LiveAgent recognized as one of the best CRM software for the education & automotive industry

GetApp, an established software review and recommendation engine featured LiveAgent in its “Customer Service Category Leader” report earlier this year. LiveAgent was compared to established industry giants such as Zendesk, Freshdesk, HappyFox, Groove, Hubspot, Zoho Desk, and Intercom “based on ratings from end-users in five key areas: ease of use, value for money, functionality, customer support, and likelihood to recommend.”

Despite the tough competition, LiveAgent placed second with a score of 98/100.

After announcing the Category Leaders, GetApp was on the hunt for the best CRM software for the education and automotive industries. 

A top score in the automotive industry

To find the best CRM software for the automotive industry, GetApp considered all of the tools featured in their “Category Leader” reports for campaign management, customer service, and lead generation. 

LiveAgent made it to the top of the list and ranked as one of the best performing customer service CRM tools.

LiveAgent was praised for its real-time typing view feature, which lets you see what your customers are typing into the chat window before they even hit send.

GetApp also noted the benefits of our built-in call center, private notes, canned responses, ticket merging, mail templates, and knowledge base builder for supporting customers.

A top score in the education industry as well
