The backbone of our whole customer relation operation Intercom is the backbone of our whole customer relation operation. We use it to communicate, on-board, and support our users. It is an overall great product but it still suffers from some small UX glitches. You can find yourself looking at stale data in the UI and losing work to some misplaced clicks.

There has been complete silence from the sales team. The product seems pretty cool... The problem is, I will never know because, since a serious call with someone from the sales team, I haven't heard anything back. I have reached out multiple times because we were interested in implementing the tool internally, but apparently, our company is not interesting enough for them. It's a shame...

Pricing is designed by scam artists I trusted Intercom for years. But when you investigate the invoices, you will find hidden charges. The best one is where they link pricing to the term 'active users'. In the small print, they write their own definition of 'active users' which includes non-active users from 90 days ago! These are the pricing tactics of true scam artists. For example, If you have 200 chats this month with no other messages sent. But you sent 1 email campaign 90 days ago to 5800 people. They will charge you the rate for 6000 'active' users for the current month. Buyer beware, as it is very difficult to stop using Intercom once you have integrated into your business. We have finally decided to bite the bullet and move to another tool at less than 20% of the cost.

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.

Amazing improvements to the help center… Amazing improvements to the help center (articles). I'm in charge of keeping all of our articles (writing, updates, etc). Intercom has been making lots of changes to the interface recently that makes my job easier! * Note call out boxes (with COLOR) * tables (formatting, resizing columns, color) * new headers 3 and 4 * "chapters" on the right when you are reading an articles * ability to hide the author (so it's not my name/face everywhere) * more levels within collections They just keep making tiny tweaks that make a HUGE difference!
