Provides omnichannel AI features and has good routing capabilities

The routing capabilities are excellent. We have priority routing set up for VIP customers, disabled customers, and those with special needs, ensuring they receive prompt and efficient service. We have implemented a use case where AI helps when a customer calls and says, "My bill is high." The AI searches the customer's profile to check if the high consumption is real or just a misunderstanding. If it is high, the AI creates a notification for the backend to check the issue. The system automatically generates the bill and the notification for the agent, who then views and either submits or rejects the notification. I recommend using the solution for all the features I have mentioned before, including the excellent AI experience, omnichannel, self-service, and customer journey features. I rate it a nine.

Provides stability with security, and the reporting helps us improve our processes

I think they're working on it, but with telehealth being so prevalent in healthcare now—and they already do a lot of things that are on the edge of the telehealth experience—there's an opportunity to develop the platform to be more comprehensive. The overall development of the platform into something more comprehensive could be helpful. One of the stronger suits of the platform, and an advantage for us, has been the reporting. But there's always the idea that the more data you have, and the more reports that have, the more you want. There is an opportunity to further develop the reporting. That opportunity is not because the reporting is lacking today, rather, it's there because there's always an opportunity to look at reports in different ways. With that said, if it's meant to be just a telephony system and the steady rock that it is, I don't know that anything needs to be improved. In terms of additional features, I would like to see more video conferencing, some degree of mobile apps, and artificial intelligence. That's the wave of the future with healthcare. Our providers are all on-the-go, so anything that allows them to remain mobile and not have to go to a desk to take a phone call, would be a good addition. Any additional ways to share documents and information, communicate with one another in different ways, would be helpful. A lot of providers require texting today, so developing that piece of the platform would probably be good. Overall, a good mobile application that folks could download from the app store and access our transfer center through would be great.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's scalable, it's fast, and it is very robust."

"The technical support services are good."

"Being the president of our organization, I love the secured email because there are a lot of messages that I have to send out that are secure. There have not been any issues with sending the messages or with individuals receiving and viewing them."

"LinkLive gives us a central location for our communication channels and that is very important. I can go back and see if someone has a complaint. Although our users are spread out, everything, all the conversations, is housed in one place. I can keep up with the conversations. The interface works wonderfully."

"In the future, we may take advantage of LinkLive's video or phone capabilities, but we strictly use text chat now, so I would say that is most valuable to us at the moment."

"It's very reliable and we haven't had much experience with any downtime or dropped calls, which, of course, is one of the most important things to us. That's been a big win for us."

"Our agents find the authenticated session feature to be the most helpful. It can take 30 to 45 seconds to verify someone with verifying questions through digital banking, and we didn't have the capability of verifying questions through digital banking before LinkLive. This feature allowed us to work in partnership with our digital banking provider, who can see that a customer is within an authenticated digital banking session. They do not need to ask verifying questions again to ensure that the person is who they say they are. That is one of the nicest things for us, and especially for our agents."

"One of the primary features we use it for is the Agent Connect screen-sharing feature. I find it invaluable when troubleshooting customer problems with online banking. It saves us time, and time is money."

"There are so many valuable features. One of the things that we really appreciate is the uptime. LinkLive rarely, if ever, goes down or disconnects calls. We appreciate that we don't have to be concerned about dropping calls or losing a customer mid-call as a result of those issues."

"The presentation of calls within the applications used to access conference call forwarding is straightforward and user-friendly."

Cons

"The solution should be more flexible on-premises. We are currently on-premises and looking to move to the cloud."

"Its scalability means that it is not a simple 'install and forget' setup."

"The notifications for incoming chats could be a little more obvious. Our organization doesn't have a call center, so we don't have someone sitting at the computer waiting for a chat to come in. They're busy with other work."

"Our agents have made some requests for some automated responses and some ways that they could improve the way those get pushed out. Right now, the way that canned responses are set up, they could be set up with as many responses as you want. However, the one thing that they liked from our previous providers is that you could categorize responses. So, if you have a certain area where you might have four or five responses related to one topic, then you could easily just click on the topic and see your responses. That is one area which is not a huge deal, but it gives back those five seconds that you are looking for a response to get more lengthy responses out to a customer. It would be nicer to have that a little bit more available."

"In the browser-based experience, I would love to see a hold button. Presently, you have to drag the hold music into a call and then drag it out. A hold button would really be easier, particularly if you have to put someone on hold multiple times."

"The onboarding process could be enhanced by providing comprehensive training to all users, not just administrators."

"I would like to see more video conferencing, some degree of mobile apps, and artificial intelligence. That's the wave of the future with healthcare. Our providers are all on-the-go, so anything that allows them to remain mobile and not have to go to a desk to take a phone call, would be a good addition."

"On the back-office side, it houses email addresses for when you look at the agent hunt groups. I can't use my work email address in my own online banking account because it messes up whether I'm an employee or a customer."

"In our experience, the areas where there could be improvement are training, staff adoption, and getting the staff comfortable with utilizing the complexities of LinkLive, such as screen sharing."

"I would like LinkLive to rework the notification system. There's an audible sound, and an alert pops up on the screen. However, in Microsoft Teams, an unviewed chat message appears red on my taskbar. That doesn't happen in LinkLive. My only enhancement request is to improve the notifications."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Avaya Contact Center solutions might not be the cheapest solution available (but you certainly get what you pay for)."

"The pricing is fair."

"In terms of cost, LinkLive was similar to other products. I find it reasonable. Its features, for the cost, were a better deal comparatively speaking."

"The pricing is exceptionally competitive, and the value we receive from LinkLive for the cost is a significant advantage."

"We have been very comfortable with the pricing. We are a smaller financial institution so pricing is always a factor. We feel that we are just getting a ton of value for what we are spending."

"You definitely get more bang for the money with LinkLive.You can get a more expensive product that does what this one does, and possibly more, but for the cost, it works perfectly with our core system."

LinkLive is an advanced communication platform designed to elevate the way businesses interact with their customers securely, enhance personalized customer engagement and team collaboration. The platform utilizes a combination of human expertise and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide secure communication solutions, and improving operational efficiencies. It was formerly known as Revation Systems.

At its core, LinkLive unifies voice, video, chat, and email communications into a single, integrated platform. This consolidation enables businesses to offer a more cohesive and responsive customer service experience. Users can seamlessly switch between communication modes, ensuring that customer interactions are both flexible and efficient.

LinkLive places a strong emphasis on security and regulatory compliance, making it an ideal choice for sectors such as healthcare, finance, and government, where data protection is paramount. The platform incorporates end-to-end encryption, robust access controls, and audit trails to safeguard sensitive information and comply with industry regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, and more.

Leveraging AI and machine learning, LinkLive offers advanced personalization capabilities. It can analyze customer data in real-time to provide personalized interactions and recommendations. This level of insight helps businesses tailor their services to individual customer needs, enhancing satisfaction and loyalty.

Charles Larsen, a Senior Director at Banner Health, shared with us that LinkLive is "very reliable and we haven't had much experience with any downtime or dropped calls, which, of course, is one of the most important things to us. That's been a big win for us."

Emily Aubele, Quality Assurance Director at United Way of Pennsylvania, shared with us that they chose LinkLive over other vendors, because with LinkLive, "all of the applications are in-house, meaning the chat, the text—everything that you use—is developed and maintained internally by LinkLive. In the other systems, chat, text, and video were all third-party applications."
