Reviews
(51-75 of 226)Data-driven churn fighting!
- Churn scores, and the ability to have several customized algorithms of score calculations, depending on factors such as the type or size of the client. This allows for accurate client health measurement using data points such as usage, communications, and journeys.
- The client database can be queried and filtered using the excellent Segments feature, which has the power to consolidate and filter the data you have, to answer real-world business questions.
- The view of all the data points consolidated in the churn score algorithm allows us to monitor the health of our clients accurately and in a timely manner.
- The Journeys feature is a great concept, but in reality, it is not very flexible compared to a proper project management tool. I heard this is being improved, but as of today, it’s not quite there.
A must-have tool for CSM's and Account Management Teams!
- Segmenting Customers for Individual Reachouts.
- Ability to filter segmentation by pretty much any usage data/metrics/health score.
- Ability to set up campaigns or 'plays' to automate reachouts and tasks.
- Additional customization options for how data is displayed inside account details page.
- Ability to duplicate segments.
Has potential but needs some improvements
- Tracks upcoming renewals
- Segments customers based on flexible critera
- Provides a process to guide clients through a journey
- Getting information out to the key stake holders in the company in the form of reporting
- Needs to be easier to setup and configure
- Dashboards are not very flexible
Not very happy, haven't achieved ROI
- Allows the user to automate communications based on client behavior
- In-App messaging
- From my experience, the product is not easy to use, even with great minds working, we haven't launched in almost a year.
- For a Churn software I feel it does not easilly track renewal percentages, this baffles me
- They do not provide real world working examples that we can model our implementation after, no proof it actually works or recommendations on how to set it up, just theory.
- In my opinion, it doesn't seem like they even use the product themselves, otherwise we should as a client feel like its working
I would not invest in ChurnZero again. Marketing is good, onboarding and support are 1 out of 10.
- I don't know yet. After a year we have not been able to implement due to support from CZ. they agree it is their support issue but have not improved the process in any significant way.
- Lack of onboarding support.
- Product is so difficult they themselves do not use it to onboard a client. KEY RED FLAG
- They don't have one client that will be used as a reference. Not one and we have asked them repeatedly.
- No solutions architects or professional services. Their marketing is good. But the product does not work.
Customer Health Meets Proactive Data
- Integration with Pendo
- Task automation
- Visibility of customer data
- Customer Health Scores
- Dashboards
- Email customizability with Plays/In-app
ChurnZero is great for not letting accounts slip through the cracks!
- Automated tasks based on events
- Account Health overview
- Integration with multiple platforms
- Better training about tools available - I feel I could be using so much more but don’t know how
Excited about results & impact
- Client Management
- Proactive Outreach
- Client Health
- The sync & configuration could be smoother
- More ways to track user created data points over time (i.e. sentiment)
- More dynamic date range filters
ChurnZero - Happy client making clients happy!
The other incredibly helpful thing ChurnZero does is it allows us to set up and run a variety of plays/actions that go out both externally and internally. We use this function to ensure we don't 'forget' to connect with clients for too long and to make sure we are given quick insights as to what is or may be going on. This has been helpful!
- Snapshot on Client Usage
- Run plays to connect with Clients
- Run internal plays to ensure nothing get left behind
- More Dynamic Flexibility for the ChurnScore
- Integrate smoothly with our other 'Tools'/platforms
- It would be cool if CZ could determine if someone is active on platform vs just has it open in a 'background' tab
The ability to have emails/outreach automatically go out is also very helpful. We were able to set up some plays to ensure nothing slips through the cracks and since starting those plays nothing has!
Great Product!
- Insight
- Details
- Outreach
- complexity
- training
I have a hard time going straight to CZ to do a lot of tasks, a stronger integration with Salesforce would be awesome.
- Create Churn scores
- Build plays for email campaigns
- Onboarding new users
- Building out Churn scores is complicated
- The ChurnZero Academy is just ok
- We have had 3 success managers in 6 months
ChurnZero in Customer Success
- Automated organization of accounts
- Filtering capabilities
- DHC platform usage tracking
- Unpredictable glitches in account profiles. For example, one of my account profiles populated 0 users, despite no one manually changing this metric from 10.
- Increase in turnaround time for updates in Salesforce. Normally takes about a full 24 hours, which can make it hard to see if my business partner has already logged something.
- More user friendly interface for filtering segments. It took me a few months to adjust to the functionality.
#1 Software for Reducing Churn!
- Tracks client engagement and usage with our product
- Tracks clients journey between teams
- Allows us to keep track of various client tasks
- Interactive 24/7 chat support functionality for all users
- Ability to delete past contacts, or mistakenly added contacts
ChurnZero is the tool every SaaS CSM needs.
- Email automation
- Task workflow
- Report building
- The terminology is a little strange. What's the difference between a journey and a play? Why are reports called segments? Can be a bit confusing at first.
- It's customizable to a point. But there are small differences between businesses that are sometimes hard to capture.
- Sending email through ChurnZero is great, but it's also hard to find the trail again in gmail.
Overall happy with the product
- Integration
- data points capturing
- automation
- integration
- more customization
- reporting
Review of ChurnZero as a professional in a supporting role outside of a customer success team.
- Bring visibility to both details and important milestones
- Great visualization of data and the possibility to drill down to great depth if needed. So, it goes from the big picture to the needed nuances
- CZ performs great for integrations to other software tools.
- I value CZ Academy resources and the way they can bring together a group of people with the same passion and purpose for customer success.
- At first, it is difficult to get the hang of it and there are so many fields and different paths for a similar process. It takes time to strengthen the muscle memory to get really good at using it.
- Customer onboarding is easy and agile, but you always expect the most and have an extremely high bar for a brand named Churnzero, right. Mostly even the highest expectations are met.
- Sometimes in their effort at Churnzero to be proactive the use and interruption of their chat box feature can be a nuisance.
CZ is a Major Key for CSMs
- Automation
- Data Collection
- Data Analysis
- Mitigate Churn
- Outdated product design
- Tedious playbook creation
- Time to onboard
Top benefits:
-Saves time (plays, integration, automation)
-Mitigates churn risk
-Customizable-Data & visualization
ChurnZero is a must if you are in validation for CSM
- Automate your proecesses
- Complete overview of projects and customer life cycle
- Nice reporting options
- Delete accounts by myself (only possible via ChurnZero support)
- ChurnZero Knowledge base is on a low level - try to bring it more to users
- User should be able to create / edit their dashboards more to their needs
CZ is great!
- Account journeys
- Account details in a quick and easy to read format
- Customer segments
- Alerts and notifications
- Email features need to be easier to configuration
- Make email more like gmail
- Email features
Churn won't be a problem with ChurnZero
- Notifying you of customers "in the red" according to your filters
- Great segmentation and reporting
- Automated sequences, plays, notifications
- Tracking for different users of the account
- The "save" button could be better placed or more clear in certain places
- The UI is slightly dated looking but there is a lot of information they need to provide so it's as clear as it could be
- Cloning certain automations more easily
Great platform for driving customer engagement!
- ChurnZero provides the ability to see the high-level health of a customer by aggregating data across support, product adoption, engagement with CS, etc.
- ChurnZero holds all customer data allowing our team to leverage one central location to see everything they need to know about the customer ahead of interactions.
- ChurnZero is able to leverage all of the data points listed above to drive automation. This creates consistent and seamless customer interaction cadences.
- The UI is a little outdated, although it is still intuitive to use.
Honest review from a newer CSM
- ChurnScores are customizable variables that provide a quick evaluation of the overall health of an account/customer
- Exporting data is quick and easy and provides value for book of business reviews
- ChurnZero Plays is an amazing tool for proactive outreach with great customization features
- Being able to integrate our software as well as Salesforce with ChurnZero has been essential
- The ability to create Tasks and Log Activities on an account level provides clear communication throughout our team and aids in daily outlook planning and prioritizing
- We would love to see the ability to delete contacts from accounts when the person has left the company.
- I would love additional customization features when creating Plays, being able to stylize them even further to be eye-catching and pleasing.
- We have some customers who are active seasonally. We run into issues with the Usage Frequency field for these customers as sometimes they are marked as inactive. It would be cool if there was an on/off switch to mark an account Seasonal so this is taken into account for their usage. Or if the algorithm was able to check historical usage and identify the account as seasonal on its own.
ChrunZero is great for CSM's!
- 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.
- 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
- 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
