Fin by Intercom vs. Zendesk Sunshine Conversations

It's great for growing companies who need to provide support to their customers or users. We recommend it all the time. If you have frequently asked questions, you can get your customers quick answers without keeping them far away from human support.

Incentivized

Is a cost-effective platform that will help you to have a better communication with your customers and users. Easy to integrate with most common platforms with key reporting features if you care for customer experience. In terms of compliance, does a great job on the ability to check customer data and where is stored, for GDPR this was a key feature.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Connects all customer data
• Easy to connect
• Easy to use reporting

• Customizing Fin by Intercom's escalation paths could be easier (ex. if there are some inquiries we don't want passed to the human team)
• Reporting on conversations handled to completion by Fin by Intercom (not just those that are marked as "resolved")
• It would be helpful to be able to indicate to Fin by Intercom when an answer is wrong, or train it on things that it shouldn't do (not only what it should do)

Incentivized

• Support for special characters (ñ and accents)
• Better integration with exsiting tickets in ZenDesk
• Android App is lacking
• Support for mobile browsers
• Support for iOS devices

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.

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.

works perfect

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.

Easy to know the learning path

The implementation was surprisingly easy but we are having to adapt from our old process to work well with Intercom.

Fin by Intercom definitely knows our platform better and can have more value by recommending content by following along with our conversations. ChatGPT is more supplemental and better at learning our voices and tones to make conversations sound like us. ChatGPT is also helpful when it's not specific to our business.

First and foremost, we are able to send responses quicker. In the past, a team member had to go out every morning and share queries. That meant we would take almost 24 hours to respond. Now with Zendesk Sunshine, we had automated the conversations.

Incentivized

• I like how I don't feel like I need to constantly be monitoring support, especially on weekends
• It's great that the user will get some response right away, I just need to hope that the response they do get is good enough if I'm awk

Incentivized

• Overall I have great experience with Zendesk Sunshine Conversations
