The chat is fantastic and very clean. The admin interface is so easy to use makes managing simple. I didn't have any technical skill but the support team was amazing and fast.
I have used many third party items on other sites but the support I received from CometChat was the best I have ever experienced.
Thanks a lot CometChat team!
