    We use Fin for chat and phones and AgentForce for email. I'll say Fin was much, much easier to set up and evolve. I'd choose email with Fin if I had the option to pivot. I'd also say Fin comes out with new features all the time and Salesforce doesn't evolve as fast.

    In terms of AI, Fin beats Zendesk 10 out of 10 times. There isn't even room for comparison. In terms of the help center customization options, Zendesk beats Fin. As mentioned, Fin doesn't invest enough and doesn't really seem to care about their help center features, so that is …

    Fin was chosen because of its product's readiness for AI implementation. Its AI was much more advanced and operational, offered significant benefits, and was quickly adopted by the team. Fin met the improvements we needed to grow our support operations.

    Fin by Intercom vs. Zendesk/Salesforce - Fin by Intercom is often cheaper at low-to-mid volumes because it has a lower base platform fee (starting around $29–$39/seat). However, Zendesk AI and Salesforce Agentforce can be more predictable for massive enterprises because they …

    I can't think of anything off the top of my head regarding less appropriate. However, this product is very customizable. I think with some improvement in reporting it could be better, however, I would recommend due to these types of things. I love the knowledge base and creating those help centers. I would say that it is fairly easy to set up, but once you set it up, not really knowing all the things, it's hard to go back and change, so it would be nice to have an overall idea of guidance prior to the original setup that can just be improved over time.

    • I wish I could pull reports on the conversations that have been closed.
    • I wish I could tag fin categories in addition to our live help desk conversations so I can get a good read on the types of questions users are asking.

    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

    Intuitive is a very accurate descriptor. Features do not seem to be hidden by poor UI. Things are usually where you would expect them to be, and the UI has been designed to make it pleasant to work within the platform. The platform also scales really well. Both small and large organizations can achieve a great return on investment by using it.

    I can get help by asking Fin questions about itself. It answers accurately, citing its own Help Center resources with visuals. It can reason and dialogue well. But when it comes to getting human support for Fin, it is not as quick. It can sometimes take a few days. They are polite and well-meaning. Some things aren't their fault (product limitations), but there was one occasion where something took a long time to resolve with lots of back and forth but it was I who found out the error in the end that they missed, so they didn't really help resolve it.

    • New role opportunities — Using the “Fin-first” approach has reduced the workload for our Tier 1 team, giving them more time to focus on their own career growth. It’s also opened the door to a dedicated, AI-focused role, where a team member regularly reviews Fin’s answers and makes updates to help it perform even better.
    • Enabling Fin has also reduced our response time and allowed us to meet SLA's.
