference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chatlio?

You are limited to the features you get with the basic version, including the ability to capture case-specific information from the user who started the chat. Also, the information that comes across in Slack could be a little more copy-friendly. Finally, I wish there were more integrations, including one for Salesforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Chatlio:

If you use Slack as a communication tool for your organization and also need a chat tool for your website, Chatlio has some good, basic options at a fair price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chatlio solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides a subtle way for website visitors to seek further information from my organization. It allows me to receive it in a way that is easy and convenient for me and my team. We've been able to jump on opportunities that have led to new work because we got the chat requests quickly and during off-hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chatlio?

Chatlio opens a new door to all those people or users who have a website with products, this application simple to manage and easy to configure will allow us to see in real time the opinions of new projects and the opinion on the products something I find very innovative for all those companies that have been working with websites, offers high quality chat and settings for you to feel much more comfortable when using the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chatlio?

I have no complaints about its use but if I have seen a few complaints regarding what credit cards are, it seems to me that they still do not work very well, but to me personally has never presented me with problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Chatlio:

I personally would recommend to small and medium businesses to implement this wonderful application in their work because it maintains a high level of communication, in addition to being high quality, has a free trial thing that I have not seen in other applications that are extremely expensive and offer much less than chatlio, so I think that this software is worth much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chatlio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since I use Chatlio I maintain a high level of communication with partners, colleagues and customers, something that is of paramount importance for the steady growth of the company, thanks to this tool we are always available to communicate with customers and keep ourselves informed about the products.

What do you like best about Chatlio?

First of all the setup is simple and the solution is easy to use. We haven't had a any complaints about the technology for nearly two years now. The integration with Slack is huge as we do nearly everything else there including phone calls. Great that we get all our users onto the chat option for a reasonable price given our low volumes, transactions, (cost as a client). Love automatic status updates on website widget based on who on our end is available for questions in Slack. Decent widget options, settings, config, etc. Area for Segment integration is nice as well as webhooks for the various touch points in a conversation/chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chatlio?

Honestly the only thing I have disliked is that they shut us off once over $45, without sufficient notice IMHO. Our card had fraud so was waiting for new one in mail. They ran card once, failed. Then they literally just gave me 3 days to notice (no one called me or reached out). This was about 2 years ago though and haven't had issue since and have had same issue with card needing updated so they fixed based on our discussion or others like it. Only other item is reporting. Limited but assuming no one has pushed them to build it out given the webhooks and segment integration, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Chatlio:

I'd highly recommend giving them a hard look for your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chatlio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Chatlio enabled us to get our website visitors supported by all our users to help tremendously with coverage for helping our website visitors. We also now are able to seamlessly get the data sent elsewhere for relating to other data sets. The price is great as not based on users and tied more to function, cost or T&M.

High level benefits are we have improved chat access/availability to our patients, gained another tool to gauge employee engagement with our patients, gained ability to get data to our other data sets, reduced cost and complexity, improved end user experience, etc. Bravo to Chatlio! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Eberly of Chatlio

Thanks for your nice review Dan.

In regards to you feedback on account shut off, we totally agree and apologize for any pain that caused back then. About a year ago, we changed our previously automated account closure process to not cancel an account without several weeks of attempted emails and calls to rectify situation.

Best,

John, Chatlio Founder

Its easy integration, quality, simplicity, innovative approach and outstanding support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chatlio?

Frankly, there isn't one thing that I dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Chatlio:

We had been working on implementing a live chat feature to our service for a very short time and as soon as we came across Chatlio and saw that we were able to integrate it with Slack, we knew it was the right product for us. It is truly amazing, was incredibly easy to implement on our back end and has been a success 2 years in a row. Our subscribers are loving the ability to simply chat us up about a questions rather than call or write an email. We are able to provide instantaneous solutions and share links with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chatlio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Real-time assistance to policymakers when time is of the essence.

It has reduced the number of phone calls we receive thereby providing our team with more time to focus on other tasks at hand. It has also enabled us to provide a quick and reliable support to our subscribers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chatlio?

We're already on Slack all day, so Chatlio brings our customer communication into the same place. That lets us handle those requests in our normal flow of work. We got Chatlio up and running in minutes, and it's been fully stable and low maintenance over the last two years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chatlio?

Honestly, I don't have any issues with Chatlio. I spent a few minutes installing it two years ago and it's been humming along ever since, giving us all these benefits with zero effort on our part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Chatlio:

Do it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chatlio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Chatlio lets us get direct access to sales leads and customers. We have it on our marketing site as well as inside our SaaS product. On our marketing site, we've been connected to people who have reached out to us to buy or even invest. On the product side, we hear about issues that might otherwise go unmentioned. This is all because Chatlio gives those people an easy channel to reach a real person. They get to talk to us right away, without having to deal with the hurdles of a support page/form/lag time.

What do you like best about Chatlio?

The widget was super easy to integrate and I appreciated the free month trial. We were also able to hide the widget and use the API to enable live Slack chat on our website with our own custom UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chatlio?

Account management is tricky... I couldn't add a user to my account if they already created their own account. I also was double charged somehow for a couple of months, but they reversed the charge and even gave me a small refund. Also the API doesn't include events for when the agent is typing in Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Chatlio:

This works with Slack, so make sure you understand how Slack works first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chatlio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instantly chat with customers with absolutely minimal setup. We were able to prototype chat interactions to evaluate with customers, and had valuable learnings from these prototypes using the Chatlio/Slack functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Chatlio?

I love the integration features. Formerly we used Hubspot, and found it was a mess. The ability to handle and share conversations in Slack is amazing, and the reason we switched. It's 100% worth the pain and effort to switch from Hubspot Messenger feature. We would love to see Chatlio expand the integration to allow more and varied interactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chatlio?

The lower end subscription could use or operators. The 50$/month is a bit steep. At lease for startups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Chatlio:

Would it be possible to watch customers on the site, and based on activity open a call conversation with them directly? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chatlio solving and how is that benefiting you?

We want to connect with customers as fast as possible. We love the feature that lets us know how long a customer has waited for feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
