Considered Both Products
ChurnZero
Chose ChurnZero
ChurnZero has better brand visibility and recognition among its competitors and that was one primary reason we selected ChurnZero. In addition, our leadership's affinity towards the platform (based on their past experiences) ensured we go with ChurnZero. While we were testing …
Chose ChurnZero
ChurnZero seemed a little more geared towards our customer base and goals. Their onboarding was thorough and included (Gainsight's was not). Cost/Budget also came into the picture as well!
Chose ChurnZero
ChurnZero was the perfect mix of tools and features at the right price. It has scaled as we've scaled and the new features they roll out are always industry firsts.
Chose ChurnZero
Gainsight is a great software, and a good alternative to ChurnZero. However for us, ChurnZero had made a number of key changes to their product suite that helped us decide for it over Gainsight. For instance the integrated AI text generator, the new round robin, enhanced note …
Chose ChurnZero
During our assessment it was obvious that Churnzero offered more features that aligned with our business goals.
Chose ChurnZero
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 …
Chose ChurnZero
HubSport is quickly turning into a secondary platform for us. HubSpot functions much more as a task-oriented, call-as-much-as-possible, Sales system. Churn Zero far outpaces HS with its AI to summarize the account, and its ability to bring in outside data from Pendo, ZenDesk, …
Chose ChurnZero
We actually use both. We do not focus our usage of ChurnZero on the in-app functionality (that is something we do with Pendo) but we do find clearer usage data for a lot of elements with ChurnZero.
Chose ChurnZero
I prefer that ChurnZero has the health scores and is easier to use.
Chose ChurnZero
Strikedeck was way to difficult to use and required way to many steps to do one thing. ChurnZero is a game changer with that. When logging a activity, it is literally the same page for everything, no jumping back and forth or having to start a different tab.
Chose 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, …
Chose ChurnZero
ChurnZero's segmenting and health score abilities were unmatched, as it allows for customization for almost every feature.
Chose ChurnZero
While Gainsight CS and PX are owned by the same parent company, they couldn't be more different on a fundamental level. PX is a nuts and bolts usage data platform which reports on many of the same datapoints as ChurnZero, but beyond that, PX has very little in terms of team …
Chose ChurnZero
We selected ChurnZero based on price and having the functionality we needed for right now. Gainsight had more features, but at a much higher cost and these features weren't necessarily items we needed to get ourselves up and running now.
HubSpot Data Hub
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
Improved analytics, well easier to read and show to team members, and using it to keep track of sales and the status of those sales. The simple grid tracks were easy to use and see where each client was in the sale pipeline.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
We selected HubSpot Operations Hub because we already used HubSpot as a CRM and we heard good feedback from our clients.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
This tool is, in my opinion, the best tool of its kind. Other apps like Zapier and Integromat are great at syncing information between sources but PieSync is the best when it comes to contact information synchronization. If I had to recommend one tool for this specific job, …
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
PieSync is much less confusing, and from what I remember, cheaper. But if you need a more robust solution to get more data from system to system, you will need to find something other than PieSync. Zapier can be confusing and complicated to setup. And as you get more and more …
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
Zapier has no two-way sync. The only advantage is the amount of external integration, but it is also developing very quickly and quite possibly will catch up.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
We needed a solution for syncing data two ways between software. Zapier only pushes data from one software to another with each zap so it was ultimately not an option for us. PieSync is the only tool I know of that provides two-way data syncs in such an easy and reliable way.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
I have not tried any other system, PieSync was just the right choice for me at first viewing.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
PieSync is much more reliable than Zapier. With Zapier, our "zaps" consistently break and their notification system isn't the best at alerting you in real time.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
One of the top runners up for my sync needs. I needed something that would sync financial data in such a way I could generate thank you auto emails from Salesforce (if I remember correctly, it was some time ago). Also, I think that there were duplicate records created in …
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
I haven't used any other products similar to PieSync. PieSync is the first contact sync platform I've used and don't have a need to look elsewhere. It meets the needs for my business and I'm happy with the product. Would highly recommend it to anyone who needs to sync their …
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
We haven't evaluated any alternatives that move existing data like PieSync. We have used Zapier, IFTTT, etc. but they are more suited for new information.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
Zapier can be built to achieve similar "syncing" results. But you're bound to lose data since Zapier is an automation software. Not a 2-way syncing software. PieSync is also much easier to set up, especially if you have a lot of custom fields that you like to map.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
PieSync is a continuous, real-time sync. Zapier does a lot of single step automations. They're peers, but behave very differently.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
Zapier is a great product but it only does a 1-way sync. I was most impressed with the 2-way sync capabilities of PieSync and the way in which I could use that to help with compliance with the data regulations in place and coming soon to Europe such as the GDPR.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
I would say these two differ, both have some strong differentiators. Zapier offers the possibility of custom workflows pushing/retrieving data and parsing it for other actions (where the pricing can get quite high). PieSync wins in terms of keeping data fields in sync, cost …
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
While Zapier seems to have more connections, the 2 way integration through PieSync seemed easier. Additionally, Nimble (our CRM provider) has natively integrated PieSync into their application which gives us a higher level of confidence when it comes to support issues. Also, …

User Testimonials
ChurnZeroHubSpot Data Hub
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
Read full review
Great to use if you have a few marketing systems that need to "talk" to each other and keep each other updated. Perfect for small agencies, companies, or freelancers. I wouldn't recommend using PieSync if you have MANY marketing systems that need to be synched. You'd be better off simplifying the resources you use, then putting PieSync in place

Pros
  • 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.

  • PieSync runs continually so there is little to no disruption and people always have access to the latest contact information for our clients and prospects.
  • PieSync runs efficiently in the background so there is little maintenance or attention that it needs, which is great.
  • PieSync does a great job of letting you decide how you want items to sync across platforms so you can customize to how your organization uses a particular software.

Cons
  • More clarity around our usage (event) data - it can be difficult to understand all the terminology ChurnZero uses
  • 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
Read full review
  • Price. It can get expensive if you have to sync a lot of contacts. You are charged on each syn, not on the number of contacts.
  • While most major integrations are available, there are still many popular tools that they do not integrate with so check first.
  • More complex rules and multiple syncs require higher priced plans.

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

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.

Every time that I've had a question, PieSync has been very responsive. It is a reliable company with a great team that is devoted to helping their customers. I've been their customer for 2 years and I've never looked back. Support is an important reason why PieSync is my go-to app for this job.

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.

Return on Investment
  • Already allowing us to do some data-clean up and better identify struggling accounts
  • Gives us the tools to re-teach our team on being proactive, not reactive
  • We can more easily identify accounts that are positioned well for cross sell
  • Over time, we hope to see higher renewal retention

  • PieSync has saved me a lot of time. It is straightforward to learn and use and therefore the initial set up time is not great, but once set up you can more or less forget that it is there working away in the background.
  • My business is small and was already pretty streamlined with a CRM system etc. PieSync is likely to have a much greater ROI for a business that is less streamlined or is more complex to start with.
