Totango is used by Customer Success department specifically (other depts don't have access to it). We use Totango to keep track on everything that is happening with our customers and their accounts.
  • Integrated information from many sources.
  • Uniform method for assessing accounts health.
  • Playbooks for standardizing processes.
  • More natural/rich support for hierarchy of orgs - it's not clear which activities should be completed at which level.
  • Sometimes the page is slow to load, especially initially. One reason could be the fact Totango is making connections to 3rd party browser monitoring tools.
  • Better support for reports authoring.
I think Totango is well suited to support Customer Success organisations across a wide range of Software-as-a-Service businesses. The layout of the UI does make it easy to focus on what's most relevant in the context of the specific account a user is looking at. Totango is not well suited to help Sales-focused departments/organisations.

Working in a Customer Success role in a SaaS business, Totango is an excellent tool for enabling us to actively monitor customer health; keep our team proactive and engaged; and track our customer success activities.
  • Easy to use.
  • Intuitive interface.
  • Good visualisation in dashboards.
  • Sometimes difficult to view timeline of conversations.
  • Creation of custom reports not always intuitive.
Particularly good for documenting interactions with customers.

It is being used by the entire customer success team. We track time to onboard customer, send out mass campaigns, track any information about the account and make tasks to follow up/check in on customers.
  • Organize data
  • Track customer information/lifecycle
  • Campaign templates / customization of campaigns

We use ToTango to automate our customer-facing Playbooks and measure customer adoption. Key Users are CSM, TAMs, and Engineers - Task management status is shared with Salesforce for our Account Executives. With Totonago we are able to streamline conversation, standardize best practice and track task completion. It has led to high renewal rates.
  • Clean Integration with CRM tools that sales uses. The bi-directional sync allows for clear communication without requiring all stake holders to login to TT.
  • Flexible account scoring for health measurement. Allows you to score your customers using your methodology and data sources.
  • Ease of ingestion / integration.
  • CSP Development - The task view is nice, but a Gantt view or timeline view would help.
  • Sub-Account Management - While the hierarchies are in place it makes seeing scoring impacts hard.
  • Playbooks - create new tasks when the previous is completed, not a bulk dump of tasks.
  • Role-based access for account information - control what data teams can see.
Totango is well suited for an organization that knows how they want to measure customer engagement and customer health. If you don't go in with a strategy of where you will get the data, what the data means and how that impacts renewals you won't be able to get value out of Totango.

Totango is currently used by our customer success team, including onboarding. We are looking to solve lack of visibility on customer communications and looking to optimize customer outreach across the board. We also want to create a place that centralizes all customer communication, whether it be with Sales or Support, in one system.
  • Task Management
  • Calculating Customer Health
  • Communication Logs
  • Customer support
  • Laggy integration sync
  • Less intuitive UI
Totango would be suited for businesses growing at scale both in the SMB and Enterprise space. Companies focusing on customer outreach and customer experience as an initiative would find Totango useful. However, I do see that products that are more intricately built surrounding a customers' ecosystem and less on the relationship component might find Totango more complementary to their customer success team.

Totango for Monster is being used to zone into our clients solutions with Monster and how they are using them. Totango capitalizes on their health of their solutions so we can work with them to ensure proper usage. Also we send marketing campaigns through Totango to capture customers engagement with Monster. We also write notes in Totango with our correspondence with our clients.
  • The customers' health. Helps to monitor usage.
  • Good clean notes. Helps to keep track of correspondence.
  • Marketing campaigns, to gain customers' engagement with our company.
  • I would like to see the health of the customers' solutions expand beyond ads and resume access.
  • Ease of sending campaigns.
  • The functionality with notetaking to increase to add more notes, not be limited.
Totango is well suited in scenarios where clients are expressing their are having issues with your solutions and you can find out exactly when the breakdown in usage happened to hold the client and your company accountable. Also if a clients says they don't find a benefit of the solution you can hold them accountable if the health indicates in spite of your efforts they have not used the solutions.

The customer success team at my company all use Totango. We use Totango to manage our clients and assign ourselves tasks of where they are at in the onboarding and training process and beyond. We also use it to keep notes about each account and information about key points of contact as well as each clients' goals. Every time we interact with a client we log that in Totango.
  • Help me stay organized.
  • Helps me not lose track of clients and where they are at in the onboarding process.
  • Basically becomes my to-do list of what I need to do and who I need to reach out to each day.
  • Sometimes the system is glitchy for example not allowing me to save tasks or randomly not allowing me to copy and paste.
  • The constant changes without warning. I will be able to copy and paste one day and not the next or the layout will change slightly which can throw off my day to day when I am so used to using the system one way and then it changes.
I think it is great if you are managing a large amount of clients that are all at different stages of the onboarding process. It proves to be a little different with multilocation accounts and an account with lots of points of contact because you just need to assign yourself tasks accordingly, there is no way to assign tasks for one location as the Totango account is just for that client overall.

We are using it in the Customer Success organization. It allows us to get a good view of our Partner's health over time. These are challenging times and we know our partners are needing to focus on their customers. By keeping track of touchpoints, we can easily see how they have been doing over time.
  • Historical Health dashboard is awesome.
  • Historical touchpoints is awesome.
  • Being able to assign future tasks is awesome.
  • It does take time to get a good view.
  • Not all health metrics exist for all product usage/integration which leads to using other dashboards to get the full picture (i.e. Salesforce).
  • Direct integration to Outlook calendar and mail is needed. Calendar is one of my main tools!
Well suited for a mature or expanding CSM org. It does put all the info into one platform.
Managers are able to assign tasks based on rules, ex: if no touchpoint in 30 days, add task for outreach. Keeps us on the ball to meet our internal SLA for Partner contact, very good.
This is not a pre-sales or CRM tool.

Currently Totango is being used by our organization to coordinate implementation and customer success efforts. We hope to implement it across other departments eventually. <br><br>Currently our biggest challenges we solve with Totango are:<br><ol><li>Automation - We spend a large amount of time composing manual emails that could be automated for more quality, high-level time with the client.</li><li>Efficiency - Totango is incredibly useful for tracking what needs to be done today, tomorrow and next week. It eliminates the static and chaos.</li><li>Personalization - Totango allows us to send out personalized emails and build a custom success plan for clients that makes the experience feel like it was meant for them.</li></ol>
  • Workflow - Totango is incredibly efficient at task/time management.
  • Database - Totango seems to be pretty easy to see the "story" of a customer at a glance.
  • Automation - Totango eliminates the waste of having to manually send emails and even allows custom emails to be sent from within the software. Big time saver when working with multiple clients.
  • Client Info - Sometimes it feels like there isn't enough info on the client, even if you can get the gist of the info from what you see. Totango provides essentials, but sometimes feels like it may not give you the deep details you may need. Sometimes the dashboard / client view can feel chaotic or messy.
  • Automation Controls - Some things like choosing an interaction type or sending an email require you to press a button to do that. It can be easy to forget to press a button or check a box to send an email when adding an interaction and the email never goes out.
Totango is best used in situations where you'll be tracking a client and their journey through a specific timeline. We use it to get someone started in a software and then to ensure they remain successful for years to come, periodically checking in with them, as well as pulling analytics to understand how effective they are using the software.

Totango would be less beneficial for people who are transactional. If your role is to offer assistance once and never again, it's doubtful that Totango will be as beneficial for you. This would be things like technicians, accountants, etc.

Totango is primarily use by our Customer Success Organization. Our sales org also has limited access. The CS org uses Totango to monitor health for customer accounts, document meeting notes, create plans/objectives, and upload contracts.
  • Totango is a great resource for quickly creating views of customers based on similar characteristics. We are able to easily create reports of renewing accounts or poor health accounts.
  • I find the value metrics particularly limited. I previously used a different CS platform and all of the metrics configured in the dashboard provided a summary for each customer, distinguishing the different aspects of our platform so the CSM could easily tell what the customer was using/not using. I don't see this type of functionality in Totango. It seems to use avg. for a lot of the values which is confusing.
  • The task management can be a bit overwhelming. I always seem to have a long list of tasks overdue. It's very tedious to always have to enter a subject and note for each task before completing. Would be more convenient to have one field to quickly fill out before completing a task or not requiring any notes if it's a simple task to complete.
  • Creating successflows and successplays require a bit of a learning curve to use successfully. Would be create to create something more straightforward if i want to quickly send out an email campaign to all of my key contacts.
At this point given our limited adoption to the feature and lack of automation I don't see the true power of Totango so far. I would be more likely to recommend if we had all of our custom graphs/reporting correctly configured.

Totango is used by our customer success group. it is extremely useful for us because it represents all the important parameters that our customers use like the revenue, number of users, the kind of applications, etc. I really feel this is the best tool that have ever used in customer success.
  • One snapshot of information.
  • One tool to compare all customers.
  • Best user experience.
  • Saves lot of time.
  • Mobile app is missing.
  • No much granular details in usage.
  • No trouble shooting tips.
Totango is very useful especially for the Lotus customers where all the notifications are automatically being sent with all the latest updates. For the Heritage customers if we can improve any functionality wherein the important notifications are still being sent that would be very useful.

Our department uses Totango as the main CRM in managing our Customer Success portfolio. Aside from storing basic account information, it also includes usage, implementation, and product data. We use segments and campaigns to prioritize how and why we reach out to our clients.
  • Segment creation.
  • Touchpoints.
  • Very complex tool and user training could be improved.
  • Requires a lot of internal development for customisation.
Totango is great to view general account info, track and create touchpoints/tasks with clients, and customise segments to track important KPIs.

  • Metrics.
  • Graphs.
  • UI/UX.
  • More flexibility for reporting.

Totango is well suited in any customer oriented role, it's not well suited for customers that want incredibly robust report that isn't just monitoring usage.

[Totango is] being used for Customer Success. We bought it to automate the CS processes.
  • Good UI
  • Reporting
  • Customization
  • Finance team is unreasonable
  • Lack of important connectors
  • CSV uploading is inefficient
  • Some important fields can only be updated through CSV
Well suited for reporting and consolidation in one place, but relies heavily on Salesforce integration. Without SFDC, the tool falls short with CSV uploads

One place to gather and review customer data with added business intelligence. Not just a repository of data but a live platform that give you the pulse of the customer portfolio while offering sophisticated information and a 360 customer view.

  • Option to add the personal sentiment
  • Reports can be more informative or easy to navigate
  • Lots of features are hidden or not clear what exactly they do
  • Bccing customer emails to touchpoint@totango.com can be tricky as account with similar names often messed up

This tool is great for tracking account. It helps to understand the status the customer is in. Are they green, yellow or red, and why...

Well suited for task management to get reminders and share clearly what's going on with a sale opportunity to his manager. Less appropriate to close a deal and manage an order life cycle (not a CRM).

Data Intensity is the largest independent multi-cloud managed services provider delivering enterprise application and database managed services, business intelligence and analytics to a global client base. We use Totango as a single-pane for our Customer Success team to leverage data from a variety of sources such as Salesforce, Oracle EBS, Service Now and dozens of SharePoint spreadsheets. Ultimately this allows us to provide a smoother experience that our customers have come to expect.
  • Gamification of Data.
  • Consolidation of data from disparate sources.
  • Standardisation of view across various geographies and silos.
  • Ease of access to the tool. SSO clunkiness and mobile experience.
  • Reporting; granularity of custom reporting.

Totango is being used by our customer success team. We had very high hopes initially that Totango would automate a lot of key processes for the team, but those automations ended up being too noisy for our team. As such, we ended up foregoing most of the automation and using primarily manual updates.
  • Can process automatic triggers.
  • Tracks usage data.
  • Tracks revenue data.
  • Triggers are noisy.
  • Updating fields is cumbersome and UI is unintuitive.
  • Creating dashboards is difficult.
Probably about a 4. I believe other CRM tools have similar capabilities and overall Totango has not been overly impressive for our company.

It used for all the Customer Success team both in our US and Israeli office.
We use it to manage our customers and keep track of everything in the customer management (calls, tasks, important information).
  • Tasks.
  • Connection with our software to understand the customer activity.
  • Fill easily all main customer information to see an overview of the customer information.
  • A better overview of the tasks/touchpoints history, sometimes can be hard to see.
  • Sometimes the system is slow.
  • A better app user experience to manage easier customers from the app.
Well suited:
- Daily customer management (tasks).
- Handover of customer to other account manager.
- Understand a customer issue if the account manager left or is OOO .

Less suited:
- Handoff from sales/ customer success - No integration with our Sales/ billing software (Zoho).

Totango is used as our customer success CRM. We track customer usage, attributes associated with their account, key data, key contact such as sales renewals contacts. It is also the base of the platform used to note take regarding client interactions, trainings, business reviews, etc. It is import to have a central place for this sort of data.
  • Centralise information.
  • Places to log calls and notes.
  • Lots of dashboards and information to sort.
  • Increased integrations between other software.
  • Being able to add contacts for a bi directional sync.
If you are looking to have a centralized platform and place for notes to taken and tracked, providing an environment that multiple people can access the information and that it is easy to hand clients of with this is a great solution. The only time you may go with something else if the the particular level of integration that you need does not exist.
