Overall Satisfaction with Intercom
Intercom is used across our entire organization to manage customer support issues. It allows us to communicate in real-time with customers to identify, diagnose and resolve issues. We also use Intercom to automate communication on components of our onboarding process.
Pros
- Support.
- Automation of messages.
- Integrates well with other tools.
- Simple set-up.
Cons
- Ticket management for product requests or bugs.
- Improved customer satisfaction.
- Faster ticket handling.
- Reduced communication overhead - less emails!
We have evaluated Zendesk multiple times, however, ultimately, their lack of support for React-based apps meant that the cost of setup was not going to be worth it for us.
Zendesk also appears to be a number of products that have been haphazardly glued together rather than a single cohesive solution.
It does, however, seem better suited for complex ticket management situations, that involve coordination across multiple teams - i.e. support and engineers.

Using Intercom
3 - We use Intercom primarily for chat support with our customers.
2 - Once set up, Intercom requires very little in the way of technical know-how to get set up and running properly. The main skillset required is an understanding of the workflows you are looking to implement to deliver customer support.
- Chat support
- Product explainers
- Product updates
- Using macros to automatically populate replies to common questions
- Hosting how to articles
- Sending customer update emails
