Gainsight Customer Communities vs. Seismic Knowledge

A great scenario that we use the community for is product adoption. That's one of the things we use it for. So sending our new customers as part of their onboarding flow to the community to learn from others and see the resources that are available and know that there's a place for them to ask questions and get their questions answered. That's probably one of our primary use cases and scenarios that it works straight in. I can't really think of something that it wouldn't work good for. That's a tough one to think of on the spot.

For fast and reliable lesson builders that anyone can learn, Lessonly is fantastic. We went from someone having to know basic HTML just to put a course up, to anyone who knows how to use a simple editor being able to take courses and assign them to their teams. We saved so much time and effort. In the case of customers wanting content, it becomes more tricky. There's not necessarily a good way to offer courses to people outside of your organization.

• The REST API could use some work with missing capabilities.
• Speed; production instance can sometimes be noticeably slow, especially on the back-end.

Gainsight CC is very versatile and easy to update in the areas they provide for customization. There are still some limitations that surprise us, but I really we are pleased with the ability to make changes on the fly. Overall we are able to accomplish what we desire to accomplish, and appreciate how user friendly it is

Gainsight CC was a clear winner for us. Khoros was second, but we eliminated it from consideration due to cost and how hard it is to implement. Verint is a great platform, but lacks integrations. Circle is more of a small community platform and better suited to communities of practice.

I have not used other products like Lessonly Knowledge. So far every organization I have worked at has used Lessonly Knowledge. I believe that says it all, it seems as though every organization prioritizes purchasing this tool for their employees. This is a good sign! I don't see our organization using another any time soon.

• We are actually doing some work to prove return on investment for investing in Gainsight Customer Communities right now, and it's proving to be exponentially higher than we initially estimated. I'm not sure the exact numbers off the top of my head, but we're having a monumental impact compared to what we projected in terms of monthly recurring revenue and customer churn.
