Overall Satisfaction with Intercom

In our organization, we use Intercom to deal with customer support tasks. We also use the proactive message combined with Workflow and are fans of the tag to track broader issues, customer feedback, and feature requests. We only use have conversations and not tickets because we are a small company and that suits us the best. Our helpcenter is also connected to Intercom and is a great resource of information.
  • Manage conversations with customers in a simply and accessible manner for both the CS team and the customer
  • Great help center feature
  • Macros are particularly helpful
  • Workflows are still somehow hard to use at first. Especially find a meaningful way for the business to use them.
  • FIN still has room for improvement, especially in the multilanguage accuracy.
  • Proactive answers triggered by user behavior could be improved to include more behaviors
  • Bulk exporting all the help center articles can be done only via API.
It immediately feels very natural and familiar to use Intercom. Plus points for the Dark mode really appreciated. I like the note feature and I like the Hubspot integration. I like the quicklinks and I like to have customer data on the right sidebar. Overall is just a better experience for the customer compared to an asynchronous system
We mainly integrate 2 other tools on Intercom. Satismater for our CSAT score and Hubspot for sales support and leads. This worked great so far and we are very very happy about these 2 integrations. I am not sure if it counts but also the integration via quick links with our own platform works nicely.

Do you think Intercom delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Intercom's feature set?

Yes

Did Intercom live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Intercom go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Intercom again?

Yes

Intercom is a no-brainer for small teams and overall is very nice to have a very human way to interact with the customers using the familiarity of a chat like it was a normal conversation. I would love to see the use of AI for phone calls and it should still improve with the Fin AI editor. Currently is still feels worse than just using ChatGPT.
