Intercom vs. Leanplum

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.

I think Leanplum is great for any company that needs to use push notification to drive revenue or KPI growth. I often find that it can be very costly to integrate analytics solutions & also build good reporting from the data. Leanplum provides a lot of great analytics & reporting right out of the box, especially around push events. This makes it much easier for the managing marketing user to optimize campaigns and increase their team & company's KPIs.

• 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.

• Viewing the history of a campaign. Leanplum shows exactly what a customer has been sent on which dates/times and due to which actions.
• AB Testing - allows us to see which messages are appreciated/opened more by which customers
• Team collaboration - we can see easily how recently a campaign or message was updated

• 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

• Ability to create User Stories with a predefined funnel of actions that will chain themselves
• Ability to tag users once they enter or leave specific segments
• Should show in a simple page the main KPIS that matter for all our games at once
• More granularity in granting access to subsets (not sharing everything per account)

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was not a part of making the decision to use Leanplum over its competitors.

• 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

• It helps us build the right features for our users with the help of A/B experimentation
• Re-engagement notifications help us keep company data metrics
