One of the most intiutive live chat tools

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

The tool has been designed with the end user in mind. There are simple things that Comm100 does well 1. There is a notification when anyone lands on the site. Even if they have not initiated a chat, you get the notification 2. You can see how the user is moving from one page to another, even if they are not chating with you. 3. Chat component is easy to configure and install

Cons:

1. The mobile app for chatting is very basic. It does not give the dashboard view which is available on the website

I have been using comm100 for the last 5 and a half years now. So far so good.

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: COMM100 is of utmost importance if a business is serious about engaging its clients on a day to day basis. If a start-up is to effectively communicate with its clients at any one time, then this live chat software and its chatbox service cannot be ignored. At Africa Sunset Travel Solutions, COMM100 is simply indispensable despite its high monthly costs.

Pros:

1. Comm100 has no downtimes. This chat software never goes down unless your hosting solution is down. 2. ChatBot: Comm100 have introduced a great auto-responding bot. This is extremely useful when I am offline. I just have to feed the data and viola! It responds given terms typed by my client.

Cons:

Comm100 is quite expensive. There are numerous free software out there. However, given their efficiency, I would still recommend them.

Comm100 didn't care about our data

1.0 5 years ago

Comments: The whole company should be closed down and the owners made to sell their private assets to compensate the people who they have let down

Pros:

nothing any more - I have to fill the box with this other blurb just to reach the minimum character count

Cons:

the fact that after confirming in writing that they were going to continue supprt for the User and Contact module they just deleted our entire data right in the middle of us working on it. Their wholly inadequate system would not even allow us to back up any more than about 1 MB at at a time. I am surprised they are still in business

Comm100 Network Corporation Response

5 years ago

Hi Karim, There may have been a misunderstanding here. Before discontinuing our User and Contact products, we ran a multi-month notification campaign and sent many emails to administrators. Users of the product were advised to download their data in advance of the close date. That being said, we are truly sorry for any inconvenience this caused you, and would like to offer you and your team 3 months of Comm100 for free. If you are interested, or need more help from us, please chat with us on our website.

Awesome

5.0 7 years ago

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.

The simplistic design allows for clear and easy access. I am able to navigate quickly as well as manage multiple guests at once.

Cons:

My least favorite part is that I am unable to deselect a visitor after had looking at their details and information.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. If you don't want to have any visitor selected, you can select an out-of-site visitor. So once the out-of-site visitor disappears from your agent console, no visitor will be selected. We'll also send this feedback to our product team. Hope this helps. If you need further help, please don't hesitate to contact our support team at [email protected], or chat with us online. Thanks again.

Premium customer support software

4.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Comm100 is one of the premium live chat and customer support software I've ever used with all advanced feature and seamless integration with other third parties softwares and websites. It provides fast and easy to use solution to the companies. Integration process was super easy and the whole interface was optimized.

Cons:

WordPress plugin was not updated for multiple years when I used this software. Tho, It worked very fine not updating plugins leads to security vulnerabilities.

Excellent service

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: We are able to present to customers from the comfort of our own office rather than travelling to see them.

Pros:

We use this for our business webinars, we like the functionality where you can change the organiser so someone else can host the meeting/ screen share with the organisers permission.

Cons:

The only con to this software is that sometimes is doesn't start up straight away so customers are left waiting on a meeting without an organiser. This could very well just be our server on those days but seems to happen with only this software on those days.

Comm100 Network Corporation Response

Hi Grant, thank you so much for leaving us a review. It seems that you're using our Join.Me or GoToMeeting screen sharing integration. Were you referring to the Join.Me or GoToMeeting when you said the software didn't start up straight away? We'll arrange for a member of our team to reach out to you to follow up to make sure we understand and can help resolve this issue. Thank you again!

Works great, has opened a whole new aspect of quick customer service for us

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: Excellent outreach to customers who are not always willing to run into the store right away.

Pros:

It's fast and responsive, and the programmers have been very willing to customize the experience for our needs instead of sticking us with a cookie-cutter product.

Cons:

The program is a little heavy, and doesn't run quite as sleekly on older or lower electronics as I'd like.

I find that Comm100 tends to have sporadically.

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: It helps me assist multiple customers at a time.

Pros:

I love the features it has and the abilities that you have to customize it. I also like the many reports that you have to choose from.

Cons:

The glitches. Sometimes the window freezes, sometimes my responses are delayed to our customers, also sometimes they don't see my responses at all.

Comm100 Network Corporation Response

Hi Sharlea, thanks for your comments. We're glad that you love the features of our chat system, but we're sorry to hear that you have been experiencing some glitches. We've reviewed your account, and noticed that you are using an outdated version of our Agent Console app, which can cause the issues you're experiencing. We have since switched to a more reliable HTML5 based technology, and if you can upgrade to the latest version, that will stop the issues you describe from reoccurring. You can upgrade to our new Agent Console by uninstalling the old app and installing the new one from https://www.comm100.com/livechat/desktopchat.aspx. We'll arrange for a member of our team to reach out to you to follow up and make sure that you've seen an improvement once you've done this. Thanks again for your helpful feedback.

Comments: Great experience so far, pleasure to work with and to communicate with the support if needed!

Pros:

I've been working with comm100 live help for years already, great product with many options. We use it for communication with our clients and it never failed us. You can by slots for as many operators as you need to and set different option for each of them such as quantity of customer that can be accepted per operator, auto accept option, option to get offline message if there are no operators online. Many many settings, also in terms of extracting reports and monitor the operators. With the admin rights you can manage everything you need to!

Cons:

Products is regularly updated so there is nothing bad to say, price could be an issue for some companies as you pay per operator(slot)

Love this product! Everything is readily available for your use in the desktop and web application.

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: Ability to monitor all incoming chats from clients regardless of the operator.

Pros:

I can see what a client is typing prior to receiving the direct response which allows me to begin research and fast response times.

Cons:

With all the updates, it looks the ability to keep track of how long a person is waiting in the chat is not present anymore. This helps my team as we have a certain amount of minutes in the middle of each response to get back or check up on clients.

Comm100 Network Corporation Response

Hi Carmen, thank you for your feedback about our product. We are glad to hear that both the desktop and web version work well for you. It is also good to know that you are finding it useful to view messages before they are sent. In terms of why you are not able to view how long a person is waiting in chat, please check the bottom left of your Agent Console interface where there should be a Settings icon and tick 'Show agent unresponsive time' to enable the wait time display. If you have problem fixing this, please feel free to contact our customer support team via live chat for more detailed guidance. Thank you again for the feedback!

Comm100 has helped us streamline our chat and provide better support.

5.0 7 years ago

Pros:

The ability to monitor all chats for the supervisors is incredibly helpful to make sure all of our agents are giving the most accurate information while remaining friendly.

Cons:

The inability to send messages as a supervisor in a chat being handled by another agent. Sending them directly to the agent means they are often missed.

Comm100 Network Corporation Response

7 years ago

Hi Erica, thank you for sharing your experience with us. Happy to hear that our live chat helps you provide better support. We understand that sometimes chats require management involvement. Sending messages as a supervisor in a chat is good, but the visitor might feel like a message from a stranger appears out of the blue. A suggestion is to use the Join Chat feature so that the visitor knows another person is joining the chat. Upon entering the chat conversation, you can introduce yourself, and address the case over chat. Hope this helps. If not, please contact our support team at [email protected], or chat with us online so that we can discuss further and better meet your needs.

Easy to use; it helps a lot in engaging with customers' questions

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: It solves the live-chat problem, together with a ticketing system.
We use the ticket system to track requests for fixing our web-application, which saves us money from buying software such as Jira.

Pros:

Live chat works just as expected, never seen it fail. Easy to transfer chat to another operator, easy to setup and use canned questions.

Cons:

I'm not sure how tickets are re-opened (after they are closed) with just an email reply (some times even weeks ago).

Comm100 Network Corporation Response

7 years ago

Hi Ethan, thanks for the detailed comments. We're glad that you like our live chat system. Regarding the tickets re-opening, as long as there is an email reply to the closed ticket, it will be re-opened, and its status will be changed to Pending Internal. This is to make sure that any further messages will not be missed, and will be attached to the same ticket to understand the context better. We hope this solves your issue, but if not, please reach out to our support team to see how we can help you further. They can be reached at [email protected] or you can chat with us online, any time. Also, we're actually redesigning our ticketing system right now, aiming to make it more straightforward and intuitive. Please stay tuned!

Great Service

Comments: It has been a great tool in allowing people to be able to contact us with questions about the services we provide.

Pros:

Ease of setup and customization was great in getting everything going. Our web developer was able to use and modify the code easily to match the style of our website. I believe that even the most novice person can use this software easily.

Cons:

There really aren't any cons to this software. If there were I would say that the reporting feature of web hits is much lower than the software we use to edit our webpage.
