Pros & Cons
Fin
Pros
- Intercom reports a 76% average resolution rate across more than 12,000 customers, and G2 reviewers praise how quick and human-sounding its answers are.
- It runs on existing helpdesks such as Zendesk, Salesforce, HubSpot and Freshdesk, so teams do not have to move to Intercom.
- Its compliance list is broad: SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, ISO 27701 and HIPAA, plus SSO, SCIM and data hosting in the US, EU or Australia.
- Simulations and regression tests let teams check configuration changes before they go live.
- There are no setup or platform fees, and the 14-day trial needs no credit card.
Cons
