  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
