Opinones de Intercom
Intercom is great for chat
Alternativas consideradas:
software completo para cualquier SaaS
Comentarios: Muy contentos desde que eramos una startup e incluso ahora como scaleup
Puntos a favor:
La posibilidad de centralizar toda la información y los equipos de ventas, customer success y marketing en un mismo sitio. Soluciones con una UX impresionante y muy fácil de utilizar.
Contras:
Al ser un programa que centraliza toda la comunicación con clientes y prospectos terminas trabajando con todo el suite y la factura acaba subiendo mucho de precio a final de mes.
Una excelente herramienta para mejorar el servicio de atención al cliente
Comentarios: He experimentado una mejora significativa en la comunicación con los clientes. El chat en tiempo real y el historial de transcripciones me permiten brindar respuestas rápidas y personalizadas. Sin embargo, la falta de soporte para ciertas funciones avanzadas a veces puede limitar la capacidad de resolver problemas complejos de manera eficiente.
Puntos a favor:
El chat en tiempo real dirigido a consumidores permite una comunicación instantánea y personalizada, lo que brinda una experiencia de atención al cliente ágil y efectiva.
Contras:
La implementación de un chatbot puede tener limitaciones en la comprensión y respuesta a consultas complejas, lo que podría generar frustración en los clientes que buscan una interacción más humana y detallada.
Me gusta y no puedo pensar usar otra plataforma
Comentarios: De forma general contenta.. los departamentos de ventas y de soporte son los mayores usuarios de Intercom
Puntos a favor:
Lo intuitivo que puede llegar a ser. Me gusta la forma en la que resuelve los diferentes tipos de casos.
Contras:
El servicio de soporte, se tardan mucho en resolver bugs.
Magnífico!
Puntos a favor:
El mejor descubrimiento para nuestra empresa. Lo utilizamos diariamente y tiene un sinfín de funcionalidades.
Contras:
Si bien está bien que sea de pago, no llegamos a utilizar algunas de sus funcionalidades por el alto costo que tienen.
Comunicación efectiva
Comentarios: Obtengo la habilidad de administrar el correo desde cualquier lugar
Puntos a favor:
Chat en tiempo real dirigido a mis consumidores
Contras:
Ninguna, todas se adaptan a mis necesidades básicas
El mejor Chat
Puntos a favor:
Software de gran calidad y con muchas opciones para gestionar el servicio de atención al cliente
Contras:
Por ahora no te tengo ninguna queja, cumple las expectativas, no es barato pero vale lo que cuesta
es una plataforma de servicio al cliente y comunicacion empresarial
Puntos a favor:
su facilidad de uso , su capacidad de integracion con otras plataforma , su herramienta de chat en vivo muy útil , y su excelente servicio al cliente
Contras:
demasisdas funciones complicadas , puede ser caro . dificil de configurar y utilizar
De lo mejor a nivel producto, pero con una atención al cliente nefasta
Puntos a favor:
A nivel de producto están continuamente evolucionándolo y sacando nuevas funcionalidades que ayudan a crecer tu negocio. Series, para desarrollar campañas a tus clientes es brutal, se puede combinar con mensajes a través de un banner, un mensaje in-app o un email principalmente. Eso sí es un servicio caro. Tiene una herramienta para helpcenter muy práctica y con buena relación calidad-precio. Para soporte por chat con los clientes quizá hay alternativas mucho mejores pero si no requieres de mucha complicación te servirá. Además tiene productos como chatbot, product tours, multitud de integraciones con otras apps y pequeñas funcionalidades que por supuesto incrementarán su coste y no podrás tener todo... A nivel de integración es bastante sencillo y permite mucha personalización.
Contras:
El mayor inconveniente es el inexiste servicio de atención al cliente, para contratar el producto o probar nuevas funcionalidades no tendrás problema pero si realmente te encuentras con un problema grave, por experiencia hemos tenido varios como problemas con la renovación de un contrato o el envío de emails en una campaña, lo más seguro es que o no tengas una respuesta clara o que se vayan pasando la consulta de unos a otros sin ayudarte

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review Hector. I appreciate all the feedback around our products and it's good to see you are using a varied amount of them. I'm sorry that our customer service has let you down. We had a few weeks recently where our customer service was not where we wanted it to be. We have implemented new processes to help improve this and hope that the next time you need customer service, you will find it better. Thanks, Eabha (Customer Engagement)

Profesionalidad
Comentarios: En general nuestra experiencia con este software es muy buena ya que nos ha permitido ayudar a nuestros clientes de una forma profesional y rápida.
Puntos a favor:
Lo que mas nos ha gustado del software es la profesionalidad con la que ven nuestros clientes la interfaz y la facilidad que tienen de comunicarse con nosotros, además cabe destacar que muchas veces a través de las respuestas configuradas que tenemos muchos clientes encuentran su respuesta sin tener que contactar con un agente.
Contras:
Lo que menos nos ha gustado por decir algo que es un software que incluye unos planes con un precio muy elevado y podría incluir alguno más asequible para empresas más pequeñas.

Thanks for letting us know how Intercom is helping you embrace conversational support and how you're making the most of our automation features too! I'll make sure your feedback regarding our pricing and packaging get back to the team. We always aim to align the cost you pay with the value you see and it's hard to get that right for every type of business model. Thanks again, Kate (Intercom - Customer Engagement)
Intercom es una plataforma super sencilla de usuar pero genera mucho valor corporativo.
Comentarios: En generar es una herramienta practica, el precio vs el valor que aporta a cualquier compañia es justo.
Puntos a favor:
Facil de utilizar - Diseño es estetico lo que hace que puedas comprender con facilidad las funciones
Contras:
No me gusta que hay que darle al botón "enviar" para que se envíe el mensaje al cliente o usuarios internos. Deberia funcionar con solo dar "enter"
El mejor software de Servicio al Cliente
Comentarios: Excelente, recomiendo a toda empresa que preste un servicio sea a través de Chat o Email.
Puntos a favor:
Lo que más me gusta de este software, es la facilidad que nos brindan los MACROS, son muy sencillos de usar y nos facilitan la vida diariamente. Nunca he tenido falla en la conexión, a veces por softwares de terceros se torna un poco lento, pero la respuesta de Intercom en general es excelente. Los detalles autómaticos del cliente que nos contacta, es precisa, la opción de ver la locación para detectar la zona horaria, me parece una de las mejores herramientas de este sofware.
Contras:
A veces la asignación de tickets no es 100% precisa, se podría mejorar en cuanto a este punto.
Intercom is a great support system tool
Comentarios: Quickly and simply, I can access the Macros and write/update the articles in the assistance center. Streamlining the process of submitting tickets to the correct division for handling user concerns. It's a time saver for all teams because they can deal with it themselves.
Puntos a favor:
Streamlining the process of submitting and responding to tickets, and developing automated tools to streamline and simplify our daily lives. I appreciate how simple it is to locate articles and macros to distribute to my clientele. The addition of emoticons and gifs to the discourse is a nice touch, as well.
Contras:
Previous software allowed us to see the customer's input before he sent it. This allowed us to quickly respond to his query by reading it as he was writing it. If only I could keep seeing it.
Alternativas consideradas:
Really good but expensive

Puntos a favor:
Really helpful for chat with lead and customer. Possibility to make series to automate communication. Possibility to send event to customize serie

Intercom is really too expensive and each new feature are more and more expansive. We can't use other feature, Intercom is the service with the higer price in our company.

Darragh here, I'm CTO at Intercom. We made some big mistakes on pricing historically and I'm really sorry to hear they've faced you. While some people will opt for very cheap or free point solutions, our product is incredibly broad, capable, and robust, and we've restructured our pricing to be very accessible for small companies, with plans starting at as little as 29$ / month, and a very generous program for early stage companies to use all the power of Intercom with significant discounts. It sounds like you're suffering one of our old models - I'd love to see whether we can make some changes to your plan that solve your issues? Please let me know at darragh@intercom.com and I'll make sure you get sorted.
Excellent tool for live chat and customer contact
Comentarios: It has been great. have been using Intercom for more than 6 years now.
Puntos a favor:
Its easy to setup, quick learning curve , has good set of features and excellent integrations
Contras:
Learning the administration bit of it is a little tricky
Alternativas consideradas:
Great product if you don't mind the pay per hit pricing structure.
Comentarios: Support was very responsive and helpful. The platform itself was great. Unfortunately it just didn't make sense to continue paying a premium for a platform that was so challenging to actually deploy (specifically communication features) due to the pricing structure.
Puntos a favor:
Great design and easy to use editor in their article creation feature.
Contras:
Pricing structure is very challenging to understand. You were charged extra based on the communication feature used, in some cases based on "all users", and in other cases based on "logged in users". Basically "per hit", but they had two different definitions of what constituted a "hit". Also, they have 3 different "products" of features that are packaged together. In some cases we were permitted to do a "light" version of a package and only get the specific features we wanted while another very desirable feature was packaged into a "product" we didn't need so it became cost prohibitive to add that feature.

Hi Allison, Declan here - I'm VP of Customer Support at Intercom. I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you've faced with our pricing structure. We made major relaunches on pricing last year, and it sounds like you might still be on a legacy plan. I'd love to chat about this further with you and see if we can make some changes to your plan. If you're open to chatting you can email me at declan.ivory@intercom.io. Thanks!
Modern customer support platform with strong AI capabilities
Puntos a favor:
Easy, intuitive UX. Strong AI capabilities.
Contras:
Analytics and reporting can be a bit tricky to navigate.
Intercom for Startups is Awesome
Puntos a favor:
We were fortunate to be accepted into the Startups program so we are receiving a great discount to leverage all the product has to offer. We originally found Intercom for live chat but it offers so many features that we implemented. We love the tooltips and pop-ups. We love the ability to trigger the chat box when certain events occur. There are so many features that we haven’t had a chance to implement them all, each one that we use had helped our users have a better experience on our platform.
Contras:
Get started was a little difficult and I have had to reach out to Support on a pretty regular basis because I cannot find the answer to my questions in their support center. Their support team is awesome but it can take a day or two to hear from them which is frustrating when you need to get something released quickly.
Alternativas consideradas:
Great live chat and marketing tool
Comentarios: Intercom is vital for our sales and customer service teams, we use it to communicate with our customers in real time and through email campaigns.
Puntos a favor:
It is easy to use, and honestly one of the best tools out there. Intercom has a ton of features that go from a simple chat bubble to interact with your users, to email marketing tools and AI bots. They have a ton of integrations with other services.
Contras:
Many features can be found behind a paywall and their tiers of service and bundles are not very clear.
Alternativas consideradas:
All in one support tool that can grow with you from early stage startup to established organisation
Comentarios: Very positive and I would recommend Intercom to any early stage startup to apply for the Startup programme in order to get A LOT of functionality and bang for your buck. We have used Intercom from when it was just 2 [sensitive content hidden] to now a company of 50+ people, you don't need to waste time looking for another tool as it can grow with you.
Puntos a favor:
The conversation routing bot was extremely easy to set-up and empowered us to streamline and automate our customer service and support processes. Furthermore, the ability to add-on features and functionality, such as WhatsApp integrate, was great to allow us to customize what we needed for our business.
Contras:
Without the startup programme the pricing is quite aggressive with a basic package starting from $74 / month. Therefore, you really need to invest some time to set-up Intercom to add as much value as possible because it is pricey vs alternatives.
Best customer service portal
Puntos a favor:
Intercom is a reliable portal for customer service.
Contras:
Intercom has nothing to be anxious about it.
Great for customer communication
Puntos a favor:
Live chat is great with automated messages. Easy to add onto our websites. Its fast and reliable and allows our team to provide real time support.
Contras:
Its on the expensive side and it can be more transparent, but it does seems worth it for the price.
Top of the line customer support solution with lots of features.
Puntos a favor:
Intercom is super easy to use and doesn't require a lot of training of end users. I like that we can add it to directly to our website so that it's easily accessible by our customers. We also heavily utilize their proactive support features to alert customers to new features and updates, which is very handy. We also use their survey feature and like that it's easy for our customers to answer. Their chat feature is good and we like the automation that you can program to triage customer issues.
Contras:
I wish the ticketing feature was better so that we could more easily communicate tickets to engineering that need additional work and support and tag them to multiple customers. The Jira integration doesn't give enough visibility into what's happening in Jira as well. The reports from surveys also aren't the best/a little difficult to use. It's hard to sometimes see how the feedback we receive on questions corresponds with the score.
Excellent for emails management
Comentarios: My overall experience is very positive with Intercom and for sure I will keep using it
Puntos a favor:
I love that I can track all my customers emails from one place and I love that I can see if my customer has seen my email and I can take the correct action after that.
Contras:
customers informed me that emails go to spam. Not sure if thats related because comes form Intercom.

The world of marketing
Comentarios: One of the best applications that I have used and still like you .For its activity and ease
Puntos a favor:
It is one of the best applications in terms of ease of use .It contains many features that help customers in marketing
Contras:
It is a distinctive application, but it is one of the expensive applications for small companies
Alternativas consideradas:
A pricey but extremely competent choice of chat
Comentarios: Very well! everything from sales calls, onboarding, setup and support have worked very well.
Puntos a favor:
Integration was easy with webhooks easy accessible. It is also very easy to customize chatflows with many different response options, making it a breeze to set up multiple scenarios. I do also enjoy the customization possible to for example have different chat prompts depending on the webpage a visitor goes to. On the other hand this is sometimes a bit overwhelming - I want to explore more and a customer success manager would be nice to have for this.
Contras:
The price. Honestly, it seems like they try to raise and raise to squeeze a lot of money out of small businesses. Also, their pricing model is pretty difficult to understand, so be aware of all the choices you make during your sales call/order.
