What do you like best about Intercom?

It has been a great way for us to handle customer support inquiries, tickets, and support issues in an organized manner. Before we used Intercom, things would fall through the cracks as messaging came through email, Slack, and various other channels. This helps us organize requests and get them back to the client quickly. It was really easy to integrate it with Coda, Gmail and other platforms we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

Customizing and setting up the automation involves a learning curve. Although it's a powerful tool, the setup process isn't quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is helping us handle customer support inquiries from our customers. It helps us provide support our customers needs and allows us to assign them to the appropriate person to handle. This allows the customer to receive a response much faster than before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

Outbound tooling that allows for direct 'in-context' communication. The possibilities to give your customer the context/support they need at the point where they need it, allows for a smooth and effortless experience for your end-user. In combination with the omni-support channels, I think it is a very complete product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

The combination of conversation and tickets is a bit strange, as they both seem to leverage the same underlying object. This causes some strange behavior at times in applying automations regarding SLAs or conversions. In the end this impacts in gaining proper insights in how we have performed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A quick and direct way to communicate with our userbase. The barrier of reaching out to our users and getting proper responses have dropped significantly. In the end the conversational support model is adopted for our support services. Even though we're setting everything up around chatbots and AI, we know we can scale with Intercom and allow for in-context support and communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

The AI components within Intercom are awesome. The AI Agent has saved my teams tons of time on inquiries. We thouroughly enjoy watching Fin work its magic answering our common questions!!

I love that Fin gains its knowledge from all of ours assets - Custom Answers, highly rated conversations, Articles, and Snippets, and that Intercom has created a Knowledge Hub where we can organize all of these for easy updating and creation! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

They've been working on reporting and metrics, which is great. They could use a little more work so you can have more customization on what you want to view.

Intercom's own customer support has gotten better as well but it can still take a while to hear back or get help. Sometimes the support people seem to need to get additional support or questions answered before they get back to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Intercom is improving customer support for all users. My company has recently moved one of our teams off of Front and into Intercom because of the success our teams using Intercom have had. Intercom is a great platform for automation and teams to collab on conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

Every important matter is highligthed, you receive a lot of updates,a nd notifications about it, and also everything can be toggled to be seen or hided.

I use the app evey day, and 1 to 2 times a week, I receive either updates, advices, and paths to learn how easy the tasks are when you use intercom.

Also, the support that the app gives you in the chat is very high, ver effective, and very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

I dislike that sometimes, the app overloads with information and starts to run slowly, and you can either wait until crashes, or you can refresh it for a temporal solution. Sometimes, the app needs you to restart the pc in order to start working good again.

I don't like that some of the vital points of the app are not very well integrated, or related between them (Things like datapoints, and quick links) and sometimes, the relation between those is outdated, and creates an issue in the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Payment processes, repayment processes, tech support, and customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

Intercom allows us to manage both reactive and proactive support, set automations to provide customer support in context, and make the best of our resources.

Implementation and onboarding of the team was a breeze, and we continue to learn its features with Intercom Community and Academy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

While Intercom gives a great solution to house our help center, formatting and editing are not very flexible, so we feel we're constricted in terms of fonts, images, and interactive elements.

Additionally, we've had some issues with integrations mainly with Salesforce and Client success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As our company grew, we started to see that reactive support was not enough. We needed to be able to lead our customers in-app, even when they didn't know they needed guidance. In this way, we've managed to give customers autonomy in learning and using our product, thus reducing recurring questions for both our support and customer success teams.

What do you like best about Intercom?

I like that Intercom is easy to use and has helpful features that make customer interactions smoother. We use this every day for customer support. I also love that they send updates about the application, including changes and what we can expect moving forward. Love that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

There is nothing I can put my hands on at this time, everything is going smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Intercom keeps all customer messages in one place, making it easier to reply fast. I can also create views for different inboxes, which helps me stay organized and on top of things when answering customers. Plus, it handles some tasks for me, so I have more time to help absolutely love that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The impact of FIN AI has had a significant and immediate effect which helps us to construct emails professionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

It becomes challenging to promote the use of additional features due to the complicated pricing structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our customers are highly satisfied with the platform's interactive features, which have significantly increased engagement and contentment. The AI capabilities have played a crucial role in preventing my colleagues from being overwhelmed, enabling us to efficiently handle inquiries without overwhelming our team.

What do you like best about Intercom?

Intercom has saved me an outrageous amount of time over the last two months. As a sole marketer (who also handles the whole communication flywheel), Intercom Series have been a gamechanger for me. I have built email and chat flows across our whole sales funnel, from trial signup and activation to customer onboarding and review campaigns.

Series are super easy to setup (from product events triggering automated outreach to email actions opening up automated email flows).

Intercom integrates with all of the tools in our tech stack and with our product really easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

The only downside to using Intercom is that I don't have a team around me helping with activation and customer onboarding. I don't think I've saved more time with any other tool (besides ChatGPT). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Intercom takes over the role of founder, marketer, salesperson and customer support in all of our automated series and through the chatbot. I've created onboarding workflows, product feature guides, activation checklists, you name it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

Intercom took every main need Customer Support teams need to executure the best job for our customers and turned it into a high quality, multi-functional use for CS teams- and did so while making it the most user-friendly application. Our team has used other *big name apps I won't mention* and we all have agreed Intercom is the BEAST of these. Not only does Intercom hardly lack featues, they consistantly listen to the needs of teams and work accordingly. I don't ever see us not having Intercom in our journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

There really are no dislikes about Intercom. Is there features they lack? I mean, yea. Just lik every other app in this world. With Intercom, you can count on your voice being heard and your needs deeply considered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ease of customization to fit our business and the customers' needs within it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
