ChurnZero vs. ERPNOVA vs. Totango

If you are a SaaS business with a high volume of customers, having ChurnZero is a must. If you have a subscription based business and a customer success or account management function in your company, I would highly recommend ChurnZero.

for a CSM it´s marvelous, you have in one window everything,the agenda for your day by day work, the workload you have in a day,all the customers database and call history added by tasks and toutch points, the to do thing in each customer you know what to do next, with renewal you hace an digital engadgement with customers inform they need to renew in order to keep using the app.

• Plays: Allows you to bulk send emails out to clients based on easy to make segments. Also, allows us to track success of a play. Previously, we had to work with our marketing team to send out any emails and it was an extremely bulky process that took far too long for the payout.
• Segments: Better than any other CRM reporting functionality. Allows us to more accurately look at portions of our clients based on different factors that are extremely easy to use.
• Health Scores: The customization allows us to really play around with different health scores as we figure out what good health across clients and services really look like.
• Transparency: Allows me as a manager to see a much better comprehensive look at my team's performance.

• Add more functionality for use cases of Operations teams - currently focused mainly on CSM usage
• Ability to set defaults when viewing dashboards and command center - currently all choices reset

Incentivized

• Editing templates can be slow and confusing.
• Building items across teams can be a challenge.
• Reports and segments seem to be the same thing and it's a challenge telling people to build a segment when they are looking to build a report.

Our team is very happy with the product after evaluating multiple vendors, including Gainsight, Totango and Planhat. We like the additional functionality that CZ offers on its enterprise version. We were strongly considering other products if the price was right and functionality worked, but the change management would have been too heavy and taken too long. The ChurnZero team has been a good partner to rely on and allowed us to free up our time and resources to focus on more pressing matters

Incentivized

We like the tool enough to keep it in the long run. It does what we need it exactly to do, and I think there's still a lot for us to uncover in terms of its capabilities. There are a lot of functions we want to take the time to learn, but we've been strapped on resources so are just staying afloat.

ChurnZero makes my work life a complete game changer. I say it all the time ChurnZero is a one stop shop for data! I don't fumble through numerous different programs, try to remember different passwords, I literally login to CZ and it is right there in front of me

Incentivized

It is easy to use and understand, and simple to follow day to day. Logging notes and tasks is one of the key areas this is utilised along with tracking reports and accessing key data points for conversations with customers which is helpful. Mobile app helps too to access information on the go.

Quick response by the CZ team.

Totango is available all the time . the only problem is that some times it takes time to load specially the records of the customers. The data loading inside the customer account is fast. It may be because of internet service but still it can i,prove a lot. i have seen other competitors software which is faster

At times the integration sync can be really slow when it comes to touchpoints. I can't say the same for customer health syncing, but I do tend to notice the lag from email syncing, and in those cases, I will need to refresh the Totango page a couple of times or wait a couple of extra seconds/minutes for it to show up.

I recently had the opportunity to interact with ChurnZero's customer support team, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. Their responsiveness and willingness to solve problems are exemplary. From the moment I reached out, their team displayed a level of professionalism and dedication that truly stood out.

Incentivized

I give Totango a support rating of 10 because I can always get support whenever needed. If its a technical issue, I know I can email their support team for help. If it's a more in depth question with respect to our instance of Totango, I can reach out to our CSM and always get help in a very reasonable amount of time. I always look to Totango as the standard when I think of how to best communicate and support our own customers.

The training and onboarding have been very helpful. Since I was not a part of the team when ChurnZero was implemented, it was important to get brought up to speed as quickly as possible and our CSM has been incredibly receptive in that regard.

Incentivized

Our CSM did a great job of conducting the training so we understand, at the very least, the functionality that is directly relevant to us. This also allowed us to train our own new team mates when onboarding based on the training flow that was first presented to us. This was also conducted as a interactive sessions, as training are notoriously known to be dry

I implemented CZ in 4 months. When I look back, this is not a long time where I needed to get to know CZ by myself (as I did not have knowledge of it at all..) study the Academy, playing around in the test environment and setting up in live environment.

Totango has been easy for our team to integrate most of our new features into, which is great considering we have to factor in the customers' usage of the new features into all of the health and usage metrics we have. It has taken a while to integrate our second product however, which is why I would rank this a 7.

We've used several products such as HubSpot, Asana, and Chameleon. ChurnZero gave us all of the features we were looking for including product usage, health scores, automations, journeys, in app walk-throughs and in app announcements. We were able to replace several platforms with ChurnZero and ended up with more functionality.

I've implemented dozens of systems over the last 15 years and, I feel, Totango was by far the most challenging. I have a background in several areas, but the most applicable to Totango is my background in data management, systems administration, programming, web design, web dev. Totango was very challenging to set-up. Other systems have more intuitive UIs and onboarding. For anyone wanting to use Totango, don't. For those that are still not convinced, I would make sure you are game for a very long implementation and the ongoing maintenance of syncing/resyncing. If you are in charge of implementation, in my experience, this is a not a 'set it and forget it' type of platform. It does require someone who is highly technical to partner with your customer success team to make sure it is functioning properly.

Easy to escalate.

Information keeps missing and changing in totango . Because of that there is are lot of problems with it. We need to manually keep the backup in an another file. More over if in case we take the backup its so hard to track since its all in numbers. Totango can be much better if the cloud storage is working fine. My company is planning to discontinue due to this factor
