CG Christopher G. Vacation Planner Hospitality Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/20/2018 "Perfect chat experience!" 5/5 What do you like best about Olark? It is a great program, with lots to offer, and from what I have seen, the company is amazing to it's employees, which can effect the clients, since you can often tell based on customer service experiences. It allows us to keep track of all of our chats, as well as allows the guests to grade their experience. Plus it has generated a ton of new leads for us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Olark? The only feature I wish existed was a way to put a chat on hold, or allow them to put their info in and let them know that someone will be with them momentarily, instead of getting multiple chats at once. We often have to all be offline to finish what we are doing, which doesn't allow the clients to use the chat feature. It would be useful for those companies, like us, the only usually have 2-4 people online at one time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Olark: Make sure you will have enough staff to man it, in case you are getting a large influx of chats. It can be hard to handle 3 or more at one time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Olark solving and how is that benefiting you? It helps us catch those guests who don't want to call in and talk to someone real. We are able to give our information at the click of a button, and then eventually get more leads out of it. We require at least their email address, so they also get put into our mailing system, which also helps to generate leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Love Olark" 5/5 What do you like best about Olark? Olark is great for businesses who have a chat function on their website! They make things so easy to chat with customers and the shortcuts are a must! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Olark? There is some lag in the chats sometimes, but that could have to do with my internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Olark solving and how is that benefiting you? We use Olark mainly to help customers troubleshoot purchases that they are having issues with or clarifying any questions that they might have about our product.

After 5 minutes if you have not responded to a chat it puts you away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Or for you to be able to get a guest on the phone if they have more complicated questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Olark solving and how is that benefiting you? Since I am in sales, it helps us engage guests that would normally be surfing the web. I get commission only on calls over the phone, so I can disrupt their online booking by offering to answer questions over the phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
