About Intercom

Intercom is bringing AI-first Customer Service to the world before anyone else, dramatically improving experiences for customers, support agents, and managers. Our AI-first platform is built on a single AI system, with three major components that will allow you to deliver the remarkable customer service you’ve spent decades striving for:

AI Agent: Customers no longer wait or get deflected. AI Chatbot provides instant accurate, responses, 24/7 to most questions. Only complex interactions transition to tickets.

AI Copilot: Agents no longer manually, slowly look things up. AI Copilot is ever-present, connected to all data and systems, and provides information in real time. Instant ramp time for new agents, and agents needing to know new things.

AI Analyst (Coming soon): Leaders no longer manually compile reports without full coverage. AI Insights proactively provides a holistic view across 100% of conversations, with clear suggested areas of improvement.

Intercom is also the most innovative and fastest improving product on the market.

    Intercom is great for Startups

    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!

    I remember the first time I started working with Intercom. It has been an absolute pleasure working with this software and they sure have a lot of positives. Working with their interface feels similar to working from home.

    Pros

    Intercom feels like a cozy space that often gives the sensation of an intimate space, while allowing a professional and efficient workspace. One can create several different inboxes that can optimise the work and offers good automation

    Cons

    Intercom doesn't offer as many integration options and some of their competitors. Because of that, one has to navigate through several tabs or pages. It doesn't sound bad, but when you spend 40 hours doing this, you can definitely see that one could save time (and money) with better integration options.

    When it works it is great, but the support team often avoids helping with issues and isn't available during a major outage.

    Pros

    It has great features, when they are working correctly.

    Cons

    There is no live support. During major outages, which are far from uncommon, it is impossible to reach anyone. Their support is only available via chat, with 1-5 business day response times. Since the support team uses the same chat platform they offer to customers, it isn't possible to reach someone during a major outage. The support is very low quality during emergency situations, so it is not a dependable tool for teams offering live customer support.

    Response from Intercom

    Bobby here from the customer support leadership team. Overall, sorry to see this and happy to chat more if you want — send me a message by email or LinkedIn DM!

    I also wanted to follow up on your feedback regarding our processes.

    We use Statuspage to communicate with customers during an incident or outage. We post as soon as we begin troubleshooting, share updates along the way, and communicate when it's resolved and what happened. You can also message us on Twitter during an incident, or send us an email.

    Intercom promises a 99.8% availability. We have never missed this, and on average exceed this target so outages are very rare thankfully.

    The CS team aims to respond within a few hours to 1 business day. Very soon we'll be even faster, and we'll continue to give human support to everybody.

    Pros

    It can be used for both email and live support. The workflows/automations make it easy to filter and close messages that are notifications so that only the important customer messages end up in the inbox

    I wish the platform had a flat rate for billing vs usage based
