"Great UI and Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Olark?

The simplicity of the UI used as an operator, and on the viewers side is minimal but effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Olark?

Sometimes Olark network may not be up but out of 1000 times logging in, this happens maybe 1 to 5 times. Not unreasonable. I also hope operator could send attachments. I also hope there could be a group chat feature for operators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Integration with salesforce"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Olark?

Most of our chats are handled by a specific team so we don't always get to see what their day to day is like. With the sales force integration we can easily get a look into that to better assist our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Olark?

No major issues at the moment. If options are added in the future to further the salesforce integration that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
