I have used Natero and Totango. Gainsight was more complicated to install but with really good documentation. Natero was easy to get up and running and use the health scorecard but intergrating was COMPLICATED! it is very easy to integrate other applications within Gainsight

GS is still the best product I've seen for doing what we use it for. I can see how certain aspects of the Lightning system could accomplish certain things we use GS for, but not everything, and certainly not as fully fleshed out. For the time being, I can't see how anything else in this space can compare to what we've experienced so far with GS.

Our evaluation process was very short so we only had one demo with each company. There were a few features with Totango which we liked but the references we received pushed us to Gainsight. We are extremely happy with our choice.

Our alternative to Gainsight was to try to configure SFDC to do what we needed. Through our evaluation, we determined that leveraging Gainsight's expertise in Customer Success would be of tremendous value as we stood up a new Customer Success team.

The aforementioned tools are great but very segmented. Gainsight allows you to leverage info from Salesforce while creating account based tasks for yourself and keeping all of your information relevant to the account in one place.

  • Intercom
We are currently evaluating Intercom in addition to Gainsight for customer marketing for non-managed accounts. Intercom provides much more robust customer communication tools (in-product messaging and chat, email branching logic and segmentation, app support), but we would still use Gainsight to manage our CSM workflow and manage 1:1 communications to our customers.

Many within the business had looked at other tools, but other tools were not a part of the decision making process. Other applications in the space honestly aren't a comparison to Gainsight. For us, it was a matter or Gainsight or nothing. Now that we have it, we can't imagine operating without it. It is that valuable.

I have the most experience with Salesforce. Gainsight is similar in a sense, but still has a long way to go in terms of integrations and customized reporting capabilities.
