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.

Product is excellent for live chat assistance.

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

Pros

Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Integration With CRM The chatbot’s integration with the organization’s CRM would allow for customer information to be queried, once the customer’s identity has been verified.

Voice or Text Input Chatbot interaction through audible (voice) or text (keyboard) input.

Leads Generation The chatbot can take its interaction as input as a possible new sales lead, for follow-up by an organization’s business development office.

Application Programming Interface For more customized needs, the chatbot may have an API which would allow an in-house developer to access features of the chatbox.

Knowledgebase Allows users to create knowledgebase articles, metadata tags, creation data and author's name

Personalized Service In conjunction with CRM integration, or through the use of browser cookies, the chatbot can be configured to deliver a more personalized service to the client.

Learning and Adaptability The chatbot should have the ability to learn the characteristics of the human with whom it is interacting. This can include speech nuances.

Multi-channel Supports live chat, mobile app, powerbot and messenger

Scheduled Availability The ability to schedule when the chatbot will be available, if its role is to augment a service desk on an after hours basis.

Wayfinding Allows the chatbot to act as a site’s search engine, in addition to a text-based search field, and have access to a service desk’s service catalog.

Workflow Processing By leveraging the chatbot’s AI capabilities, the intelligent routing of data across an organization, based on pre-defined parameters of a workflow.
