Opiniones de Intercom

De lo mejor a nivel producto, pero con una atención al cliente nefasta

Puntos a favor:

A nivel de producto están continuamente evolucionándolo y sacando nuevas funcionalidades que ayudan a crecer tu negocio. Series, para desarrollar campañas a tus clientes es brutal, se puede combinar con mensajes a través de un banner, un mensaje in-app o un email principalmente. Eso sí es un servicio caro. Tiene una herramienta para helpcenter muy práctica y con buena relación calidad-precio. Para soporte por chat con los clientes quizá hay alternativas mucho mejores pero si no requieres de mucha complicación te servirá. Además tiene productos como chatbot, product tours, multitud de integraciones con otras apps y pequeñas funcionalidades que por supuesto incrementarán su coste y no podrás tener todo... A nivel de integración es bastante sencillo y permite mucha personalización.

Puntos en contra:

El mayor inconveniente es el inexiste servicio de atención al cliente, para contratar el producto o probar nuevas funcionalidades no tendrás problema pero si realmente te encuentras con un problema grave, por experiencia hemos tenido varios como problemas con la renovación de un contrato o el envío de emails en una campaña, lo más seguro es que o no tengas una respuesta clara o que se vayan pasando la consulta de unos a otros sin ayudarte

Profesionalidad

Comentarios: En general nuestra experiencia con este software es muy buena ya que nos ha permitido ayudar a nuestros clientes de una forma profesional y rápida.

Puntos a favor:

Lo que mas nos ha gustado del software es la profesionalidad con la que ven nuestros clientes la interfaz y la facilidad que tienen de comunicarse con nosotros, además cabe destacar que muchas veces a través de las respuestas configuradas que tenemos muchos clientes encuentran su respuesta sin tener que contactar con un agente.

Puntos en contra:

Lo que menos nos ha gustado por decir algo que es un software que incluye unos planes con un precio muy elevado y podría incluir alguno más asequible para empresas más pequeñas.

El mejor Chat

Puntos a favor:

Software de gran calidad y con muchas opciones para gestionar el servicio de atención al cliente

Puntos en contra:

Por ahora no te tengo ninguna queja, cumple las expectativas, no es barato pero vale lo que cuesta

Intercom es una plataforma super sencilla de usuar pero genera mucho valor corporativo.

Comentarios: En generar es una herramienta practica, el precio vs el valor que aporta a cualquier compañia es justo.

Puntos a favor:

Facil de utilizar - Diseño es estetico lo que hace que puedas comprender con facilidad las funciones

Puntos en contra:

No me gusta que hay que darle al botón "enviar" para que se envíe el mensaje al cliente o usuarios internos. Deberia funcionar con solo dar "enter"

El mejor software de Servicio al Cliente

Comentarios: Excelente, recomiendo a toda empresa que preste un servicio sea a través de Chat o Email.

Puntos a favor:

Lo que más me gusta de este software, es la facilidad que nos brindan los MACROS, son muy sencillos de usar y nos facilitan la vida diariamente. Nunca he tenido falla en la conexión, a veces por softwares de terceros se torna un poco lento, pero la respuesta de Intercom en general es excelente. Los detalles autómaticos del cliente que nos contacta, es precisa, la opción de ver la locación para detectar la zona horaria, me parece una de las mejores herramientas de este sofware.

Puntos en contra:

A veces la asignación de tickets no es 100% precisa, se podría mejorar en cuanto a este punto.

Not Much Competition

Comentarios: Everything has been fantastic from the Customer Success-led implementation process to it being deployed to our users. Multiple compliments on the feasibility of use since purchasing.

Puntos a favor:

From both the administrative and user perspective, the ease of use and just overall depth of what you can create with the product is very impressive. It allows a great amount of customer support to be automated and simplify it's delivery via articles and a knowledge base that'll continually grow. Although it's not the biggest feature, as a user, I love that it's focused on getting you an answer/resolution the quickest way possible given the same entry method. Type "adding users" in an application with Intercom support will quickly both deliver you articles that can potentially solve your problem or will also quickly deploy a CSM to you to answer it directly in case it was a bit more complex. Best part though is the feedback cycle, you're typing exactly what you want to know into the application and if no articles return: New Content Topic.

Puntos en contra:

Theres really not much. I've run into situations where it was wrongly applied within other organizations and not properly resourced, giving a less than average experience. But that's not as much specific to Intercom themselves. Given they are the industry leader, it can come at a premium for a larger organizations.

Review on Intercom

Comentarios: It has significantly improved my team's efficiency in handling customer queries and has made our support process more personalized and engaging. I would highly recommend Intercom to any business looking to enhance their customer support experience.

Puntos a favor:

As a user, I've found Intercom to be a highly efficient and user-friendly platform for customer service. I appreciate the real-time messaging capabilities, which allow me to quickly respond to customer inquiries and streamline the support process.

Puntos en contra:

I sometimes find that the platform's extensive feature set can be overwhelming, making it challenging to navigate and fully utilize all the available tools.

Awful product with terrible support

Comentarios: Support was terrible. They often provided 'create something custom through our API' as the solution to most of the inadequacies of the product. They also rarely listen or read the problem correctly and I would spend a bunch of time trying to implement the solution they provided only to find out it didn't meet any of the criteria I provided. You know its bad when a support tool lacks good support!

Puntos a favor:

Admin interface is visually appealing. Widget is not.

Puntos en contra:

Lacks basic/rudimentary functionality. Simple things like auto triggering a message at the company level when specific criteria is met is not possible. Tagging system is not easy to use and lacks basic features. Can't customize inboxes as needed. I felt like you product blog was so delightful that your product would be the same but it felt like you weren't living your word. Nothing was easy on this product.

The chats are well organized and the interface is easy to use

Comentarios: Productivity is boosted when clients are given the tools to address their own issues thanks to a comprehensive knowledge base (KB) that addresses frequently asked questions (FAQs). Because of this, support staff are spared the hassle of repeatedly responding to the same inquiries and may instead focus on more complex issues.

Puntos a favor:

I am not aware of anything Intercom is doing at the moment that could be useful to our firm because we have switched to a different service. To my knowledge, the snippets support name integration.

Puntos en contra:

While competing software may provide knowledge managers greater say over their presentations, I find that the trade-off isn't worth it. Still, there are occasions when extra formatting options for authors and editors would be welcome.

Intercom: The Chat Solution Your Business Needs to Succeed

Comentarios: Our overall experience with Intercom has been positive. The product has enabled us to provide better support to our customers, improve our workflow, and make data-driven decisions. The features are comprehensive and easy to use, and the integration with our existing business processes was seamless.

Puntos a favor:

I appreciate Intercom's comprehensive set of features that enable businesses to provide personalized support to their customers in real-time. The mobile access and customizable branding features, in particular, enhance accessibility and improve the customer experience. The screen sharing and third-party integration features are also impressive and have made our workflow more efficient.The most impactful features of Intercom, in my opinion, are the chat/messaging feature, website visitor tracking, and activity tracking. These features enable us to communicate with our customers in real-time, make data-driven decisions, and improve our chat strategy. Overall, the product is easy to use, and the integration with our existing business processes was seamless.

Puntos en contra:

One thing I didn't like about Intercom was the pricing, as it may be more expensive than some of its competitors who try to accommodate even start-ups, at low rates. Additionally, some features, such as the offline form, could be improved to provide more flexibility and customization options.

Intercom makes potential customers visible

Comentarios: Intercom is currently being used in our company's software-as-a-service division within their customer service, sales, support and marketing departments. It has been very useful for monitoring user behavior across multiple software programs, finding and recruiting potential customers, and engaging and rewarding current customers. It was quick to implement and easy to learn, and we were up and running in a matter of minutes. Having the ability to observe our customers and their performance has significantly increased our accountability to our customers and improved the way we talk to them.

Puntos a favor:

The privileges that Intercom grants to each member of the public make it easy to select and prioritize the final recipients of a message. I find it fascinating that Intercom is always creating and perfecting their system. They are constantly changing in a positive way, adding new features that make the experience more enjoyable. Intercom has simplified the process of creating professional messages that are simple, clean and modern, yet interesting. They support virtually any media you want to include in a modern message or email (.gifs, embedded videos, photos) and custom HTML/CSS emails if needed.

Puntos en contra:

Intercom offers detailed attribute filtering, but it would be helpful if there was more advanced filtering logic, similar to Salesforce's filtering logic. Although Intercom already does an excellent job of reporting individual analytics on engagement messages, I would like to see more advanced analytics dashboards and reports that reveal user activity and interaction, as well as user engagement.

This software help me a lot!

Puntos a favor:

Intercom makes it simple to interact with customers; its simple and user-friendly design allows me to easily start and maintain discussions. Furthermore, its customization options enable me to personalize communications to certain customer types or deliver targeted messages based on automated triggers. I really appreciate how Intercom can be coupled with other platforms such as Salesforce and Zendesk, which allows me to communicate with clients in a number of ways. The reporting capabilities of Intercom are particularly beneficial for identifying user activity and responding fast to customer needs. Overall, Intercom is a great tool for staying in touch with customers, whether through newsletters or automated support.

Puntos en contra:

The intercom system has been commendable, with only a few minor hiccups or delays here and there which are understandable. Apart from that, it functions without a hitch, and this is a testimony to the diligent work put in by the development team. Their efforts have been invaluable in ensuring a smooth operation of the intercom system.

Keep your Customer Satisfied with your Service Response

Comentarios: We use it for instant support for our SaaS product and ensure that customer concerns are clarified instantly. And we use it for lead generation from our website as well. Overall it is really useful and valuable tool for both Customer Support and Response.

Puntos a favor:

Great multi-channel messaging platform with advanced segmentation. Helps to connect customers with our team immediately to resolve their concerns immediately.

Puntos en contra:

The initial setup was a bit complicated and customization has some limitations. Has some issues when dealing with multiple products.

Review on intercom

Comentarios: We have significantly reduced the resolution time for customer inquiries by leveraging the platform's ability to access help articles promptly, effortlessly involve other team members in the conversation, and utilize integrations such as co-browsing and attaching help articles to swiftly resolve any issues that may arise.

Puntos a favor:

As a consumer, I have observed that Intercom is a remarkably effective and user-friendly tool for managing customer service. I am grateful for its ability to offer real-time messaging features, which enable me to promptly address customer inquiries and simplify the support process.

Puntos en contra:

At times, I perceive that the platform's broad range of features can be overpowering, resulting in difficulties in navigating and comprehensively utilizing all the provided tools.

Intercom is great.

Puntos a favor:

Intercom is great for chats ,emails, and data collection.

Puntos en contra:

Sometimes there is a lag in intercom and some data metrics are harder to find than others. Also the connection with other platforms could be easier.

Complete Package

Comentarios: We had the opportunity to start fresh with a new ticket system/knowledge base so were shopping around. We came across Intercom and never looked back. While it has those things it is so much more being a central place to manage all our client related communications. It is by far the application I use most day-to-day.

Puntos a favor:

Using Intercom has been an amazing experience. It is well thought out, full featured and continues to improve all the time. It has become an essential tool to communicate with our leads/clients. What is great is we can reach them (and they reach us) wherever they are: our website, in our web app, our mobile apps, email, etc.

Puntos en contra:

While it starts off cheap depending on the features you choose to use and your volume it can start to get expensive quick. I'm not saying the product still doesn't provide value (it absolutely does) just if I had to pick what I liked least I would say cost.

Adds Much More Value Than You Realise

Comentarios: While the price tag for Intercom is not small, especially for startups launching their first mobile app versions, it has consistently proven to be one of the most valuable assets for teams in terms of user support, communication & out-of-the-box development readiness.

Puntos a favor:

The in-app chat feature (with its cross-platform support for React Native and Ionic) is absolutely the biggest differentiator for Intercom. It is a critical part of our day-to-day operations & every client that has gone the route of implementing it with us has been hugely surprised by the large amount of value it adds to end users.

Puntos en contra:

We are facing ongoing complications differentiating identified and unidentified users. The experimental API available for Android seemed to be heading in the right direction to solve this, but we haven't seen updates on the stub implementation for iOS in over a year (https://github.com/intercom/intercom-ios/blob/master/Intercom.framework/Headers/Intercom%2BExperimental.h).

My favourite support tool

Comentarios: Only good experience overall
Great support team
Price could be better

Puntos a favor:

Easiest support tool to have. Makes your team very accessible, also makes the support process simple for the end users Good integrations and useful statistics provided

Puntos en contra:

Pricing - it is not very cheap. Pricing also often changes Help center tool - it could really use some help and updates Also, a lot of Add block tools catch Intercom as an ad and blocks it - thus creating inconvenience for end users having to choose between

Great product, poor pricing and support

Comentarios: Intercom helped us provide better support and engage more visitors and clients.

Puntos a favor:

Intercom is super easy to use and implement. It's packed with time-saving features.

Puntos en contra:

Their support team is driving us crazy. It can take them up to 10 days to reply to a simple question. Their pricing is also super frustrating. We're paying more than 500€/month. For a company with less than 10 employees and 1,300 paying clients, this is a lot of money. Despite what we pay, we don't have access to their most recent features.

Mostly great, with some glaring issues

Comentarios: Mostly positive, but even so we are in the process of switching to another tool that has more straightforward pricing and complete features.

Puntos a favor:

Generally Intercom is easy to use and their documentation is quite good, so it's usually easy to find the answer to any question we might have. Anytime a new feature or change is rolled out, they offer pretty solid onboarding and walk you through how to get the most out of it. In terms of capabilities, I'd say Intercom offers more than most. Many options for integrations. We use it for lead generation, email marketing, customer engagement, and tickets. In all cases it is pretty quick and easy to use and easy to collaborate with team members.

Puntos en contra:

We've been using Intercom for years without any significant issues, but over the past 2-3 years it has grown and evolved in ways that haven't always been positive. Their customer support is much slower and less responsive than they once were. As they've added new features and capabilities they've also increased fees and now you have to pay separately for every tiny thing. It seems like every single feature in the platform requires a paid upgrade and this rapidly and significantly increases the cost. Reporting is very weak and only goes back a few months (it's so bad that we don't use any of it... all of our reporting is done externally with integrations).Finally, and perhaps most significantly, many of their features don't really work the way they are marketed or the way that you'd expect. This has led to continuous disappointments when we learn that certain features don't really do what they claim to do. They are must more limited than they appear, and when you speak to their customer support about it they are always scrambling to offer you some sort of a workaround. Workarounds can be fine, but they shouldn't be required so frequently, especially for such an expensive tool.

A powerful messaging platform for customer engagement

Comentarios: Intercom is a cloud-based messaging platform designed to help businesses communicate with customers in real-time. It offers a suite of tools that include chat, email, and in-app messaging, which enables businesses to interact with their customers seamlessly.

Puntos a favor:

Intercom is a robust messaging platform that offers businesses multiple communication channels, customizable messaging, and powerful analytics. While it may be relatively expensive, it is an excellent option for businesses seeking to improve customer engagement and streamline their customer communication strategy.

Puntos en contra:

While Intercom offers some customization options, businesses may find it challenging to make significant changes to the platform's appearance and functionality. Intercom's advanced features may be overwhelming for businesses that are new to messaging platforms, requiring a learning curve to utilize the system effectively.

Intercom is The Best chat/support tool available

Comentarios: The business problems we are solving using Intercom are managing incoming requests and sending in-app messages and emails. And Intercom does this with flying colors. Regardless if a user messages us live on our site, via email, or even Facebook, our support team is easily able to reply and help. It also integrates perfectly with our app to provide full visibility of a user easily accessing their profile to gain deeper insights to assist the user even more effectively. There's a reason Intercom is growing so quickly; because it's a great product and is built with quality.

Puntos a favor:

What I like most about Intercom is how easy it is to jump in and begin assisting users with their questions and requests. It's been an invaluable tool for communicating with our users (both clients and developers) on Codeable and we've been relying on it 365 days a year for 5+ years straight. There are so many new features they keep releasing which are often things we didn't realize we need until we tried them and discovered we can't live with them.

Puntos en contra:

For the size of our support team and number of messages we send, Intercom is one of the more expensive SaaS products we use. There are other services that may manage a support center better, but those don't provide the same quality of live chat, self-serving help center, or messenger bots that Intercom provides. While cost is a consideration for all companies, we feel Intercom is still the best value for the money and are happy paying the price for all the value it brings us.

Intercom is a decent tool with broad uses

Comentarios: While the tool has a great deal of potential, the quality of the support and account management teams are horrific. (They used to be much more skilled but as the company scaled the knowledge/expertise of the support and customer success teams dropped off a cliff, often knowing little to nothing about their own product).

Puntos a favor:

Intercom is great for communicating within your web based product via chat. It's relatively effective as a marketing channel for in-app communication to customers. It has fair amount of rich content options, though they cost extra.

Puntos en contra:

Compared to Drift, Intercom is extremely limited for a sales/lead-gen channel when used on a public website. It's pricing model is also crippling for high traffic sites. The customer support and account management is absolutely horrible.

Good product let down by atrocious customer support and shady pricing practices

Comentarios: We've been with Intercom for a number of years and unfortunately the customer service in the last 18 months has been atrocious. It's not possible to call anybody... everything is done via chat, which would be fine if they responded in a timely fashion but often it takes weeks to respond and often they'll just go radio silent. The irony. Whilst the product is very good, it will get VERY expensive VERY quickly once you start using the whole suite of products. Their constant changing of product names and pricing options is annoying to say the least, particularly when you come to use a feature that was previously within your package only to find it's been moved into a more expensive package and you need to upgrade to use it. Oh, and then there's the annual auto-renew buried in the small print so if you decide to move away from Intercom which we have just decided to do, you'll probably be tied in for longer than you expect.

Puntos a favor:

The software to be fair is the best integrated product out there if you need live chat, knowledgebases, chatbots, outbound marketing etc., all in the same package. The range of features is VERY comprehensive. Outbound campaigns are really nice as is the knowledgebase.

Puntos en contra:

Notifications for incoming chats are poor. If your support team are doing tasks other than sitting on Intercom all day it's easy to miss incoming chats. The AI bots are more miss than hit in my experience when it comes to suggesting solutions and some of the bot responses are simply bewildering.

Effective, Easy to you, and worth learning additional features

Comentarios: Overall it has been good. I took the time to learn about some of the features and it has benefited me and the team greatly.

Puntos a favor:

I enjoy the interface and how you can create macros. It is easy to collaborate with the team.

Puntos en contra:

It can feel a bit anti-intuitive at times. This is something that has stopped us previously from using the product. There is also the hidden/paywalled features that are priced excessively that you need to contact a sales team to get.
