Client Success is a versatile software solution that aids organizations in managing client relationships and tracking customer activities. With its user-friendly interface and robust features, users rely on Client Success to streamline their customer success efforts, track key performance indicators, and measure account success. This platform has been praised for helping teams become more proactive in servicing customers and providing a holistic picture of account health. By leveraging Client Success, multiple teams, including customer success, product, and sales teams, can have a single snapshot of accounts, enabling them to stay organized and prioritize work effectively.

One of the prominent use cases of Client Success is solving the problem of tracking correspondence, engagement, and subscriptions in a systematic way. Users appreciate how this software centralizes critical client information and actions, providing an up-to-date snapshot of account status. This not only helps maintain accountability but also systematizes processes and allows teams to foresee any risks impacting the network's membership. Moreover, Client Success increases productivity through email automation, alerts/actions, and engagement, making it an invaluable training tool for new hires.

Another key use case of Client Success revolves around effective customer management. Users rely on this software to manage and stay on top of client interactions, concerns, and contract details. The platform streamlines account management tactics by tracking customer interactions and providing valuable insights through data analysis. By eliminating manual tracking and offering visibility into customer engagement and success initiatives, Client Success empowers teams to follow up with customers more efficiently while staying organized in their outreach efforts.

Furthermore, Client Success assists in identifying healthy clients based on various health metrics such as contract size, perceived happiness, key contacts, and renewal dates. This provides senior management with valuable assistance in decision-making processes related to customer retention strategies. Additionally, users have found that the software keeps customer success teams focused and customers engaged with the product.

While some users have reported integration issues with Salesforce that led them to stop using Client Success, overall, the experience has been positive. The software effectively captures the health of customers, reduces churn, and drives adoption and engagement. With its reasonable pricing, easy implementation, and smooth onboarding process, Client Success proves to be a valuable asset for organizations seeking to enhance their client relationships and optimize customer success efforts.

Simple and Easy-to-Use Interface: Many users have found the user interface of Client Success to be simple and easy to use, with a friendly design that was quickly learned. This has been appreciated by several reviewers who mentioned how they were able to navigate the platform without much difficulty.

Effective Customer Success Support: Several users have had positive experiences working with the customer success and support teams of Client Success. They have appreciated the prompt response of the customer service team in addressing any questions or challenges faced during the onboarding process. This has helped users feel supported and confident in their use of the software.

Comprehensive Solution for Client Management: Users have praised Client Success for providing a comprehensive solution for managing clients. The platform offers features such as email automation, pulse collection, automated emails and rules, and a Success Score feature that helps grade customers based on custom fields and usage data. These functionalities have allowed users to easily track client progress, prevent churn, and identify upsell opportunities all within one convenient dashboard.

Limitations on Integrations: Some users have mentioned limitations with regard to integrations in ClientSuccess. One specific integration that users have pointed out as missing is their support channel, Groove. This limitation can be a drawback for those who heavily rely on Groove for customer support management and would like it seamlessly integrated into ClientSuccess.

Rigid Reporting in Client Success: Reviewers express frustration with the reporting functionality in Client Success. While they acknowledge that it is robust, they find it fairly rigid and lacking in flexibility. Users are unable to fully customize reports based on certain custom variables, which limits their ability to extract specific insights and metrics from the system.

Lack of Forecasting Report: Several users have noted that there is no client forecasting report available in ClientSuccess. This absence makes generating board-facing reports more manual and time-consuming. Users would prefer a built-in feature that allows them to easily analyze and present client forecasts within the platform.

Users commonly recommend the following when using Clientsuccess:

  • Use it as the main information hub on clients and to track and manage a book of clients.
  • Talk through main goals with a representative before launching and have good organization skills to keep track of contract deadlines.
  • Connect with the team at CS early and often to help influence the product.
  • Ensure smooth integrations and set up the revenue hub.
  • Have a solid understanding of your use case before implementing.
  • Adopt Clientsuccess as much as possible to get value out of the product.
  • Consider it a great CRM platform, especially for managing a low number of high-touch clients.
  • Know where your data lives and how to get it into the system.
  • Appreciate that Clientsuccess has the basics down.

ClientSuccess suited us well for email automation. This saved loads of downtime for our agents. The automated system sends information to the customer recapping and telling the customer of action items. This cuts out time that the agent would have to send that themselves. The success score was less appropriate on smaller one-off campaigns. Sometime clients will ask us to try a pilot and it was hard to integrate the success score model there.

For smaller companies, ClientSuccess is an excellent tool at a reasonable price to help maintain and manage client relationships and progress. For larger companies, if it doesn't seamlessly integrate with other systems, it can be challenging to use as a stand-alone product. It was helpful as we developed the foundation of our customer experience team.

This platform is extremely useful in creating customer playbooks and allowing our team to scale! Before we were using manually updated excel documents that lived all across our company's drive folder. By centralizing client-specific details the entire company can be on the same page. This is also great at creating a client health score that is updated each morning when I log in to see how our clients are doing and help identify areas that need my attention before it's too late.

ClientSuccess has the best customer success/support I've ever come across. They are extremely attentive about our success and are willing to help with anything I need help with Sam Feil is exceptional at his job ad really takes his time to make sure you are successfully using the product. It is well suited as a CRM for Customer Success Roles- I wouldn't use it as the main CRM for everyone in the company because it's specific to the role of a CSM, not a sales rep.

I think this is a great tool for any organization that reoccurring revenue - ie. Memberships, Networks etc. If you have a number of one-off contracts, it may not be the best suited for your need but, you could still make do. It's also great for organizations who have clear consistent processes in place once you bring on a new account.

Well suited for:
  • Onboarding management.
  • Team management for directors.
  • KPI setting and evaluation.
  • The setting of key steps needed to be performed in each stage of the customer lifecycle.
  • Success evaluation of accounts.
  • Measurement of activities for each customer.
  • Reporting.

It is extremely well suited for a company like ours where each Customer Success Manager manages a lot of different customers and even has the added difficulty of some workers working remotely. It keeps us on track and in sync for how we handle each phase of the customer journey.

ClientSuccess is great for teams who need to standardize processes and need a high-level view of how a customer is performing, where they are in the lifecycle, and how a customer should be serviced. It's suitable for teams and leaders who want all access to all information.

Where it is less appropriate is for larger account management where you may have many business units under one larger account umbrella.

Great for accounts that go through a sales and then onboarding cycle. The best feature is how the account can be automatically updated to start the next phase of your engagement. It's also great for clients that are on a subscription basis. I really like that you can also denote who are "key contacts" so each team member knows who to reach out to.

Client Success is well suited to both growing and established companies who know what they want and need to track for their clients. With the broad ability to support numerous accounts, have multiple users, and its custom success cycles to map a clients progress, it would be a great solution for any Client Success team.

I think that teams that are unaware of what they need to track wouldn't find Client Success as useful, and organizations that require a large number of custom client descriptions and variables would find certain limitations a barrier to successfully using this tool.

For most customer success teams I think they can find value in ClientSuccess. ClientSuccess is continually upgrading and will get better over time. However, there was a lot of functionality that I never used, but I could see the value in what they were providing and the direction they are headed.

We have had success tracking many customers at a high-level and using that tracking for resource allocation. We are not using it to track all communications with our customers, so I cannot speak to that functionality. We are using the integration to Salesforce and JIRA, but we have just recently implemented so I do not have much experience with it.

I think the more clients you have, the more useful CS can be as a tool to track and utilize its project management capabilities. It's probably less useful if you don't have many clients as the manual process to input some of the essential information may be tedious. In terms of collaborating across Sales and CX, I think CS is useful in getting these groups on the same page and setting goals you can track to together as well as keeping in mind critical contract data.

ClientSuccess is perfect for the growing small-to-medium business like ours. It's simple and easy enough to quickly implement as a starter solution, but also robust enough to support multiple Customer Success teams. It may fall a bit short in terms of an enterprise organization in scale, customization, and flexibility. However, I can see enterprise organizations using different instances of ClientSuccess, perhaps for different departments or sections, if those organizations didn't need overarching analytics.

Perfect for any growing business that is in need of a way to track customer engagement, retention, upsell opportunities, customer satisfaction, and where your PMs need to focus more attention. If this isn't you, you're either already using ClientSuccess, or you're on a sinking ship. This tool will bring light to cracks in your process that you didn't even know were there. You'll begin to see these cracks within a couple of quarters after setting it up.
