Additional Details
AI customer service features included in every plan.
Intercom integrates Help desk, AI Chat bot, and Proactive support.
The only other platform of similar function we use is Guru. That we are using for our internal knowledge base. As to why we selected Intercom, I had no input into that decision. I believe we chose Intercom as our primary service due to its reasonable price and multitude of …
I don't see it in the list but we were using Gleap prior to gaining Intercom. It's functionality was suuuuuper limited in comparison. It was like the kindergarten version of Intercom if that makes sense.
Unlike Zendesk, Intercom has done it right, and continues to do so. Don't underestimate how important this is, we are many out in the market that feels this way
Intercom is a lot smoother and has more integration ability. It's macro features are a lot easier to navigate and control as well. The help center is also a huge bonus and the way it integrates into the chat is a lot less stressful to put together and utilize. Intercom makes …
I tried Drift, Chili Piper, etc.
This one seems to be the lowest in customer service
We chose it for the AI capabilities, but that is very expensive and the ROI has yet to prove itself.
Beats them all in my opinion, Intercom's ease of use and intuitive design cannot be beat compared to others. We had a look at both Zendesk and Freshchat in the past and we saw very quickly that we're already using the best tool for the job. My only "complaint" would be the cost …
We use this product with other products, but I enjoy using Intercom for our product as it's way more functional and easier to use than other platforms. I was not involved in the direct choice of using this platform, but I am happy with the decision as it is very easy for this …
Customerly had a better chat widget design and easier to understand management screen, but it didn't have Japanese support, so I chose Intercom. I have used Zendesk in the past and considered it, but I decided to use Intercom because it was difficult to segment users and …
ManyChat does not permit i use a chatbot on my site, and Botpress don't permit a agent on the loop when i'm looking for a chatbot, i'm needing one with the possiblitie to change the conversation to a live person from bot. Intercom helps me in these and on a lot of other features
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.
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.
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.
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.
