GoSquared
1) Maintaining customer relationships - GS just makes it so easy to respond to our users who use our product more from a tactical point of view 2) Onboarding - I think it's more or less an extension of the first point above but GS does make it easy for us to onboard new clients who are sort of beginners.

Intercom
Intercom is an excellent tool for client communication. It’s intuitive and supports various formats such as emails, posts, and banners, which are especially useful for sharing important updates like maintenance notices. Having all communication channels in one place makes it efficient and reliable for keeping clients informed and engaged. I gave 9 because I never used any other tool

Pros

  • You can always directly communicate with your customers by integrating another component to your site.

Intercom
  • Detailed reports for chat, other support tools focus too much on tickets, it doesn't work for us
  • Snoozed, being able to postpone some conversations without necessarily having to turn them into a ticket, Intercom's focus on chat (real-time service) is the biggest reason we don't want to change tools
  • The range of apps helps a lot, today there are 2 apps that particularly help us a lot, which are the video recording app and the one with wootric.
  • Relatórios detalhados para chat, outras ferramentas de suporte focam muito em ticket, para nós não funciona
  • Snoozed, poder adiar algumas conversas sem precisar necessariamente transformar em ticket, o foco em chat (atendimento em tempo real) do Intercom é o maior motivo de não querermos trocar de ferramenta
  • A amplitude de apps ajudam muito, hoje tem 2 apps que particularmente nos ajudam muito que é o de gravação de vídeos e o com o wootric

Cons
GoSquared
  • CloudFlare integration is spotty - stats in Cloudflare (tracks also Javascript off visits) and GoSquared stats are often significantly at odds
  • Notifications don't seem to work very well
  • Dashboard likes to re-set itself even when it was arranged & saved previously
  • Weekly/ Monthly/ Yearly absolute numbers

Intercom
  • It would be great to have the ability to add rule-based tagging automations instead of using the workflows.
  • For users new to the platform, creating integrations via Github and the native "back-office" or "customer tickets" can be confusing.
  • Intercom cannot export reports or share reports with users who are not in Intercom. And if it is available, it's not apparent.

Not only does the GoSquared application work well, the GoSquared team is constantly making improvements. When I first started using GoSquared, they only offered daily reporting -- now they offer the weekly and monthly feature per popular request. I like that they are always updating the look and feel of the website and emails they send to maintain a modern look. GoSquared is easy to implement and easy to use!

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.

The transition from AI to human is seamless. This is from my experience of contacting Intercom for help and your use of Fin AI. We currently do not have the scale for Fin AI, but it is under consideration for the near future. Outside of Fin AI for our use case, bots and automation have made it easier to direct users to the correct knowledge materials and made the transition to human support seamless when needed.

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.

GoSquared
Google Analytics is massively bloated and can be difficult to configure, navigate and understand. While GoSquared doesn't provide the feature set that Google Analytics does it focuses on providing the best experience for the features it does offer. If you just want to know who is visiting your website and when then GoSquared is a simple way of tracing this information.

Intercom
The intercom is more intuitive and provides easier management and personalization of our conversations. It's been a while since I used Zendesk, so this might have changed, but Intercom provides a bigger catalog of functionality targeted to product marketing, such as emails, in-app banners, pop-ups, and, overall, outbound communications.
