Intercom, particularly its Fin AI chatbot, functions as a comprehensive customer interaction platform, primarily for support across live chat, email, WhatsApp, and bots. Organizations leverage it as a central ticketing system for timely issue resolution.

Fin by Intercom Review

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Fin by Intercom as our first line of defense for support. Fin by Intercom is the first interaction any user makes with our support team, and we love that it is able to resolve most of the simple questions or problems that our users contact support with. Fin by Intercom is great at solving questions about simple user setup as well as walking through more complex issues such as resolving errors.

Pros

  • Answering simple questions (i.e. how do I...)
  • Providing guidance on errors a user may be encountering
  • Reads images sent by users

Cons

  • We see AI hallucinations quite often
  • Fin by Intercom regularly says "i'll connect you to the support team" but never does
  • Fin by Intercom also says "the support team will do this for you" but never sends the chat to support and closes it out. The user never gets helped

Likelihood to Recommend

I have not been able to utilize Fin by Intercom over emails. This is simply because we have seen so much variance between Fin by Intercom killing it with a good answer or completely missing and providing an answer that came out of left field. Because I can't 100% trust that Fin by Intercom will be sending correct information, I haven't turned it on over email yet.

Must use Intercom - Very efficient and easy to use

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it to support customers who cannot call in for help. I use it to help customers outside of working hours. I use it to assist other colleagues using Intercom and train them on the new Intercom interface.

Pros

  • Closing emails down quickly
  • Assigning emails out automatically
  • Using smart software to pick up common replies and using them by pressing #

Likelihood to Recommend

I have found it very useful especially using Intercom as a team in our team inbox. If you are on the new Intercom interface you see who is viewing what email and who is replying to what email. I have suggested others upgrade to the new style to make it easier when supporting customers.

A Support Tool Hero!

Rating: 6 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're using Intercom to support our customers through chat and help guides. We also utilize Intercom to distribute email campaigns to target certain audiences.

Pros

  • Targeted Email Campaigns
  • Support Chat
  • Integration with Slack

Cons

  • Cleaner View with Support Chat
  • Clearer Explanation of Offerings with Subscription Level

Likelihood to Recommend

I like Intercom, however, I don't know much about other solutions similar to it, so I'm not sure how likely I would be to recommend it, not knowing what else is out there. I do enjoy that they have an app, it's pretty easy to use but there is somewhat of a learning curve before feeling comfortable with it.
