Chose ClientSuccess
Hubspot is excellent as it was an easy expansion from the sales and marketing work we were using it for. It meets our needs but isn't entirely as geared towards customer success like ClientSuccess. ClientSuccess has more bells and whistles that are out of the box vs. Hubspot, …
Chose ClientSuccess
Overall, we chose ClientSuccess over others because of the easy to use interface, the ability to tie everything we need into one place and have real-time reporting to prevent churn.
Chose ClientSuccess
We looked at a number of CRM systems. A lot of them were pricey and not designed for membership style revenue models. That's the main reason why CS works so well within our company.
Chose ClientSuccess
ClientSuccess has less amount of features and less "horsepower," however that simplicity is something that has helped us in our early days.
Chose ClientSuccess
Vs. Gainsight - I believe this solution is over-engineered and time to value is just too long for me.
Chose ClientSuccess
Our team had previously been using Hubspot CRM as a way to manage client contracts in combination with Trello for simple client progress mapping, and Client Success has eliminated the need to use either of them for client management. Hubspot is designed more for sales processes …
Chose ClientSuccess
Taking notes/logging calls is much easier.
Chose ClientSuccess
Before we evaluated ClientSuccess, we took a look at Gainsight. It is a power customer success tool and it definitely covered all the features a Customer Success team could need, but ultimately we selected ClientSuccess as a better fit for our company where we were at the …
Chose ClientSuccess
Personally, I think I have a fondness for Woopra that isn't shared by my team. ClientSuccess is clean, efficient and easy to use, but I have love for Woopra that I can't shake. That being said, we are comparing diamonds to diamonds, and I think you should go with the one that …
Chose ClientSuccess
Honestly just saw product demos, didn't evaluate hands-on. For our use case, the price point was MUCH more accommodating.

ClientSuccess is perfect for the growing small-to-medium business like ours. It's simple and easy enough to quickly implement as a starter solution, but also robust enough to support multiple Customer Success teams. It may fall a bit short in terms of an enterprise organization in scale, customization, and flexibility. However, I can see enterprise organizations using different instances of ClientSuccess, perhaps for different departments or sections, if those organizations didn't need overarching analytics

Pros
  • Pulse - It is so nice to collect the pulses of my client to know if they are healthy or not. I base a lot of my interactions with clients off of pulse. It shows me how many days it's been since I last had a pulse check on someone and from there I can see if I need to reach out or not.
  • Automated Emails - It's so comforting to know that my clients are being communicated to when I haven't thought to reach out to them. I have set up a lot of automated emails and rules for when they should go out and I've had a lot of clients get in touch with me from it that need.
  • Success Cycles - It has allowed me to set up success cycles for the clients. Because of this, I know exactly how to train them and exactly where they're at in the training process.

Cons
  • The support view takes a few steps to get to the meat and potatoes.
  • The success score model can be improved to include smaller one-off campaigns. Success score is good for a campaign that has existed for a while but not for the one-off projects.

Our team had previously been using HubSpot CRM as a way to manage client contracts in combination with Trello for simple client progress mapping, and Client Success has eliminated the need to use either of them for client management. HubSpot is designed more for sales processes and was missing a way for our team to get an accurate view of our clients and their details. In a similar manner, Trello is designed more for task and project management and didn't provide the detail orientation we needed.

Return on Investment
  • Within the first week, leadership was able to have more visibility into the lifestage and health score of each client
  • We needed to become more proactive as an organization and this platform has allowed us to do so with real-time metrics and reporting.
  • We needed to find a way to scale our approach, especially as our Client Success organization continues to grow, and this is already helping.
