AI support has transformed customer loyalty and has maintained high satisfaction levels
I would recommend that Intercom Customer Communications Platform increase its database capacity to manage more than 1,000 partners, considering that each partner can send approximately 10 requests daily. When partner numbers exceed 1,000, we sometimes experience complications in quickly processing all the queries we receive. I believe Intercom Customer Communications Platform could perform better for larger companies like mine to coordinate and manage all our partners across the world.The second suggestion concerns the complexity of pricing. Intercom Customer Communications Platform has very complex pricing structures. While this was not a real issue for my company, as someone interested in entrepreneurship and starting a business, Intercom Customer Communications Platform is very costly for startups and people wanting to launch businesses. If Intercom Customer Communications Platform reviews its pricing and creates plans specifically for startups, I am certain they would reach a much larger market. The integration of Intercom Customer Communications Platform is great because we have more than 100 integration options available. When it comes to user interface, it is more intuitive but somewhat difficult. When I started my job without prior CRM knowledge, it took me approximately two weeks to understand the platform and use it at full capacity. I believe they could improve the user interface by collaborating with users and gathering suggestions. I am very happy to provide this feedback to Intercom Customer Communications Platform and work with them on the user experience side to ensure the app is ready to use for people without customer management experience. I will give eight out of 10 for integrations and six out of 10 for user interface.

The insights it provides are very helpful in understanding what is working for us and what's not, but it needs a dashboard that shows me how many followers our accounts have gained or lost.
It would be wonderful if the Oktopost team developed a dashboard that showed me how many followers our accounts have gained or lost. It would also be helpful if we could track the same for our competitors. And in addition, it would be great to have the tool identify social influencers in our space for us to engage with. I also think the board is a great concept, but it's way too pricey to be scalable.

"Intercom Customer Communications Platform definitely reduced the amount of phone calls coming in, which then in turn reduced the amount of customer service representatives needed, and that brought down the total headcount of customer service reps in the company, which cut costs for the company."
"With Zendesk, we have much more signals that we could use to understand better our client patterns."
"Intercom Customer Communications Platform has played a key role in customer loyalty, trust building, and market reach."
"The feature we appreciate most about the Intercom Customer Communications Platform is the messenger functionality, allowing users to have conversations without entering their details repeatedly."
"The live chat is pretty good because you can create a macro, which is a predefined input we can give customers."
"I love the conversion reporting and integration with Marketo and SFDC."

"The problem with Intercom Customer Communications Platform was a little bit of the implementation. It was complicated to use to actually get the automations and everything."
"It would be beneficial if there was a way to train the AI to better understand customer language."
"Intercom Customer Communications Platform has very complex pricing structures and is very costly for startups and people wanting to launch businesses."
"Sometimes, the solution lags and takes time to update something."
