What do you like best about Intercom?

Simple, Easy to use and solves majority (if not all) our technical requests from inbound customers. This has been game-changer for our entire company, and provides top-management a full visual of chats, follow ups and customer journeys. It's been instrumental in our growth as a company, and at solving issues in our start up phase. We rely on this multiple times a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

not much to dislike. Required our full technical team to be a part of implementation, but thats mainly because our Sales and Marketing team are not incredibly tech savvy in back end development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's our window into customer service and new product release (all communication). It's life saving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

I think it's a testament to Intercom that it's been the go-to tool for customer communications in the last three companies I've worked at, ranging from small startups to large public organisations.

As a Product Marketing Manager, I love how intuitive, user-centric, and visually appealing Intercom is. From recruiting users for beta testing to sending newsletters and building product tours, it's fantastic to cover such a range of capabilities with one single tool.

Their customer support team is also excellent. Whenever I've encountered a blocker, they've been quick to respond and provided great support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

On the downside, because it's such a powerful tool, I often find myself Googling where specific features live, even after years of using it. Improved in-platform navigation and searchability would make a big difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Communicating the value of our product to customers and increasing adoption Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

I love that Intercom has a widely integrated system to provide granularity and precision when we build customer communication strategies. I can be very specific, and there are many functionalities I can choose from. It's my daily job to use Intercom and I really like how easy it is to get in touch with my customers, providing support not only via chat, bu being able to link knowledge base articles as well is really powerful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

AI is still a bit confuse to set, also not being able to delete some old stuff. This has been improving with time, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Addressing communication with customers. Intercom allows me not only to have a Live Chat connected to our knowledge base articles (and AI can start replying using this source), but also to add banners for urgent communication, pop-ups for news and warnings, it's really powerful.

What do you like best about Intercom?

Intercom has a complete package of customer service tools, including documentation (knowledgebase), on-site messaging, ticketing, site tours, and other user adoption tools. The app itself is blazing fast, which is a pleasure to work with. The Wordpress plugin works like a charm: if you run a Wordpress site, user data is synched automatically with the plugin. I appreciate the fact that the tool is not metered by number of users, so if you have a large number of free users, you don't get charged unless you send them certain types of messages. Customer service is always friendly and usually can help me get to the answer. Their own AI customer service tool is generally good & saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

There is definitely a steeper learning curve than I was expecting, as a solopreneur. Some things are really much better if you can get developer hours (on-site tours and event tracking are examples). Some parts of the tool are not customizable -- you have to accept the existing formatting or setup (banners, site tours, posts). There is no built-in option for multilingual site tours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

User adoption was my primary challenge. I liked that Intercom can give site tours, on-site messaging, chatbots, and documentation all in one tool. They are stronger with chatbots, help desk, and tickets, and relatively less strong with site tours. However, the fact that they have it all is what sold me on Intercom.

What do you like best about Intercom?

One thing that fascinates me about using Intercom is the fact that I can constantly see how many users I have contacted on a daily basis and can quickly access a conversation with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

I consider that it's not something that I dislike completely, but perhaps the aesthetic customization within the app could be improved a bit. It doesn't look bad, but considering how good everything is in general, I would say that this is an opportunity for growth in that aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In general, Intercom benefits my colleagues and me with the ease and efficiency we have in attending to the requirements of our users, in addition to having multiple AI tools that help us with each user and response times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

I really love the fact that I can solve a lot of problems of my company hiring only one product. We send e-mails, created our news feed, implemented a chat, added tooltips, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

Unfortunately, the UI could be better. We frequently spend some time finding where is an specific setting or feature. Some tables could have more sorting options. Only a few columns could be sorted on certain screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main reason that we hired Intercom was the Live Chat and Help Desk. It's really greater than the competitors that we tried. After that, we started to added some tooltips to explain some features and created our news feed to show the software changelog. We started to send some e-mails through Intercom too. It's not the best mail builder that we used, but it's very convenient. Maybe in the future we can use only Intercom for that too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intercom is very easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. Taking notes while on calls and easily able to send a email right after is very helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

There is not much to dislike, I think all the features are very beneficial for calls in a work place setting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

The Customer Satisfaction report has become a must in my daily and weekly review regarding the interactions we have had with our users and makes it easier for the manager to track what can be improved in our end and provide feedback to our employees on time to increase the satisfaction of our customers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

I would prefer if the Conversations report gave the manager the chance to consult what were the chats we received on a specific time frame, and forward us to the link of the conversation, that would help us speed up our Quality reviews since nowadays, we only get to see the volume of chats, but not what those chats were. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has helped us to identify the timeframes where we get the highest traffic, and that has lead us to adapt our operational schedules to meet those needs and have our staff ready whenever we need more people on board to attend the most number of chats possible.

What do you like best about Intercom?

Comprehensive Features and customization options. Intercom offers live chat, email campaigns, help desk, and knowledge base in one platform. You can also integrate it with Slack, Salesforce or Jira.

I can't imagine using any other tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

Some features may require time to master. Support could reply faster ;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Automation and FIN answers are reducing manual responses for agents. They can focus on product adoption and proactive actions. Data and reporting features provide actionable insights to refine strategies and improve service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to keep daily communications with customers in one place and easily respond to live chat as well as automate email drips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

Having to upload images that we send for FAQs every time. If there was a library where we could keep all these in intercom, it would be a game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Intercom allows us to keep in touch with our platform users, provide live chat support, resolve help tickets and streamline overall communications. Intercom provides a way to implement help articles easily in to emails, live chat and send emails to users from one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
