What do you like best about Intercom?

One of the best features, ticketing, allows me to create customer cases and track their requests; you can also see how many agents are focused on a customer's request and establish internal communication. This application is essential for improving customer service through chat, email, social media, technical support, and other channels. The application's built-in chat and messaging capabilities enable instant interaction with customers. This greatly improves response times and overall customer service satisfaction. By effectively handling repetitive questions, automation solutions such as workflows and chatbots have also greatly reduced our team's workload. Intercom is a well-structured program that anyone can use with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

I can't predict the best results, and it's often difficult to find what you're looking for when searching for a name or even an email address, so I wish there was a better alternative with its search bar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Intercom has allowed us to strengthen the bond with our customers, which allows us to provide them with the highest quality service. It has made our customer service more efficient and improved user engagement. Our team can now focus more on strategic issues and customer success because of the time saved by automating routine processes. We have successfully organized the priority levels of all ticket requests, starting from the lowest to the most urgent. We can also use this feature to change the ticket status from Open to Awaiting Third Party. This makes our work much more efficient. Large companies and their customer portfolios can easily adapt to the speed of this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

It's very complete. I love and I can have so much data in so little time. The help desk is really good. The proactive tools are also really helpful and I can reach customers very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

It takes too long to get help from the support team. When I reach out it's often things Fin can't answer and I have to wait for a while to get an answer, then I reply the next morning and get an answer in the evening. And then I'm lost and don't rememer if this issue is solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My customers need a human support and we provide that easily with Intercom. I can take Intercom with me everywhere so I can answer my customer even at lunch or late in the evening without being in front of my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kateryna Kharytonova of Intercom

Hi Marjorie, thank you so much for your great review! We really appreciate your feedback on your support experience and are sorry for any frustration caused by delayed response times.

Our support response times have been longer than ideal lately due to high volume. We’re actively improving this and expect you’ll see timely responses going forward. I also want to acknowledge that while Fin is a powerful tool, some specialized questions are best handled directly by our support team so you can count on us to be there for you! Last, it sounds like you ran into a timezone mismatch with our team which impacted the resolution of your issue. Our team should be offering the option to partner with a teammate closer to your region so if there’s a mismatch in the future, please know that you can request another specialist.

What do you like best about Intercom?

Not only is Intercom great with the features that they provide, but enabling them and using them is super simple. They have really great help articles and guides on how to build and use the software. A lot of times you can just get in and play around and figure things out really quickly because the software is so user-friendly. Fin AI agent is helping our team answer questions more efficiently and helping us to take care of more customers with less people. From Fin Ai to tracker tickets to help in our bug resolution process, Intercom is reaching into a lot of different parts of our business to make us more efficient and take care of issues more quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

I really can't think of anything, love everything about this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is allowing us take care of more clients with fewer agents and the interactions with customers are better because they get answers more quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

What I like the most about Intercom is the seamless possibility to integrate it with our backend and all of our tools. Additionally, the wide variety of channels available to chat with our users—whether it's live chat, email, or in-app messaging—has made communication much more flexible and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

What I dislike about Intercom is that, unfortunately, once you exit the 95% discount of the startup program, the pricing becomes quite hefty. This has led us to downgrade some of the amazing tools and features in order to save costs, which is a bit disappointing given how valuable they were for our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Intercom is solving the challenge of delivering a seamless user experience for our customers while providing us with a great deal of freedom thanks to its customizable workflows. The automation and workflows allow us to efficiently manage customer interactions at scale, ensuring that users get quick, relevant responses without overwhelming our support team.

What do you like best about Intercom?

We've been using Intercom and Fin, and it's been a lifesaver! Fin has been great at sorting through all the junk and flagging the real issues that only humans can handle. Plus, it was super easy to set up, and the Intercom support team has been awesome whenever we've run into any problems. The platform itself is really powerful for customer support, and the integrations with other apps we use have been a huge bonus. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch customer support solution! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

Intercom’s Fin has been a great addition to our team, but we’ve encountered one major issue. When we use it for email support, there’s no threading, which can get messy. Other than that, there are a few minor quirks, but nothing that’s a big deal. Overall, we’re happy with Intercom and Fin, but we hope they can address the email threading issue with Fin soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Intercom is our go-to tool for handling customer support inquiries. It helps us keep track of all our conversations, prioritize tickets, and provide efficient support. We also use it to capture inbound sales leads from our website, making it easier to follow up and convert potential customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

We are a SaaS startup that began using Intercom three years ago. The Intercom Startup Program gave us significant cost savings during our first year. By integrating Intercom into our service, we’ve been able to offer instant assistance to our site visitors and users. The platform’s extensive documentation and responsive support have been invaluable in helping us take full advantage of its features. I highly recommend Intercom—it has streamlined our support workflows, saving both time and money while enabling us to provide more efficient service to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

While Intercom has good documentation, some users report slower response times from Intercom's own support team, which can be frustrating if you're dealing with a time-sensitive issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We required a solution to offer real-time assistance to our site visitors and users, and Intercom’s live chat and automation features enabled us to respond swiftly, ensuring customer inquiries are handled efficiently. Additionally, we leveraged Intercom to create a help center for our customers, providing access to documentation and video tutorials that significantly simplified onboarding and enhanced the user experience with our platform.

What do you like best about Intercom?

As a customer support for over 7 years, I have used different types of CRM and I can say that Intercom is one of the most user-friendly! Not just that, it is easy to set up their Automations and FinAI is the best! Ever since we used their "Suggested Help Articles" we have been getting fewer tickets. So helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

Right now, I can't think of anything, to be honest. So far, my experience with Intercom is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm working as an Admin Assistant for this company and when I started they had a huge backlog, it was over 5K. However, since Intercom is easy to use, I was able to close all the tickets in less than a week. I really love Intercom's Suggested Help Articles! Most of the time we only get tickets (emails/chats) from our user if that is something they can't do on their end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kateryna Kharytonova of Intercom

We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying Intercom's user-friendly interface and the effectiveness of our automations and Fin AI Agent. Thanks so much for leaving your review!
