Natero is specifically built for customer success, other tools are merely capable of some of its functions. A tool like Pendo does a great job at aiding the product manager and helps to identify features and modules that are popular, but this doesn't translate into customer …

Freshworks Inc
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.

  • To promote new features.
  • To train customers on how to use new features.
  • To survey our customers within the software.

Cons
Freshworks Inc
  • 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.

  • I find the reporting and analytics to be a little light. They could improve custom reporting capabilities.
  • Would like to see the capabilities of the Pendo tagging tool built into the platform. (don't launch a separate product). I find the tagging tool does a much better job at selecting the components to be tagged than the platform does.
  • Sometimes takes a while to refresh counts when adding a new tag.

We have had an excellent experience with Pendo. When we've had questions or concerns, Pendo is very quick to respond and communicate with us. We have experienced top-notch customer support and customer engagement. We have actually modeled some of our implementation and product processes after Pendo's examples.

Overall, Pendo provides a smooth interface, especially with the most recent update, and I couldn't imagine using or learning any other platform so product focused. From the moment I log into Pendo, I know where I'm going and what I'm looking for and I'm able to find that, through the interface, in as little time as possible. This helps keep me focused on doing other tasks at work so I'm not overburdened with hunting things down in the system

They've been great anytime that we have needed help with something. They also have some really great help articles. We're able to figure most things out through their articles, but when we've had to call in they've been very helpful and we haven't had any problems. I'd highly recommend working with them.

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.

WalkMe is an industry leader, but they charge an arm and a leg. Working with them you get a lot of support and CSM time, but is it really worth that price tag? Pendo.io was an easy choice for that simple reason.

Return on Investment
Freshworks Inc
  • Visibility - We can now see in one place the many dimensions of customer health
  • Focus - Knowing who is in trouble and how that affects the business means teams can focus on key accounts
  • Insight - Natero shows the effectiveness of common actions, therefore we can improve processes over time

Pendo.io
  • We have had an ROI in reduced support contacts.
  • We have had increased NPS scores due to our ability to target messaging for the right reasons to the right audience members rather than blanket distribution of information.
  • Delayed deployment in certain environments (being worked through) has led to a delay in one business area, but it is not public facing yet so we aren't heavily impacted by that yet.
