Piper the AI SDR is perfect for a global marketing team who wants to have greater control over conversations that are happening on the website. She does an excellent job of qualifying leads and getting meetings booked. In addition she does an excellent job routing people to support and away from sales if that is not an area they are interested. There aren't many areas we have found Piper to be not appropriate. As we continue to hone in and improve her capabilities.

Pros
Intercom
  • The ability to control who and where Fin engages through Workflows.
  • It can be a one-size-fits-all for your volume, or you can control the audience/topics that Fin will be active in.
  • Pricing is negotiable, and while you contract to a minimum, there aren't severe penalties for overages.

Cons
Intercom
  • Simplified answers for different products/tiers. It handles this but not easily
  • Ability to ask Copilot questions without being in a conversation
  • Provide users with a more obvious prompt to watch a help video if there's a help resource that directly answers their question

  • Piper the AI SDR can get tripped up when someone asks a question we weren't prepared for. Example Does the webinar cost money? Of course not but we didn't specifically put anywhere that it doesn't, and she can get confused
  • Piper the AI SDR can sometimes get overzealous and try do things she isn't able to like help someone download an ebook
  • There are some trigger limitations for email but we are aware it is on the features roadmap

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

FIN is extremely capable and the UI is very intuitive. There are some things that involve using Data Connectors - for example there's a FIN workflow for when a customer creates a ticket but it doesn't give you access to the Ticket ID. You have to create a data connector to fetch that data - just seems a little convoluted.

Overall it's a great product with new features coming out quarterly. With the help from our CSM the setup time was quick and painless and we were able to seamless transition our sales team out of qualified. We immediately saw a simplification in terms of the amount of upkeep our operations team had to do to keep branch tree logic updated and could then pivot to just focusing on improving our responses within Piper the AI SDR.

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.

In my experience, what Intercom has done with Fin by Intercom is far more innovative and forward thinking than other tools I've used. It's intuitive, easy, and they are always releasing new things to make Fin by Intercom even more powerful.

We chose Qualified over their competitors because of our interactions with their team and the product. Their team made it feel like this was a partnership and that we weren't just some other customer. Implementation was fast and the tool is very user-friendly. Their customer support is next level and we really appreciate that. All in all, we love their implementation time and great service

  • I like how I don't feel like I need to constantly be monitoring support, especially on weekends
