Overall Satisfaction with Intercom

We use Intercom for reactive and proactive support. We need to be able to consistently and effectively communicate with our customers and make it simple and easy for them to reach out to us. We were using a different product that made it hard to filter our proactive messages effectively and didn't have as much functionality and our customers weren't having a great experience. We switched to Intercom to better create multiple campaigns, like product updates and onboarding paths.
  • Ability to filter audience
  • Very spiffy proactive support tools
  • User friendly interface
  • Excellent communications about Intercom product updates
  • I don't handle this directly, so take this with a grain of salt, but it seems like the integration process can be intense just based on second hand information
  • Would love to see some Hubspot integration!
  • Lower touch onboarding
  • Better customer experience for our customers
I find it easy and intuitive to navigate and I think it's pretty easy to find answers when I get stuck. I think there's been a lot of effort on creating webinars and things where customers get a view of what's new and what's coming and insight into industry trends which I LOVE.
Right now we don't have any of our other tech stack integrated with Intercom. We will likely connect to Jira and would love to connect to Hubspot if we can. Maybe Slack as well. We're pretty slim with our tech to ensure we're not unnecessarily spending, so when we use something it has to have tons of value.
I don't see it in the list but we were using Gleap prior to gaining Intercom. It's functionality was suuuuuper limited in comparison. It was like the kindergarten version of Intercom if that makes sense.

Did Intercom live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Intercom go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Intercom again?

Yes

It can help reduce the need for increased staffing by creating proactive support that helps customers in the moment. The scenario I think might not be the best option is for sales and marketing but that's because it's designed for support.
