Support took the time to explain a difficult and less-than-well-documented feature of Gainsight. After resolution it was something that I could then much more easily use, understand, and explain to others so that we could replicate results. This happened in a similar way with another feature and I was given a great alternative that ultimately produced a much better result.

Gainsight has a practice of alerting me when a bug MAY have impacted my account. They proactively reach out and let me know about the situation and offer to investigate for me. No pressure or work on my end. Then they report back with the impact and we take action together. This is amazing and something I greatly value.

Gainsight has reached out to engage a wide variety of Ceridian team members to assist with their unique areas of business. For example, our NPS Survey team was interested in migrating to Gainsight's survey capabilities and the Gainsight team engaged them directly and answered their questions and coached them on best practices.

We were in the middle of a Salesforce migration and had some confusion around access and settings, Support resolved our issue and got us back on track right away. This was incredibly important as we had deadlines that would impact the overall success of the migration project. Thankfully with the amazing support, we were not progress impacting.

We have had many questions related to Scorecard 2.0 and Relationships. Some were answered by Support, and some were answered by our Implementation dude (who is great). Support team never hesitates to get on a call with me and our Sales Ops team to explain features, and our Implementation dude meets with us every week to help us understand use cases and best practices.

I used the chat channel to contact Gainsight about a quick question that I had regarding one of their features. I used the language in their help article to explain my question, but the rep came back confused about what I was talking about. Once he did understand he gave me the answer I needed, but then just cut off the chat without so much as a salutation, let alone a follow-up question. I submitted a review about that interaction and expressed my disappointment. A few days later, I received a box at my office from Gainsight full of muffins apologizing for the less than satisfactory experience I had.

I mentioned we were blowing through SFDC storage rather quickly by adding in usage data daily. This has me very concerned as we weren't looking to pull into an additional cost from another tool to support Gainsight. After this was quickly identified we worked with support and CSM at Gainsight to come up with an action plan on how to avoid this but still get the usage data we wanted to see from the all client level down to the individual client level. This works as intended and we aren't losing any functionality going this route.
