Overall Satisfaction with Gainsight

Gainsight is being used primarily by the Customer Success Department, and is addressing our needs to scale and drive proactive behavior, thus helping us reduce churn and promote expansions.
  • Reports are insightful and easy to digest
  • Standardization across multiple global teams thus helping align the business
  • Net promoter score (NPS) survey mechanism which helps shed light on customers' opinions and feedback
  • Integration with Salesforce at the Field Level - it is not always easy to see/update Salesforce data from Gainsight
  • Performance could be improved

Gainsight is a very strategic tool for helping Customer Success to scale, especially in the velocity, 1-to-many, low touch market segment. It seems to be less useful for high touch, 1-to-1, enterprise market segment. Having said that, it could just be the way we implemented it to date.
