AI customer service features included in every plan.
Intercom integrates Help desk, AI Chat bot, and Proactive support.
Gainsight CS and Gainsight PX are both amazing platforms in their own right, but the integrations between the two are still (many years post-acquisition of aptrinsic) just okay. Gainsight is certainly moving in the right direction, with its acquisition of inside for example. …
While Mixpanel is great in creating flexible dashboards and generate insights that are more product focus, ChurnZero offers many tools that are more customer success related such as setting a journey, conducting plays, and seeing activities related to the sales team for better …
We prefer to use Intercom for communications in general since we can keep all in one place. However, we were using other features in CZ instead of intercom e.g journeys instead of series for onboarding since the ones created in Intercom didn't have great engagement
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.
As you can see from the previous answers, there are many things that I believe the platform can improve, but that doesn't change the fact that it is the one that best serves us considering our main values as a company: Agility and Quality. With Intercom's real-time service functions, we were able to maintain an average response time of less than 2 minutes and a CSAT of 97%, something that we couldn't achieve with other platforms due to the lack of real-time service tools and also reports that help us improve. Como dá pra ver pelas respostas anteriores tem muitas coisas que acredito que a plataforma pode melhorar, mas isso não muda o fato de que ela é a que melhor nos atende tendo em vista nossos principais valores como empresa: Agilidade e Qualidade. Com as funções de atendimento em tempo real do Intercom conseguimos manter um tempo médio de resposta de menos de 2 minutos e um CSAT de 97%, algo que não conseguimos em outras plataformas pela falta de ferramentas para atendimento em tempo real e também de relatórios que nos ajudem a melhorar This review was originally written in Portuguese and has been translated into English using a third-party translation tool.

ChurnZero has excellent customer success! They worked very hard to ensure a successful implementation and launch.
The CZ platform gives a detailed view of customer usage. We know exactly how clients are using our platform which allows us to provide excellent customer success services. This allows helps our product team understand the needs of clients and the success of new features.
We are able to create plays based on usage which provides a customized and personal experience for each user. CZ makes it possible to give our clients what they need when they need it.
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
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
We have been and will be continuing our journey with Intercom and nothing too concerning has happened that I have experienced or heard of that has us on the edge yet. If it ever happens it will be something along the lines of "Outgrowing" the use of need of the platform.
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
The transition from AI to human is seamless. This is from my experience of contacting Intercom for help and your use of Fin AI. We currently do not have the scale for Fin AI, but it is under consideration for the near future. Outside of Fin AI for our use case, bots and automation have made it easier to direct users to the correct knowledge materials and made the transition to human support seamless when needed.
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.
Intercom is the premier customer support/engagement model and it definitely has one of the top tier customer support teams as well. I don't think I have ever waited more than 5 minutes to get the information I need or get help with an issue. They are incredible and I aim to model our customer service department after them.
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.
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)
The intercom is more intuitive and provides easier management and personalization of our conversations. It's been a while since I used Zendesk, so this might have changed, but Intercom provides a bigger catalog of functionality targeted to product marketing, such as emails, in-app banners, pop-ups, and, overall, outbound communications.
Faster customer onboarding: When we identified our biggest conversion factors, we were able to set up an onboarding sequence that helped people get started and converted faster.
Adoption: It's much easier to showcase a new software feature. We build out a post and a tour for any new software features and prompt it to show up the first time they log in, all through Intercom.
Money: It's saved us money in the long run considering how many softwares we would have needed to use in order to get the same features offered in Intercom.
