Gladly CX Platform vs. Fin by Intercom

Any business that has a customer base could benefit from Gladly. If you call, text, social media message, etc Gladly can do all of these functions and keeps all of these conversations easily located so that you can refer back to previous conversations. The ability to leave notes on the account is very helpful.

It's great for a web-enabled tool, so there is immediate ability to give feedback or ask questions. It isn't as easy to set up a desktop application as it would require more coding experience. Some older users are skeptical of its abilities, and that it is taking away from customer service, but in our use, it enhances it - that is a tough barrier to breach.

• Easy to use interface. Supporting customers is as easy as texting a friend.
• True Omnichannel support system where all channels live on the same screen without the need to hop between applications.
• Built-in knowledgebase (Answers) reducing team member ramp time and providing a template for consistent solutions for our customers.

• Answering simply queries that can be gotten from information in our help articles - powering self-serve for our customers.
• Helping us triage and analyse customer queries by understanding key custom attributed of a conversation and key data points to help us route customers to the right team.
• Through automation, helping our teammate be more quick and efficient in resolution times and SLAs.

• When you cannot merge the customers' accounts
• When the emails arrive with a delay
• In the way we cannot edit or delete notes

• If I can see that our Fin involvement/resolution rate has increased in one week, it would be great to see the theme of conversations it's resolving, rather than having to dig around to see why there was an increase.
• Sometimes the hand-over functionality doesn't work as well as it could, and often Fin errs on the side of resolving the conversation (which I understand because we're charged per resolution), but this can be frustrating to have to sift through and dig these customers back out.

Gladly meets all our expectations and continues to provide a see less transaction

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.

In my 10+ years in the call center industry this has been by far one of the user friendly platform to use. It has been an easy tool to use and train new hires with that is self explanatory and not complicated at all for a agent level employee. Overall platform is easy to read and navigate.

The usability of Fin by Intercom is intuitive and easy to use. When I used it for the first time, it didn’t take me long to understand how the platform works and how to set things up. It also provided helpful guidance, and there is a Fin bot that you can use to learn more about the platform and ask questions.

Gladly is always available to support its customers. That being said, we really haven’t needed support. The product is intuitive and stable. The reality is the support we receive is more collaboration on how we can help Gladly continue to revolutionize this space.

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.

The implementation was surprisingly easy but we are having to adapt from our old process to work well with Intercom.

First of all, the ease of the platform, the way it helps us to make our job faster as they have the customer information on the left of our screenand we have it linked to Shopify. The fact that this program has helped our productivity is amazing, and also, during peak season, it Gladly CX Platform makes the days go faster and easier.

Fin definitely stacks up pretty much at the same level when it comes to leveraging the input data KB to address customer queries. However reporting flexibility is something missing compared to the two mentioned platforms. The categorization of issues is much easier and accurate making it further analysis less time intensive. Why we selected Finis a difficult question for me to answer as the above platforms are from my previous company and when I moved to my current role Fin was already in place.
