    While Fin is an awesome investment, the setup and tuning of responses to meet brand alignment and delivery have taken some time. If you prioritize not just resolution rate and accuracy, but style and delivery, it's a bigger lift. However, for the vast majority of businesses, the step and its impact on resource management are a worthy investment.

    For what we are using the service for, it accomplishes everything that we need. We use it across a couple departments and it is very easy to keep track of everything scheduled so there is no confusion. We started using it at the beginning of the year and it's become very simple to navigate, which is great. That makes it much easier for me to train people how to use it.

    Pros
    Intercom
    • Answer easy questions based off of the knowledgebase I provided
    • It's decent with redirecting customers who aren't satisfied to a human agent (me)
    • I like how it quotes the article that it is using to the customer, I'm not sure how often they're actually clicking on that article, but it's nice that the option is there

    Cons
    Intercom
    • Customizing Fin by Intercom's escalation paths could be easier (ex. if there are some inquiries we don't want passed to the human team)
    • Reporting on conversations handled to completion by Fin by Intercom (not just those that are marked as "resolved")
    • It would be helpful to be able to indicate to Fin by Intercom when an answer is wrong, or train it on things that it shouldn't do (not only what it should do)

    • There was a recent update they did that was sort of hard to get adjusted to, things weren't in the same spot as normal and it was sort of difficult learning where things were located now.
    • It only shows you 7 mailings at a time by default, it would be nice to be able to change the default setting to whatever is preferred.
    • In the "server" I wish there was a way to filter by department, not just by users.

    We have been and will be continuing our journey with Intercom and nothing too concerning has happened that I have experienced or heard of that has us on the edge yet. If it ever happens it will be something along the lines of "Outgrowing" the use of need of the platform.

    Usability
    Intercom
    It's incredibly useful. You're honestly a little silly if you don't because it can handle simple conversations very easily and more in-depth conversations if you're willing to put in the work. It's great both as a customer success representative (with the AI agent) and as a higher-level customer success reporter.

    Intercom
    Intercom is the premier customer support/engagement model and it definitely has one of the top tier customer support teams as well. I don't think I have ever waited more than 5 minutes to get the information I need or get help with an issue. They are incredible and I aim to model our customer service department after them.

    The implementation was surprisingly easy but we are having to adapt from our old process to work well with Intercom.

    I used Zendesk briefly but found it difficult to navigate — I often couldn’t tell what was going on or how to simply reply to a ticket. In contrast, Intercom is much more intuitive and user-friendly. Its clean interface and support for multiple communication formats like emails, posts, and banners make client communication clear and efficient.

    Return on Investment
    Intercom
    • Since we implemented Fin AI in February, we have been able to support customer queries during non-business hours. This is a game changer. Fin has brought down response times and is also extremely capable of handling complex queries from our customers. We have seen closure rates go down by 24-30 hours, which is quite phenomenal.
