Customer service teams from various global organizations, including Atlassian, Amazon and Microsoft, rely on Intercom to deliver efficient and personal customer experiences at scale.
The capabilities of this software are amazing. Once you have an understanding of how it works, then it can do amazing things for your business.
The one problem with the software is that it is a beast of features and I can easily get lost in the minefield.
I like that it gathers all the reporting in one spot, makes it very convenient. I also really like that you can customize it however you'd like to best fit your company needs.
Customer service is horrible. I wanted to cancel BEFORE my next billing and they said that I had to schedule a call before I could cancel which is ludicrous.
I love the tracking of our opportunities with the access to forecast our high and low potential month by month. It's also wonderful to understand where the weakest points are for conversion.
The access to files and photos and emails is so limited and difficult and time wasting that I scream at it every time I use it. I hate this product and have for a while.
A solid platform with pretty much everything you would need from a CRM and lead/sales management software. Nice dashboard and interface with a solid resource library and interesting blog updates.
You know that they suck when they have to change there name so they can try and rebrand themselves but at the end of the day they are still confusionsoft.
Enjoy the integration with Help Articles, the ability to send targeted campaigns based on app engagement. Love that they offer special pricing for Startups.
There is no API call to "archive the segment" despite it was proposed few years ago. Intercoms offers one of the worst client libraries on the whole github and they reject PR's.
Integration is super easy and the documentation is easy to follow. We've been using Intercom for over 2 years now and absolutely love it.
WORST CUSTOMER SUPPORT EVER!!! 7 days without a first response. They barely have any features, and if they do - they expect you to pay thousands of dollars to get them.
We also use their survey feature and like that it's easy for our customers to answer. Their chat feature is good and we like the automation that you can program to triage customer issues.
Also, a lot of Add block tools catch Intercom as an ad and blocks it - thus creating inconvenience for end users having to choose between.
This is an awesome chat tool, we use it for chatting with our clients. The reporting is great & the canned responses are so useful.
Customer service is terrible and they just don't give two hoots about their customers. Constantly introducing new features but not actually fixing the main feature that someone would need.
Eli B.: Hey. I'm Eli. I'm a CEO of an SMMA, and we have less than 10 employees. And I give Keap a five out of five. So I was using HubSpot originally, and I use Keap for a lot of my other clients as well. I like Keap because the lead nurturing capabilities and automation are superior to HubSpot for a couple different reasons, one of which includes the Zapier integration. It's a lot more intuitive and easy to set up on Keap's side than it is in HubSpot, and the pricing definitely plays a role. So we chose Keap, and we implement Keap for a lot of our new clients and existing clients who already use it. We like to use Keap to nurture our leads that come in, as well as prioritize them based on where they are in the sales pipeline. Getting started with Keap was extremely easy. It's just the click of a button. There's some integrations you need to do if you want to integrate it with WordPress, or other marketing software that you use. The good news is it does have a pretty easy to use Zapier integration if you're familiar with that platform. So you could connect it to virtually any other marketing app you use. If you are looking for a CRM for your business, or just a way to automate your marketing efforts, I definitely recommend Keap. Not only does it have the capabilities to do everything, if you aren't able to figure something out on your own, their support team is fantastic, and can pretty much walk you through any step of what you're trying to accomplish.
Rilwan B.: Hi. My name is Rilwan. I'm the product designer, co-founder for Aetiv Media Limited. On a scale of one to five, I would give Intercom a five. Thank you. Before we started using Intercom, we used LiveChat for a couple of months, but it's not like we really had an issue with it. It was just that Intercom was the perfect fit for us. I had a conversation with another founder friend of mine. I was just talking about the chatting and the SMS functionalities, just trying to increase customer relations in the business, and they mentioned something about they've been using Intercom in their startup and it's been really impressive. So, it wasn't like we really had anything against LiveChat. It was just the fact that Intercom was more of the perfect fit for us. Thanks. With Intercom, it was just easier for us to actually integrate it into the business. We run a media startup company, so basically, content creators create contents and put that behind a paywall. And we've got people from different parts of the world using our platform with different time differences as well, so it was just easier with Intercom; the language functionalities, the backup, the ease to set up as well. These were all the major selling points, why we decided to switch to Intercom, and that's what we've been using ever since. Thanks. Yeah, with Intercom, setting it up was actually very easy. We've got softwares in the company that when we need to set it up, that would always be for the people in the programming departments to set that up. If it's the marketing section, probably the marketing people set it up. But for Intercom, it was easier to set up. I did the setting up myself, so that was really straightforward. It was easy to set up and it was easy to integrate into the business as well. Thanks. Like I mentioned earlier, with the fact that we were using LiveChat, it's always about finding the perfect fit for your business, if Intercom is the perfect fit for your business. It's been for us for the past over two, three years now. It's always about what's the perfect fit for your business, what are your business needs, and what platform actually does everything for you. It's great to be pointless, having two platforms that actually does something similar to each other. You might as well just go for one that does everything. That would, of course, save time, and that would reduce costs as well. So, my advice would be if what you need is what Intercom provides, they would be the perfect option to actually go for. Thanks.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
