What do you like best about Intercom?

There are 2 parts to my department, support and success. For support, intercom has been very helpful; however, for success it has been a nightmare. The sales representatives at intercom assured us that their platform can be used as a CRM and we fell for it. It is difficult to use, picks and chooses when to save data, and if a CSV is uploaded, intercom will delete other information randomly. Also, customer service at intercom is probably the worst I've ever encountered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

See above - bad customer service, unreliable platform for CRM purposes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Intercom has been great for customer support. It is built into our interface and allows customers to access self service or contact our support team right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kateryna Kharytonova of Intercom

Hey there,

Bobby here, I lead the customer support team at Intercom. I'm really sorry to see this. As a customer service company we want to model great Support. And the last thing we want is for anyone feeling mislead on the product. I want to try and fix this.

We’re glad that you are enjoying our customer service platform. AI first customer support is our current focus area but we would love to understand how we can better suit your needs. Our own Success team uses Intercom (along with Salesforce), so maybe we can figure out a solution. If not, we can chat about downgrading (for just support) or refunding your subscription.

You can email me at robert.stapleton@intercom.io. Thank you!

What do you like best about Intercom?

Intercom makes it really easy to provide effective customer support with a multifaceted approach. It integrates directly with your platform so that you can communicate with customers in all different fashions, being as loud or quiet as you'd like to be with those communications. Walk customers through your platform with tool tips, make announcements about product updates or upcoming platform maintenance, and quickly reply to customer questions via the chat function. The number of possibilities with Intercom are almost endless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

Because there are so many capabilities within Intercom, it can be difficult to understand the best approach for your goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Intercom helps our team to collaborate manage an inbox of customer questions together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

The ease! First time Intercom user but my line manager did not have to spend much time training me how to use this. I'm sure we've not maximized its full potential yet but that's because our field isn't really that intensive on tech, so what we use it for, which are mostly customer service, live chat, and email, and its needs are met! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

There isn't any that I could name, to be honest, as I feel I have at my disposal all the features that I need for my role. I understand this asks for cons, and sorry I still gave pros! :p Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps by giving me options! Not having to tab out to Gmail to write emails is a superb feature. It helps with efficiency by allowing the storing of macros. The integration with Hubspot saves me a few clicks, and keeping records, notes, on customer's queries! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
