What do you like best about Intercom?

HIPAA compliant without a massive cost.

AI that can actually help my users.

Useful and clean product walkthrough features.

Easy to build help desk articles.

All on one platform with good UI.

Startup discount.

Pricing for AI chat bot feels simple and fair.

Easy to get set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

Startup discount is great but won't get you HIPAA compliance.

Usage based pricing can be difficult to model future cost to company.

Have to have an active seat for any engineers who are just setting up product walkthroughs even if they aren't providing customer support.

App doesn't seem to consistently send notifications for incoming live chats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The product walkthrough feature has made our product much more accessible to a wide audience of users with varrying tech savviness. Live chat is super simple to use. The AI chatbot solved its first customer support ticket autonomously last week and it only took 5 minutes to setup, absolutely incredible. Help desk was also easy to setup and very useful for customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Intercom?

Great support tool, great support team (there's a minimum number of characters on the questions. that's very weird) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

I had high hopes for the Intercom Product tours. It's ok overall but has some minuses. I can see you're working on it, and the support team has been great in delivering our feedback to the product team. So I am waiting on the improvements :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Do it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're mostly handling support, but we want to ramp up our onboarding with the product tours. So far we could only use it sparingly due to some limitations such as product tours not starting if users aren't logged in and need to go through the login process; menu items (e.g. File>New) aren't recognised when you hover over them, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Sugrue of Intercom

Hi Dana,

Thanks for taking the time to let us know about your experience using Intercom to handle your support conversations, as well as ramp-up your user onboarding.

Product Tours is one of our newest features so there are lots of ways we can continue to improve with the help of feedback like yours.

:) Kate (Intercom - Customer Engagement)

What do you like best about Intercom?

I am using Intercom for a lot of time, have experience with other platforms, and I would like to say that Intercom is the best solution between functionality side and user-friendliness

The AI update is also a great feature!

And many others, such as to see who is checking the chat, ping, dark mode, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

I wouldn't say I liked the thing when the user comes to the chat with the identical email but not logged-in in one of the times (like just an email response) and I will not see the previous history with the contact, even when the email matches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy communication with the users. Possibility to use it correctly with the team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

First of all the user interface is too good.

You can easily manage multiple chats at a time.

Chat taggig makes it easy for us to identify the categories of issue.

Most of the basic queries are handled by the Chat Bot which reduces the hassle.

It also allows us to monitor chats of other team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Intercom?

We cannot chat with the client on behalf of other team members, if I need to transfer the chat midway to my colleague, customer gets to know that person who is handling a chat is now changed.

Sometimes, chatbot fails to assign chats to any of the available team members and chat remains unassigned without any notification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The chat bot in Intercom resolves some of the basic queries of the customers itself, without involving human which is great.

It reduces the number chats we need to handle at a time becasue of chat bot.

It allows us to creat macros which enables us to save message templates and send them quicly without typing them everytime.

It recognises opening message and we just need to press TAB to enter opening message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
