Hi Rita Lee - thanks for taking the time to leave intercom a review. It's great that by using Intercom you now have closer contact with your customers - that's what we're all about!!

What do you like best about Intercom?

Integrated apps and APIs allow us to use our existing web services seamlessly within intercom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

The cost is very high going from one tier to another. There are edge use cases (such as banners) that can only be accomplished by signing up for large product upgrades that come with many things not required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Seeing data on who is using our product and interacting with them natively within app is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

The 24/7 automated support with Resolution Bot- its great when clients have very urgent questions, they get immediate support and makes us look very professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

To add a user to Intercom is very expensive, and we cannot know if we need many users or if one is enough. We are a small company and have limited budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Its a great way to help customers get immediate help and/or to assign customer questions to the right person. We look professional and well organised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eabha O'Sullivan of Intercom

Hi Isabelle - thanks for taking the time to leave Intercom a review. It's great to hear that you are utilising Resolution Bot and it is helping with automated support! I hope it is helping the metrics that are important to you and your company.

We also appreciate your feedback around pricing - I can see how this could be frustrating, especially with limited budgets. I will let our billing team know this feedback.

Thanks,

Eabha

What do you like best about Intercom?

It is very clear to see all the items that I handle in one place. I know the status of everything and can hand-off parts smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

I wouldn't say there are any significant downsides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Intercom:

When implementing Intercom for customer service/help desk, think about the various customer patterns. Not just the top 20 questions people ask. When you think about what people are trying to do, then you often can point them to additional resources. Everyone wins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are a global organization and overseas folks would have to wait for answers. Our website is robust, so almost all the answers are already "there" - so the articles and links get people their answers so quickly. It leaves us MUCH more time for strategic work.

What do you like best about Intercom?

Reports are extremely useful and provide lots of insights about your support site and conversations with customers.

Intercom holds plenty of information regarding customers, like the previous times when they've been in touch, and it can sync with other apps (like Stripe) to provide a full profile of each customer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

Many features are only for higher paying plans and you need to be updating your subscription to have access to these.

It can be confusing when addind¡ng new people to conversations.

It's sometimes hard to determine whether a message's been seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mainly customer support and success. Answering inbound requests, updating and administering our support site, and some potential customers outreach, as well as organizing email campaigns.

It's extremely easy to use. You can filter customers in any imaginable way; you can use tags for conversations and users, and Intercom keeps track of everything for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Intercom?

I have used a number of different chat platforms and services. Intercom is the simplest, and most modern I have used and feels like a messaging app rather than a corporate chat platform. It has many features that other platforms have such as macros and automated tagging, but it allows for addition features such as built in articles and GIFs that most customers love. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

There are some very minor issues I have such as searching for tags requires exact spelling and implementing articles doesn't offer a copy link that the user can then share with others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Intercom has made chats feel less corporate-like and more personal. Implementing GIFs is a hit with customers, and intercom gives agents greater flexibility in managing their inboxes to match their work pace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
