    Initially [we were] with Gainsight, but their modifications to the UI and inability to work at Contract level in Salesforce really killed it for us. We used Gainsight 3 years prior to switching to Totango. Both were limited rollout to the Elite CSM team followed by broader …

    Two main gaps made us choosing Totango instead of Gainsight:
    1. Pricing - We do believe Gainsight has a great product and service, but our company can't afford it before scaling.

    The price was a big factor for similar features. Although the other system had more features and a cleaner/more complete integration with Salesforce (as a Salesforce extension), we didn't need all the bells and whistles a this point.

    We used Salesforce extensively for several years and Totango integrates directly into Salesforce, pulling data into their product as well as pushing data back to Salesforce. As they add new functionality it quickly and easily integrates into Salesforce through the API.

    The system is good for Customer Success teams to get started and if all the users are updating it responsibly. There are not many checks and balances in the system so your team will have to be disciplined. The reason why I have not been generous with my rating is only because of the slow nature of support and upgrades to the product.

    • The knowledge base with content and videos is still work in progress.

    • Integrations -- in my experience, they constantly break and disconnect.
    • Implementation -- I feel it was a HUGE challenge to set-up our environment. It took over 200 hours and it didn't work.
    • Communication -- during implementation/onboarding, in my opinion, we were mislead on how to create some of our custom data objects and it ended up being a big waste of time since the approach we were instructed to use ended up being incorrect.

    I personally believe Totango is the right Customer Success Tool for me, my team, and my organization. I couldn't find limitations until now, it's capabilities are on point and it's very scalable. of course, transitioning to another tool would mean a lot of hours and training, and would expose risks

    I have yet to experience any downtime with Totango (knock on wood) so reliability has been really top tier since we were onboarded.

    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.

    When we get issues with Strikedeck, we raise it internally with the Strikedeck admin team. They then contact Strikedeck and raise a support ticket. The turnaround time is quick quick. But from my personal use of Strikedeck, I have only come across few situations where a support ticket is raised with Strikedeck.

    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.
