Intercom missing the merging option, it's way easier but the merging is very important. However, Zendesk is little bit old fashion and not modern like Intercom

Intercom! The best chat application
Intercom offers really good and consistent application for our clients to talk to us. Chat support is the fastest way to contact us and intercom has made it happen.
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.

Great tool for customer support
March 03, 2023
Excellent tool to provide great customer experience
It was a difficult comparision but we sticked to Intercom because of the overall chat interface that it provides. On top of that, Intercom has a great appstore to integrate the products that we were using earlier.

Personalize Your Communication: Unleashing Intercom's Customizability for Improved User Experience

Amazing
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 - very good
Although very different, both products are exceptional on what they do
February 13, 2023
Best support solution on the market. Not perfect, tough.
Intercom has more features and is way easier to use and setup.

Intercom makes workflow easier
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 .

Powerful and fast for modern teams

Yes, you can be in love with a system!
Intercom is much easier to use. Even though HubSpot's Support hub is a fairly new feature, it lacks so much. It is quite complicated to use and lacks many features that Intercom can offer just for the focus of customer service.

Using Intercom in a coaching company.
The intercom interface is really smooth and easy to use! The support is available, and always really happy to help.

Intercom - Everything you need and more!
Intercom was the first platform we tried, and we loved 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.

A game-changing approach to elevating our customer comms
I have not used any.

Providing Support with Real Human Touch Thanks to Intercom
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 ...

Intercom is a top tier front office comms platform.
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.
Does not allow for live chat, only bot-driven resources based on keyword algorithms
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.

Intercom is every start-up/scale-ups friend.
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!

Is there anything better than Intercom? Can't imagine my day without it.
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.
