Best quality/cost ratio among several ticketing systems I tried

Rather good, I have tested several tools and this one has the best quality/cost ratio. I would like to extend my trial period to make a demo to my colleagues and to my financial direction at the beginning of September, if possible.

Pros

There is no time or storage space limits on the tickets
The cost is affordable
The servers can be in Europe and the system is RGPD-compliant
The integration with Zimbra is also a plus (although I could not test it in the free trial)

Cons

In case the student sends an email to me instead of the support address, I would like to forward it to the support address and to see a ticket associated to the student (not to me). When I forward a message to the support address, this automatically creates a ticket (this a good) but I have to manually re-assign the [sensitive content hidden] to the original expeditor. It would be better if LiveAgent automatically assigned the ticket to the original expeditor.

Alternatives Considered

Eudonet and Zendesk Suite

Reasons for Switching to LiveAgent

LiveAgent suffices for our needs and we cannot afford more expensive products

Response from QualityUnit

Hi Carole, Glad to hear you find LiveAgent affordable with no storage limits. Regarding your feedback on ticket reassignment, it's noted. We recommend setting forwarding rules to automatically route emails correctly. For extending your trial, please contact our support team directly so we can assist you.

Very powerful application with an excellent customer service.

During the month that we have been working with them I can only have good words. A professional and fast team who have a very powerful tool that is helping us to improve our sales and purchasing numbers.

Pros

The level of customisation and tailoring to your business needs.

Cons

Some WhatsAPP business API features are missing, such as buttons, but I understand that they are already working on them.

Alternatives Considered

HubSpot CRM

Reasons for Switching to LiveAgent

A more affordable price, within the reach of smaller companies and with the features needed to help your sales team grow.
