We have a couple of Gainsight admins that are over the customizations. It has taken us a little bit to get things exactly how we want them but overall, we love the end result and Gainsight has been very helpful in assisting our team. We even held a Gainsight user training at our company and it was a big success!
I have only contacted Gainsight's support team a couple of times, but it was a solid experience each time. The team was responsive and the people I spoke with were very knowledgeable about the product. A sign of good support is how efficiently they move toward a solution. Gainsight didn't waste time emailing back and forth with one discovery question per email. They asked all of the right questions upfront so they could quickly get to a solution.
We often reach out to the support team and it takes a while for our tickets to be resolved depending on the size of the ticket. We are frequently referred to their community and our admin has become self-sufficient in finding answers without using support.
The customer service is definitely responsive and will acknowledge requests, but sometimes the waits for resolution can be a bit long, and at times very long.
Overall most support tickets are resolved after back and forth. I would love to see more 1-1 solving via phone calls to knock out the robotic feeling of a queue. I feel like this would increase the speed of time to resolution.
We have received good support with most of our inquiries. And that has not been a part of my direct experience. They have occasional had issues that were a little more difficult to diagnose. In those cases, we have had to be a little more patient that we would like.
Gainsight's support team may be the best support team that I've ever worked with. They are responsive, quick to understand the problem, and can usually provide a solution very quickly. While there are system limitations that the support team cannot always fix, there is a active community board that usually has some crowdsourced options for various problems.
Overall support for Gainsight is great. Asides from a dedicated Customer Success Manager, there are multiple ways of reaching out to them, which makes it super easy depending on the type of question you are trying to ask. They also have support forums where you can first check to see if any other users have encountered your issue in the past. The only thing is that you have to know that these options are available in order for you to fully utilize them (email, webchat).
There have been times my CSMs have not been as responsive or missed meetings / follow-ups; but, generally they are super helpful and the general technical support is excellent. Everyone is busy and I understand that, but they can work on being more organized or having smaller portfolios if they need to keep follow-ups from slipping through the cracks.
Our CSM is knowledgeable and engaging. The support tickets are pretty well maintained and responses/resolutions are slightly above average. We have received great value from our implementation team during the current re-implementation effort.
So far we have been very happy with the customer success, customer support, solutions engineering, and projct management teams at Gainsight.
Live chat hours are limited (they are not 24/7). Many questions are not resolved via chat and have to be escalated. Once a chat is escalated, it can take days to even get a response.
The CSMs are very hands-on and helpful, both Elaine and Lane have provided a lot of guidance and value over the years. Support is responsive and will jump on things as needed. The thought leadership and community is probably the most valuable part of our support from Gainsight.
Most of the time the team are very good at being responsive, with the odd occasion I've had to send follow up emails for an update. The team are very good at explaining solutions to an issue and make great use of gifs and images to assist.
I advocate for Gainsight because of their support team. The Outcomes Managers and Technical Support teams are top notch. I have worked with a handful of different solutions engineers when I had a problem I wanted to solve, and they assisted me in a timely and professional manner. I am a huge fan of Gainsight for the support they offer!
This is the area where I feel like there's the greatest opportunity for them to grow. Tailored support to our individual business goals and objectives is greatly needed but I feel we haven't gotten that from our team.
I have not had direct contact with Gainsight support so I cannot accurately provide an answer to this question. I have only had one interaction with a Gainsight customer success manager and it was not the best. The individual had some trouble understanding our questions and did not seem completely prepared.
