Intercom vs Ortto

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

"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!

Easy integrations with popular data sources, handy workflows and relevant reports. It's easy to verify your campaign engagement and even auto-re-send messages with a different subject to specific users who did not open your email 24 hours after it was delivered to their inbox.

The Salesforce integration is amazing. I can create action based on automations based on fields within Salesforce. I had trouble finding any other platform that could do this.

The ease of integration with Salesforce and how simple data capture is to set up. The interface is pretty intuitive so it's easy for new hires to pick up how the system works.
