Awesome
Comments: I am able to work more efficiently thanks to this system.
Pros:
The system is easy to use, the interface looks good and has a lot of functions that you cannot find or are not so well thought anywhere else.
Cons:
Based on my experience with the software I don't see any immediate cons. Maybe a little more variety on the customization for appearance would be good.

Thank you again!
Alternatives Considered:
Better way to communicate
Pros:
Very Friendly - Handled many other chat programs, but i find comm100 very friendly and very easy to navigate, with minimum setting one can setup and use it within minutes. Excellent Reporting - Reporting mechanism is very robust, with a click you can see complete report. Comm100 can categorize incoming communications to proper department, which is one of the excellent feature, we can then transfer those chat to separate operators. Another best feature is the Ban list, where you can ban those fake people and irritating customer who has nothing to do with your product.
Cons:
Slightly contradict with pros that i have written above with reports, slightly more in-depth would be excellent, for example few days back i wanted to take report of chats volume with time, but i could do only with half-an-hour distribution, if it could be more details would have been very helpful.
Expensive for something so basic.
Comments: It is just that, a chat solution, you can do the same with less the cost. It is not a machine learning chatbot, it is very basic.
Pros:
There is nothing I like about this solution, if I did not inherit Comm100, I would not be using this. Lacking many features that are basic to almost all customer service tools. Reporting is basic, no way to slice and dice your own data.
Cons:
Reporting is very weak, it is very limited. The dashboard does is not customizable, it's a take what you can get information.
The only chat / omnichannel customer support platform you'll ever need
Comments: We use Comm100 for most of our customer support but the livechat is where it really shines. The customizes automatic invites, modern responsive design, knowledgebase and canned messages have helped us leap ahead of our competition in terms of our customer experience and this is reflected in our reviews. We are working on expanding into using Comm100 for 100% of our helpdesk experience and so far things have been going great.
Pros:
Extremely feature rich. It boasts everything the industry leading softwares have and yet isn't as expensive. There isn't so far anything that we've wanted to do that we've not been able to. It's also really a software that can grow and scale with you. We started out on the most basic version several years ago and have opted in to addons (e.g the knowledgebase) over time as well as moving up to higher version as necessary. The sales team have been helpful every step of the way in putting together a package that is perfectly tailored to our needs that year. Comm100 is very regularly updated and it's obvious that the makers are putting a lot of thought into the upgrades and what features and improvements are in demand now! In particular the new modern UI has been great. Really, really, really easy to use. What put me off about a lot of competing softwares is the steep learning curves both for initial setup and for staff to use ongoing. Many of the staff in our business are non-technical but we haven't even had to conduct training, they were able to use Comm100 straight out of the box. Really personal feel from the support team. They always give quick and helpful responses to any questions (however dumb). You're not on your own with Comm100.
Cons:
We've never really experienced any problem with Comm100. Anything we didn't like has been improved with newer versions of the software and in one instances a custom fix from the support team just for us.
Growing My Business
Pros:
We started an ecommerce website and were getting random hits. Then we came across Comm100. Once we started using it our sales increased. People who were on the fence about ordering came into chat and when they had their questions answered felt comfortable ordering. People love the personal aspect that they are talking to someone real not a computer. It's also very nice to be able to have multiple operators. This allows us to take our small business anywhere. We can answer our chat when answering a phone would be very inconvenient. Plus since I can put it on my cell phone it comes with me all the time. I'm not tied down to an office. The ease of use is great. I love the canned messages feature. This allows for personal answers to the questions still but not having to type them every time. This is great for common answers and wrapping up the chat. I highly recommend this service!!
Cons:
The customer inputs their question/reason for wanting a chat and I have to go look for it. I wish it would pop up in the chat once I answer so the customer doesn't have to re-ask it or ask if I had read it.
Easy to use overall.
Comments: Able to give good customer service through chat. We would like for you guys to make the icons for customers and also for us to attach files or send documents more visible and easier to access.
Pros:
Ease of use. Most of the time its been very reliable with very little down-time. I like the ability to join or monitor a chat with great ease.
Cons:
You guys should have better phone support. Normally, its only via email or chat. It would also be nice if you can offer screen shares at the basic package instead of having it as just a premium option. There are other companies that offer this. And Skype for example too has screen shares.

If you want to talk, you can find our support team at this time period on the phone, our phone number is 1-877-305-0464.

Comm100 works for us
Comments: We have been with Comm100 since the beginning and they have always been the glue that connects us to our customers. We are a virtual company with employees all over the country, yet with Comm100 we have a centralized platform that allows us to stay on top of any communication from our customers or prospects. Before purchasing Comm100 we looked at every alternative out there and Comm100 was the only one that flowed the way we flowed. We depend on it every day and it never let's us down. We currently integrated a complete suite of web tools from another company to run our business but we are sticking with Comm100 for our customer interaction.
Pros:
It gives all the necessary info about each chat request before we answer. That is invaluable. When we pick up a chat, we know everything that is required to handle the customer's needs. We have looked at other chat programs and it seems like they just don't get it. Comm100, whether by design or just luck, works perfectly for out Customer Support and Sales. Between the web, mobile and Windows app we have complete control of our customer support.
Cons:
We have no complaints. Comm100 fits all of our needs. Of course we look forward to the improvements in the future.
Comm100 Live Help(chat)
Comments: Great job to the developers, product runs smoothly
Pros:
This software fits great our organization needs, we use it as a chat channel to communicate with our customers, perform both sales and customer service. Clients also love it, they can rate the chat session after it ends or automatically receive copy of the chat log if requested. Servers are good and never failed us, we have 24/7 support and use this chat constantly. Admin panel is also great as you could set different options and observe operators work, chat session are saved and also connected to the database where operators can attach them after each chat. Reports show many useful stats that can make you plan the business!
Cons:
Nothing bad to say as chat has been really useful for us!

Comm100 review by Teodora Dimitrova
Comments: It is good, strong connection 24/7, good dictionary and auto correct, good statistic and reports can be loaded, easy to manage operators, no limit of the chat accepted.
Pros:
Runs with a desktop program and online in any browser. Good server that never let us down and we always had good connection as well as our customers on the other side
Cons:
The new update was not that good it made the program too bright and you cannot customize that, it is not very cheap when many operators have to operate at the same time as you buy a slot

Thanks so much for the 5-star review Teodora. We have worked hard to achieve industry's best up-time with our MaximumOn technology, so we're thrilled to hear that our servers have never let you down. It's also good to know that you find our product easy to use and get value from our reporting capabilities. Regarding the Agent Console brightness, this has been passed on to our product team and there are plans in the works to offer more customizability in our UI. If you have any other product suggestions, we'd love to hear about it on our customer feedback forum (https://comm100.uservoice.com). Thanks again Teodora!
Great and easy to use on both sides: as an user and admin
Comments: Made my life better since my company purchased this product. User friendly
Pros:
Has a lot of functionalities for the admin panel, to check chat data, users in the website and to invite them
Cons:
Not enough customisation available as for the look/Colorado scheme of the chat on both sides as well.

User friendly, sometimes technical issues.
Pros:
It offers the support needed to operate our program. It is helpful to have canned messages and an after hours answering service.
Cons:
You do not have control (that I know of) to the tabs on the back end for reporting/sorting. So for instance, when ratings were taken off of the visible information, we needed to start opening up each chat in order to view this.

Hi Jennifer, thanks for your comments. We are very sorry to hear that you've experienced some technical issues with us. We've reviewed your file and a member of our team will be reaching out to you to find out more details. For controlling the tabs on the back end for reporting/sorting, we strive to implement a system that meets the requirements of the majority of our clients. We're sorry to hear that in this case a change made has been inconvenient to you. If we understand correctly, you'd like to have a rating field on the Chats page of the control pane. Is this correct? Although this is not possible on the Chats page, you can view scores in the Rating report, or filter this over any period of time and export the data to work with it further. I hope this solution works for you - if not, please contact us at [email protected], and we'll look into it further for you. We're always open to feedback on how our service can be improved. Thanks again for your helpful feedback.

Comm100 is a must have for your business
Pros:
Comm100 is easily customizable and satisfies all of our needs for a customer facing communication solution. We as a company started out with only the chat software, and a few add ons but as we quickly built confidence in it, we decided to go all out and utilize their AI chatbot and other amazing features.
Cons:
Of course there are hiccups when implementing any new software but I can't thank Comm100's Success Team enough for being so readily available to answer any questions or help us through processes. They really do go above and beyond the level of service expected.
Works good, user friendly. Different settings allow us to adjust the program accordingly to ourneed
Pros:
Chat we are using is very responsive. I adapted quickly and it works well for our business. Customers seem to love it as well
Cons:
New version was way too bright, which is bad for the eyes. We got the new version months ago but i am still using the old one as tit it much better

User-friendly interface, could use some performance improvements.
Pros:
Enjoying the functionality in general - features such as personalized canned messages, details of customers in chat as well as the navigation.
Cons:
Design could be revisited in regards to the brightness. Performance is a matter that can be reviewed as well, due to slight issues popping up occasionally.

A great tool that allows us to connect with our customers
Comments: Converting potential customers that are researching appliances to purchasing customers
Pros:
I love using the quick canned message feature. It allows me to respond quickly with a lot of commonly used statements.
Cons:
When a new message come through I get a pop up in the lower corner of my screen if I have the window minimized. That pop up goes away too quickly for me to click on it. There needs to be an option to have that pop up appear longer.

Best decision ever
Comments: We sell a product that usually takes "teaching" to complete the sale. Comm has been instrumental in that process. Honestly, I am not sure our company would have survived without the ability to quickly and professionally communicate with our customers A sincere thank you to all those who make comm work..
Pros:
Ease of use. The look and feel of the software. The historical info that it maintains.
Cons:
Wish it had enhanced analytics, would like to have it tie into different sales funnels.
Have used for a number of years and more recently upgraded to start using the departments feature.
Pros:
Ease of use, responses from support team, department feature and smart phone app. It easily integrates to our websites and we use it across multiple sites.
Cons:
Nothing really, everything just works. Reliably and as expected. Not had any problems with the software

Hi Petar, thank you for your review. We're glad that you like our auto translation feature. Sorry to hear you're having issues with brightness, freezes and canned messages. It sounds like you may be using an outdated version of our Agent Console app, as this can cause the issues you're experiencing. We have since switched to a more reliable HTML5 based technology, and you can upgrade to the latest version by uninstalling the old app and installing the new one from https://www.comm100.com/livechat/desktopchat.aspx. We'll also arrange for a member of our team to reach out to you to follow up. Thank you again, Petar!
I use livechat to communicate with external clients.
Comments: It allows me to communicate with clients.
Pros:
I enjoy the ability to manage multiple chats at the same time. I also like how notifications allow me to know if there is a new participant.
Cons:
The menu system could use some refinement. It would also be very helpful to have the ability to insert screenshots.
