### "Decent product but support is slow and not helpful."

October 5, 2017

4.0

Pros

Easy to get started and customize data we send to them. Filtering within their UI is nice and helps our support team find customers quickly.

Cons

It is very costly for what it does. There are many other similar pieces of software for about the same price that can do more.

### "Intercom For e-commerce platforms"

October 6, 2020

5.0

Great tool to work with. easy integrations. A must for web applications.

Pros

Great tool, easy integration. great UX, and features (targeted messages, general notifications). Dashboard with users data

Cons

I think its a great tool, could have some better BI capabilities. Other than that - easy integration and great experience.

### "Great software"

March 26, 2020

5.0

Everytime we as a company have reached out to intercom support they are always responsive and willing to help.

Pros

The thing I like most about Intercom is the ease of use. the visibility of all your messages right in front of you saves you time and simplifies your work load. I also love the functionality of how you can sync Intercom up with Gmail, doing this will forward all emails that come to your Gmail to your intercom.

Cons

The one functionality about intercom that I like least is how the email address(s) on the other end of the thread will be notified when you close or reassign a conversation to a different person. This can create a bad customer experiences as they are notified of the steps we take on their email request.

### "Intercom has been a great way to bridge the gap to our customers."

November 27, 2017

5.0

Pros

Being able to quickly and efficiently communicate with our customers is a big help. Allowing customers to chat in even when we are offline is also a great way to always insure that their issue or concern will always be addressed.

Cons

I dislike that you have to purchase a separate installation for each website that you have if you want to customize the end-user experience to match the website they are currently on.

### "Intercom is pretty awesome. I just wish they hadn't changed their UI."

May 31, 2018

5.0

User tracking bliss and segmented messaging depending on where a user is during the onboarding process.

Pros

The platform allows you to A/B test all kinds of messaging via a native app chat bubble or email series and helps you track user engagement in an extremely user-friendly manner.

Cons

Support time wasn't as fast as I liked and the new mandatory UI change was not welcome. Setting up strings (rules) isn't easy without a decent tech background.

### "Lots of funcionalities"

February 20, 2023

4.0

I used to use Intercom as to livechat with customers, who were looking technical support whilst using our product. We also utilized its capabilities to create articles/knowledge base, as well as to automate messages as someone viewed the articles.

Pros

\- Easy-to-use interface to chat with the customers,- Dividing new conversations between agents is also fairly easy,- Editing text in the knowledge base is flexible, and you can add videos too!- You can integrate all the features to display more knowledge base articles in automated messages based on rules.

Cons

\- Automated bot flows were not flexible enough for us, so after a while, we decided to stop using them.- There was no option to limit the number of times the bot has been triggered;- Overall, it's quite an expensive tool.

### "Perhaps the most useful software for user engagement."

December 9, 2017

5.0

Pros

It packs serious power, allowing us to do comprehensive user engagement. It's UI is squeaky clean and all the buttons are where you'd expect them to be.

Cons

It does get more expensive as your business grows. You need to be prepared for that when you sign up.

### "Great product for customer interaction"

July 2, 2019

5.0

Pros

We've leveraged them over the past 4 years and they continue to innovate. We're heavy user of the messaging and help center functionality

Cons

The pricing structure has gotten a little confusing over the years but can happen with a quickly innovating business

### "Intercom is simply outstanding"

December 11, 2017

5.0

Pros

We started using Intercom for the in-app chat. Pretty soon we started using it for everything else. Lead-nurturing mails, notifications, and even our customer behavior metrics are taken from Intercom now.

Cons

There's too many features in Intercom and many new features keep getting added. A dedicated account manager would be great to identify our requirements. We would save time exploring other products.

### "Intercom is the cheapest solution but it comes with a price"

February 23, 2021

5.0

It's a good product for small companies. I wouldnt use it if my company had more than 10k customers and more than 50 agents.

Pros

It is easy to use and train our advisors on how to use it. It has a mid tier costumization that allow us to creat tags, different campaigns and measure CSAT.

Cons

Probably once a month the platform is down and we have to find other ways to communicate with our customers.

Pros

\-Ease of use -Design -Original pricing -Integrations

Cons

\-Reporting is ATROCIOUS -Ticket Assignment is Bad -Support is poor -Limited features -Not for ticketing/support -Regular bugs/outages

### "Live Chat for the Modern Age"

September 18, 2018

5.0

Intercom has completely opened up a new communication method to a customer who is at a different point in the buying stage. It allows us to engage and assist users who otherwise would just be browsing the website in the early stages of product research.

Pros

As a e-commerce retailer, we use the Inbox platform to handle customer enquiries and find the software to be incredibly user-friendly with a great user interface that feels intuitive and familiar, even if you've never used it before.

Cons

The only con would be that there's no option for live video call at the moment. I know that's a bit cheeky, because after all, it wasn't designed for that. But I think it would be a great addition to an already great product.

### "Complete tool to take care of your customer support department "

January 17, 2018

5.0

Pros

Enable you to integrate it with other tools such as Salesforce. Intercom native tools offer a complete solution - chatbot, educate for a knowledge base, engage for automatic messages and so on.

Cons

We still did not implement bots enough, so the "human" work is still big. I miss more material to learn how to better engage our users on Intercom Educate. This would make the support process faster.

### "An Essential Tool for Running Your SaaS Business"

October 30, 2015

5.0

We've been with Intercom since the very early days. We originally signed up for their beta when it was just a tracking tool to find out how many users you had in your app, now it's a full blown CRM with email marketing ability, real-time chat with customers, user segmenting, automatic messaging and so much more. It's essential for our business and we rely on it every hour of every day. Their customer service is also fantastic, as you would expect.

Pros

\- Real-time chat with customers - Email marketing and segmenting which helps converts leads - Lowers churn because you can capture and engage users who are dropping off - Very easy to use, with a lovely user interface

Cons

\- Can get a little expensive as your users grow - Price is plan is not fixed, so you have to manually remove old users (or visitors to your site) to keep your price plan down or it will rocket without you realizing

November 30, 2022

5.0

En generar es una herramienta practica, el precio vs el valor que aporta a cualquier compañia es justo.

Pros

Facil de utilizar - Diseño es estetico lo que hace que puedas comprender con facilidad las funciones

Cons

No me gusta que hay que darle al botón "enviar" para que se envíe el mensaje al cliente o usuarios internos. Deberia funcionar con solo dar "enter"

### "The go-to customer communication tool"

December 19, 2018

5.0

It’s a tool full of communication options. Live chat, email campaigns, faq management.

Pros

Easy to use, hasn’t loads of options and its dev team keeps pumping out new features 👍

Cons

It’s quite pricey. Would be great to use all of their service packages when you’re an SMB

Pros

its got lots of features, lots of coolw ays to astonish customers and it has integrations for other tools that make work easier

Cons

everything seems to be an additional cost, there are different price teirs, product add ons, etc. they keep squeezing money out of us lol

I love how visual it is and how easy to manage conversations are. I like how you can send out emails based on certain filters and how you can keep track of all your customers inside. Also lots of powerful integrations with other apps.

Cons

### "Intercom pays for itself"

November 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

Having Intercom embedded in our app has improved our trial conversion rates by allowing us to send messages at just the right time. More than that, it allows us to communicate with existing customers at just the right time. The App store is already great and growing.

Cons

Our apps are built as Microsoft add-ins and run as web apps inside Excel and Outlook. Our customers are unable to click links and have them open outside of the apps without us having to explicitly ask them to right click the link and open in new window. This needs to be addressed.

### "Miles ahead of the second-best solution "

March 4, 2019

5.0

The biggest fun starts in the backend of your support, which literally allows you to assign the enquiry to a specific professional. The mobile app allows you to reach, say your Japanese-speaking developer in out-of-office hours if you need him badly. This is incredibly effective and I’ve seen it do wonders both, supporting a client and enquiring myself (I had a bad bug on Tilda which I had support dealt with on a Sunday night!) Another unbeatable feature is the front-end design - I simply have not seen a better UX solution that I would put on my website for clients to use, seriously.

Pros

It has the most logical and user-friendly interface both for clients and support, far beyond second-best option on the market.

Cons

Do expect random bugs and technical errors to happen. The support will acknowledge and fix them, yet it can be an unpleasant surprise if you experience high volumes of customer support activity.

### "Great in-app and email for smaller businesses"

January 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

For those new to marketing automation it is very simple to get going, with no prior knowledge of even HTML. It has lots of helpful prompts to make sure you stay on track. Most importantly the customer support team really do make an effort to help, and they are improving the software all of the time in response to customer feedback. The ability to easily send in-app campaigns, rather than the usual pop-ip messaging is a major USP.

Cons

Adding and updating data at times can be painful, especially as the system allows emails to be duplicated. The campaign system is quite simplistic, meaning that you have to be careful that you layer an automation using exclusions - which is one of the reasons it could be unsuitable for a larger/more complex product and or organisation.

### "Great for in-product communicaton"

July 20, 2022

5.0

Pros

In-app messaging and the ability to create product tours are a great low-cost solution for a complex product that takes time to onboard users.

Cons

Email marketing could be improved - the design is missing easy drag&drop functionality.
