Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Intercom streamlines our sales and lead approach process. The user interface is simple and easy to understand its functionality. The best thing I liked is the integration with HubSpot. It gives us the ability to extract data and approach lead using its communication options.
  • It is a simple program that meets the minimum requirements in terms of support and chats automation and maintains proper communication with my customers. I have used it on different devices without any problems.
  • Intercom allows our service and marketing consultants to have a direct and real time interaction with our customers to solve problems, provide assistance and market our product and satisfy all their needs, keeping them happy and in communication at all times.
  • The product is great, allows you to simplify the entire communication process with your prospects as well as customers. The Bot options are really good and can add value to the entire lead gen and support mechanisms.
  • Here are the things I liked about Intercom. * The user end interface is intuitive. * Build Customer Relationship platform. * No delay messaging. * Alerts and a reminder for support requests.

Cons

  • Customization options are very less. It would be great if they offer a follow-up status option.
  • They should improve their ticketing system, sometimes there are delays, or it doesn't generate them. I have had complaints from customers in this regard.
  • The product tour function is somewhat limiting. When one of the advisors clicks out of the tour to perform any action other than the next slide, the entire tour stops and the experience is dissatisfying. Most of our onboarding challenges come from not being able to create a tour that knows how to allow users to pause a tour to perform multiple actions.
  • The pricing is just so so confusing! Support takes forever to get back to you, not sure how to chat support can be so comfortable stating a turnaround time of 2 days!
  • Overall it's an outstanding customer relation platform.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Tidio can be implemented on multi-channels. FB messenger, Instagram and websites. Can generate tickets using its chatbot. The user interface is appealing and incredibly easy to use in my opinion. Create a profile after every conversation.
  • From day one we started recognizing the benefits of this product. It helped my team to increase the sales graph. The deployment process was smooth and after-sales support was great. It can also be customized according to campaign and website designs.
  • The Tidio app for BigCommerce is very easy to install and the design of the chat windows is beautiful. In case you have a question, support is always there to guide you step by step on how to resolve any issue.
  • I love that Tidio has a free plan because it's a great affordable option for small businesses. Also, it is easy to install and has a lot of features that are helpful for my business like easy to use chatbots and integrations.
  • We use Tidio on our website where we advise and help to detect skin cancer at an early stage, thanks to our device NOTA mole tracker. So we are saving lives together with Tidio!

Cons

  • Never faced any major issues while using the Tidio tool.
  • Till now I haven't experienced any downside about Tidio.
  • I have no issues with this app while working on BigCommerce.
  • I don't like that I have to join the conversation to mark it as solved because when I want to close a conversation, I don't want to have to join it in order to remove it from my view. This is just a small flaw but everything else is great.
  • I would say it's a paid subscription, but I understand that you have to pay for a good product.
