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.

Smartsupp is good for every ecommerce with need to answer questions of clients and comunicate with them. A lot of convesations can be automated, so I need less people to do the same work

Pros
Intercom
  • It is very easy to train
  • It does a great job of recommending answers when little context is given.
  • I love the ability to create a snippet to address issues in the moment or in the long term, based on FAQs.

Smartsupp
  • Ability for multi-platform login between Android, Apple IOS, and Windows
  • Much less buggy than our previous Chat provider
  • Ability to see Live and Offline visitors

Cons
Intercom
  • It seems some users really struggle to figure out how to escalate to a human (especially through email).
  • Not excited about how "soft" resolutions still count as resolutions and are paid for. Though some abandoned cases appear to be able to be concluded as "the user got the answer they needed", there are others where they clearly didn't, because they just open up another chat (or even more), trying to get more info. This pads the resolution stats and makes it seem more effective than it actually is.
  • Cost -- Fin is quite expensive. It helps us with scaling coverage, but we're not really saving money.

  • I wish we would be able to check ip adresses so we can link the chats so companies before they fill out a contact form

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
Intercom
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.

Customer response has been much better.In the past, the conversion rate for our services has been very low, probably due to poor UI/UX.But considering that we were still getting a certain number of conversions, we believe that the demand from users was very strong.With the addition of the chat function, we now have a point of contact with customers who had not converted.

Intercom
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.

Fin far surpasses these other options in platform features and capabilities. Fin allows for side-by-side use by both the Marketing and Support teams, while none of the other similar products did that well. Most platforms are designed for one or the other, not both.

All the features found in other programs in Smartsupp are brought together. In addition, the price offer is attractive, and the multitude of selection of options and possible add-ons is very large and tailored to different thresholds, so everyone should choose an offer perfectly suited to their needs. I haven't had the need to use support, so it's hard for me to judge, but the very fact that I haven't had to do so probably speaks well for it.

Return on Investment
Intercom
  • 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.
