Unified communication has reduced global calling costs and supports organized departmental workflows
The best features that DIGITAL CX offers are making international calls, the chat functionality, and the fax capability. We still use fax as some institutions require fax documentation to be sent to us. Adding users is very easy, and the setup is straightforward. The support from RingCentral is exceptional. The international calling capabilities and low costs are outstanding. DIGITAL CX has positively impacted my organization through cost reduction. Currently, we do not assign direct lines to most users. We have very few direct lines, and the cost is much lower by simply creating extensions and only authorizing certain users to make international calls. Last year we started making the adjustment, and we reduced costs from 4,000 dollars to 2,000 dollars in just a couple of months.

AI support has transformed customer loyalty and has maintained high satisfaction levels
I would recommend that Intercom Customer Communications Platform increase its database capacity to manage more than 1,000 partners, considering that each partner can send approximately 10 requests daily. When partner numbers exceed 1,000, we sometimes experience complications in quickly processing all the queries we receive. I believe Intercom Customer Communications Platform could perform better for larger companies like mine to coordinate and manage all our partners across the world.The second suggestion concerns the complexity of pricing. Intercom Customer Communications Platform has very complex pricing structures. While this was not a real issue for my company, as someone interested in entrepreneurship and starting a business, Intercom Customer Communications Platform is very costly for startups and people wanting to launch businesses. If Intercom Customer Communications Platform reviews its pricing and creates plans specifically for startups, I am certain they would reach a much larger market. The integration of Intercom Customer Communications Platform is great because we have more than 100 integration options available. When it comes to user interface, it is more intuitive but somewhat difficult. When I started my job without prior CRM knowledge, it took me approximately two weeks to understand the platform and use it at full capacity. I believe they could improve the user interface by collaborating with users and gathering suggestions. I am very happy to provide this feedback to Intercom Customer Communications Platform and work with them on the user experience side to ensure the app is ready to use for people without customer management experience. I will give eight out of 10 for integrations and six out of 10 for user interface.

Pros

"DIGITAL CX has positively impacted my organization through cost reduction; last year we started making the adjustment, and we reduced costs from 4,000 dollars to 2,000 dollars in just a couple of months."
"RingCentral has a good implementation of voice over IP and is easy to use, enabling a range of VoIP functions."
"The live chat is pretty good because you can create a macro, which is a predefined input we can give customers."
"Intercom Customer Communications Platform has played a key role in customer loyalty, trust building, and market reach."
"The feature we appreciate most about the Intercom Customer Communications Platform is the messenger functionality, allowing users to have conversations without entering their details repeatedly."
"With Zendesk, we have much more signals that we could use to understand better our client patterns."
"Intercom Customer Communications Platform definitely reduced the amount of phone calls coming in, which then in turn reduced the amount of customer service representatives needed, and that brought down the total headcount of customer service reps in the company, which cut costs for the company."
 

Cons

"Pricing on RingCentral can be confusing due to numerous surcharges and fees, making it important to consider all fees for a true comparison with other services."
"RingCentral could improve by incorporating more advanced AI functionalities, as Zoom currently has AI integrated across their products."

"The problem with Intercom Customer Communications Platform was a little bit of the implementation. It was complicated to use to actually get the automations and everything."
"Fin is extremely expensive."
