I would recommend ChurnZero to literally anyone that could benefit from user insights and client retention processes. Sure there are some small things I would tweak, but this could be said of any product since every company has slightly different needs. There are no unicorns that do attrition prevention, CRMs, email clients, and VoIP phone systems all in one. But ChurnZero when used alongside a good CRM is as close as you are ever gonna get. I couldn't recommend it more, and every CSM we have worked with while using their product has been phenomenal. I also would say that their academy for training is one of the best I have ever seen and makes it super easy to get up and running on your own time. They have great resources for this if it's hard for you to get time on the calendar with their people for onboarding. But I would still recommend talking to them if you can because it's always a pleasure.

It is well suited for any CS team looking to better operationalize their actions. It can benefit both high touch and low touch client use cases and is great for small to medium size teams. More data driven SaaS companies may find the implementation side different from expected or not quite fit for their needs.

ChurnZero is great for companies that have made the decision to increase the maturity of their Customer Success function. Managing a CS team with spreadsheets is just a nightmare! When CS teams start to scale, the need for a CS tool is a must, and ChurnZero fits the "just starting out" use case greatly. The mere concept of the churn score introduces a layer of sophistication to these teams. The great thing is that ChurnZero will grow/adapt as your CS function matures. ChurnZero can help create automated actions through customer journeys, you can assign automated actions to take place at different stages of the customer lifecycle. ChurnZero is also a great tool to provide CS visibility to the rest of the company. Which customers are at risk? Which customers are up for renewal? All that can easily be shared with the rest of the company using ChurnZero. I think ChurnZero is less appropriate for a company that even though has a CS function, is not willing to put in the time or the work to get ChurnZero to work for them! Meaning, if a company hasn't decided to increase the maturity of the CS function, then they are not ready!

ChurnZero is a fantastic tool that's tailor-made for Customer Success teams, but it's fairly narrowly targeted at that niche. It's optimized for post-sales customer account management and that alone. ChurnZero is especially valuable for managing larger books of business at scale and less optimal for smaller, higher-touch BoBs for which automation is less critical.

This is a truly impressive platform and tool for any business. Sure, it requires some effort and time to set up. However, ChurnZero has a team of dedicated and knowledgeable associates that will help you every step of the way. You really need to treat them like an extension of your own team, but the effort to get everything set up and functional is well worth it. Highly recommended.

Anytime I learn that someone in my organization isn't using ChurnZero, I do everything I can to quickly get them up to speed on how to use the product. I use ChurnZero daily, and I can't imagine being in my current role without utilizing it. My workload is heavy and ChurnZero makes it much more manageable.

For people working with customers who want to become more proactive, this is a great tool. You become more efficient at work, can manage more customers at the same time as well as you getting more creative of thing you can develop towards customers.

Scenarios that are helpful to monitor and track in ChurnZero are creating and maintaining a success plan with a customer who may not be as happy with the system or using it as much. I was able to monitor customer responses and usage and was able to pinpoint where they were having trouble.

Well suited for customer success teams that want to progress and stay on top of their game while keeping their accounts engaged and successful. We use playbooks and journeys with specific formulas to automate or trigger alerts and tasks that help us stay on track.

CZ is great for aggregating data from many sources and helping you build a more complete picture of your customer's journey in your app. You can lean on the included CSAT, NPS and other surveys to collect actional feedback from clients to help you improve your service and experience.

Where CZ struggles is when you have an app that supports multiple sub accounts and users that normally exist in more than one of those sub accounts. You end up with a bunch of duplicate contacts which requires you to have to go through and tag one contact on each account in order to avoid sending duplicate email blasts to customers.

I honestly believe that ChurnZero is one of the best customer success platforms on the market right now. It's entirely focused on being a best-of-breed platform for not just the CS Ops professional, but the CSMs who use it each and every day.

ChurnZero is well suited for me because it allows me to manage my day more efficiently, set reminders to do in the future, and continue to manage my accounts and assist them in growing. We are still working on pulling more data into our ChurnZero, so I currently need to go to other systems to look this up, which currently takes me some time.

ChurnZero is a great tool for customer/data segmentation. It is a great way to help organize your customers in specific views for when you would like to break your customer base down to segments for any upselling campaigns or renewal automation workflows. We also take advantage of their top-notch metrics and events to always be on top of the game in terms of tracking down the current status of our customers.

ChurnZero offers the most aesthetically pleasing UI and a UX that makes complex configurations and enablement achievable for admins across varying levels of expertise. As an admin, set up is a seamless experience. As a user, I have concrete functionality to enable me to be effective in my day-to-day; as well as strong visibility regarding what's happening with customers given ChurnZero's core functionality and Segments. I think there are areas where CZ (ChurnZero) could become an even better platform; data aggregation support across multiple sources for account insights and dashboard feasibility, internal email messaging via playbooks, and with more data structure flexibility.

It's a great tool, that integrates well with other tools. The one thing I struggle with is having to manage customer time and personal project time in different tools. I want to create tasks that are not client-specific but are related to my overall role and I want to track how much time is spent on them.

If you are a SaaS business looking to have all of your customer data centralized in one area, with robust segmentation, automation, and reporting, this solution is for you. It is not a ticket system. It integrates well with Salesforce and our customer data is handed off from sales in Salesforce to ChurnZero for our customer success teams.

It's reasonably easy to get started. The reporting tools are easy to use and build reports with cross app data. A single churn score is helpful for everyone to work off the same metric. Alternate churn scores are available for different looks, but it's not easy to compare alternate churn scores across customers.

I would highly recommend ChurnZero over any other AM/CSM enablement platform. It is straightforward to use, and their customer support team is fantastic! You have to invest time integrating it and fine-tuning it for your usage and team. That is the initial investment that you need to make from the beginning to set your team and clients up for success.
