Pros: The Fin AI capabilities to respond to requests and the outbound capabilities allowing our team to create a series of campaigns to increase signup rates.
Cons: The search functionality in the outbound section isn't very capable of finding messages that have been sent out.

Pros: The unified inbox is great for keeping track of customer conversations across different channels, like email and chat. It really helps our team stay organised and respond faster. The proactive messaging features are also pretty solid for engaging users at the right time, we've seen good results with those.
Cons: The pricing can get a bit steep as you scale up, especially if you need advanced features beyond the basic support. Also, some of the finer configuration options for automation rules took a bit to figure out, documentation could be clearer on that.

Pros: Intercom now is how it brings together customer communication and automation in a really seamless way. It makes it easy to have personalized, real-time conversations with customers while still scaling support through tools like bots and workflows.
Cons: It might be overwhelming for new users due to lot of settings and features. Definetly workfloes and automations are a strength but takes time to figure out.
Bandhavi B. · software · Information Technology and Services · April 3, 2026
Minha comunicação com a intercom é muito eficaz muito bom decifra o atendimento , eu gostei bastante

Pros: I really like how Fin understands questions quickly and gives accurate helpful answers. It feels like having an assistant that’s always available
Cons: Intercom Fin has difficulty handling very technical or uncommon questions. we still require a human to intervene
K.M. N. · Founder and CEO · Entertainment · March 1, 2026
My current company was already using Intercom when I arrived 4 years ago. They had recently switched from Zendesk, and everyone told me how much better it was. After 4 years, it's easy to see why. They continued to innovate with features like Fin AI. I haven't seen anything else on the market that would fit our needs better than what Intercom is doing.
Pros: Intercom does many things extremely well, but if I had to zero in on the two big ones for me, they are Help Center and Fin AI assistant. Both of these tools help thousands of our customers everyday without the need of staffing hundreds of support reps. We do have an excellent team of reps, but Intercom's Help Center and Fin AI take care of the most common customer interactions, so our reps have the bandwidth to engage with more complex customer issues.
Cons: I do wish Intercom's integration with Jira was a little more robust. It does send basic issue tracking data over, but some data points are missing, causing you to have to go hunt them down in Intercom instead of staying in Jira. I'm not sure if this limitation is on Intercom or on Jira though.
Matt B. · Director of Products · Computer Software · January 26, 2026
Overall, my experience was okay. I can't say that it was terrible, or very good. The things that I needed from the WFM side to calculate efficiencies wasn't something they provided, but from my standpoint, they were responsive in many other ways.
Pros: Intercom was easy to navigate from the end user standpoint, and it was easy overall to monitor from the WFM RTA perspective.
Cons: Intercom is limited in the Agent States. For instance, an agent was either in a chat or away. It was very difficult to calculate idle time without a status that is online - idle. This makes calculating utilization statistics difficult.
Carrie B. · Workforce Analyst · Computer Software · January 14, 2026
While we like a lot of the features of Intercom, we keep getting questioned if we can use another company considering its cost.
Pros: Intercom has a great help desk (support). It also uses AI in its platform along with email should you need assistance.
Cons: The cost seems to be high and it keeps continuing to increase. It may be hard to substantiate using if you are a small business considering the cost.
Anna H. · Litigation consulting · Insurance · January 7, 2026
Magnifico!!! This is all I can say. Truly amazing tools. What more can I say? It is absolutely perfect.
Pros: Reality has gone beyond my expectations. This is one of the greatest tools and truly worth the price. Our way of communicating and messaging our customers and clients has become more convenient and reliable and time saving.
Cons: Nah! Everything is perfect—the features, the setup, and the accessibility are things you will be delighted with.
Roldan T. · Data Entry Specialist · Airlines/Aviation · December 18, 2025
We have been using Intercom for years and are planning to increase the usage. We basically use Intercom for all the customer data and customer comms.
Pros: Modern and flexible service designed for B2b SaaS companies. Very good that the platform is developing constantly.
Cons: Pricing could be simpler; usage-based pricing is great but it can make the budgeting hard since the monthly usage.
Tomi P. · Chief Growth Officer · Information Technology and Services · November 11, 2025
Overall, it is a good experience with intercom being very user friendly and has all the features you need.
Pros: Using Intercom makes emails and chats very organized. Messaging is very secured that only the intended recipients can open the messages. Issues rarely happen but you can easily contact customer support on issues and set up assistance.
Cons: Searching Links in intercom is quite difficult. Especially if it is showing links that are not related to the one that you are searching for.
Joseph M. · Customer Concierge · Consumer Services · September 24, 2025
Intercom is a powerful customer communication platform with industry-leading automation and AI capabilities.
Pros: Without a doubt, what I like the most about INtercom is their AI agent called Fin. Fin can handle complex customer queries using natural language, significantly reducing the workload on support teams.
Cons: Intercom is expensive, especially for startups and small businesses. Their AI agent, Fin, charges about $0.99 per resolution, which adds up quickly at scale.
Marc G. · Director · Computer Software · August 25, 2025
Love Intercom, apart from the reports the ease to optimise Fin, help articles and workflows is great.
Pros: I've been using Intercom for 4 years and can see how much product improvements and new features Intercom invests in to. Intercom is a tool that makes CS a lot easier for not only Champions but also managers who are responsible for their team's metrics and improvements. Fin (the bot) and workflows are great tools for us that we've been using regularly.
Cons: I find Intercom's reports to not be easy to understand and read. It does require a lot of fine tunning to get a report you wish to have and that's very limiting.
Deniz K. · Senior Manager Customer Care · Insurance · August 21, 2025
If Intercom cannot help us stop FIN from responding once we join the conversation with a live agent, I'm not sure all of the other benefits matter.
Pros: AI does a great job picking up information to share with inquiries. We're also very happy with how it integrates with our other systems.
Cons: You cannot turn off the auto attendant (FIN) once you join the conversation. This is VERY confusing to the inquirer. Likewise, searching with a name, email or other search word rarely pulls up previous conversations (open or closed).
Rebecca D. · Alpha Advisor · Non-Profit Organization Management · August 20, 2025
Nothing but great. From transparent, clear pricing to a sleek product that feels native to our app (even though we haven’t fully leveraged it) they are, in my opinion, leading the way in shaping the present and future of support.
Pros: It’s a simple yet powerful tool that keeps our CX and sales teams running seamlessly. I really value their commitment to continuous innovation. Their AI tools and help center features are excellent, and everything feels incredibly intuitive. From inbound to outbound, it’s a fantastic platform for delivering outstanding CX.
Cons: There’s nothing I dislike. There are features I wish they offered, but that’s different from disliking anything.
Sofia B. · Head of Customer Success · Financial Services · August 19, 2025
The live chat is fast and responsive, and the ability to see user activity in real time adds a layer of context that makes support feel proactive rather than reactive.
Pros: Very secure and has an easy-to-use interface. Intercom brings live chat, email, and help desk tools into one sleek interface. That means less juggling between platforms and more seamless conversations.
Cons: Pulling reports and customizing them is challenging. While the UI is clean, some users wish for more flexibility in customizing chat widgets or automating workflows beyond what’s offered out of the box.
DAVIS O. · Customer Support Team Lead. · Information Technology and Services · August 19, 2025
There's a learning curve when trying to set up Intercom, but the support team is helpful (yes, [sensitive content hidden] is helpful too). Feedback is heard and new features enhance usability (shortcuts FTW).
Pros: The customisation options, workflows/rules and the integrations truly help to make Intercom your own. Keeping it simple with just a few features or building an overly complex message flow, it's all supported
Cons: Although AI definitely is the future of customer support, the last feature updates, webinars and other communication only revolve AI. More new content regarding non-AI usage is welcome!
Victor D. · Support, Analyst, QA · Marketing and Advertising · August 18, 2025
We've been using Intercom for roughly 3 years now, and although it hasn't been the smoothest ride, we're able to get the value for money with it. It's the best AI-first support platform available, and it looks like it will continue to remain so as development keeps going.
Pros: I like Fin because it's easy to implement and improve, and it continues to evolve. Intercom's analytics are also quite good, and their CX score rating is a game-changer.
Cons: There's not a lot to dislike. I would love it if Intercom allowed replies to conversations to be scheduled. Our support team has established operating hours, and so if someone works outside of those hours, we don't want to give our customers the impression that we're available 24/7.
Rael d. · Head of Support · Information Technology and Services · August 12, 2025
Overall I love using Intercom. I am customer support at our small company so I'm the one in Intercom every day Mon-Fri. It's mostly user-friendly but sometimes it's hard to find certain settings as they are everywhere. Intercom has made this a little better.
Pros: The inbox is so easy to use and the AI (FIN) is fantastic and getting better. I love the rephrase AI options on conversations. It's also easy to create articles and snippets.
Cons: It's so hard to find articles and snippets about certain aspects of our product to update them. I wish there was a message on the chat box that we could schedule to come up at a certain time on certain days.
Serena E. · Customer Support Manager · Computer Software · July 29, 2025
Fácil desde a negociação comercial. A implementação foi muito boa, os resultados então, nem se falam... tem muito mais features que nossa operação ainda subutiliza e temos um time muito bacana de acompanhamento que sempre está a nos orientar.
Pros: A facilidade de fazer. Não precisa ser entendedor de código, o no-code faz com que um leigo em programação, mas com visão de processo, facilite a vida de uma operação, seja de venda, suporte, etc...
Cons: Olha, é contraintuitivo: mas fico perdido com TANTA novidade que vocês lançam. Talvez tenha um "changelog" ou algo concentrado de histórico de informações, mas pelo menos não percebi a existência. Ai acabo sabendo das coisas pela minha CSM (excelente, por sinal) - mas tem muito da minha desorganização, também.
Danilo P. · Líder Operações · Information Technology and Services · July 25, 2025
Overall, my company loves Intercom. They've made a lot of improvements over the last two years, which has helped us maintain our commitment to using them as a vendor.
Pros: I like Fin most about Intercom. I took over managing our company's Fin (Intercom's AI agent for chat support) in January 2024. It's been fun improving our content and customer support to boost our resolution rate.
Cons: What I like least about Intercom is its complicated pricing structure. Some features have their own pricing structure instead of being included in a given tier, which is confusing when you see the value in one of their tools but don't have a clear pricing range to show to management to procure the tool.
Tommy M. · Knowledge Manager · Computer Software · July 21, 2025
efficient, fast, customizable some things are not obvious to me but Fin and customer support representatives manage to explain everything I find talking to a rep more productive than reading an article, but it's individual
Pros: variety of options to maximize my experience fast and detailed support, friendly operators the cactus growing kit
Cons: at the moment there is no solution to register a japanese phone number because of the inflexibility of the provider. why hasn't a new provider been found?
Anastasia Z. · Customer Support Manager · Health, Wellness and Fitness · July 9, 2025
Lo uso en mi trabajo como medio oficial de comunicación con mis clientes y siempre es muy rapido y eficaz
Pros: Me gusta mucho la interfaz es muy intuitiva y facil de usar. Tambien la fluidez que tiene al conversar es muy buena
Cons: A veces se poner lento, pero sería lo único. Trabajo todos los días con la herramienta y solo a veces lentitud
Laura E. · Ejecutiva de cuenta · Accounting · July 7, 2025
We see better engagement and quicker resolution times when providers or partners need clarification especially as it relates to dosing guidelines or regulatory documentation.
Pros: Intercom’s live chat and automated workflows enable us to coach healthcare providers in real time particularly in sensitive product inquiries. Integration with our CRM allows for a seamless handoff from support to account managers.
Cons: It becomes expensive as our contact list grows, its learning curve was visible to some of our non-technical staff.
Tim A. · Strategic Operations Director · Pharmaceuticals · July 6, 2025
Pros: It’s really easy to use and I’m able to jump in without any setup really. Ticketing is made easy and I’m able to collaborate.
Cons: I would say it’s not ideal for folks that need SLA tracking or escalations within the ticket itself. There are also some reporting drawbacks.
