Charles Larsen - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Manual ticketing features hinder workflow, but cost-effective ticket management is ensured
We just use it because it's more trouble to rip it out than to replace it with a more expensive tool. I would not recommend this product to others. If budget is a concern, it might be suitable but it doesn’t excite. Hence, I would rate it a four out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"The presentation of calls within the applications used to access conference call forwarding is straightforward and user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"LinkLive makes us more progressive in terms of efficiency and productivity. It is just a better customer experience."
"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."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus works fine as a help desk software and is relatively inexpensive."
"We have found the reporting in this product to be very useful."
"The product is very scalable and stable when used as a help desk once it is built out."
"The product teams are continuously on the products trying to improve them. If, for example, I ask for a change to be done in the software, the chances are in the next release it's going to be done and incorporated. It's this personal touch that I like."
"Their tech support has been talking to us about expanding features like integrations with Microsoft Teams."
"The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 initial enrollment of employees can be a little bit challenging. It tends to require the need to reach out to Link-Live support to iron out a bug or two."
"They're pretty good but there's always room for improvement. There should be more templates that users can utilize immediately."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus could improve on workflow automation features."
"The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."
"The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan."
"The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise."
"There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available."
"I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"ManageEngine products will always be the lowest cost in category as that is part of their business model."
"The licensing fees depend on different criteria, including options and sizing."
