Transparent way to add custom responds… Transparent way to add custom responds automatically. The way of sorting the cases is not optimized as well. But globally, it's a good tool.

Good Knowledge Base. It would benefit from additional editing capabilities. I write articles for a system KB, and Intercom gives our users an easy way to access that content without leaving our application UI. I just wish some more editing/formatting improvements were introduced. E.g., table cells can't be easily aligned, or the posts (pop-up messages) don't display exactly how you anticipated while writing the draft, for example, if you add some extra lines to distribute the content, those are not always added when the message appears.

Easy to set up. Big impact immediately. We set up our Rippl chatbot using Intercom in only a few hours, and it has handled many thousands of conversations with users so far. There are plenty of guides and tutorials. Adding it to our landing page was easy as we only needed to add a few lines of code. We are now able to focus on handling the complicated questions that really need human answers.

Poor Support, Breaks their own terms of service During the sales process we were promised integration with our CRM (Dynamics 365) but then after signing up found out that it does not exist. But really what makes this one star is Intercom's horrible customer support. Their team takes anywhere from 1 week to over 1.5 months to reply to requests. Additionally, we requested our contract not to auto-renew but they did anyway and will not honor their own terms of service.

Charging outrageous amounts for tools… Charging outrageous amounts for tools that are needed in small companies, and the platform is full of glitches, malfunctions, slowdowns, if I found something better for my company I would absolutely move right away. Plus, the android app is simple rubbish, unusable. The response from Intercom is generic, does not engage the exact things I'm pointing, they're crazy charging what they're charging and not offering modular ways for clients to build their own plans, as I might need some stuff from the expensive plan but not the remaining 98% of features. They're simply blindly hungry.
