Intercom vs Mautic

“Announcing new features through Intercom is the most effective way our users become aware of what we're building.”

- Veena Gupta

"Intercom is a great Customer Support tool" What do you like best about Intercom? Intercom's new inbox is great and we have seen a huge increase in our support team's speed by using it. The platform is overall easy to use and integrates well with our tech stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Intercom? Based on the above we wanted to take advantage of one of their higher tiers. Frankly speaking, working with their Sales team has been a real pain and detractor. They firstly want to try and use Intercom for the whole sales cycle which is not great, and conversations that would take 5 minutes if you just hopped on a call, drag out for days. We are also migrating over to an EU bucket from their current US bucket, and again their Sales team has not been especially helpful in addressing specific areas of concern around this. Migrations have a number of different areas to consider and you can feel that the Sales team just want to "get the deal done." It has made us second guess our entire upgrade.

"The benchmark of all chats." What do you like best about Intercom? Intercom is by far the leader in live chat software, from its capabilities and reach to its versatility via extensions, you can do so much with it and when your users interact with it, the experience is immediately familiar to them, which makes it feel simple and reliable. With added HIPAA compliance, you can do so much for your medical practice, we've included it in our mobile app and website and patients love using it. I would say that it's worth every penny. People are famliar with Intercom's experience so they will trust in your brand!

Marketing automation with Mautic (open source) is used for several use cases within twentyZen. We use it for product development, user training, and initial community building as well as for lead nurturing and client relationship campaigns. We started to develop custom plugins and integrations to interact with other system we regularly use.

Mautic (open source) is currently being used as a mass-email and drip campaign connection with our HubSpot CRM. Some might think that this is redundant, as HubSpot does similar things, but HubSpot does not do it as cleanly, or more importantly, as inexpensively as Mautic is capable of doing these exact functions, plus Mautic has built-in connectivity to our CRM, and I believe also multiple different CRM's.
