Overall Satisfaction with Gainsight Customer Cloud

Initially, we needed a tool to centralize our client data as well as keep our Client Success team organized with their tasks with managing so many clients. We continue to solve for other problems year over year as our Gainsight CSM digs into our business needs and opens the door to features that she feels would best suit us.
  • Gainsight has allowed our Client Success team to manage our clients efficiently. The tool is key to managing our client life cycle from initial engagement, through implementation and Go Live phases, and following through to Renewal. Being able to trigger alerts as well as tasks for CSMs based on usage and on life cycle stage has been crucial.
  • Customer support is great. The Support desk communicates frequently when working through submitted tickets and our Client Success Manager thinks outside the box when making strategic recommendations for our business.
  • Journey Orchestrator allows us to trigger customized, automated emails to our clients. The feature allows for inline reports with charts and includes tokens that can be auto-filled from fields in Salesforce or Gainsight (user first name, contract thresholds, etc).
  • The rules engine is incredibly useful however, at times I need Support assistance with setting them up properly. I'm not sure how to make it more user friendly as it's a fairly technical tool, but I can dream.
  • Increase efficiency working with clients
  • Lower CSM turnover
  • Identifying clients that may be at risk based on product usage

Gainsight could be used by any business where a client's success is a primary focus and a team of folks are looking for a tool to centralize client data and to assist with organization of client-related tasks. Additional tools to note when considering are their survey capabilities, automated client email tool, and their integration with Salesforce.
