Our Client Success team uses Gainsight CS in connection with Salesforce as our CRM. All customer communication activities are logged in Gainsight CS, account information is stored there, and we use healthscoring, success planning, calls to action, and reporting to help manage day-to-day work with customers. Additionally, we utilize Gainsight CS for automated email campaigns to our clients to support them in the best and most scalable way possible. As a leader on the team, I work with our operations team to optimize our Gainsight CS application, so it's relevant and helpful for our CSMs. I also use it to manage my day, with manager-directed calls to action and real-time reporting to track my team's performance.

Success with Gainsight
Initially, we needed a tool to centralize our client data as well as keep our Client Success team organized with their tasks with managing so many clients. We continue to solve for other problems year over year as our Gainsight CSM digs into our business needs and opens the door to features that she feels would best suit us.

Helpful for understanding customers and gauge their health
We use Gainsight Customer Cloud in our Customer Success department. This helps us keep an eye on the health of our customers and the metrics that are important to their business. Gainsight Customer Cloud provides great visuals to quickly see at a glance what's going well and where improvement can be made. Ultimately, this helps drive the success of our customers and can help with growth and expansion as well.

Gainsight for Customer Success!
Gainsight is primarily used by our Customer Success team. It's an add-on on top of Salesforce and does not require users to log somewhere separately. Like how Salesforce is primarily catered towards Account Executives. Similarly, Gainsight is designed to help out Customer Success team members. Its UI and out-of-the-box functionalities are something that the Customer Success team finds very handy. It gives a good view of overall customer health to CS.

A good way to help your organization see more with your customers
Gainsight is currently being used within our customer success department only. Our intended use is to help us become a more proactive organization and a way to better organize our day through the usage of the call to actions.
January 14, 2020
Just honest.
Gainsight is mostly used in the Sales and Marketing department. It helps to track the costumer's journey and experience with us.

Gainsight - The Best Way to Organize Customer Success Teams
Gainsight was being used by all of the customer success to log activities with customers on a daily basis. We also had very specific alerts related to usage and communication built in to make sure we were monitoring how our customers were doing with our product and how often we were speaking with them.

Gaining true Insights into your Business.
We use Gainsight in the Customer Support and Success teams. It helps us bring together information from multiple software applications. Salesforce, Zendesk, Domo, and Pendo, these are are the primary software applications we use. For the two teams this is what they use to connect and record contacts with our clients. It can be customized, and we are doing better now.

Team Gainsight!!
We use Gainsight throughout our entire Customer Success Team. Is helps us stay organized by prioritizing our CTA's with a due date and it even allows you to check off smaller tasks within a CTA before closing it out. Gainsight allows you to customize your view as a user and admins have control over the information it shows. It is so nice to have this platform that integrates with Salesforce and shows us a timeline of the team activity! While there is a lot of information, it is well-organized and easy to locate. Highly recommend!!

Gainsight -- We really like you
Gainsight is used by a variety of departments at my org including Sales, Client Success and Client Implementation. Gainsight addresses support and monitoring of client life cycle, success plans, progress and client risk.

Gainsight an Asset for Scaling CSM Team
Gainsight is leveraged by our team of Customer Success Managers and CS Management in order to track and manage customer health, predict and triage at-risk and/or unhealthy accounts based on key data ported related to how customers leverage our software, log important engagements with customers, track CSM activity/productivity to ensure we're at a healthy utilization rate as a team, and aid in proactive engagements with customers as our CSM team scales.

A great tool for scaling your Success organization.
We use it for our global customer success team. We also have view-only licenses for our AEs. CSMs use it to organize their day and track activities within accounts.
We use Gainsight to manage our enterprise accounts. As a manager, I use it daily to understand the health of my portfolio of accounts and the status / progress of each customer's Success Plan. In addition, it serves as a critical 'single source of truth' if a CSM is on vacation / sabbatical or if we're transitioning the account to another CSM.
October 22, 2019
Finally a product built by company that understands CSMs
We use Gainsight to standardize our approach to client situations. Gainsight is our single data source regrouping all our customer data; this allows us to have a consolidated picture in a single environment and leverage that to build a success plan around that situation. It is also used to run automated NPS campaigns.
October 22, 2019
Good CS Platform
We use Gainsight as the platform for our CSMs to work with their customer base. It provides meaningful insights and automated actions to make it easier to see which accounts need additional support, where opportunity for upsell/cross-sell exist, and general risk management.
Additionally, Gainsight offers robust reporting that helps the Customer Success Department communicate effectively with other departments and executives in order to address high level issues.

End user review of Gainsight
Gainsight is used by the Customer Success organization to capture and display customer adoption data as it relates to various products. Its use addresses the problem of understanding customer engagement in products with the goal of improving product marketing efforts as well as optimizing future product design and features.

A premier option among CS tools
We have used Gainsight within our Customer Success Team to expand our knowledge of customer relationships, to better understand account health, and make informed decisions on what plays to run. To a certain extent, it is used outside of CS but mainly by leadership who also want insight into existing relationships.

A Must Have for any Customer Success Organization (and more)
Gainsight is not only used in our Customer Success organization, but also cross-functionally as well. We use Gainsight to provide historical data on all our merchants (High Touch, Low Touch, and No Touch). We use it for many different functions, some of them being sending out mass email campaigns, sending out all types of surveys (NPS, various CSAT). Some other teams that utilize Gainsight are Product, Implementations, Account Management, and Customer Marketing. We have developed Gainsight to be our tracking platform for a lot of our campaigns, as well as a platform where anyone on other teams (who have a license) can view responses or view historical data on a merchant, such as updates that have been inputted by the CSM's in the past, or emails that have been logged, etc. Gainsight is a great tool-- if not for it, we would essentially be using a notebook, or a very cluttered excel spreadsheet for each client. Being able to log all kinds of updates (email, call, meetings) and assigning action items directly to users who are involved is a very seamless process, and Gainsight has helped us with that. It has also helped us with providing daily alerts based on usage data to help CSM's be notified whenever there are spikes or negative trends with our customers.

Not sure how we managed accounts without Gainsight
We were an early adopter of Gainsight and really didn't use it within our Enterprise business until the past year. In our last renewal with Gainsight, we engaged a Gainsight consultant to determine if their solution made sense for our Enterprise accounts. No surprise coming out of that engagement the consultant recommended we continue using Gainsight with our Enterprise clients and also worked with us on best practices to roll out to our teams. We currently use Gainsight throughout our Customer Success and Sales team. We have other departments that don't work within the tool day to day but upload their client deliverables in Gainsight so we have a proper system of record. Currently, our mid-market and scale team take full advantage of the platform and we're using the platform to about half its strengths in Enterprise. But to be fair, a large part of the delay in using Gainsight to it's fullest extent isn't on Gainsight but on our data cleanliness in Salesforce.

Gainsight made my job so much easier.
Gainsight is exclusively used by the global customer success team (about 15 people). We started using it this year to help us streamline our customer info, notes, and reminders into one platform. We also wanted the automation of reminders for outreach. It has helped us track our efforts and have more visibility into our accounts.

Gain efficiency with Gainsight
Gainsight enables our customer success team to manage their accounts through health scores, meeting notes, surveys, email campaigns, and CTAs. Our executive, sales and CS leadership teams use the tool to gain information on their accounts and to review dashboards. We use Gainsight as the main tool to store all customer data. It allows us to monitor trends and risks at a high level.
August 16, 2019
Timeline Lifeline
We use Gainsight within Customer Success, Sales, and Renewal teams to help provide a better workflow experience in managing our customers. Salesforce can get very overloaded with information and it's refreshing to have a platform that was designed around the customer success mindset but still sync back to Salesforce as needed.
August 16, 2019
Best product for CS, with room to improve.
Gainsight is used as a way for current Customer Success Managers and Account Managers to understand the health of the accounts they serve, and as a task management tool.

Use your Brainsight, get Gainsight
Gainsight is used by the Client Success Department and management/executive team for the client services organization. The goal was to address a number of business goals:
- Accurate health scoring across our client base to manage escalations, track advocates, and give management better visibility
- Manage the tasks and workload of the CSMs day-to-day through the use of a mix of automated and manual triggers for Calls to Action
- Provide a central hub for client information, usage stats and CSM contact history (Timeline)
- Reduce the number of tools the CSMs were having to log-in to and use each day

A powerful tool to build a CS division
Gainsight is used as our Customer Success Management tool.
