Easy to use and setup

Easy to use and setup!

Clean interface, although there are still some features missing in the new inbox. Pricing is a bit steep. I appreciate the responsiveness of the support and engagement teams. The simplicity of the UI is nice, I don't feel overwhelmed by a million features, toggles or settings.

Great integration tools

My overall experience with Intercom is great. I think it is a very useful tool and has a lot of potential because of it's integration options.

The only thing I am having a little trouble, is with the new Inbox. For me, it's harder to have a look and see what I have pendant in the Inbox list. It was easier for me with the old Inbox to check fast how much thing I had to do.

However, I think it's a great initiative to renew the inbox to improve speed and other features, so congratulations to all the team!

We really appreciate your feedback around Inbox 2 and I have shared this with the team working on the product. I can see how this could be frustrating!

Satisfied! But...

Easy to handle, packed with features. Everything about the intercom is top-notch just the notification, I got the sound 2-3seconds before the chat appears on my laptop. I tried it on my phone it works perfectly.

Worst customer support ever

Worst customer support ever. We've been customers 6 years and they always treated us very bad. We spend over 100k per year and it takes days for them to reply and when they reply the response is never helpful. If you are looking for a Customer Support software, don't user Intercom!

Hi Javi - we appreciate you taking the time to tell us about your recent experience with Intercom, I'm sorry it hasn't been a good one. We appreciate your loyalty over the last 6 years and hope we can turn our relationship around. I'm guessing this review is in relation to a recent conversation I can see within Intercom about billing which has now been resolved through a call with Ciara. I hope that we can continue to show our commitment to improving this relationship and can win back your loyalty.

Overall it works

Overall it works, I just didn't like that when I asked to make a separate folder for issues (i.e. a customer has reported a bug and it's going to take some time to fix), I was told we'd have to upgrade in order to do that. It seems a pretty simple thing to drag and drop a conversation into a new folder. Why does it cost so much more?

Hey one more thing, the ability to turn conversations into help articles might be nice.

Help centers need to be updated

Intercom is amazing and allows for so much customization, but the help center feature is definitely lacking compared to others I've seen. Collections are not enough to separate and organize articles, and Sections are essentially nothing more than headers. I feel we would make better use of Intercom's help center feature if subfolders were possible. Outside of the help center, however, I've had a great experience. :)

Easy to use with friendly UI

It is very easy to use when communicating with your clients.
You have a clear view of your open chats as well as open chats in general.
Getting to a desire section, be it Contacts or Articles is easy, as the UI is clear and easy to use.
Lastly, the editor of articles is just right, as it offers you enough options to edit the text visually.

My experience with Intercom has been mostly positive

My experience with Intercom has been mostly positive. I have been testing the Series and I think most of it works very well.

There are some bugs. For instance, if we edit some nodes, like webhooks, when we save and try to edit them again immediately after, we do not see the changes we just made.

The Series also need some aditional features, like the ability to edit some custom attributes of an user depending on how he/she engages. Tags are nice, but being able to change custom attributes during a Series would give us more flexiblity.

We also would like to get data about a Series via API. As far as I know, today the only way to do it is by manually download some CSV files via the web interface. We'd like to automatize our analysis, thus, the hability to get data related to a Series would be very important

Mobile App Notifications, Web Performance

I keep receiving notification on the mobile app that doesn't concern me or include me as a member in channel "x" in a certain channel, for example, someone from channel "x" assigned this conversation to channel "y".

When I receive a new message it takes time to refresh the page.

Hi Ali - thanks for taking the time to leave Intercom a review and letting us know your feedback. I think the reason that you are receiving those notifications is due to your notification settings which you can easily update:
- Click on your avatar in the bottom left-hand corner
- Click "Your account"
- Go to "Notifications"

Here you can see all the different reasons that you are receiving notifications and will hopefully be able to update them so that you are only receiving the relevant ones!

Very good software and easy to use

Very good software, this CRM that actually offers nice features (series, bot, articles, reports and much more), and it is easy to use.
I really love the fact that users can rate our team, their feedback is precious!
Intercom team is always nice, polite and willing to help.

I don't have any complaint, but I am not so experienced as an Itercom user which is why I didn't rate 5 stars.

I like it, but every day it gets more expensive.

I like working with Intercom, it is the third company in which I request to have Intercom to work with my teams. But since I started using intercom, the options for Startup are increasingly limited, and it is very complex to pay for these prices. There are many tools that are very useful, but have a very high cost. Today I analyze new companies for this service, only for cost issue.

Non existent support

Non existent support, service or troubleshooting assistance. Relationship Manager non responsive, and no timely response through automated troubleshooting when required. We have experienced shocking issues around inconsistencies in the deployment of Chat Bots, and were also given assurance around features that would be available that simply aren't. Would recommend avoiding if you're scoping for a provider.
