Considered Both Products
ChurnZero
Chose ChurnZero
Much more robust with plays, segmentation, and in-app messaging capabilities. Also, better sales experience. Churn Zero took the time to learn our business and that made our implementation more customized for us. There were also integrations to other systems that we use that …
Chose ChurnZero
What made us chose ChurnZero was a mix of the below:
- Personal interaction with their sales team, with a lot of dedication and interest from both sides.
- Customization, enough to allow us to tailor everything based on our needs, but not too much either, so that we feel …
Chose ChurnZero
ChurnZero's interface is very easy to use. Additionally, seems that ChurnZero has more reports available.
Chose ChurnZero
ChurnZero was a good starting point for us. We’re not a traditional SaaS company, so we needed something that was moldable to fit our needs. ChurnZero did that.
Chose ChurnZero
The ChurnZero team is wonderful to work with, unlike any other vendor we work with. Being in the business of customer success automation, ChurnZero really knows how to do customer success themselves.
Chose ChurnZero
In general, while ChurnZero's reporting is a tiiiiiiny bit less flexible than that of Natero's, it's clear that ChurnZero was more tailor made for teams like ours, both in terms of look and overall functionality. Also, in our interactions with the sales team, ChurnZero seemed …
Chose ChurnZero
We selected ChurnZero based on how well the sales team was able to help us connect the dots... and how confident we felt in the company, based on the thoroughness of the sales-person. They really did take the time (like we would) to get to know the business needs... whereas the …

ChurnZero
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.

Any SaaS company that needs to measure and track the health of client and user accounts will find the data provided by Natero extremely useful. If you have a support team that is tracking tickets, to-do-lists, etc. across different platforms, you'll be happy to know that you can consolidate most of those existing workflows into Natero, making this a single platform for your CES team to keep things running smoothly.

Pros
ChurnZero

Cons
ChurnZero
  • When composing an email out of segments, the ability to save it as a draft to review later would be awesome, instead of needing to set up a Play
  • In the admin section, I love that we can have a color palate - but we'd like the color palete to be applied in other areas so CZ has more of our companies branding
  • The content templates can be hard to stylize if you don't know html
  • Add the Merge Fields functionality to tasks, especially tasks made by playbooks

  • Make set up more self-service. We are changing a lot of systems, and it was challenging to have to coordinate every item with Natero.
  • Automatically triggered emails based on certain usage.

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

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.

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.

ChurnZero
Gainsight CS - you need a team to manage this tool; not intuitive to use, and you're not able to be as agile once configured GUIDEcx - One of my favorites in the space, and so easy to set up, configure, customize, and scale. Able to connect onboarding milestones to SFDC cases, and share out as a customer portal. Mixmax has been purchased in past companies to help fill in gaps of other tools (gives us scheduling links, in-inbox email templates, SFDC lead/contact and task management)

I highly recommend and prefer using Salesforce over Natero. Salesforce allows me to pull in as many fields into a report as I would like, compared to 14 different fields into Natero. I am able to view and make changes to information much quicker than Natero. I like Salesforce much more.
