Churn360 vs. Gainsight CS

Our customer success team rely on Churn360 to track customer health automate communication and step in when its crucial.It provides deeper insight into your clients boosts efficiency for your Customer Success team and empowers your organization to take proactive steps with your customers.It appears effective for measuring customer success and tracking renewals but its usefulness may be limited for contracts that auto-renew

It was well-suited for one-place task management, internal accountability through assignments and due dates, and risk mitigation through the health score system. With so much going on between onboarding, ongoing success, expansion, and risk, Gainsight was able to get ahead and stay organized as you continue working with various moving parts.

• It empowers our teams to identify areas needing attention and enhances our representative's ability to engage effectively with clients.
• Health scores are highly customizable
• Segmentation proves to be an incredibly potent and user friendly feature

• Gainsight CS's dashboards are a core use case. These help me stay on top of my account's health and where I may need to focus to mitigate churn signals.
• Gainsight CS's ability to upload documents and have a running activity log for members across a global account team is a huge value add.
• Integrations with CRM and other sales intelligence tools such as Gong are a huge help.
• The AI overview on an account page has been a strong value add.

• There are some minor limitations when it comes to sorting segments
• Setting up requires quite bit of configuration but that's because its incredibly powerful
• documentation

• Outlook integration could be better as within Outlook we do not get much insight of the account. While contacting a contact from Outlook, it will be great if the Outlook -Gainsight CS tool can show certain important information, like any pending CTAs, the latest billing amount, and pending certifications, etc. This will improve the communications and make it more aligned with the company and account perspectives.
• Limitations of report creation are user level - As a user I can not create report as per my wish on my set of accounts. Only the admin user has access to that, and also it's very intuitive compared to Salesforce.
• Dashboard customization - as a user I have very much limited options to put in my dashboard. It's all about CTA all the time.

Gainsight offers a level of support that I've not experience before. They will work with you to come up with a solution to a problem - or help match you with another client that has a similar setup as you to get their feedback. Also the functionality that we have built within the software works for us. It's 'easy' to use (once you get the hang of it) and our users rather enjoy working in the software.

Gainsight CS earns a 10/10 usability rating for me by prioritizing strategic power and deep configurability over simplistic, rigid design. Instead of forcing users into a generic workflow, the platform allows us to build bespoke health scores and playbooks that align perfectly with our unique business model. This high degree of customization ensures that the tool acts as a tailored workspace that meets the needs of mature CS organization like ours. By leveraging the proactive CTA triggers, Gainsight CS reduces the manual burden on our CSMs, allowing them to focus on high-value customer interactions rather than administrative data hunting. It ultimately functions as a professional grade cockpit that empowers our team to manage complex revenue lifecycles with precision and repeatability.

Rarely any issues with availability or outages. When they do occur, there is excellent communication and consistent updates. Bugs are usually addressed in a timely manner, and communication around those issues is also extremely good

There are some times when it can take almost a minute to load some of our reports or the rules engine. Within a rule it can also take time to load the actions as they each load one at a time when scrolling. The ability to scroll without waiting would be ideal

The CSMs are very hands-on and helpful, both Elaine and Lane have provided a lot of guidance and value over the years. Support is responsive and will jump on things as needed. The thought leadership and community is probably the most valuable part of our support from Gainsight.

The online videos are very good for basic tasks in the platform, but it isn't very descriptive or helpful trying to make your own specific variables fit the simple example that is typically used. Typically, I'll watch a video, try on my own and still have to get help from support or Customer Success team

I was not part of the implantation (I took over later). However, based on what was passed to me, the tool was not well implemented at our org. I think this had to do with complexity, wrong person assigned in our org, and org buy-in. I think it would have been very successful if we had a better assignment process internally.

Churn360 offered an ideal blend of tools and features perfectly aligned with our needs at a competitive price point. It has seamlessly scaled alongside our growth consistently introducing pioneering features that set industry standards. This tool is invaluable for me and my team. I highly recommend all choose Churn360 to ease their daily chores.

They're pretty neck and neck. Both are super similar. I love the icons for logging account activity in Totango. I also like the dropdown activity tab we have in Gainsight. We need to improve our auto forms for QBR notes and cancellation notes, but I do like that we can have details listed for the CSM to fill out without them having to think about it. Helps us improve our reporting efforts, too.

It can lean a little heavily toward Customer Success, but the ability to customize many areas based on specific user or account characteristics allows you to make it work across many different roles. This also makes collaboration within the tool across teams possible. It a flexible tool if you have a skilled admin to help guide your process building.

• In the first year of Churn360 deployment, we observed a remarkable churn reduction of over 40%
• With increased access to customer insight our team members enhance their performance.
• The company gains valuable insight into customer sentiments and trends strengthening our partnership with clients

• No metrics yet, but we have improved our at-risk customers by identifying risks earlier via our automated health score and with our Gainsight approved mitigation workflow, CSMs and leaders have better discipline with mitigation efforts and sharing at-risk customers across the org so other teams can step in and assist
