ADAPT Software Applications, Inc.
We have been using Adapt for almost a year or more and it is the best CRM solution and has helped us in saving our time and also in finding various contacts from our LinkedIn connections. It enabled us to grow our network by connecting us to the market for our products. when it comes to its price its subscription rate is quite high and it gets buggy sometimes.

Any company should be able to implement Fin and start seeing some results straight away. The 0% - 10/15% resolution benchmark is easily able to be done using the existing conversation history. Once you want to start seeing higher resolution rates you need to give Fin the ability to solve conversations with similar tools to what your team use. This means taking advantage of Fin Tasks, utilising their MCP features to connect Fin to other tools, taking advantage of Procedures so that Fin is able to resolve conversations in the order that you expect it to. This all takes a considerable amount of time, so to see "results" here, you need to also invest by moving resourcing so that someone is always working on making Fin better. But it's not a slogan, AI is the future of customer service, not because we want to speak to our customers less but because we want to free up our team so they can spend time with our customers on the issues that actually require dedicated attention.

Pros
ADAPT Software Applications, Inc.
  • It provides a nice, single package of multiple features as in all in one solution business program. It can be used to help run many operations in an organization.
  • ADAPTcrm provides a fairly robust interface that can be individually tailored to each user, making it a bit more personable.
  • The program can be linked into other systems like Outlook which can alleviate the need for manual entry of contacts.

  • It is very easy to train
  • It does a great job of recommending answers when little context is given.
  • I love the ability to create a snippet to address issues in the moment or in the long term, based on FAQs.

Cons
ADAPT Software Applications, Inc.
  • Sometimes in the middle of work, it logs us out and it needs to be fixed as it is annoying.

Intercom
  • It seems some users really struggle to figure out how to escalate to a human (especially through email).
  • Not excited about how "soft" resolutions still count as resolutions and are paid for. Though some abandoned cases appear to be able to be concluded as "the user got the answer they needed", there are others where they clearly didn't, because they just open up another chat (or even more), trying to get more info. This pads the resolution stats and makes it seem more effective than it actually is.
  • Cost -- Fin is quite expensive. It helps us with scaling coverage, but we're not really saving money.

We have been and will be continuing our journey with Intercom and nothing too concerning has happened that I have experienced or heard of that has us on the edge yet. If it ever happens it will be something along the lines of "Outgrowing" the use of need of the platform.

Usability

Adapt CRM is the perfect tool for everyone looking for the solution to manage customer relations. It has proved itself as a time saver and we can focus on other parts of our organization too without any compromise on our customer relations. It has many features for customization. Additionally, its customer service is so good and helpful and unlike other software of this kind, we have found it quite user-friendly.

Fin is extremely user friendly and was very easy to set up, and this is coming from someone who has never used any technology like this before. Fin was easy to customise to the way we wanted this to be, set up specific messages to our customers through Fin, customise the tone and content used as well as configure Fin's handovers to a human when required

Intercom is the premier customer support/engagement model and it definitely has one of the top tier customer support teams as well. I don't think I have ever waited more than 5 minutes to get the information I need or get help with an issue. They are incredible and I aim to model our customer service department after them.

Alternatives Considered
ADAPT Software Applications, Inc.
ADAPTcrm is a bit different than other programs with similar feature sets. It offers a more well-rounded set of features that can be beneficial for an organization looking for an in all-in-one solution without much customization. On the other hand, if customization or changes are needed, the costs can be increased greatly with the need for developers or support from the company. Some CRM solutions may require a great deal of programming which ADAPTcrm does not necessarily need, potentially saving a great deal of time in implementation.

I've tried several AI chatbots before when using Zendesk. We found that the native Zendesk AI was expensive, but the best compared to "alternatives" such as Chatbase, My AskAI, and Macha. Then, we decided to switch over to Intercom for the startup program. WOW!!! Fin blows away any other AI bot on the market. Even if you're not using Intercom as a platform (you should), I highly recommend you use Fin. We've never had this high of CSAT or resolution with an AI bot before; our customers love Fin

  • New role opportunities — Using the “Fin-first” approach has reduced the workload for our Tier 1 team, giving them more time to focus on their own career growth. It’s also opened the door to a dedicated, AI-focused role, where a team member regularly reviews Fin’s answers and makes updates to help it perform even better.
  • Enabling Fin has also reduced our response time and allowed us to meet SLA's.
