  • ChurnScores (Health Scores in ChurnZero) are highly customizable.
  • Their NPS tools are easy to deploy and manage, keeping a finger on the pulse of the customer.
  • They have a great team of individuals that make us feel take care of, and push us to learn.
  • Segmentation is extremely powerful and easy to use.
  • We love the Daily digest!
  • Early in our time, it would have been useful to have had a consultant set up the application, but the software has grown so much since then.
  • Some minor limitations in sorting on segments. (we have work arounds though).

  • Captures events in our app.
  • Reminds CSMs of Tasks that may need to be taken for an account or contact.
  • Allows the sending of personalized emails and in-app messages at scale.
  • Enables the viewing of accounts/contacts in a highly-configurable manner via Segments.
  • It does take a lot of configuration, but that is only because of how powerful it is, and it is totally worth the time spent to do it and maintain it.

  • Great CSM partnership with easy-to-schedule training.
  • The system is very easy to implement but does take some time to configure and customize to your liking.
  • Integrations are a strong suit for the system, as it has the ability to integrate with several existing systems.
  • Too much functionality; the system is very robust and requires some time and playing around to get used to.
  • We would love to see user data on a more granular level, but this is a feature that we have not enabled yet.
  • We took a long time to implement ChurnZero, but this was a failure on our organization, not on ChurnZero's side.
  • Our first CSM was okay, but not the greatest, he was replaced before we went live with our new CSM, Chase, who is fantastic!

  • Churn Scores- Being able to build in whatever factors and weight them has been great.
  • Insightful reporting- surfacing reporting into end sites for the team to action on has been very helpful.
  • Native integrations- turn zero integrated with so much of our software it was fast to set up.
  • Churn zero is not the most intuitive UI. It has taken quite a bit to train the team to consistently use it.
  • There is a lot of setup and training to make happen before the team starts to see value.

  • Client Segmentation: We use ChurnZero to segment our clients into different categories based on their usage, feedback, and demographics. This segmentation helps us tailor our communication and support strategies for different client groups, ensuring a personalized experience.
  • Customer Health Monitoring: ChurnZero helps us monitor the health of our clients' accounts. By analyzing user engagement, feature usage, and support ticket data, we can identify clients who might be at risk of churning.
  • Upselling and Cross-selling: ChurnZero helps us identify opportunities for upselling or cross-selling based on clients’ usage patterns. For example, if a client frequently uses a specific feature, we can suggest upgrading to a higher-tier plan that offers additional functionalities, thereby increasing our revenue.
  • Some users find the initial setup and configuration process complex. Simplifying the user interface and providing more intuitive onboarding processes could enhance the user experience, especially for new users or smaller businesses with limited resources for extensive training.

  • Automated onboarding and check ins with a personal touch. The emails come from their CSM, but their CSM doesn't have to manually send them.
  • ChurnZero alerts our CSMs when key things come up with our customers so we can act on them quickly
  • Flexible segmentation of customers allows for endless opportunities to target specific segments of customers with specific communications
  • Health scoring allows us to keep a pulse on the health of our customers and notify us when something is off.
  • Customer service is second to none! Fantastic support, implementation and ongoing account management
  • The UI can be a bit clunky in some areas. They are regularly releasing new features and enhancements to the product that are slowly making things more smooth and streamlined

  • Giving us an accurate understand of product usage by our clients
  • Ability to be proactive with our clients based on their engagement
  • Better communicate with our clients at the right time
  • The system is so robust that sometimes it can be hard to navigate or find the information I am looking for
  • The "academy" is less helpful than I hoped, I find better / more accurate answers when I reach out to our CSM directly
  • The support team is generally responsive but can sometimes be slow or fall off

  • Our Customer Success Manager has been there guiding us through every step from data integration to journey creation.
  • IT support is very helpful and responds quickly to questions or issues we have.
  • Professional services are doing a great job of automating our journey and making sure we did not miss important steps to get the results we are looking for.
  • At this time only one CRM integration is allowed, Salesforce or D365 or others. However, you can use APIs to send data from more than one system so you can still bring in that data.

  • ChurnZero has excellent customer success! They worked very hard to ensure a successful implementation and launch.
  • The CZ platform gives a detailed view of customer usage. We know exactly how clients are using our platform which allows us to provide excellent customer success services. This allows helps our product team understand the needs of clients and the success of new features.
  • We are able to create plays based on usage which provides a customized and personal experience for each user. CZ makes it possible to give our clients what they need when they need it.
  • Implementation is a serious time commitment. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it.
  • Segmentation can be complicated (this is a pro and a con). Everything is customizable, but building segments can be tedious.
  • Minor annoyances in software navigation have been improved greatly over the last few months!

  • Informs data driven decisions
  • AI generates messaging and summaries to save time
  • Dashboards to get a deep and high level understanding of customer health
  • Playbooks to outline next steps for specific scenarios
  • Journeys to track the life cycle of an account
  • When composing an email out of segments, the ability to save it as a draft to review later would be awesome, instead of needing to set up a Play
  • In the admin section, I love that we can have a color palate - but we'd like the color palete to be applied in other areas so CZ has more of our companies branding
  • The content templates can be hard to stylize if you don't know html
  • Add the Merge Fields functionality to tasks, especially tasks made by playbooks

  • Allows multiple ChurnScores that enable CSMs to view churn risk based on these varying factors
  • Automate creation of tasks using segments
  • Simplifies management of daily tasks
  • More clarity around our usage (event) data - it can be difficult to understand all the terminology ChurnZero uses
  • Add more functionality for use cases of Operations teams - currently focused mainly on CSM usage
  • Ability to set defaults when viewing dashboards and command center - currently all choices reset

  • Plays: Allows you to bulk send emails out to clients based on easy to make segments. Also, allows us to track success of a play. Previously, we had to work with our marketing team to send out any emails and it was an extremely bulky process that took far too long for the payout.
  • Segments: Better than any other CRM reporting functionality. Allows us to more accurately look at portions of our clients based on different factors that are extremely easy to use.
  • Health Scores: The customization allows us to really play around with different health scores as we figure out what good health across clients and services really look like.
  • Transparency: Allows me as a manager to see a much better comprehensive look at my team's performance.
  • Turnaround time: Sometimes my emails can go unanswered for a week or so and it requires us to follow-up. However, when we've needed Support, their support team is extremely responsive.
