    Innovative--But Not Perfect--Help Center Solutions and Capable Proactive Support

    3.0
    Jan 30, 2025
    Intercom has a lot of features. In my role I've used a couple of them extensively. I haven't been involved with the customer service/support side of things but I personally created an extensive knowledge base/product documentation help center for our products. I also use the proactive support feature (email campaigns, in my case) to send weekly product updates. The knowledge base/Help center features have improved massively since I started using them. In the beginning of my experience--maybe 2 1/2 years ago?--the features and capabilities were mediocre at best. By the time my company switched to a different Help Center solution 18 months ago or so, Intercom's offering had grown by leaps and bounds and was quite competitive. I found it ironic that we were undertaking a large effort to move the Help Center content to a different product that was, by that time, essentially a side-grade, and we were missing out on some of the newest and most useful features recently added to Intercom. There were still some areas where Intercom was lagging behind competing solutions, and there were some areas where it was already superior to other solutions, hands down. The proactive support features have also improved somewhat. There's a lot to like and a lot of flexibility. I only use email outreach, but there are many other ways Intercom can deliver content to subscribers. I'd like to see some improvement to the editing tools for message bodies, but overall it's satisfactory at very least. I like that I can retrieve extremely detailed results for email campaigns to see exactly when a given contact received, opened, or clicked a link in my email messages.
