Chose Totango
Our organization has successfully unlocked more value from Totango than I've seen with the two other CS platforms I've used at prior organizations
Chose Totango
I've implemented dozens of systems over the last 15 years and, I feel, Totango was by far the most challenging. I have a background in several areas, but the most applicable to Totango is my background in data management, systems administration, programming, web design, web …
Chose Totango
Pipedrive is a great CRM for Sales purposes but it doesnt give much tools for CX management. Totango is all the opposite, it is an excellent product for Customer Management . We currently use both platforms integrated with each other and it gives great results to both Sales and …
Chose Totango
Totango's UI is clean, very easy to find whatever you need on the account. Its ability to search using the company domain of a customer definitely saves time and effort instead of switching to other databases. It also allows me to view my task on a weekly basis instead of …
Chose Totango
All systems have positives and negatives but Totango fit immediate needs best
Chose Totango
I have not assessed others myself, but I had colleagues that did prior to committing to Totango.
Chose Totango
Totango was the best platform for our needs, particularly the ability to segment and the ease of use versus other products for the day to day work of our CSMs
Chose Totango
I think Totango has features and implementation very similar to top-of-the-line CRMs but is easier to implement. Its incredibly visibly pleasing and out-of-the-box dashboards make it easy to get immediate visibility into your customer landscape. They also have a great customer …
Chose Totango
I don't make the purchasing decisions, and I don't know which other companies were in the running, but as far as the expectation of what we had anticipated TT doing for us, and what we see in our day-to-day, I think it answers the biggest questions we had which were - "how do …
Chose Totango
Totango was a good fit and middle ground between Gainsight which was overwhelming for our needs and ChurnZero which at the time was not as mature as it is today. Simple to use straightforward interface which is also flexible and customizable. The Totango product team has been …
Chose Totango
Totango seemed the best way to have quick wins, long term wins, and work through optimizations and iterations along the way. We could launch piecemeal and adapt to our business needs as we saw value in Totango, instead of having to create a masterpiece that would be complex to …
Chose Totango
Totango had a much cleaner UI and was much more affordable for a small company. Totango also looked like it would be more straightforward and easier to use for my customer success team. Other companies didn't handle the multi-level customer hierarchies as cleanly as Totango and …
Chose Totango
Not relevant. Do not have experience working with other customer success platforms.
Chose Totango
Totango is easy to use and has great demos.
Chose Totango
Planhat feels like Pandora's box. It was very cool, shiny, complete but felt like an empty canvas. We felt so overwhelmed by the amount of possibilities that we didn't know where to begin. Because we sought out a tool which could help us out with the best 'time-to-value' due to …
Chose Totango
We had previously used Salesforce for years for our CSMs and other functions but found that it never quite met what we needed it to do for our CSMs. It was cumbersome with reporting and showing workflow. It was also more manual with detailing engagements or reaching our clients …
Chose Totango
Totango felt like a great option that was beyond entry-level, but not a sledgehammer for a nail for what, at the time, was a brand new Customer Experience team being formed.

Cons
  • Not necessarily a bad thing, but being so simple, it could contain even more advanced features for "customer success", but however, the reason you really use Startdeliver is for its simplicity
  • could be slightly more distinct separation between customers and internal user (you confuse what is what sometimes)
  • I don't fully understand the naming and logic about their new packages, but this is subjective opinion

  • Editing templates can be slow and confusing.
  • Building items across teams can be a challenge.
  • Reports and segments seem to be the same thing and it's a challenge telling people to build a segment when they are looking to build a report.

We like the tool enough to keep it in the long run. It does what we need it exactly to do, and I think there's still a lot for us to uncover in terms of its capabilities. There are a lot of functions we want to take the time to learn, but we've been strapped on resources so are just staying afloat.

Usability
from its incredible UI/X, to its easy to use features, to its native integrations, and to its overall approach to easily keep track of your customer success function as such - if you are not using Startdeliver as a CS team - you must be doing something wrong, so don't hesitate.

It is easy to use and understand, and simple to follow day to day. Logging notes and tasks is one of the key areas this is utilised along with tracking reports and accessing key data points for conversations with customers which is helpful. Mobile app helps too to access information on the go.

Totango is available all the time . the only problem is that some times it takes time to load specially the records of the customers. The data loading inside the customer account is fast. It may be because of internet service but still it can i,prove a lot. i have seen other competitors software which is faster

At times the integration sync can be really slow when it comes to touchpoints. I can't say the same for customer health syncing, but I do tend to notice the lag from email syncing, and in those cases, I will need to refresh the Totango page a couple of times or wait a couple of extra seconds/minutes for it to show up.

I give Totango a support rating of 10 because I can always get support whenever needed. If its a technical issue, I know I can email their support team for help. If it's a more in depth question with respect to our instance of Totango, I can reach out to our CSM and always get help in a very reasonable amount of time. I always look to Totango as the standard when I think of how to best communicate and support our own customers.

Our CSM did a great job of conducting the training so we understand, at the very least, the functionality that is directly relevant to us. This also allowed us to train our own new team mates when onboarding based on the training flow that was first presented to us. This was also conducted as a interactive sessions, as training are notoriously known to be dry

Totango has been easy for our team to integrate most of our new features into, which is great considering we have to factor in the customers' usage of the new features into all of the health and usage metrics we have. It has taken a while to integrate our second product however, which is why I would rank this a 7.

Planhat might be a unicorn headed platform with incredible functions and features as well, but in reality, who will really use all of those features? Most CS teams just wants simplicity, not for things to become rocket science. Stay simple and go for a platform that will keep you grounded to the hardcore basics, and let your CS team do the rest.

I've implemented dozens of systems over the last 15 years and, I feel, Totango was by far the most challenging. I have a background in several areas, but the most applicable to Totango is my background in data management, systems administration, programming, web design, web dev. Totango was very challenging to set-up. Other systems have more intuitive UIs and onboarding. For anyone wanting to use Totango, don't. For those that are still not convinced, I would make sure you are game for a very long implementation and the ongoing maintenance of syncing/resyncing. If you are in charge of implementation, in my experience, this is a not a 'set it and forget it' type of platform. It does require someone who is highly technical to partner with your customer success team to make sure it is functioning properly.

Information keeps missing and changing in totango . Because of that there is are lot of problems with it. We need to manually keep the backup in an another file. More over if in case we take the backup its so hard to track since its all in numbers. Totango can be much better if the cloud storage is working fine. My company is planning to discontinue due to this factor
