What is ChurnZero?
ChurnZero's real-time SaaS platform aims to help subscription businesses prevent customer churn. The platform integrates tightly with an organization's CRM system and their application or service. In doing so, ChurnZero (1) allows the business to understand how their customers use their product, (2) assesses customer health and likelihood to renew, and (3) gives the business the means to automate and personalize the customer experience through timely and relevant touchpoints, including in-app content.

ChrunZero is great for CSM's!
We use ChurnZero to log all of our interactions with our clients. we can also use it to see usage within the system. We also use it to mass communicate to them and then can use that to track those who open it.
- Lots of things that it can do!
- Keeps you organized!
- Send yourself tasks!
- Keep track of all client interactions
- There is so much that you can do that I don't know where to start!
- Wish it was easier to report on things.

ChurnZero is the CS lifecycle product you are looking for.
ChurnZero allows us to automate a lot of our CS processes, allowing for more team bandwidth and the ability for the company to keep the CS team lean. It also allows us to put a lot of information as well as customer communication for all types of updates and training in-app, which increases our app usage and enables our customers to confidently continue to use our product.
- In-App communication
- Automation of customer touch points
- Ability to move customers through journeys and plays automatically or manually depending on needs.
- This is not an implementation process that can be handled by one person unless they are given time. The process can be dev-less, but, it's going to be important to put a team on this implementation process to make sure that all bases are covered.

ChurnZero is a must have tool for Customer Service
ChurnZero identifies the activity of their use within our platform- DonorSearch. It can also be used as an organizational tool to generate reports and track tasks. My use case within ChurnZero is to identify clients who have low activity, so I can be proactive and reach out.
- Tracks usage
- Many filters for segmentation and reports
- Tracks tasks and productivity
- Links to Salesforce
- Currently the emails that we send out do not link up to Salesforce.
- Currently the usage isn't tracked within our billing system
- Interface with account plays can be confusing
At my company, we use ChurnZero to get an idea of how our clients are doing using our product, their process of adopting it, and identifying the risk of clients who aren't getting value from what we offer. This allows us to proactively help clients who may not even realize they aren't getting as much out of our product as they could.
- Automating parts of customer experience.
- Identifying cancelation risks.
- Identifying client adoption of product.
- Custom Date range for the usage panel on a Customer Profile.
- Custom Links for linking to different internal systems that there may not be a direct integration for.
- Connecting to a VoIP system like Ring Central would be cool, so I don't have to always go into my CRM to make client calls but it's definitely a "nice to have" and not critical.

A Great CRM for Success
We use ChurnZero for our Customer Success teams daily functions. ChurnZero has enabled us to begin proactive outreach and management of our clients which helps to encourage renewal and upsell opportunities. Our current client total is close to 150 with 3 subscription types however ChurnZero absolutely is a great fit for both smaller and larger companies. It assists us in onboarding, in-flight and renewal engagements with clients.
- Proactive client management
- Training and client education
- Renewal and upsell identification
- Upsell Identification
- Training Hubs
- Multi-integration
Our Customer Success Team was on the left side of the maturity and sophistication curve, before ChurnZero we were managing customer lists in spreadsheets and manually keeping track of renewals, customer issues, and complaints. We were simply falling behind and being extremely reactive. With ChurnZero we can now be PROACTIVE with our customers!
- Account scoring.
- Churn modeling/projecting.
- Reporting and account dashboards.
- Automated journeys.
- Customer segmentation.
- Lack of real time data updates, the churn score, which is the basics of ChurnZero, does not update in real time.
- Reporting can be a little laggy in the UI.
- Need to refresh segments to see changes in data/reports.
ChurnZero is a crucial part of my team's everyday software stack and acts as the primary home 'hub' for most of the activities we conduct each and every day. It allows us to monitor the health and wellbeing of our growing customer base at scale, as well as automate communications, log meetings, develop custom scoring models, and more. Given our customer success team's purview of ensuring the satisfaction and well-being of our customers, ChurnZero is an indispensable tool for us.
- Automated drip communication cadences
- At-a-glance account management
- Automated data exports
- UI and UX have a steep learning curve
- Churnscore model could benefit from additional complexity and flexibility.
ChurnZero helps us keep a finger on the pulse of our clients and how they interact with our systems. While our team hunkers down in the trenches, ChurnZero provides a cumulative view that allows us to make sure we keep a high level of user engagement. With hundreds of clients, this gives us a better idea of who needs to be kept up with while still allowing us to focus on the various tasks we deal with on a daily basis. The system is practically a member of the team in its own right.
- Allows for flexible creation of user milestones and metrics that we want to keep track of as a company.
- Provides a complete picture of customer activity.
- Enables our team to work on our individual tasks while utilizing our data to provide efficient and insightful reporting metrics.
- Platform definitely requires continuous training/consultation.
- Product would be difficult to set up without help from the ChurnZero team.
- Requires a large amount of time commitment from your internal team to maintain.

A General Review of ChurnZero
ChurnZero is a product that we utilize for the health management of our clients. We use it on a daily basis, and it has saved time through automated plays, health score generation, and many other tools that give us a much better view of what our clients are doing. I use ChurnZero for the management of daily tasks and operations, and it helps me get a quicker overall view of my current account workload.
- Automate Life Time Journey
- Create Tasks for To-Do's that are normally forgotten
- Manage a large book of business more easily
- ChurnZero needs more training resources
- ChurnZero needs more reasons to be inside of their app, when I have so many competing software
- ChurnZero needs more automation that can be built
ChurnZero is used by:
- Customer Success
- Product
- Marketing
- Senior Management
(- Onboarding to follow soon)
With the help of the automation that CZ provides us, we are able to have visibility on all of our customers. As we service thousands of them, a manually going into each and every account would just not be doable, not even with hundreds of CSM's! Thanks to the DevLess automation that CZ offers, all we needed to do was add a javascript line to our code, and CZ tracks which user is active, and where! Further to that, we added more 'events' that show us how healthy a customer is. If a customer shows signs of disengagement, we get alerts and can reach out. With a daily dashboard, all our CSMs have a place to work from. Thanks to the Slack integration, all of the company has access to the key details of each and every customer. Customer Success is not done by a department, it is carried out throughout the organisation, and CZ is at the center of it.

ChurnZero - The Gift That Keeps on Giving
We purchased ChurnZero to support a tech touch enablement process and it has delivered on that and so much more! It has become the core of how we not only do customer success but has helped to push and evolve the business to be more data-driven and data-rich. More importantly, individual CSMs, now feel empowered with what they own and we have been able to build out scalable playbooks that allow us to meet the needs of teams and the needs of our customers.
- Customer Success
- Onboarding
- Insights into product roadmap
We use ChurnZero to judge customer health and predict churn. We have an active dashboard that helps us segment and see the health of customers based on segments we have set up. We also use ChurnZero to automate customer outreach and small admin task, finally it is used for surveys and eventually onboarding help (still to be set up).
- Customer Health scoring
- Segmenting Customers
- Customer Comms Automation
- Custom tables from Salesforce.

A top notch CS platform
My team uses ChurnZero for all things Customer Success Management. We track all customer details, notes, risk, usage, churn details, etc. It's an integral piece of our day-to-day supporting our customers. We also utilize ChurnZero for our NPS surveys, which is critical to our service/business improvements daily.
- Fantastic segmentation engine across accounts, contacts and much more
- Easy NPS flows
- Great "Plays" or communication and internal notification cadences
- The UI and UX can use improvement - mainly the Email editor is clunky and tough to format
- When sync issues occur from ChurnZero to Salesforce, it's tricky understanding the full impact and details
I work with ChurnZero on a daily basis to manage more customers through automation. I have become 5 times more effective at work due to ChurnZero. This helps me become more proactive towards customers.
- Automated communication towards customers depending on their usage of our platform, both through emails and SMS.
- Dynamic segmentation of customers.
- Getting insights about customers makes it possible for me to become more proactive in my communication with customers.
- The hierarchy if you are several teams working in ChurnZero but you don't want everyone to see all customers.

En Route to Zero Churn with Churn Zero
I use ChurnZero to help monitor and track customers that are at risk of churning. ChurnZero allows me to see what are the main drivers when it comes to customer churn. I am also able to monitor tasks and action plans set in place for those customers to help mitigate their risk of churning.
- Organization
- Responsiveness
- Creating Segments of Customers
- Training
- A bit busy

ChurnZero is SaaS
It helps to automatize a lot of our interactions with customers and also to filter and prioritize our daily tasks.
- Custom Dashboards to filter our accounts and target specific fields.
- Segments to filter our accounts
- Playbooks to automatize actions
- Command Center to have a quick view of my daily tasks
- Custom Tables could be easier to read
- I would like to add graphics to send on automatized emails
- Plays more user friendly

ChurnZero is a game changer
We use ChurnZero to organize and track each of our customer accounts. Integrating Salesforce, ZenDesk, and surveys we have access to pertinent information that we can quickly act on and plan for. The use of plays and alerts in conjunction with the external disparate systems allows us to stay on track and engaged.
- Alerts
- Segments
- To Dos
- Plays
- Quick access to meeting notes.
- Would like integration with Outlook tasks.
- The ability to "pin" the sidebar open would be nice.
Like most SaaS companies we struggled to consolidate all our customer data to create a full picture of customer sentiment, stickiness, and growth rates. We use several services (Hubspot, Zendesk, Intercom, our app, TeamWork, etc.) that contained customer data including the full customer lifecycle. We selected CZ to help us aggregate all our services, automate the customer facing onboarding flow, track usage, provide tooltips and guides, and collect customer feedback into a single platform.
- Usage tracking - we can track the journey a use takes through our app to understand which pages are the most useful and to streamline paths to make their experience better.
- Tooltips and guides - assuming you're not iframing anything, the tooltip and guides is super nice especially when launching a new feature or app. We relied on this functionality a lot, which allowed us to free up dev cycles for building apps and fixing bugs.
- Analytics - The thing that set CZ apart from other services we reviewed were the analytics they provided out of the box. Assuming you've setup your environment properly you can accurately track potential churn before it happens, track growth rates, see real time workload on staff and much more.
- Powerful segments - CZ operates on creating segments to containerize specific accounts and contacts. These segments have very powerful filtering capabilities, which enables someone to create all kinds of automations.
- Segment object types walled off - CZ doesn't let you create a segment that contains filters for both contacts AND accounts, which can create a challenge when needing to find contacts by specific parent or child account attributes. For example, if you want to get a list of all contacts who belong to accounts with more than $50k annual revenue, it's not possible. Real bummer.
- No segment filter for child accounts - CZ uses a parent --> child relationship when you have accounts which have sub accounts. However the filtering in CZ segments doesn't allow you to filter by objects that are a parent or a child or objects that exist in a parent or child.
- No contact deduplication - If a user exists in a parent account (Hubspot for example) and a child account (the sub account from your app), that user will exist twice in your CZ environment with different contact IDs. They are not related in anyway and you cannot remove them unless they are removed from the source. CZ has a good reason for doing this, but it creates a ton of work to filter out contacts to avoid duplicates. Now if CZ segments had a in child account = yes/no filter option, then it wouldn't be such a big deal.

Best of Breed Customer Success Platform
We only recently completed our onboarding journey with ChurnZero, so we're still implementing the platform for the team. Though, we knew going into this journey exactly what we were looking to address with our company's first customer success platform. The primary business opportunities were in scaling our CSM team's ability to manage more accounts, improving our onboarding journey, and gaining a better idea of our customers' health through a dynamic customer health score (or ChurnScore).
- Onboarding Experience - I'm paired with my CSM and a Technical Solutions Engineer right from the start. We meet constantly and they help drive adoption for both myself as well as my CSM team.
- UI/UX - The user experience for the CSM is very straightforward and user-friendly. Having an easy-to-use platform means it's easier for me as the ops manager to drive the adoption of new campaigns within ChurnZero for my team.
- Segments - The bedrock of ChurnZero. The building of segments and their use within the platform makes targeting reports, plays, journeys, alerts, dashboards, you name it - so incredibly easy to do. It's also something our CSMs can be empowered to build themselves in private views, allowing me to no longer be a blocker on asks from my team.
- Backend Visibility - Many of the integrations ChurnZero uses (CRM, Support, Atlassian, etc) only have very basic administration, to make any changes requires reaching out to their support team. (Though, their support team is extremely quick at making these changes so it hasn't been an issue at all for me). As a power user though, I miss having total and complete control over how a platform communicates with my other tools/databases.
- I was a fan of Gainsight's Success Snapshot feature. ChurnZero doesn't have this functionality today, though they do have things like Custom Dashboards which can be shared that could be a possible segue for me until I find a replacement for automated QBRs for the team.
- Customer Facing Product Roadmap - I know feature requests are collected by our CSM, but it'd be great to have visibility into what is in the near term as well as an active voice in what's being considered. I'm a fan of being able to see what other customers are asking for and being able to upvote or add comments.

ChurnZero makes my Account Manager life so much easier!
I use ChurnZero to manage my ~30 accounts. It helps me streamline tasks, quickly identify how each account is performing, log meeting activities, and where I should focus my time. I also enjoy being able to start journeys for my accounts, (for example an onboarding journey) that walks me through the onboarding steps as well as the ability to mass communicate to my accounts. I love ChurnZero because it helps keep me organized and on top of my accounts!
- ChurnZero will help you stay organized with all of your accounts and help reduce account churn
- ChurnZero will help you mass communicate to your accounts quickly and efficiently.
- You can see what activity your accounts are doing (for us site creation) as well as how many meetings we've had, and the emails we have sent to them.
- My manager can also check how my accounts are performing without asking me, which is a nice too!
- I would like the Important Account Notes section to be scrollable, instead of expandable.
- The ability to mass change the due date for tasks would be nice.
- Muting alerts instead of having to exit them would be nice too.

It does help reducing my Churns to a Zero
I use it to keep track of my customers and their usage. It helps me in keeping a track of customer support tickets, unpaid invoices, and other metrics.
- Organise accounts
- Help with useful insights
- Tags against each account
- The platform lags a lot sometimes
- Regular sign outs are troublesome
- Auto account reshuffling is hindering with ownership
- Email composition is not friendly
ChurnZero helps consolidate all our customer data and helps implement impactful customer success strategies.
- Customer outreach
- Automation
- Consolidation of data
- More work with customer data
- Better UX
- Better integrations
We use ChurnZero in our organization to overcome several post-sales hurdles for our customers who belong to different industries/verticals. We mainly use it to improve our customers' onboarding experience, drive user/product adoption to ultimately offer a better customer experience, and increase our customer growth through renewal and expansions to ultimately fight churn and maintain our customer base.
- Data segmentation
- Automation
- Integration
- Reporting
- User interface

CS Automation Software You and Your Team Will Enjoy!
We use ChurnZero largely to accurately track our customers and where they are in the onboarding journey as well as automate customer experience. We wanted a tool that could display the metrics we need for reporting AND scale our customer success department without scaling headcount.
- CS automation
- Customer journey tracking
- Integrations with key tools
- Customer reporting
- Visually representing a customer journey. Not just the Journey, but showing how plays and segments interact with that journey so we can see the entire picture all at once. (Think: miro board)
- There is some lacking functionality in the automation features including logic and triggering an action before a meeting is going to take place
- I'd like to be able to customize everything. Some fields and set up are not customizable which is frustrating because not all pre-set fields are relevant to our use case.
