Kumar Abhishek Anand - PeerSpot reviewer
Customer support has improved significantly with seamless chat integration for quick resolutions
The feature we appreciate most about the Intercom Customer Communications Platform is the messenger functionality. We are able to integrate it into our application and provide support to customers directly through our application. The messenger works efficiently, allowing users to have conversations without entering their details repeatedly. There is conversation history available for each customer interaction, and they can access the help section within the chat itself. The Finn AI agent handles conversations both in chat and WhatsApp, which is particularly beneficial. Regarding automation tools, we have enabled the AI agent to answer customer queries instantly, reducing the need for constant staff presence. The AI agent quickly responds to customers and summarizes their issues, informing us when it cannot resolve a problem independently.

Enables seamless customer communication and improves satisfaction
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service ( /products/microsoft-dynamics-365-customer-service-reviews ) stands out for its superb product functionality, price performance, flexibility, and integration with other Microsoft products like Office. I especially value the complaint management feature, which allows for much more unified communication. It has a workflow feature and offers excellent automation capabilities that streamline our customer service.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's licensing is straightforward. It's user-based, so you decide how many users you want to license, and that's it. On the value-for-money scale, it's average. You do get what you pay for, so I wouldn't call it expensive."
