Intercom vs. Pure360

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.

Good for bulk email campaigns to multiple contacts, e.g. Newsletters. It's easy to set up a template, schedule send (including intelligent sending) and then has good reporting functionality.The heat map tool is great and general reporting was easy to follow, although could be easier for exporting.

• 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

• Uptime - the server has gone done before when an email had just been sent out which meant that recipients could not click on links
• Automation add-on was extremely expensive considering the additional capabilities it was adding
• Login process - every time I logged in had to use an authorization email. Good security, but unnecessary for EVERY SINGLE login
• No auto-save or save button in the email builder - would have to click off the screen to save, which meant that if the window crashed, there was no way to rescue work. All it needs is a save button!

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 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
