Intercom has allowed us to change how we interact with customers and reduce phones with chat and email transactions to increase our level of output. It has also allowed us to create self help features for our customers. Now we can provide customers with assistance during our off hours.

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.

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.

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!

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.
