Intercom is great for Startups

Reviewed on 2024/05/13

I've loved using Intercom so far - it has been essential in our customer success focused strategy.

I've loved using Intercom so far - it has been essential in our customer success focused strategy.

Pros

I love the help center and live chat.

The help center is super easy to customize and make good-looking docs.

Cons

Pricing and ticketing. Unfortunately, these are starting to become non-starters for us, as we're scaling up and hitting some pretty insane pricing tiers.

Additionally, the ticketing solution seems like an afterthought.

Response from Intercom

Hi Jacob,
Bobby here, I lead the support team at Intercom. I'm sorry to hear this. We did major relaunches on both our Ticket product and on pricing last year - we hear you and know how important they are to Support leaders.
I'd love your views on where you feel we're still falling short. If you're open to chatting you can email me at [email protected]
Thank you!

Intercom for Startups is Awesome

Reviewed on 2024/02/24

Pros

We were fortunate to be accepted into the Startups program so we are receiving a great discount to leverage all the product has to offer. We originally found Intercom for live chat but it offers so many features that we implemented. We love the tooltips and pop-ups. We love the ability to trigger the chat box when certain events occur. There are so many features that we haven’t had a chance to implement them all, each one that we use had helped our users have a better experience on our platform.

Cons

Get started was a little difficult and I have had to reach out to Support on a pretty regular basis because I cannot find the answer to my questions in their support center. Their support team is awesome but it can take a day or two to hear from them which is frustrating when you need to get something released quickly.

It's more suited for customer services and not really marketing.

Pros

We can use it to prequalify leads and guide current users to support articles

Cons

It's not very marketing and sales-friendly, lacking a few features like proper attribution and pushing full location information, including city and state, to Salesforce CRM

It has allowed us to build a more personalized and engaging experience for our customers. Through improved customer experience of offering the right message at the right time, we have been able to drive customer satisfaction, decrease churn and build more effective high trust and high loyalty relationships.

Pros

Intercom has been an indispensable tool for managing our customer relationships and helping them grow. Segment audience and send customized messages, be proactive with targeted campaigns, and request feedback through app surveys. One of the most significant advantages of this platform is that it offers detailed analytics and reporting features for tracking customer behavior and engagement.

Cons

Pricing is on the higher side for small businesses or those with limited customer contact requirements, even though Intercom comes rich with features.

Overall I am very much satisfied with intercom, making handling chats so much more comfortable and easy

Pros

it is very user-friendly and the use of macros and other features like tagging a member or transferring it to a different team makes it very much handy. The AI co-pilot is also very handy making us handle fewer chats.

Cons

how it can lag at times which required us to reload the page

Pros

Love the easy to use interface for my team as well as my users, ability to easily integrate Intercom into all my site pages using a custom code snippet, the intercom mobile app to track and respond to conversations and love the AI tool fin that helps automate customer conversations

Cons

I feel its a bit too expensive for early stage companies although they offer a generous discount. Also I feel the learning curve is very high, you need to watch a lot of documentation to really understand the platform

Love the automation capabilities

Reviewed on 2025/01/19

Pros

I love how Intercom's abilities to automate repetitive tasks like the initial message to engage prospects and ensure the lead is accurately routed to me, instead of another rep who doesn't own the territory. The ability to identify the prospect's behavior on our website is very helpful.

Cons

While the automation of repetitive tasks is great, the messaging sometimes is a bit off or sounds robotic.

Intercom has been absolutely crucial to our 'scaling' stack from a startup to a fast growth upstart. I couldn't recommend Intercom enough to supercharge your support function.

Pros

Where do you start with Intercom. They consistently build and ship world-class features to make support as easy as possible. By far, the introduction of FinAI has well and truly cemented Intercom as the support platform leader. We overlay FinAI onto Guru to create autonomous AI agents that can support our customers. It will completely change how we scale our business

Cons

The biggest frustration is not having a vertical stack that handles both support and sales. Hubspot offers support and we have thought many times about moving to consolidate the stack and reduce costs. Intercom continues to deliver value keeping us within the platform.

Response from Intercom

Hey Lucien, thank you so much for the awesome review! It means a lot to us that Intercom has been crucial in scaling your business. We get your point about a unified support and sales stack so thanks for sharing your feedback!

My overall experience has been good. I have found it difficult to get the hang of in the beginning, but with practice it gets easier, and I'm finding more and more features I didn't know existed.

Pros

Intercom has a lot of features that have been very helpful in large-scale costumer support. My favorite features are the ability to assign emails, and easily writing notes to coworkers and then switching back to emailing/chatting with a client.

Cons

There is a sound that constantly plays whenever Intercom is open on the desktop. It has been very distracting when multitasking with intercom and other programs. I have never found a way to get rid of it. Another downside is how overwhelming and difficult it can be to begin using. It's not as simple as other programs.

Conversations with Team a breeze

Reviewed on 2024/05/17

Pros

The ability to centralize communication channels, including chat, email, and even social media, streamlines our workflow and enhances efficiency. The platform's automation features help us scale our customer interactions without sacrificing quality, and the analytics tools provide valuable insights into user behavior and satisfaction.

Cons

The pricing structure can be a bit steep, especially for smaller teams or businesses with limited budgets. Additionally, while Intercom's support is generally responsive, occasional delays in resolving technical issues can be frustrating. Overall, Intercom empowers us to deliver exceptional customer experiences, but careful budgeting and occasional patience are necessary.

Response from Intercom

Hi there,
Bobby here, I lead the support team at Intercom. Thanks for sharing this. We recently launched all new pricing designed to be accessible for everyone. And as a company offering a Support product, we want our own Support experience to be incredible (with a timely first response and timely resolution!) Sorry to see we missed on these...

As the capabilities of Intercom become more widely understood, customer service can only improve. At the same time, my productivity in the office has increased because of my newfound familiarity with the team's workflow and methods. Using Intercom to log all of our communications has allowed us to work more efficiently, which has allowed us to serve our customers better.

Pros

Intercom's keyboard shortcuts are one of my favourite features, and they help make it a top-tier platform for efficient communication. By letting users include gifs, emoticons, photographs, and comments on conversations about any topic, it maintains a lively conversational atmosphere. It analyzes conversations and flags them as potentially repeated soon.

Cons

If you have a lot of active chats, the search function may take too long to return results when you need to find something specific quickly.
