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.

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.

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.

Poor interview process Poor interview process, do not get back to you unless you reach out yourself. Nice way to leave candidates hanging!

Intercom is a great tool but their… Intercom is a great tool but their sales practices are questionable. They are not transparent, it's very difficult to understand the actual cost of their services and they do everything they can to charge you extras even when you do not use them. It's a shame that they act this way because they will lose their customer base at some point, considering extra costs can add up real quick and for no reason on the customer's point of view.
