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.
Startdeliver
Chose Startdeliver
planhat might be a unicorn headed platform with incredible functions and features as well, but in reality, who will really use all of those features? Most CS teams just wants simplicity, not for things to become rocket science. Stay simple and go for a platform that will keep …

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.

with Startdeliver, we could instantly know what are clients are doing in our platform, even our salesteam testing out prospects. this is such an invaluable insight to have. And by also adding an integration to a CRM, this is just a cheat code done so simply, that competitors can only look in awe.

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.

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
  • Not necessarily a bad thing, but being so simple, it could contain even more advanced features for "customer success", but however, the reason you really use Startdeliver is for its simplicity
  • could be slightly more distinct separation between customers and internal user (you confuse what is what sometimes)
  • I don't fully understand the naming and logic about their new packages, but this is subjective opinion

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

Usability
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

from its incredible UI/X, to its easy to use features, to its native integrations, and to its overall approach to easily keep track of your customer success function as such - if you are not using Startdeliver as a CS team - you must be doing something wrong, so don't hesitate.

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.

Planhat might be a unicorn headed platform with incredible functions and features as well, but in reality, who will really use all of those features? Most CS teams just wants simplicity, not for things to become rocket science. Stay simple and go for a platform that will keep you grounded to the hardcore basics, and let your CS team do the rest.
