For any user or team who has to work with a lot of accounts ChurnZero is invaluable. I personally have a few hundred tech touch accounts that without ChurnZero, would be unmanageable. We use it as new users become customers, to send information about updates, reach out for health checks and set up review calls, and to get ahead of upcoming renewals.

ChurnZero is a no brainer if you care about churn!

If you are wondering exactly how customers are using your product, this tool is invaluable. Being able to see exactly what a customer was looking at before I jump on a call with them helps me show up better prepared for our call together.

If you are a SaaS business with a high volume of customers, having ChurnZero is a must. If you have a subscription based business and a customer success or account management function in your company, I would highly recommend ChurnZero.

We need more integration.

Some integration needs better; in Brazil, we use a lot of Whatsapp and other apps on mobile, and for this, if we can send the surveys for these apps, the indicator probably would be better, and after this, we will control our better customers. I think the system it's a little complicated.

Suited if you are a scale up and simply need to be able to stay on top of more customers at the same time. Also great for scaled CS programs. Its also good if you have a more evolved tech stack because the number of integrations that ChurnZero has with other applications is quite big. If there is nothing you can use, you can still use Webhooks, that can be connected to a lot of other services.

Game changer for any CSM

This is appropriate for CSMs that have a large BoB to manage and need to track the health of the portfolio. Also suitable for companies that would like to scale their contact with customers, using the Playbooks. It isn't so appropriate for those that have a small portfolio, as this can be done in other software.

ChurnZero is a great scalable solution for a growing company who demands more robust reporting and more proactive communications and playbooks build out. The solution is cost preventative compared to some of the much more pricier solutions on the market such as Gainsight which is an industry leading solutions. The team has done a great job training us and getting us to full speed, and our management team has equally done a good job rolling out and training us on the new processes. Flexibility is a strong strength here, as it is quite endless the number of dimensions that you can track and measure customer activity, our use cases are a bit more specific to fintech companies, which I know they work some of our competitors. Lastly, they are startup company who is more nimble and easier to influence their product roadmap and make an impact.

Powerful CSM tool.

Churn Zero has been really great at helping us get consistent with our messaging by running please and putting our clients into journeys. Specifically, we have built out our onboarding journey for our clients where they are triggered to enter the journey, and the CS rep can focus on making more discovery and connecting with the client and less of the administrative work of making sure that they're getting all of the resources and checking usage.

When the tasks are piling up, ChurnZero can help keep them organized in a logical, easy, and straightforward manner

ChurnZero is great for when you have clients that need to go through repeatable processes, or when you need to monitor their usage and tee up plays or emails based on their usage. What I find particularly helpful is the history section, where you can see everyone's interaction with the client (emails, meetings, notes, etc.)

Our Customer success teams leverage ChurnZero to monitor customer health, automate communication, and intervene at critical points. For instance, in software companies, it's beneficial for ensuring users are adopting new features and finding value. We find it less valuable in other departments as it becomes less relevant. We are able to see a high level view of customer health earlier on which helps us find out reasons for low usage.

Fantastic product, fantastic support!

If your CS team is bogged down with manual tasks and emails, ChurnZero is fantastic. We reduced manual email check-in tasks by 75% in the first year. Its been quite remarkable. If you are looking for a great way to track the health of your customers or your book of business, ChurnZeros the way to go.

ChurnZero is a robust and thorough platform that is well suited for B2B SaaS companies. It truly gives you a better insight to your clients, increases efficiencies for your Customer Success team, and allows your organization to be proactive with your customers. Companies who aren't the typical "SaaS" product may find that some of the features aren't incredibly relevant (though I think that would be the case with any CS software) and their academy can be difficult to navigate at times. Overall, they have a wonderful and supportive team of Customer Success Managers who are invested in the success of their clients and it shows.

From our initial deployment of ChurnZero, we have not had any issues using the service. As our business requirements changed, ChurnZero is able to scale and improve the way we work and manage our customer's lifecycle with DTEN. We're still figuring out how best to integrate ChurnZero into our suite of backend systems and develop data analytics specific to our needs.

If your platform does not have built in reporting or visibility on usage, ChurnZero is a must! It will provide all of the tools needed to support your customers and reduce churn. Automated onboarding and check in emails make life easy for CSM's and give them a clear picture of where every client is in their onboading journey.

Our CZ instance is great to get a holistic view of the account - product usage, messages, tickets, health, renewals, etc. There are some great features like the churn score that pull data together to create the customer churn score, which identifies district that are healthy, neutral, or unhealthy. This information allows my team to focus on accounts that need the most help, rather than focusing on when the next renewal is. We're using the system to pull ALL of our data to gather to make informed data driven decisions.

We aren't using CZ for marketing. We may use the system for up-sell and cross-sell, but its not suited for cold-calls and generating new business (at least for us).

For basic usage by CSMs, like ChurnScore for prediction of churn, ChurnZero is well suited and easy to use. For customer success organizations that have an operations team (or person) the functions available to the ops person are limited because they don't "own" accounts. ChurnZero is not as well suited for this situation but seems to making strides toward this.

I think ChurnZero could really help any org that's trying to create a more standardized approach to managing clients and forecasting revenue for revenue retention and expansion. I have used it at an org that has a website that provides data to track client satisfaction and use. I'm not using at an org that doesn't have any web use traffic and we've been able to develop strong health data. It's all about what you put into it and how you hold your team accountable for using it.
