Likelihood to Recommend Well suited for real time customer support needs - that's where it really shines. Well suited for proactive outreach and the ability to gather feedback from customers + surveys. Less appropriate for a non techie company to set it up, basically any sort of changes in integration have to be done by an engineer.
Read full review JangoMail is only good for sending mass email and nothing more. While its interface is simple to use, it doesn't have a good amount of features attached to it. That probably explains why it's quite cheap compared to other mailing services. It's lacking features and additional functionalities. It's a cheap alternative mainly for sending mass email though, which is nice for a company that sells product to consumers like us.
Read full review Pros Intercom's ability to centralize customer communication is a game-changer. Intercom's automation features have saved us time and streamlined workflows. Help desk for users. Intercom seamlessly integrates with a variety of other tools and platforms, enhancing its functionality and making it a central part of our tech stack. Read full review The platform is inexpensive. Their support people are very nice. Read full review Cons The AI tools should have a make shorter option The research is difficult compared to other platforms such as Zendesk where it is easier to find stuff (accounts, emails, messages...) I know that you could integrate better AI tools! The chatbot is amazing, so I'm just missing more AI tools to increase productivity Read full review So far I haven't had any troubles, or problems with JangoMail. I'd love to just paste a WORD doc into the HTML window, but I am not going to risk having the links broken. So I preformat my copy with the long links and then insert them in the HTML window and make them look pretty. JangoMail's "add additional fields" in the into the body of the email is not very transparent, but when you add additional features and that depth of functionally then there is going to be a higher learning curve. I have not explored all of their tutorials.....and they have a great blog to explore also. This is not a big thing but maybe a clock could be installed to show that the email is being sent and that there is x amount of time until the "report" is ready to view. There is a no man's land time that as a user you are not sure if the mail got delivered or is being delivered. Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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.
Read full review It satisfied the basic purpose for which my company bought the license. No complaints there.
Read full review Usability Everything is very straightforward and easy to see, explore, and use. Intercom provides walkthroughs and helps guides in case something is not apparent to the user and has their agents available to help. I always feel confident when exploring new features or making changes that I can have it accomplished due to the service they provide.

Read full review Support Rating 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.

Read full review Implementation Rating The implementation was surprisingly easy but we are having to adapt from our old process to work well with Intercom.
Read full review Alternatives Considered We've used both Drift and
Salesforce chat at Owl Labs in the past, and I didn't find them to meet our needs or customer needs the way Intercom has been able to. Intercom ranks higher for us regarding Integrations offered, customization, AI functionality, and user-friendliness. In the past, if chat visitors would click around our website, they'd have to start their chat over again from the start and lose their communication history with us. We also found that
Salesforce chat did not have enough customization that we needed. One small example is that in Intercom, you can see when another teammate is looking at a chat and tag them in notes to collaborate. We didn't have access to anything like that when using
Salesforce chat. Intercom has made it easy to work alongside one another to be more efficient.
Read full review I selected JangoMail because I wanted to try something new. Usually I find myself using YAMM which is Yet Another Mail Merge but using a new interface was refreshing and it was also very easy to learn and use. I would definitely use it again in the future and recommend to others
Read full review Return on Investment I like how easy it is to spot the user data needed to assist our members. Love how easy it is to link articles on the chat that will help both us and the customers. I like that the sales force or the tickets is already connected on the chat Read full review Sending mass mails so consumers can get an update on our newly released products Quite inexpensive so we don't have to break bank for this Lack of functionalities and features is a downside which caused more manual works Read full review ScreenShots
