    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.

    Planhat
    For someone working in the Customer Success team, Planhat is a must-have software. All your client-level data can be easily managed, stored, and reviewed at any point in time by Planhat. It also helps the management and the leadership team better see each account and its usage. It also helps in identifying potentially risky customers and taking the required actions to engage and retain the account. It also gets integrated easily with other meeting recording tools wherein the summary from the tool gets easily synced with Planhat

    Pros
    Freshworks Inc
    • Love the accounts view to see all my accounts, their health and some helpful stats!
    • The charting is relevant and detailed for customers to understand their usage of our product. The look and feel is very clean and easy to understand.
    • In the account, you can link to other documentation, which is great!

    • Reporting - you can set up filters with boolean criteria to give you insight into everything you need to know.
    • Playbooks - these are very good for less-experienced CSM's who need a step-by-step guide on how to deal with different stages of the customer lifecycle. More experienced CSM's may not need the playbooks.
    • Usage data for customers - there's a wide range of charts in Planhat that tell the story of client consumption.

    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.

    • Allow for cc'ing of AEs or others within the same organization from the messaging center. When I went to send a message from within Planhat, I had to manually type out the AE's email address every time if I wanted them cc'd.
    • The fonts were funky if I went to add text into an existing email template. For example, if I added in an extra sentence or paragraph, in Outlook on the recipient's end, the font was different despite looking the same within Planhat. Gmail was all consistent, Outlook was showing a different font.

    It takes a while to learn Planhat even for experienced users. It has limitations in terms of what data you can present where, but its important to set internal guides outside Planhat as well so everybody working collaborative. But as CSM Planhat is a great- and critical tool which I use daily to optimise my work schedule and customer interaction with various topics.

    The support team couldn't be better. They are quick to respond, very helpful, and thorough. Our CS manager was always happy to schedule calls to go through specific feature queries and she ensured we had a smooth and quick setup.

    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.

    Planhat
    I was not the person involved in choosing Planhat, but it seems to me that Planhat is much better suited to an account management style role, whereas Hubspot is closer to a sales CRM instead. In my position, Planhat is better suited as it is more graphical, more flexible, and easier to find information on.

    • 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

    • Planhat has, for the first time, given us a 360-degree view of all our customers and access to all the different types of communication we have with them across different departments and functions.
    • The ability to automate workflows, tasks, and assign playbooks to the various phases of our customer lifecycle has aligned all our departments.
