  • Automating parts of customer experience.
  • Identifying cancelation risks.
  • Identifying client adoption of product.
  • Custom Date range for the usage panel on a Customer Profile.
  • Custom Links for linking to different internal systems that there may not be a direct integration for.
  • Connecting to a VoIP system like Ring Central would be cool, so I don't have to always go into my CRM to make client calls but it's definitely a "nice to have" and not critical.

  • Easy NPS flows
  • Great "Plays" or communication and internal notification cadences
  • The UI and UX can use improvement - mainly the Email editor is clunky and tough to format
  • When sync issues occur from ChurnZero to Salesforce, it's tricky understanding the full impact and details

  • Usage tracking - we can track the journey a use takes through our app to understand which pages are the most useful and to streamline paths to make their experience better.
  • Tooltips and guides - assuming you're not iframing anything, the tooltip and guides is super nice especially when launching a new feature or app. We relied on this functionality a lot, which allowed us to free up dev cycles for building apps and fixing bugs.
  • Analytics - The thing that set CZ apart from other services we reviewed were the analytics they provided out of the box. Assuming you've setup your environment properly you can accurately track potential churn before it happens, track growth rates, see real time workload on staff and much more.
  • Powerful segments - CZ operates on creating segments to containerize specific accounts and contacts. These segments have very powerful filtering capabilities, which enables someone to create all kinds of automations.
  • Segment object types walled off - CZ doesn't let you create a segment that contains filters for both contacts AND accounts, which can create a challenge when needing to find contacts by specific parent or child account attributes. For example, if you want to get a list of all contacts who belong to accounts with more than $50k annual revenue, it's not possible. Real bummer.
  • No segment filter for child accounts - CZ uses a parent --> child relationship when you have accounts which have sub accounts. However the filtering in CZ segments doesn't allow you to filter by objects that are a parent or a child or objects that exist in a parent or child.
  • No contact deduplication - If a user exists in a parent account (Hubspot for example) and a child account (the sub account from your app), that user will exist twice in your CZ environment with different contact IDs. They are not related in anyway and you cannot remove them unless they are removed from the source. CZ has a good reason for doing this, but it creates a ton of work to filter out contacts to avoid duplicates. Now if CZ segments had a in child account = yes/no filter option, then it wouldn't be such a big deal.

  • Onboarding Experience - I'm paired with my CSM and a Technical Solutions Engineer right from the start. We meet constantly and they help drive adoption for both myself as well as my CSM team.
  • UI/UX - The user experience for the CSM is very straightforward and user-friendly. Having an easy-to-use platform means it's easier for me as the ops manager to drive the adoption of new campaigns within ChurnZero for my team.
  • Segments - The bedrock of ChurnZero. The building of segments and their use within the platform makes targeting reports, plays, journeys, alerts, dashboards, you name it - so incredibly easy to do. It's also something our CSMs can be empowered to build themselves in private views, allowing me to no longer be a blocker on asks from my team.
  • Backend Visibility - Many of the integrations ChurnZero uses (CRM, Support, Atlassian, etc) only have very basic administration, to make any changes requires reaching out to their support team. (Though, their support team is extremely quick at making these changes so it hasn't been an issue at all for me). As a power user though, I miss having total and complete control over how a platform communicates with my other tools/databases.
  • I was a fan of Gainsight's Success Snapshot feature. ChurnZero doesn't have this functionality today, though they do have things like Custom Dashboards which can be shared that could be a possible segue for me until I find a replacement for automated QBRs for the team.
  • Customer Facing Product Roadmap - I know feature requests are collected by our CSM, but it'd be great to have visibility into what is in the near term as well as an active voice in what's being considered. I'm a fan of being able to see what other customers are asking for and being able to upvote or add comments.

  • ChurnZero will help you stay organized with all of your accounts and help reduce account churn
  • ChurnZero will help you mass communicate to your accounts quickly and efficiently.
  • You can see what activity your accounts are doing (for us site creation) as well as how many meetings we've had, and the emails we have sent to them.
  • My manager can also check how my accounts are performing without asking me, which is a nice too!
  • I would like the Important Account Notes section to be scrollable, instead of expandable.
  • The ability to mass change the due date for tasks would be nice.
  • Muting alerts instead of having to exit them would be nice too.

  • CS automation
  • Customer journey tracking
  • Integrations with key tools
  • Customer reporting
  • Visually representing a customer journey. Not just the Journey, but showing how plays and segments interact with that journey so we can see the entire picture all at once. (Think: miro board)
  • There is some lacking functionality in the automation features including logic and triggering an action before a meeting is going to take place
  • I'd like to be able to customize everything. Some fields and set up are not customizable which is frustrating because not all pre-set fields are relevant to our use case.
