Considered Both Products
Gainsight PX
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
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
I trusted Gainsight PX from the start since I am familiar with other Gainsight products.
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
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 …
Chose Gainsight PX
We chose Gainsight PX over Pendo because of the connector with Gainsight CS for the Customer Success Team.
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 …
Spekit
Chose Spekit
We selected Spekit because of its superior customer service and ability to handle our use case to have our Salesforce Stage Gates fully populated. The ability to have a definition "on-page" for Salesforce fields was critical for us.
Chose Spekit
Spekit may not be as robust as Confluence or organized as SharePoint, but its use of embedded tooltips (Speks) and browser extension put it in the S Tier for "just-in-time learning" platforms - particularly for customer-facing teams.
Chose Spekit
Spekit is fine, I just feel like it doesn't have the world's best upfront organizational tool. I like Atlassian Confluence due to the ability to have pages and have an organized thought. That does take significantly more effort to keep it organized and up to date which everyone …
Chose Spekit
I haven't used any other competitors.

Gainsight PXSpekit
Likelihood to Recommend
It’s a robust tool that allows you to easily map and track key features and actions within your products. It also allows for in app communications to help guide the user through the path you want them to follow. The ability to connect with Gainsight CS also allows you to leverage that data to drive actions for the account team, incorporate it in health scoring, and use it to trigger digital programs. You do need a well thought out strategy for management of the platform, the data and how you will use it.

Good situation: when you have way too many tools hosting content, Spekit is great at bringing everything together so I don't need to remember where things are hosted. I just need to know ish how to search. Bad: I feel like it still doesn't help people discover content nearly as much. The nice thing about a Confluence or other systems like that is that there are resources right in front of you, VS having to know what to search for. Also, I hate the extension, stop cluttering up Gmail.

Pros
  • Mapping your product is easier with PX than with Google Analytics (mapping your product makes usage data appear as hits on mapped URLs, buttons, etc)
  • PX is good at showing simple messaging popups to customers.
  • PX Badge functionality—a persistent hover- and click-enabled popup launcher, positioned on select pages and attached to select elements—works well as a self-serve resource for users. It can be unobtrusive yet right there when needed.
  • PX modal content is fully editable HTML with plenty of flexibility.
  • Audience filters are really powerful. You can target users by many built-in and dev-configurable attributes, like device-type (which helped me work with mobile web users), browser, account, parts of the application visited/used in the last day, and many more.

  • Looks great, the design of the plug-in looks very streamlined. It makes a difference if a plugin is ugly.
  • Integration is great. It installs into Google Chrome in seconds. It's always accessible when you need it
  • Usability is amazing. It automatically places itself near tabs that you might need help on.

Cons
  • Generate reports based on predefined segments is not possible. This is essential for us for creating an onboarding workflow.
  • On-screen guides randomly lose their mapping and need re-calibration. This might be due to our application responsive technology.
  • Missing customization on certain engagements - Creating a delay is not possible for all types which is needed.

  • Honestly, there are a lot of tools that do the same thing - there are lots of search tools for orgs that use too many tools to host content.
  • I truly despise all the little helpers when I download the extension. Its the worst, stop cluttering my chrome.

Usability
It is a good product, but like with every product, there is room for improvement or even just things I, as a user, would prefer, such as the ability to click on a company and have it go to Salesforce instead of Insight. It can also be difficult to find certain reports.

As an administrator, it is very easy to navigate. I can easily see which content is performing well, which content has not been touched. It's simple to teach new team members how to create content. We have added new authors easily in multiple groups in the business.

Support Rating
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.

Return on Investment
  • Customer Sentiment. Customers have been excited when we can show them data around usage and where we can improve.
  • Deciding to remove features. We have used PX to identify features that have little to no usage which allows us to get rid of unnecessary process and maintenance.
  • Identifying areas of improvement. We are able to find areas of our product that we need to focus on improving where previously we would have missed or had a tough time justifying spending time and resources.
Read full review
  • The time saved from using Spekit is incredible. No more calls/emails asking "what's this field for?" or "How do I do ?" It's all right there, thanks to Spekit.
  • Using Spekit has provided an unexpected morale boost because it's not only easy to use, but it's making work more enjoyable too.

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.
