Fin comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee. Here's how it works:
Use Fin in at least 250 conversations within the first 90 days after trial. If you're not satisfied, you can request a refund of up to $1M. Refund requests must be submitted within 90 days of starting the subscription.
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.
I think Fin by Intercom AI is amazing at answering the simple queries for customers. If you have the content to support the answers, you could reliably allow it to cover those topics with almost no errors. This is great for giving more time to teammates, and allowing 24/7 support. I also this Fin by Intercom AI isn't too bad (but need improvements) on allowing/linking to teammate support together with AI support. We have some issues, but overall, Fin by Intercom does actively allow offers and routing to humans, rather than a rigid AI/bot only experience. That said, especially if you have a complicated product or service, I wouldn't recommend Fin by Intercom AI to be the only support option. Its not quite there that I'd want it to let loose without a person standing by. Also, I'd say, its a product that needs at least one person learning/optimising it. Fin by Intercom needs maintaining, so it can't just be left to its on devices as of yet.
Ability identify the issue from limited information shared by the customer
Clearly communicate the resolution leveraging the knowledgebase input
The resolution by Fin is very detailed and calls out all the possible solutions to the problem helping the customer identify the right fix
Fin is constantly learning from the past instances and leveraging into present and future issue resolution and thereby able to provide a good customer experience
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 really has all the information needed about a customer that you would need.If gladly does have a specified space for specific information you can add notes in multiple locations to remind you self of special circumstances. 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.
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/Intercom has a much better UI and feels more integrated than Zendesk. The reporting is also much more straight forward - using something like Zendesk Explore is painful and feels like I'm using something 10 old. FIN also integrates better with other products, and we've been able to create custom apps/widgets using the Intercom Canvas app far quicker than we could with Zendesk.
