What differentiates Intercom from other similar products?

It's entertaining to use; I enjoy reading what other people are penning; I can quickly and simply add notes and articles; I can create my own bots; although, these features are currently broken; I can create and share banners, posts, and chats; and so much more.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The setup and operation of Intercom need no technical knowledge or effort. It's a cheap, fast, and simple way to keep in touch with your clients and prospects.

What do you dislike most about this product?

No significant gripes here; Intercom is helping us save a lot of time and we couldn't be happier. We now use an integration to provide phone assistance, however it would be ideal if Intercom could handle this on its own.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Intercom works wonderfully for instant messaging and in businesses that require prompt assistance. Great for brief SLAs when a rapid reaction is expected. Fantastic method of gaining access to the papers and frequently asked questions. To sum up, a comprehensive network of aid

Maximizing Your Use of Intercom

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Intercom from other similar products?

Compared to competing options, its real-time chat functionality is dependable and easy to use. The team's shared inbox is a nice added bonus.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Features like as in-app messaging, automated problem solving, in-depth guides, and embedded adverts/promotions are all great additions to your user interface. Appreciating the data characteristics of your internal clients makes this achievable.

What do you dislike most about this product?

After using it for almost a year, I haven't come across any big difficulties or things I dislike. Even if you have your browser's sound settings to their defaults, you may still experience issues with sound notifications. On the other hand, it may just be me.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Intercom is great for addressing issues related to customer success if your product is easy to use and your support questions can be answered with a brief conversation. It's also helpful to have the ability to refer people to articles that are stored in Intercom.

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
