I really haven't used other tools that can be related to what Gainsight provides. I can say that Gainsight is definitely one of the bests in the markets. For me, the combinations of being a platform with a lot of tools and futures for customers plus a great customer service is the formula for success.

Gainsight was much better than Salesforce Lightning due to the intuitive layout and user interface. Gainsight limits the number of clicks and is much more visually appealing and easy to use.

My companies both chose Gainsight before I arrived, so I was not part of that process. I have evaluated ChurnZero outside of the process and I think it's a great tool - maybe more so for smaller companies.

Gainsight's integration tools were much better than the others. Totango has a very nice user interface, but didn't have the structure to handle our variety of customer (small to very large). Totango also required the use of other 3rd party tools as they hadn't built their own, such as surveys and outreaches.

More robust partnership at each level than the alternatives were able to offer. Prescriptive approach was critical to success. The community was a meaningful value add. Overall - Gainsight's clearly the market leader, with attractive pricing, partnership, and lots of resources.

I honestly haven't done much research on other options, but I ave talked with reps from Bullhorn. I believe they are newer to Customer Success, but they had a unique offering that searched Outlook for all customers emails to your company's email server. This level of transparency would be amazing with a growing company. However, we ended up not pursuing this option due to technical limitations, cost, and no additional benefits.

After reviewing manual processes and other industry solutions along with our needs for integration and a Salesforce friendly solution, Gainsight was selected based on the breadth of product capabilities and the team of resources we would be partnering with. While there are other possible solutions, Gainsight has worked very well for our objectives

We found Gainsight's functionality to be better suited to our needs. We used Totango when our organization was less mature. We felt that Gainsight offered a wider range of functionality that would be able to grow with us, whereas we ultimately would have had to leave Totango because they would have been unable to support our increased customer success operations.

We've evaluated Strikedeck and one of the main features we really like about Gainsight is that it is native within Salesforce. Strikedeck is an external program that reads into SFDC but it requires the user to jump from window to window.

Your competitor field wouldn't let me list Salesforce as a standalone product to use. People/companies still use it for customer success management and I've used it in prior companies to in the early days. I saw an earlier version of Totango. I recall Gainsight's UI and usability to be impressive and feature full. It had more of the information we/I needed to get a full view of each customer.

While features vary across the platform - Gainsight is the easier one to look at every day...appearance wise. It's very well laid out and easy to follow.
