Ideagen
Ideagen OnePlace Solutions is well suited to a legal matter management system with shared access, but less useful for saving to personal OneDrives. It can sometimes suggest irrelevant folders within personal OneDrives in preference of more commonly used shared folders. However this can be narrowed with a search.

It's a far superior AI offering compared to other options on the market. The lack of Dev support needed in the setup and management is a huge bonus as well. intercom is clearly investing in Fin, and the constant development and opportunity to be Beta testers keep us ahead in the industry too.

  • Loading of our file structure can often be slow

Intercom
  • I would like to see a report of the difference between chat and email reactions.
  • When using Fin for email support, it can sometimes overrespond in email threads that involve multiple people. It may react to replies from other participants and send unnecessary responses. This also happens when colleagues are included in the email thread, causing Fin to keep replying to their messages as well.
  • It’s not possible to remove Fin’s replies in individual email threads, which makes it difficult to stop the bot from responding when it’s no longer needed (unless you manually reply again).

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
Ideagen
I found it a little clunky at first, and there were teething issues with implementing into SharePoint. However, it required minimal staff training and requires little maintenance to fulfil our needs.

It's pretty simple to implement. Naturally, there are some processes that are complex, but it's a naturally complex task that it's trying to tackle, so that is understandable. Occasionally it's not clear if one should create a new snippet for a nuanced question vs a custom answer - and then the custom answers can be tough to train.

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.

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.

Return on Investment
Ideagen
  • Allows us to maximise utilisation of a relatively cheap 365 subscription.
  • Replaces the need for a non-365 system. Our previous provider was far more expensive (monthly price was the same as Ideagen OnePlace Solutions annual for our team)

Intercom
  • We've achieved around a 50% resolution rate (and growing) with Fin by Intercom
