"Best!"
What do you like best about Intercom?

The macro features and the idea is great. It makes life easier.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

I need easier options to access more people quicker. The notes section could be a little bit better. Sometimes it starts laying when opening other conversations within other conversations on the right side.

What problems is Intercom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reaching out to people is much easier. We have a company that includes contacting other users on a daily basis and it is sooooo easy to do with intercome. Best so far.

"Powerful product, very simple to use, and a great team are always looking to improve their offering"
What do you like best about Intercom?

Very simple product to configure and use day-to-day. Intercom really understands the core jobs that their customers have to complete and innovate relentlessly around making these more efficient to complete.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

There isn't much not to love about Intercom. The only item that could be a deal-breaker for some businesses is the price of the product. In saying this, if you're able to use the platform to its full capacity, you get your money's worth.

What problems is Intercom solving and how is that benefiting you?

We handle all of our inbound support enquiries through Intercom. This includes using the resolution bot to automate basic queries & triage bots to direct critical queries to the right team.

"Always Ready, Willing and Able to help"

the prompt response from the team, and the consistency of the quality and friendliness of the service no matter who handles your question. I also appreciate that whoever works with you stays on the case beyond the original subject of the original question.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

I wish I was able to have a audit feature to know which one of my users made changes to other users accounts, removed articles, etc

What problems is Intercom solving and how is that benefiting you?

1) providing friendly technical support 2) being able to easily mold the service to leverage bots and work with a small support team 3) being able to access metrics and make quick decisions based on the data available

"Amazing and very complete tool"
What do you like best about Intercom?

Intercom is a very complete tool, that allows Customer Sucess teams to connect to clients and to be better every day. The webinars, blog posts, and academy are very useful, especially when starting working as CS.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

I would love that this new Intercom interface allows outbound messages. Also, the match conversation is not always perfect.

What problems is Intercom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Communication with users, reporting, and improving KPIs.

"It just makes sense"
What do you like best about Intercom?

Everything in one place to address your customer needs immediately where they are--the website, email, text etc. splendid! I really have not used others, so I would say this experience is not rushing me into another product. I am quite enjoying the simplicity and functionality

What do you dislike about Intercom?

Still figuring some of the features out. I am not the developer of the tagging structure or maintenance keeper of our customer list, so my access is relatively limited. I think setting these up right from the start, however, contributes to the success of useability, and I believe all the means to successfully manage a list are streamlined here.

What problems is Intercom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Currently, I'm servicing customer support inquiries and distributing updates via Intercom. It is not integrated with our slack channels, though, I believe it could be. I think most of our team lives in slack, so having them come to Intercom has been a minor item to address. If it were, the expedience in receiving and answering customer questions I think would be solved.

"Great customer communication platform!"

Have been using Intercom for the last 2 or 3 years, it's a great all on one platform for support, sales and for email marketing. The Intercom are also very responsive and are willing to help to resolve all of your issues!

Can't think of anything! Everything has been going well.

What problems is Intercom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our customers have been very happy with the chatbots as well as the ease to communicate via livechat or email fallback.

"Intercom at it's best"
What do you like best about Intercom?

The ticket handling is the best part. Intercom makes it easier to locate professionals and partners using, even a small bit of information. The Quick links are good.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

No additional tag or link in Intercom, regarding current updates made in the Instawork application, and the organization for handling certain tickets, along with any future updates that will be ramped.

What problems is Intercom solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am working pro payments inbox, clock-in, and clock-out. The benefits are locating past conversations for certain tickets to see, how we can assist the members on Intercom. Again, Quick links are a good benefit as well.

"Giving the best customer experience through the help of Intercom"
What do you like best about Intercom?

There is so much to love about Intercom, though generally, this support platform allows our teams to give the best customer experience. As someone from the Sales team, Intercom enables me to win deals through a customer-centric approach!

What do you dislike about Intercom?

1. When I just recently tagged someone, the only time I get to see it in my mentions is if they reply to me. If they haven't replied, I'd have to manually search for the conversation if it wasn't assigned to me. 2. Can't integrate with Facebook pages/messenger seamlessly-there are still some restrictions.

What problems is Intercom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Oh man, there are so many things to love about Intercom! Here are some of my favorite features: 1. Live chat integrated with every page - Compared to other support platforms, Intercom allows us to chat with our customers without having to redirect them to their email. This specific feature allows us to resolve problems, questions, and other inquiries right away and therefore gives us high ratings by the end of every conversation. 2. Saved replies - Most of the time, our customers have the same questions. With saved replies, we are able to answer the customers' questions with just a few keywords! 3. Macros - I love how Intercom keeps improving their system. With the macros, we are able to tag conversations and see what problems we could target. 4. Snoozing - Customers aren't always going to reply within the day, but snoozing allows us to follow up with them whenever! 5. Tagging other teammates - This feature allows me to communicate with my teammates and other business units for a faster transaction.

"A great asset for our email campaigns"
What do you like best about Intercom?

Intercom recently moved their emails from campaigns to series. There was a little learning curve getting used to the series function, but it has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for us in terms of communicating with our customers. We are excited to use this function and grow our email series for all of our customers.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

Searching for a specific email in a series is a little tricky. It would be nice to have a search feature so we could type in the name of the email or a keyword to find a specific email. Or have more sorting options when looking for a specific emails series.

What problems is Intercom solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to easily build audiences that can connect us with specific audiences in our emailing lists. It is great being able to really drill down who our audience is and who we want to reach when sending emails and email series.

"Intercom helps me respond timely to leads, provide assistance to customers, and automate processes."
What do you like best about Intercom?

The feature I love using most is the custom bot to qualify leads, and I'm really impressed by the way Intercom seamlessly integrates with some apps like Calendly. This has helped us qualify leads and let only the leads that fit a certain criteria see a Calendly prompt to book a call with our sales manager, which has made life a lot easier.. We don't have to be online all the time to help someone book a call and guide them anymore. I also like how I choose who gets to see what, I could set up a banner, for example, and choose for it to be only visible to users and not to leads/visitors. Similarly, I could customize the messenger to allow users to send us a direct message, but restrict leads/visitors to go through the custom bot first so we could qualify them. I like that level of control and this customization helps create different paths to deal with leads and users differently. One other feature I've recently started using is the custom attributes in outbound emails, so you could, for example, send a reactivation email to someone about to churn (last seen 30 days ago) or intercept people for feedback once they've used your service for a while (30 days since sign up) etc. I have also received timely support from Intercom team when I have submitted a question to the Intercom community, or directly asked them a message within messenger on their website. So yeah, all in all my experience with Intercom has been truly great.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

Hard to think of something I dislike about Intercom... really.. but the way pricing is.. "Hey you need this feature, pay extra" is a bit annoying sometimes, rather than having everything included in the type of plan you sign up for and then being able to upgrade the whole plan if you need extra features, it seems each feature comes with its own pricing and for each new "seat" you need to pay additional monthly. It's just overly complicated.

What problems is Intercom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Like I said above, we've created different paths for users and leads to go through different channels. Leads > Custom Bot > Qualify > Set up a meeting with sales manager via Calendly integration. Users > Can send a direct message to our team So this means someone from our team doesn't have to be online anymore to qualify leads, and to help them book a demo, which is a HUGE time saver. I'm getting used to more features outside messenger too, for example Outbound has useful features such as banners, product tours etc that I think I could use for announcements and marketing/promotional stuff. I really like that I can put a link in the banner and I plan on using that for our promotions or discounts.

A praticidade como o fluxo de intereções acontecem. A rapidez nos processos, na forma como registra-se todo o histórico de conversas. É melhor que os concorrentes.

"All-in-One Tool That Nobody Can Beat"
What do you like best about Intercom?

It's super powerful when it comes to marketing your product/service, especially if you have a SaaS. Been using Intercom since like forever (so I got to witness how it grew) and how it expanded to other products. As a marketer, having Intercom gives your company TONS of rooms for upping conversions. Just a single in-app would get my clients an additional ~$30k in revs. I get endless conversion ideas when my clients use Intercom vs. when my clients use ordinary email platforms. There's just so much opportunity and money lost when my clients use platforms with limited segments and triggers and messaging mediums. :( Intercom has chat, emails, prod tours--everything you need to optimize conversionn

What do you dislike about Intercom?

Its price. Not all of my clients can afford it. But all of my clients want the whole enchilada (prod tours, chats, emails, etc). Only a few can afford to invest.

What problems is Intercom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scattered messaging and client data. Intercom has everything you need to understand customers and trigger personalized messages. Most would take a couple of different SaaS for chat, emails and product tours. But then, they'd have to stitch the data and do some crazy integrations to make everything work together. That's why Intercom is pricey and if you can, it's best to invest in it. You just need to optimize its use to get your money back.
