What differentiates Intercom from other similar products?

Esse to use and complete solution are probably the two characteristics that I see as being diferential in Intercom. The product provides good UX and ways to meet every product messaging/communication need with our users. We intend to actually use intercom as the central guidelines for our whole push and messaging central due this. I see there a good way to prosper on this attention management. It's integration to CRM (Salesforce in our case) is great but also segment plays a major role for us to proper operate our business and messaging strategy

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The series feature is beyond nice, it is amazing. It allows us to leverage a lot of our messaging strategy.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The csv import method is not very user friendly

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Go for it. Align your segment or event tracker product with it, connect your CRM and go for it.

What differentiates Intercom from other similar products?

It works very simply compared to others.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Being able to get up and running very quickly.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Pricing is a bit complicated and over the top for some of the features and makes it hard for smaller businesses to justify purchasing.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Definitely look at using the full capabilities of the platform - don't just use the chat feature and leave it, as you can do so much more with the customisations and integrations that can help automate your work.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
