Pros

Embedded chats with history are quite nice, it has both the messages and notes left by the supporting team members to each other. Chat itself works quite good and overall thing of a good quality.
Intercom is overall a really good, professional product. They have great quality of support, good training material, and they still keep releasing.
When we were first started using them, they were flexible, had great customer service, and seemed genuinely invested in helping us succeed.

Pros

It was and is an excellent tool, I still use it on some websites. The online chat and integration with websites is one of the great things that I really liked.
We feel like having a live chat has given us a competitive edge in our market and our customer response has been wonderful. The interface is easy to use and the technical support has been excellent.
So far, really good experience - contacted customer support and they were friendly and helpful.

Cons

Their customer service has been incredible poor. They caused a completely preventable service disruption that caused several hours of outage for our team, and have been difficult to get in touch with.
We have stuck with intercom for 4 years at this point and no plans to leave.
Updates may be lost, updates may be rejected by intercom because of server side exceptions, or mysterious thing called "concurrent updates" when there is just a single update.

Cons

For example, it's all drag and drop - so the entire chatbot can start to form a jumbled mess if you're not careful.
Missing tutorials in Spanish. Admin may know but end admin user doesn't know English.
The chatbot brought me first leads and subscribers. I was so shocked, that before with the standard chat no one contacted us - but with the automated chatbot I was getting and getting leads.

The new update is just outstanding

Reviewed 6 years ago

It is good, I got good leads just that I was not satisfied browsing through their admin panel.

Pros

The new chat widget design and its automation

Cons

The design for backend, I mean, It is not that friendly, THE UI is not attractive at all, This is an issue which I think is on all chat app except Intercom ofcourse.

Vendor response

Thank you for your honest review! We're doing our best to improve the UI and make things easier.
