What differentiates Intercom from other similar products?

Unlike its competitors in the market, it is highly customizable. It assists users in drafting chatbot flows by analyzing the demands of customers, and their engagement. It integrates with other parties in such a way as to give complete way for customer contact with different touchpoints. This makes itself versatile for changing environments.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Although I like many things about this product, one thing that I like above all is its ability to deliver personalized and dynamic conversation. Unlike others, the intercom’s Custom Bots are mainly reliant upon the customer’s nature and interest. This factor makes the user practicable in offering important backing. Moreover, its seamless integration with other parties generates a unified experience.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Talking in terms of its features, I would say that each of its features is my favorite. Besides this, one thing that sometimes creates concern for users is its pricing. Although the advanced features justify the prices of small to mid-sized corporations, it is a bit difficult to get benefit from all of its additional capabilities.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For anyone considering Intercom’s chatbot software, I would recommend going through your customer support, engagement, and needs.

Pros

Performance Enhancing

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.

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.

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.

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.
