GetApp, an established software review and recommendation engine published its annual “Category Leader” report. 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.”
