### "Great Software for Interacting with Users"

November 19, 2018

5.0

Excellent experience tracking users from end-to-end.

Pros

I love the versatility of the tools, and how they mesh with each other. Tracks as much intricate user activity as we need. Message campaigns have strong customization abilities, and good activity tracking once messages are sent. Helps us to get to know our users better, and, in turn, serve them better.

Cons

Almost every time I'm notified about Product Changes, these changes are available only for additional fees. It would be nice to be notified about updates to features I'm already using (and loving). It's a bit disappointing to only be notified when they'd like to tempt me to increase my plan. However, this is just a minor complaint - overall I'm satisfied!

### "Intercom Review"

April 12, 2019

5.0

Intercom is great for my company to connect with our clients at one time to ensure that each client feels they are important to us, as they are. It allows them to chat with us and ask for help when needed and allows us to easily answer and help them.

Pros

Intercom is a great way to create campaigns to send out to clients at one time. This allows us to contact each client at one time with one simple email. Also, the chat feature is a great way for our clients to connect with us when they have questions on their account.

Cons

Sometimes, there are cases where I send the wrong chat to the wrong client. I wish there was a quick way to undo the sending of the chat. This would allow me to ensure that the messages I am sending are going to the correct people.

### "Great live chat and knowledge base system"

March 3, 2020

5.0

It's much easier to handle user tickets with Intercom than it was with our previous live chat solution.

Pros

It works, is absolutely all over the internet, and has good support. I really like using it to help customers solve any problems they are facing.

Cons

It's very cost prohibitive compared to other solutions, but you get what you pay for. Whether or not the cost is justified remains to be seen.

### "Great tool to talk to clients"

August 22, 2018

4.0

We take feedbacks from customers with the help of intercom and resolve the issues they are facing through specified teams. We also manage to get leads through it.

Pros

It is easy to manage all the questions of customers and handling by specific teams with the help of intercom. It enhances our user leads and automates the process of ours to find the clients. We can easliy track all users with the help of automated emails.

Cons

Sometimes it stalls workflow as there is the bulk edit feature for the excel files which is not provided in it. Other features are more than average.

### "Great marketing tool, but average for ticketing and conversations themselves"

December 5, 2019

4.0

Intercom is great at automating some processes and marketing efforts. However, in some areas, it feels like it tries to be a jack-of-all-trades too much and falls short of expectations in ticketing (for example).

Pros

\- Great tool to listen to events and act on them - Multiple features around automatic conversations or messages with custom conditions

Cons

\- Conversations and ticketing in general is average but not great (better conversation view for a given user, regroup easily tickets, CRM-like capabilities)

### "Efficient and effective software"

November 19, 2018

5.0

I'm working in Customer Support for a SaaS tech startup. It's important to have software that allows you to jump in chat quickly to answer questions and concerns.

Pros

\-Easy to navigate -The separation of colors and sections allows for better organization of software -Love the ratings/comments feature --> allows you to gather necessary feedback of the customer support team

Cons

\-When the conversation ends, the conversation should not be able to be re-opened by the customer. It should be required for customers to start a new conversation. -Customers should not be able to keep changing the ratings depending on whether they liked the response they may have received once the conversation was closed and they've reached out again.

### "Great for many uses "

November 9, 2018

4.0

Overall, this is a great solution for interacting with customers! Also, customer support is friendly and helpful.

Pros

The ability to purchase features as add-ons depending on what you need is fantastic. You also have a lot of control over how you interact with customers, which is great and suits many different business needs.

Cons

For all of the control features you have for every other aspect of the software, there aren't many controls available for notifications. Sometimes they are spotty at best and it can be glitchy, which sometimes causes in dropping conversations or missing them.

### "A great chatting application for your website"

August 31, 2019

5.0

I would advise this tool to be used by startups as a good initial tool for chat.

Pros

The application offers just what you need - a chatting solution for your customer support. It integrates into your page and works great both on phone and on web. It has the option to provide you with individual feedback, statistics, chat-bot etc.

Cons

The costs are quite high, especially if you are running a big customer support team with each having their own individual accounts. The support does not respond to direct questions sometimes. However, the application does what it needs to do.

### "Great support tool, misses a few things for CS or sales"

March 8, 2018

4.0

My company can provide excellent support to our customers.

Pros

Everything that supports conversations with users, integrations, automation. They introduced reports not long ago and they are great.

Cons

Could be releasing updates more often, especially in the fields of automation and bots - this is something that competition does better for the moment but I hope they will manage to get there.

### "Great software!"

November 14, 2018

5.0

Amazing. Felt like there were some scaling issues for a little bit, but overall our experience has been rock solid.

Pros

Intercom is super fast to set up and integrate. We rolled it out on 2 custom platforms and a wordpress site without issue. Their support team is amazing and responsive to user feedback. (I use their conversations with me as an example to our support team sometimes) Love their introduction methods for new and beta features. The integration of each IC product with our custom software cut an incredible amount of time out of our workflow.

Cons

The reporting is probably the least prolific part of the software. When using messages to email customers or sales leads, as of 11/14/2018 there isn't an option to check for duplicate emails while sending messages out if your user/lead records have UUIDs imported from custom software. The only lack of feature that I felt was big enough to bring up in a review as the team is generally very receptive to our input.

### "Intercom definitely improved over the years."

March 31, 2020

5.0

Our experience with Intercom has been great so far and we will continue to use the platform in the future

Pros

We use Intercom inside our Medical application to assist our customers with their queries. What started as just a customer service app for us turned out to be a lead nurturing tool. The functionalities are great and the updates Intercom team brings out if also nice.

Cons

One of the things, I dislike about Intercom is the lack of proper reporting, however there is a work around with Zapier but having to use Zapier for everything is a task.

I want to say a big 'Thank You' from both myself and the rest of the team at Intercom for taking the time to write this, especially during what I can only imagine is a very busy time for a Medical application. I'm so happy to hear that your Intercom experience has been a great one! I'll make sure to pass your feedback on reporting to our product team as showing you the value that Intercom is providing your business is one of our top priorities. Thanks again!

### "Growth Accelerator!"

July 18, 2019

5.0

Allows us to rapidly resolve issues w/ our customers. Software integrations allow us to resolve those issues more quickly than before - efficiency is always beneficial in business. Overall it's been a great experience, and would recommend this software to anyone who has a need for it. Try it out!

Pros

Has features not available in competing software. The integration with multiple other software suites is also extremely beneficial. Targeting certain customer segments is something that really helps out our business as well. That's something we couldn't do with the software Intercom was replacing. It's easy to setup and use, onboarding is a breeze. That's always a plus w/ software.

Cons

We'd like to be able to customize a few more things. Already have contacted them with our suggestions and received a handwritten response as opposed to a copy/paste "we hear you" email. That's always nice to see, but another con is that our communication w/ them has had response times that are less than quick. That could be improved, but luckily we haven't had very much of a need to contact their team.

### "Intercom will always in one of the choices if you are looking for a customer nurturing platform."

August 29, 2018

4.0

Pros

Intercom with its easy to use interface and powerful features is easily one the of the best tools for customer nurturing. It has set a new standard for all the software makers in terms of functionality and also marketing. Intercom offers great integrations but sometimes it gets a little overwhelming with a lot of features. They are always in touch with their customers updating them about the releases and new features which are being updated very frequently. Intercom is a great product and I believe that when choosing a customer nurturing platform, Intercom has to be a choice.

Cons

Intercom is great if but it gets costly as you keep adding users. If there is no proper integration with the product, all the data will be garbage and it would not be very useful. Since there are a lot of features that get added very often, sometime it becomes a little confusing as to what the tool actually is capable of.

### "Aloows you to creata powerful experience for your users. "

April 22, 2022

5.0

Awesome experience. It is a worth investment if you want to be more customer-driven.

Pros

We have been adding intercom to our websites. It's great because you can communicate with your users directly while they are on your website. You can enrich your data about them, tag people on conversations, add tags for you to track down your most reported issues and most asked questions, etc. You can also create some articles for them to self-help themselves if they have some questions. There is so many things you can do with it.

Cons

You have a vast range of options on how to use Intercom. Better to put a support manager on it for it to reach its full use potential.

### "Fantastic chat app, one of the best in it's league."

May 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

What I like most about this software is that it allows us to deliver quality customer support for all of our apps in real time. Also, it's reporting and data collection features are second to none.

Cons

What I like least about this software is the clarify of fees/charges. We were surprised by the amount we were being charged due to a lack of clarity on product pricing. It wasn't clear about how they charge you per month. Once we understood, it was easy to see the value, but it would be good for users to know up front.

### "Most advanced live chat solution."

May 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

Intercom enable us easily generate sales leads and trigger web visitors to take action via targeted chat and in-app messages triggered by duration ,website or app location and past user behavior. Intercom integrates perfectly with Crm solutions like Salesforce ,even though it is almost like a CRM in itself.

Cons

We have had complaints from web visitors in time past of them attempting to send us messages when we are offline and the message failing to send through. This happen on rare occasions but I can confirm it does.

### "Such an easy to use software"

June 1, 2018

5.0

This software gave us the best overall view of our customer experience and gives them a great point of contact where they get a response within minutes.

Pros

We love that this gives us an overall look at our customer experience. It shows us what pages they most recently viewed and what customers maybe have not visited our site for a while.

Cons

It's hard to say what I like least about the software because there isn't much. One thing I wish there was more of was the ability to collab on a conversation with other employees instead of communicating with notes.

### "Makes Everything Easier"

September 18, 2017

5.0

This allows us to provide top notch customer service while maintaining an organized system on the back end that would only be a headache anywhere else. We are able to flow live chats and email tickets as well as any other inbound activity to one main hub.

Pros

I love Intercom - nearly every function it has makes my job easier, and it makes sharing information between teams regarding a single customer really easy. Bonus functions like notes/mentions, giphys, and integrations with other software systems we use really make it the best thing since sliced bread.

Cons

The messenger app. We use our own live chat system and maintain use of Intercom for email communication only. Unfortunately the messenger app looks and feels exactly like live chat, which we do not want, because we use it for email communication. Users perceive it as chat, and when they do not get an immediate reply they get frustrated. I have been told that this cannot be turned off nor is there any solution for us regarding this problem.

December 21, 2018

Intercom solved many of my problems for me early on in the development of my SaaS platform and saved me a lot of time and effort.

Pros

It's broad range of features for looking after my customers. On site chat, onboarding, support and help docs

Cons

They've slowly been raising the price of the software and clearly targeting businesses with bigger markets which has been putting us under a bit of pressure

### "More than an helpdesk program "

April 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

Intercom makes it easy to promote sales leads and trigger users to take action via targeted email, and in-app information triggered by time or website location. It integrates well with some of our favourite tools like Salesforce. Overall,Intercom is surely more than just an helpdesk program : as it provides us some email marketing feature too.

Cons

There have been times where we have been offline and web visitors have had issues sending us messages. which in such case is sent as a ticket.This happens very often.

### "We use Intercom to engage with our customers through chat and messages"

November 10, 2017

4.0

Easy way to integrate with my system and communicate with our customers.

Pros

Easy to use, you can learn very quickly about almost all features. You can easily edit the information about your team, like work hours, automatic messagens, time to answer, segment your customers based on a lot of different features and create rules to automatize the communication.

Cons

They take a few hours to answer in the customer service, sometimes It is not good to wait this time to solve some problem or have an answer from their team. Also I would like more options to create flows of automatic communications, also would be great to provide ways to calculate customer health scores and track this overtime.

### "A Great "CRM Lite""

November 12, 2018

3.0

I haven't explored other chat platforms, but Intercom is good. It's pricey, but it definitely opens up your knowledge to what chat features you want and need.

Pros

I like that this software offers a lot of different features. It's an email inbox, messaging outreach tool, customer information database, etc. You'll quickly learn what features work and don't work for your company.

Cons

The pricing structure is BIZARRE. It changes every quarter. Some months we spend close to 1k, other's we're spending 200. You also have to pay for every little feature, which is frustrating when you want to try things out and not have to be constricted to a "2 week trial period." It's getting more and more expensive to keep this tool, which is a bummer since it's nice. I also wish we had an account rep, so we had someone who knows our history with Intercom and how my company uses it. Talking to a new person every time i need help isn't the best way to build a relationship with a company.
