Fin by Intercom vs. WalkMe

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.

WalkMe is a great tool to support digital transformation efforts at an organization--it can reduce the training/learning time for both the users and the creators. It can also support onboarding, change management, data integrity, and creating a seamless connection between platforms and many others. It's not a tool for simple, intuitive platforms that do not change frequently.

• Great UI - everyone has their own inbox but can still see all incoming messages.
• Fin AI - we love the AI functionality, it saves tons of time of the team.
• Automated emails - we configured Intercom in a way that it uses a lot of information we have about our users (e.g. their subscription, date of upgrade, etc.) so that we can use it to automate communication.

• No more communicating via email - conditional shoutouts to relay a message
• Automating processes to increase productivity and reduce frustration
• Fabulous analytics
• Training at the point of need - no more searching for the relevant training elsewhere
• Adding a link to automatically start any WalkMe solution from anywhere using 'Permalinks' is great!

• Some things are repetitive. Ex: If you provide guidance to ask a follow-up question, it'll ask that follow-up question each time.
• It'd be cool to have a "vibe" check for auto-sorting. Ex: We have responses to our outreach feed into Intercom. It'd be cool to have a way to auto-sort based on if they ask a detailed question or just a plain "interested" response.
• It'd be cool if Fin by Intercom flagged conversations, like it a customer seemed agitated, for the team to review.

• I would like to see some way to manage versions of the help from release to release, as currently the only way to see/roll a help item back to a time in the past is to revert to that time.
• We had run into some issues with duplicating images in the Assets Library, but that has just been fixed!

It's currently a perfect fit for our needs, and we are customer-focused and small. When we grow, we may need to re-evaluate, but our current team finds it easy. Reviewing conversations is simple and allows for great training. The canned replies make service fast and easy. Smart suggestions remove the need to re-write technical walkthroughs and explanations for our FAQ

It takes a bit of getting used to. It's easy to start off with simple pieces of answering queries, etc. The real part is when one tries to use workflows with triggers and automation. Then, it can be a whole different experience. I would love to see it being much simpler in terms of usability there.

WalkMe has done a great job of making their tool easy to use. However because it is a Firefox plugin it causes me to need another browser and sacrifice the left 2 - 3 inches of my display, when working on a laptop this makes it a bit painful. Also when publishing you can organize your list of walk-thrus, the window size is small and limited to the constraints of the WalkMe tool.

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 WalkMe Support Team was phenomenal. My support rep made a genuine effort to ensure my success with using the WalkMe Software. She was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable on the software. If there was a question she did not know the answer too, she would find the answer and get back to me as soon as possible

Easy to know the learning path

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

In my experience, what Intercom has done with Fin by Intercom is far more innovative and forward thinking than other tools I've used. It's intuitive, easy, and they are always releasing new things to make Fin by Intercom even more powerful.

I couldn't successfully implement this product for trial and found support help was delayed. In comparison, despite also being based in another country, WalkMe's support was quick to help with queries and always eager to address the issue and go above and beyond to make sure I had the information I needed.

• I like how I don't feel like I need to constantly be monitoring support, especially on weekends
• It's great that the user will get some response right away, I just need to hope that the response they do get is good enough if I'm awk

• 79% of our customers using a walk-thru agree that it has made it easy to handle their issue.
• WalkMe has helped us lower costs associated with phone and ticket based support. Using WalkMe to promote self help over ticket creation has reduced our ticket contacts by 50%.
• Many on our development team are leery of WalkMe. It is allowing someone outside of their department access to modify the user experience. However our leadership teams have been onboard with it.
