    It would be well suited if we used it with Azure DevOps as we can effortlessly integrate the test cases and even stories or tasks to stay on track with our work. Those test cases can even be reused across multiple projects. Using any other third-party tools, such as Jira, can be less appropriate, as it's not a Microsoft tool, and its capabilities will be limited.

    Pros
    Totango
    • Enables us to easily send and collect NPS & CSAT scores regularly.
    • Syncs with HubSpot to bring in updated client data and deals automatically.
    • Allows us to manage clients based on health score which is multi-dimensional.
    • I can log touch points directly in Totango from Gmail so easily..
    • As we improve and develop our non SaaS business client experience, Totango continues to develop more functionality that we can benefit from.

    Cons
    Totango
    • 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.

    • The user community of the Visual Studio Test product is weak. For instant problems with this product, it is necessary to quickly reach the source of the error.
    • Licence fees need to be more reasonable. License prices need to be reduced so that they can easily compete with free testing tools.

    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

    Usability
    Totango
    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.

    It is very usable if you are familiar with Visual Studio to begin with. If you are new to the interface, it can be a long ramp up period for Testers not used to the GUI. There is always the web option which seems to be more intuitive for many Testers.

    Reliability and Availability
    Totango
    I have yet to experience any downtime with Totango (knock on wood) so reliability has been really top tier since we were onboarded. Given that the support team has been really helpful so far, I can imagine should downtime every be the case, they'll be able to communicate proactively/effectively on the current state of the platform

    Performance
    Totango
    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.

    Support Rating
    Totango
    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.

    Visual Studio Test Professional is backed up by the full support of the Microsoft Corporation. That means twenty-four/seven customer support by quality, highly-trained professionals who understand every possible issue that you have experienced before. They are nice, efficient, and highly professional. I recommend them.

    Online Training
    Totango
    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

    Implementation Rating
    Totango
    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.

    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 Customer Success teams

    The visual Studio Test tool is faster than other tools. Since the development and testing processes are in one tool, it is more profitable in terms of cost. It is more inconvenient to write a test case in DevOps.

    Scalability
    Totango
    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

    • One of the positive ROIs of Visual Studios is the fact that it makes producing our work at a quick rate, things like Intellisense make our work get produced at a much higher rate which is good for our return of investment.
    • Testing by the developers has increased by 23%, we now take the time to actually test our product before we send it to our QA people.
    • I am not aware of any negative ROI aspects to our company that have been found.
