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.

Planhat
Planhat is very cost-effective compared to its competitors and offers a similar level of functionality. So if you are looking for a CS platform that will give your CSM's all the data they need to manage their portfolio, then Planhat will do the job very well. I was part of the team that was tasked with selecting a CS platform for Pexip, and the combination of cost and performance made Planhat a clear winner against the other two products we were evaluating.
I still use Salesforce on a daily basis because that's the platform we use to generate quotes. It would be nice if I only had one platform to perform all of my CS tasks in. I'm not sure if that's a criticism of Planhat or not, as I don't know if it has a quoting module that we haven't implemented, or whether that function simply isn't available.

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.

Planhat
  • 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.

Planhat is an easy-to-use, intuitive software that didn't take long to set up and learn. We are able to view powerful, rich data in dashboards that break everything down so comprehensively. The support team is always there to help and is very quick to respond in live chat--so if you do have an issue or are unsure of how to use a feature, you will more than likely get an immediate response to your query, while still in the platform.

Planhat support is excellent. We have a dedicated resource allocated to work with us, and he is extremely knowledgeable, articulate and responsive. The wider support team at Planhat is also very good, responding quickly to any issues logged. As an end-user, you can chat with Planhat support if you encounter any issues or have any questions, and they have always helped me.

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
Planhat was the most agile and easy to use software, while still having unique and powerful features that allowed us to really customize the software around our organization and needs. Planhat is more than a Customer Success tool in essence and adds tremendous value and flexibility over its competitors.
