Fin by Intercom vs. YetiForce CRM

Fin by Intercom is well-suited for handling basic questions, especially for smaller teams that don’t have the time or resources to fully train it. That said, it’s easy to see how much more powerful Fin could be with proper guidance, training, and well-developed content in place.

YetiForceCRM is warmly recommended for any enterprise with the need for a solid, reliable CRM system without the typical high costs attached. It is not suitable for companies without a strong IT support due to its server requirements and lack of documentation that requires experimentation to some extent. A cloud-based system would be more suitable in this scenario.

• Serves as the first point of interaction.
• Answers questions based on the knowledge base.
• Tries to suggest a solution for reported issues (in some cases).
• Gives the option to improve its answer.
• Learns from other conversations and replies by humans.
• Understands other languages.

• Setting up workflows are not easy to do and have some limited scope
• Making repeated suggestions should be easier to contain
• It would be great if it could identify other tickets that may have similar issues or identify Linear or Jira tickets that may be relevant
• Prevent service agents from making duplicate customers of the same name or even close misspelled names - it makes for very dirty data
• Make suggestions for tagging conversations to rely less on the agents to do clean up

Incentivized

• Lack of documentation
• No auto updates
• Server requirements

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.

I think Intercom and Fin by Intercom AI is pretty intuitive and user-friendly. I think, touching on already mentioned topics, that Fin by Intercom AI could be a little more intuitive in conversations especially when allowing customers to be routed to a person. Also, have to be honest, the search features (e.g. Inbox searches) and reports could be made more intuitive. Also, while I appreciate how fast Intercom changes, I have found that sometimes options or feature just move or change without warning. This can make things a little confusing if you get used to a particular way of working or using a feature.

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 initially used Dixa Mim Bot, which is a far inferior chatbot and AI system. It felt like they were behind the curve compared to Intercom, with slow progress and little investment in the future of the Bot. It was very basic in its capabilities and needed more Dev support to manage.

The two reasons we have decided towards YetiForceCRM were its price (free) and the customization options (almost unlimited). The other CRM systems come with a price tag but still have many features left out. On the other hand, YetiForceCRM gives us the option of custom modules resulting in full control of our data and workflows.
