  • Workflows & Playbooks - Drive Customer Success processes for Onboarding, Business Reviews, Risk Mitigation, and Renewals.
  • Targeted Emails - Send timely and relevant emails to the right customers using automatic triggers or segmented lists.
  • Dashboards - See critical metrics like Churn, Lifetime Value (LTV), product adoption, financial health or create custom views.
  • Reporting - Explore customer data and spot trends over time using a point-and-click report builder.
  • Segmentation - Create dynamic lists of accounts and users for in-depth analysis, comparison, or customer outreach.
Freshsuccess combines predictive analytics, customer intelligence, and workflow management in a unified platform. The vendor says this data-driven approach enables B2B software providers to proactively manage Customer Success and maximize customer lifetime value.

We are using Natero to keep track of our customers and make sure that we are staying ahead of any clients that will churn. It is being used by the customer success managers in our company, and we have view licenses for our sales team that is dealing with upsells in our organization.
  • Reporting and dashboards. We like they started out as a BI tool.
  • Health Scores are flexible.
  • Make set up more self-service. We are changing a lot of systems, and it was challenging to have to coordinate every item with Natero.
  • Automatically triggered emails based on certain usage.
  • Natero does an excellent job of reporting and having a lot of the data available. They don't do as well when you want to track specific metrics such as ARR. (Everything in the application is currently based in MRR)
  • Natero has done an excellent job for our smaller organization. I am not sure how it would work with a larger organization.

  • Natero has saved us a lot of time, and being able to track what is happening with our clients is extremely helpful.
  • Being able to push data back into salesforce in terms of engagements is helpful so the sales team can stay informed.
Gainsight had all of the functionality but had the price tag to match. ChurnZero and ClientSuccess were also very close, and we nearly chose one of those. We didn't love the UI of ChurnZero and ClientSuccess had the best UI by far but was lacking in some of the functionality that was important to us.

We use Natero to track the health of our clients' accounts. In addition to health tracking, Natero also provides our client support team with real-time notifications on user overages, churn, and acts as a platform for communications. Our CES team can communicate directly with clients using the email functionality. Next steps will include automating some emails based on certain triggers as well as potentially implementing the product tour feature.
  • Health score mechanism is awesome with a lot of control over granularity.
  • Support and implementation teams are superb.
  • Reporting is very robust.
  • Customizability and flexibility in integrations, metrics, and dimensions make this a highly useful platform.
  • It's a complex platform, it can be hard to find what you're looking for if you don't know where to look.
  • There have been a few features which work correctly but can be a bit confusing to get working correctly. Fortunately, the support team is so on it, we get an answer within an hour.
  • I would have liked Natero to have a mechanism in place to nudge users of the platform to use it. This would help with getting adoption on our end. While the onboarding documentation was great, a more hands-on approach to getting users to adopt and use the platform would have helped us get up to speed earlier. It took us nearly 9 months to really start using the system which is partially due to the complexity of the integration process and partially due to the difficulty of switching over CES processes into Natero.
Any SaaS company that needs to measure and track the health of client and user accounts will find the data provided by Natero extremely useful. If you have a support team that is tracking tickets, to-do-lists, etc. across different platforms, you'll be happy to know that you can consolidate most of those existing workflows into Natero, making this a single platform for your CES team to keep things running smoothly.

  • Once you have some data behind you, you can get a real-time health score of your accounts, giving you great insights into which accounts need a little extra TLC and which ones are your champion users.
  • Consolidation of all CES software and processes into a single platform to save time and provide additional efficiencies.
  • Automation of playbooks, emails, and workflows save the support team tons of time and prevents things from falling in the cracks. We've set up quarterly reminders to follow-up with accounts which no longer needs to be manually set up.
We initially looked at Gainsight, Amity, and another which I can't remember the name of. Only Natero and Amity were within a reasonable price range. We selected Natero because the platform was significantly more polished, the reporting seemed significantly stronger in Natero, and during the sales process Natero did a better job of showing us how the functionality would work, whereas our calls with Amity were frequently filled with "it doesn't work because this is a demo account" which was a bit of a red flag.

We utilize Natero in the customer success department in for CSMs to see the health of their accounts and provide status updates to leadership and CSMs set up accounts, which are assigned in SFDC, to link to relevant documentation and create project plans. We also leverage the charting that's available for enhancing business reviews for customers.
  • Love the accounts view to see all my accounts, their health and some helpful stats!
  • The charting is relevant and detailed for customers to understand their usage of our product. The look and feel is very clean and easy to understand.
  • In the account, you can link to other documentation, which is great!
  • Workflows are easy to set up, however, there is not a good visual, like a Gantt chart. This would help everyone see the status more clearly.
  • When you go into an account, it's hard to go back to the page you were on previously.
  • My dashboard does not provide particularly helpful information.
  • SFDC cannot be updated via Natero. So I have to make updates in multiple places. This is the biggest gripe I have with Natero.
Natero is great for businesses that need to view the health and status of 5-20 accounts. You can certainly see more, however, it's paginated, which makes it more cumbersome. And harder to see in a snapshot. Natero is not as well suited for businesses that need to view the health of over 20 accounts. Nor if they have a heavy focus on project management and visuals for workflows.

  • Account health is easy for leadership to review and get details on, without having to reach out to each CSM.
  • Natero leaves a lot to be desired from a project management perspective. It's difficult to know where a customer stands and can feel overwhelming to set up a new customer.
  • Customer usage data is very helpful to provide in Business Reviews to customers. Charts are clear and easy to understand!
I was not a part of the Natero selection group. In the past, I've used more project management focused tools that have much more detailed options for workflows, tasks and visualizations of those pieces. This is a large gap for me. Natero has an integration to pull from SFDC, but does not post to SFDC, which means we often have to make updates in multiple locations. This adds many clicks and can be frustrating!
