What differentiates Intercom from other similar products?

The newly introduced free WhatsApp integration makes intercom a professional customer support tool which supports omnichannel communication

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like the easy integration of the tool with social media profiles like Facebook, X(formally Twitter),Instagram and messenger which help us receive all omnichannel message from one place. The pricing of intercom for the first year is so cheap and considerate for smaller enterprises

What do you dislike most about this product?

It takes a lot of time to understand the tool and configure all the tool setting because it has gotten a lot of modules and as times goes, the tool becomes more expensive for smaller businesses to use the solution

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend Intercom because it is easy to use and comes with a fair discounted pricing for growing startups to up to 98% discount

Pros

Reliable
