Chose Gainsight PX
Unfortunately, I haven't used any other product like Gainsight PX so will move to the next question.
Chose Gainsight PX
I have used and evaluated a few similar products to Gainsight PX, including Appcues, WalkMe, and Pendo. I found that Gainsight PX was the most comprehensive and user-friendly platform, offering features such as customizable onboarding flows, product usage tracking, and …
Chose Gainsight PX
We leaned towards Gainsight PX because of the tight integration with Gainsight. Implementations were somewhat similar but the ease of mapping for all features and modules was superior for PX.
Chose Gainsight PX
Because of better UI then the competitors. Also the usage statistics were well drafted in graphs and were easy to understand.
Chose Gainsight PX
It's been a couple years since I've used Pendo and admittedly we were not set up in the best way for Pendo to work like we have PX. Specifically I am referring to how our elements were tagged.

That being said, here is what I recall as main differences:
Chose Gainsight PX
The feature on Gainsight PX are easy to understand and implement in the solution, the pricing is also very competitive and functionalities like Customer health score, Customer monitoring, playbooks, surveys etc helps us to provide great insight to the team.
Chose Gainsight PX
Heap has a great value proposition and very nice user experience. But it lacks the clear funnel analysis that Gainsight PX provides. Plus Heap also does not have integration with a lot of CRMs and Customer data platforms. Also, Additionally if you go in the market to find Heap …
Chose Gainsight PX
I did not select Gainsight and we recently switched some of our products to other software which give us better targeting options but are more difficult to implement.
Chose Gainsight PX
Mixpanel was much less mature when we ditched it for Gainsight, and the Salesforce integration was very important to us, and Gainsight was the main service that offered it at the time. Mixpanel is probably better today if you look at the big picture, and don't need a specific …
Chose Gainsight PX
I trusted Gainsight PX from the start since I am familiar with other Gainsight products.
Chose Gainsight PX
ChurnZero is similar in its NPS and walk-through abilities as is user IQ but neither fits in the exact same category. Px is unique to anything I've used for the data extraction it offers. It's not a CS tool like those I mentioned but it is easily the best in terms of tracking …
Chose Gainsight PX
HelpHero is a very flexible and powerful walkthrough tool. We've used it alongside PX. We still use PX for most customer messages, CES surveys, and in-app badges.

I also evaluated Pendo, WalkMe, and a few other DAPs.
Chose Gainsight PX
We have explored a few options this year and found that Gainsight PX was still the best option for us.
Chose Gainsight PX
Between the products analyzed, Pendo and Gainsight PX were most complete/mature. At the time, Pendo's UI seemed more intuitive than Gainsight PX. Chameleon and Appcues seemed easiest to use, but were lacking some of the functionality we were looking for. Ultimately chose …
Chose Gainsight PX
We chose Gainsight PX over Pendo because of the connector with Gainsight CS for the Customer Success Team.
Chose Gainsight PX
Working with both Gainsight PX and Mixpanel, my experience has been that the integration of Gainsight PX was much easier. Additionally controlling profiles and personas to make sure each group is getting the data they need, and only the data they should see, is easier with Gains…
Chose Gainsight PX
The main reason is that Gainsight PX offers a perfect combo - analytics and customer engagement. That allows us to make the engagement contextual, based on real-time analytics results.
Chose Gainsight PX
WalkMe: while the in-app engagements were powerful, there was no email capability, and the analytics were an afterthought (rather than a core part of the solution).
Whatfix: the concept was great; the in-app engagements could be made into documentation and videos. However, we …

Gainsight PX
Likelihood to Recommend
Gainsight
Gainsight PX is well suited for companies that are looking to measure customer engagement, usage, and adoption of their products and services. It is also well suited for companies that are looking to gain insights into customer behavior and preferences. Gainsight PX can be used to track customer journeys and measure customer satisfaction.

On the other hand, Gainsight PX is less appropriate for companies that are looking to measure sales performance or customer lifetime value. It is also not well suited for companies that are looking to measure customer retention or customer churn.

Pros
Gainsight
  • Backfilling data. Many tools do not have the ability to be tracking elements once they are available and then pull it in and have historical views. You're not starting from scratch once you identify something.
  • Educational Engagements. There are a ton of options for in-app messaging and its very customizable and easy to set up.
  • Product Mapper. Organizing and shifting structure is easy to change. Setting multiple rules on a feature and confirming what you tagged is easy to do.

Cons
Gainsight
  • Walk through functionality is weaker than other providers. If you ask a user to do something on screen, and that action reloads the page, the tour closes. This shortcoming is the primary cause for us using another walkthrough tool.
  • There is no global CSS styling for PX modals. When I make a new CSS refinement, it's limited to that one engagement only. Everytime I have a new message to deliver, I know picking a correct tour type, finding a good starting place in existing CSS and content, working over the CSS to handle new content will all take more time that it takes in other tools with universal styling controls.
  • The page reload tour cancelation also affects surveys. Want to send a CES survey after a user clicks a button that causes a URL change? You can't. Indirectly, you can load the survey if the user has clicked the button < 1 day ago, and is on URL X. If the URL is the same before and after the button click, even this work around wont work.
  • Not sure how effective PX is on mobile, the functionality did not exist while we were building our mobile app, and we've yet to add it in.
  • Would be nice if it could integrate our knowledge base, but only one KB vendor was supported (not our Freshdesk) last I looked

I like the product, find it pretty easy to use. As we move forward, looking forward to using more of the functionality.

I have not had to contact support frequently but when I have I used the chat and my questions were answered immediately. I've also used their knowledge center, help documentation and training videos which are all very thorough. The support we've received from our Customer Success Manager has been helpful as well.

Heap has a great value proposition and very nice user experience. But it lacks the clear funnel analysis that Gainsight PX provides.

Return on Investment
Gainsight
  • Allow us to integrate actual product usage with Salesforce.
  • Too much developer time went into it, especially when the premise was that this was mostly going to be handled by the Product team. This was mostly because the Gainsight PX event editor doesn't support more complex querying on events.

Gainsight PX Screenshots

Screenshot of Access all of your key metrics in one place.Screenshot of PX Dashboards offer an interactive way of viewing data. By default, Gainsight provides you with the Gainsight PX Dashboard, but you can create separate Dashboards for each user, based on their requirements. 

For example, you can create a Dashboard, set it to private and grant access only to the top-level executives who are interested in viewing the performance of company KPIs. You can create a Dashboard for a Product Manager and include widgets which show key metrics for the product they own.Screenshot of Gainsight PX connects directly to your CRM and other customer data sources, letting you leverage custom events with no limits on what you can explore – all without using any query language.

Track specific events and compare any number of different cohorts and behaviors to learn more about a specific behavior or validate a specific hypothesis. You can use the group by functionality to aggregate results based on specific fields, and you can analyze custom event properties based on the property values. This may come handy when you want to measure the event properties such as video play counts or monetary values you're passing to Gainsight PX via custom events.Screenshot of Product Mapper® is an easy to use way of describing your product features with a simple "point, click and describe."   Each mapped feature can be viewed hierarchically within your Product Feature Tree®.   

Features can be organized in any way that makes sense for your particular application.  For example, you can organize by modules and features or you can nest sub-modules under modules and add features at any level.Screenshot of You can use existing templates while setting up Guide engagements. You can even save the newly created/modified template and use the saved template in the future in order to save time. Once you select the template, you can modify your template–no coding required, but it's there if you want it.Screenshot of Present targeted and timely in-app surveys so you can get more relevant feedback from the right people to better understand their needs and wants, and easily see the results in real-time.
