Exceed.ai feels much more polished and feature-rich, including options such as pre-qualifications and the ability to schedule a calendar invite/meeting with a sales representative while Gorgias is designed more as a chatbot to feed FAQ responses and automated messages, without …

For the moment, Exceed.ai is suitable for our business needs; however, I have used boost.ai at a previous organisation and found it to be more intuitive and easier to set up than Exceed.ai. Another advantage boost.ai has over Exceed is the use of a no-code environment which …

Our biggest issue with Pipedrive was during the implementation process. We quickly found their programming to be not that good, so we decided to switch to Exceed.ai It is an intelligent virtual assistant tool that can help you with your daily activities. Whether it is …

Exceed.ai, Conversica, Tact.ai, and Qualified are highly scalable, flexible, and ideal for automated customer tracking and engagement, vary in price, offer great integrations, and unique features (features that should be explored to find the right option for your needs).
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
HubSpot works perfectly well too. Feature of getting the notification on Email open rate and click rate is good. But email marketing on Exceed.ai is far better and customer support is great too. Exceed.ai's ability to handle mass outreach to a large number of people at once. …

Verse was the other platform we tried and there were too many issues and a lack of 24/7 outreach. Exceed.ai is customizable and incredibly helpful to our sales team. We love how we've been able to select a lead cadence and provide our own types of responses for the Exceed.ai …

Exceed.ai was a better vendor to work with long term and was very great through the whole negotiation process and implementation. Their sales team and support were awesome to work with. Some of their competitors were bully sales people and didn't have our best interest at …
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
Our team has used Intercom for a while but the interface didn't seem so appealing. With a new design and clear navigation, Exceed.ai is better. The conversation is quite good with Exceed.ai as compared to Drift.
Drift is amazing, no doubt. But Exceed.ai seems better for our …
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
Exceed is easier to setup and at a totally different (lower) price point. I would go with Exceed any day.
Chose Genesys Cloud AI
Exceed is flexible and configurable. The assistant actually scheduled meeting on reps calendars and it supports both chat and email. Great value to money and flexible business terms. And, I was amazed how good the NLP works.

We're using another AI agent too. Fin AI is a little behind, as it needs to start learning from either testing or real conversations, so it can better advise users with accurate information - whereas the other AI agent is learning very fast and needs little to no adjustment of …

I did not choose which platform our support teams used. But I did not like NetSuite because it sent out a lot of email updates and required the client to reply to the correct email in order to have everything tracked. ServiceNow was pretty similar. The reports in ServiceNow …

Honestly, we haven't really looked at this, but we do use it for another team because a third-party works with it.

Otherwise, I am extremely happy with Intercom and have not looked towards another software.

It was a long debate before we switched from Crisp to Intercom, but we never regretted that decision. Intercom looks and looks sleeker, works smoother, and has the knowledge base feature, which was our main need to switch. The transition took very little time, so no bumps on …
Chose Fin by Intercom
Way better than all of them - especially the workflow tool which I don't think Help Scout or Crisp even had. Really easy to manage capacity too through snoozing conversations and customers receiving emails after a response.

With HubSpot, there was no way for our users to return …

This is the first one we tried.

My main concern at the moment is how the integration looks to the users and Intercom just looks modern and up-to-date. HubSpot is missing this. In the background it always comes down to how you organize your team and processes.
Chose Fin by Intercom
Odoo was, in my opinion, terrible - a jack of all trades and master of none, which is why all teams in the business moved away to bespoke software. Freshdesk - an easier and more organisable way of creating and managing tickets. Although Intercom now has tickets, we're still …

At the moment, I only use Supademo to record screen tours. It is very intuitive, has a browser extension, and is perfect for recording the onboarding of new features.

Personally I have not used any other platforms like Intercom and do not wish to search as of right now.

The intercom is more intuitive and provides easier management and personalization of our conversations. It's been a while since I used Zendesk, so this might have changed, but Intercom provides a bigger catalog of functionality targeted to product marketing, such as emails, …

To compete with Salesforce, the main point is the pricing. Intercom has a very different budget when it comes to start ups and up and coming companies, which helps.
To compete with other platforms, Intercom has a more developed interface and a super completa arrange of tools, …

Several factors as pricing, customisation, ease of use, popularity, user-friendly and the continuous online support as well improvements helped us make this choice. Onboarding new colleagues to Intercom does not even take one day, it is so efficient and intuitive. If the …

Intercom is much more flexible and modern than Zendesk, UI is better. Zendesk is better at multiple brand experience and localisation.

All tools that we used in the past, have a lot of problems on the chat app, our the syncing data between integrations, Intercom has too, but is very less than others.

We used Aircall for many years and it was a great tool, however as we scaled down our phone support usage it became expensive and cumbersome. Intercom phones offered a cheaper solution that turned out to be more efficient for our team to use as well.

Exceed.ai is a smart assistant tool developed on the Chatbox platform, where users can easily use custom commands to get the daily task done by the tool. Also, it is an intelligent virtual assistant that learns from your behavior and recommends what you might like or need in the future. It is highly recommended by me to others.

While Fin is an awesome investment, the setup and tuning of responses to meet brand alignment and delivery have taken some time. If you prioritize not just resolution rate and accuracy, but style and delivery, it's a bigger lift. However, for the vast majority of businesses, the step and its impact on resource management are a worthy investment.

Pros
  • Their customer team is also extremely helpful and willing to put extra time in order to ensure the platform works for your organization.
  • Exceed.ai automatically updates your CRM and marketing automation platform with the latest lead status.
  • It can be deployed in Cloud, SaaS, Web-based.

  • Great UI - everyone has their own inbox but can still see all incoming messages.
  • Fin AI - we love the AI functionality, it saves tons of time of the team.
  • Automated emails - we configured Intercom in a way that it uses a lot of information we have about our users (e.g. their subscription, date of upgrade, etc.) so that we can use it to automate communication.

Cons
  • Though customisable, it is not the most intuitive and can take a while to setup appropriately for your organisation
  • It can be slow to pull in new inputs and it is difficult to integrate into other systems such as CRMs
  • A bit pricey compared to other options

  • Some things are repetitive. Ex: If you provide guidance to ask a follow-up question, it'll ask that follow-up question each time.
  • It'd be cool to have a "vibe" check for auto-sorting. Ex: We have responses to our outreach feed into Intercom. It'd be cool to have a way to auto-sort based on if they ask a detailed question or just a plain "interested" response.
  • It'd be cool if Fin by Intercom flagged conversations, like it a customer seemed agitated, for the team to review.

It's currently a perfect fit for our needs, and we are customer-focused and small. When we grow, we may need to re-evaluate, but our current team finds it easy. Reviewing conversations is simple and allows for great training. The canned replies make service fast and easy. Smart suggestions remove the need to re-write technical walkthroughs and explanations for our FAQ

It takes a bit of getting used to. It's easy to start off with simple pieces of answering queries, etc. The real part is when one tries to use workflows with triggers and automation. Then, it can be a whole different experience. I would love to see it being much simpler in terms of usability there.

During the initial setup and onboarding, we had a white-glove approach from the Exceed Customer Success team: weekly touchpoints to review and evaluate progress towards our stated objectives. Outside of our regular catch-ups, should any questions or issues arise, Exceed has a chat function that always seems to be staffed. The average response times to questions was 10-20 minutes.

Intercom is the premier customer support/engagement model and it definitely has one of the top tier customer support teams as well. I don't think I have ever waited more than 5 minutes to get the information I need or get help with an issue. They are incredible and I aim to model our customer service department after them.

In my experience, what Intercom has done with Fin by Intercom is far more innovative and forward thinking than other tools I've used. It's intuitive, easy, and they are always releasing new things to make Fin by Intercom even more powerful.

Return on Investment
  • There is a significant benefit to using a service/virtual assistance to answer and qualify customers versus life staffing agents.
  • There is another benefit to cost savings by allowing our teams to automatically be scheduled to calendar invites with approved/qualified customers only.
