Zendesk has a limitation in integrating the conversation for the same user in different platforms, which is solved in Intercom, as the same user can continue chatting with our agents from different platforms, or browser without losing any history of the conversation.

Intercom has a way better UI and ease of access for both internal and external users. Intercom is also a much better program for customer engagement whereas Zendesk is suited to more traditional customer support. However, the business model of customer support is evolving and we are along with it.

Intercom feels light and easy to use. It makes the workflow of the agent much better as all you need is built onto one page. Salesforce often feels heavy, you need to action many steps before closing a case . Client information is stored far away and you have to visit several pages before you access it .

Intercom has all the options centralized in one space and gives us more information about the work done. It's the best option to chats with clients so far, it's possible to integrate with other apps, and it's easy for the client to ask for and receive information. The other apps are all very good, but Intercom has a learning machine system that improves day by day.

We chose the Intercom because of its human touch during the conversations. Other reasons were features and usability of the Messenger tool which our users' use in 90% of cases. The Zendesks chat is not good. Very hard to use. Doesn't have the necessary features ...

The differentiator for my organization was IBM Watson integration capabilities. We are eager to utilize chatbot, virtual agent, and live agent capabilities. Intercom is also very easy to use with a low code user interface and robust user guides, videos, and other training materials.

We chose Intercom because the tool has many more options and many other ways it supports our support, customer success and product teams so it is a better all in one tool. It also has better integrations and looks better in the product. It allows for us to communicate with our customers directly when they are in the platform.

I implemented Zendesk at a previous organization where we actually moved away from Intercom. I greatly preferred Intercom for functionality, ease of use, and even reliability for our websites and in-platform live chat widget. We moved to ZenDesk to have a streamlined ticketing system between our Customer Service, Account Management, Product, and tech support teams for user issues. We didn't feel this was worth the migration and did regret the change to Zendesk, as Intercom was a more scalable solution, especially as we moved into new markets, and Intercom is just more straightforward!

We used Zendesk at my last company and don't use ZD at all at my current company. Our customers love love love our fast, bot-fee cs/help. You can set up bots in Intercom, but we only use automated routing. We like to give a human touch. We haven't yet exploited the ability to serve customers relevant articles, but that might be useful to you as your scale your CS ops.
