Incredible Customer Management Tool
Like I said previously we've always tracked our users but that data was difficult to surface and was siloed. Easily the best thing about Zuora Insights is how easy it is to surface that data and then build out processes to do something about it. Before we could only really go back after the fact and diagnose what went wrong with an account, with Zuora Insights we're able to anticipate and get in front of problems.

Data Surprises Can Be A Gift
The process for customizing the product to track what mattered in the website was straightforward and the engagement of our single point of contact and her team was a key component to driving that success. We met weekly, tracked our progress, and understood what deliverables would be possible in what phase/date.

Zuora Insights- A Game Changer
Zuora Insights pulls in data from several systems, including SalesForce. It has allowed one singular location to hold all client data. Our organization has developed a client health score that is calculated through Zuora Insights. Easily we can see and determine what areas we are excelling or need to focus on at a high level - or down to the individual client. It has helped us with formulating and developing strategies overall - that are supported by data, not assumptions. Since implementation, we have increased our client engagement, improved our NPS Scores by 54% and improved overall retention - allowing our business to grow at a faster rate.

See how Zuora Insight helps Jasmine Software help acupuncturists
Zuora Insights is the only product we use to track customer engagement. The ability to extend and gain insight into the specific features of Jasmine that our customers are using is what makes Zuora Insights so powerful for us. Anytime we add a new feature to our product, we also add a Zuora Insights' beacon to track the feature's usage.

Z-Insights Product Review
Most of the other systems that track customer usage are just raw data providers with no comparison ability or added context. Zuora Insights allows us to aggregate the data/usage of our various customers and turn that in to something actionable.

Zuora and Us - an imperfect fit
I think it has some impact but it is much smaller compared to our other tools. The other tools we use provide us rich insights and allow us to see how our engagements will affect user behavior on the site. Zuora Insights doesn't really give us that type of insights; it is more of a measurement over time analysis that is provided. We may not be using it to its full capacity but we've found the other tools are doing this more holistically.

Zuroa Insights Review
It's pretty great. We are still learning in regards to how we use Zuora Insights but overall it has been very helpful.
December 18, 2015
Z-insights. Seems cool but is it useful?
Right now, we have to use a variety of different projects in order to monitor and measure customer engagement and retention. We use intercom, zendesk, Zuora Insights, and our own internal metrics we get from our technology in order to get a good picture of what we do. We'd like to simplify it, but we're not sure how.

SaaS Usage review
It's really the only tool we use besides a custom built one to track usage. Zuora Insights gives a lot more detailed info though.

Right now we use Zuora Insights to identify at risk accounts, but I would rather see better leading indicators.
December 11, 2015
Giving a deep look at your customers
It's very useful, as it allows us to drill down on metrics and segment our customers by risk factors. We push in metrics from Zendesk, our product, and Salesforce to isolate accounts we need to reach out to and manage. It's important, at scale, to have a way to focus your resources. That said, one area that I think Zuora Insights needs to improve on to provide a full-spectrum of support is workflow management. Not having a way to effectively track history or work done against risk factors is a continual issue for our group.

Using Zuora to manage AppExchange prospects and customers
I use Salesforce and love it. Zuora Insights helps me know if there is great use of our app and possibly go for additional users and a review. If my prospect or customer is not using our app I know I need to get them more training.

My insights on Z-insights
This has been critical for tracking customer engagement and retention, helping to identify at risk clients with enough time to try and save them, as well as identifying successful clients for potential case studies.
I don't know. Zuora Insights is the first system of its type I've encountered in my career. In discussing it with others, I seldom hear competitors mentioned, so I get the feeling that they pretty well "own the space". Considering that they do exactly what I need, I don't feel a huge reason to look around.

SaaS Sales/Account Mgmt role review
It does a very good job, really diving into the data or user behaviors. It is key to engaging our users on a personalized level by really getting to see areas of strength and improvement of our product and ensuring our product is easy to navigate and use. By noticing that certain features are being used we can reach out with helpful guides and information to steer the user towards added benefits of other features.

Loving Zuora
Zuora Insights is what I use most to show my clients how well they are doing or where they can improve. This information seems to be best suited for retention and customer happiness. It helps me do my job well.
We also use Mixpanel to track customers. I use Zuora Insights more often because it is easier to use. I think the biggest impact on customer retention is that we can make more intelligent phone calls and spend less time trying to get info out of the clients, making sales and renewals cycles shorter and making us sound more professional than we would otherwise.

Churning is bad for you. Start Zuora instead.
We have some internal tools assessing usage of specific features, but quickly realized that investing in analytics tools was always going to have lower returns than focusing on core features. We leave analytics to Zuora Insights!
