Overall Satisfaction with Gainsight
Gainsight is strictly used by our Customer Success team. It enables our CS team to ensure they can properly manage all of their customers on a daily basis, from health scores, CTA's, renewals, etc. Each member of our team uses Gainsight on a daily basis. The main use cases for our team are:
1) Reporting & dashboards: Each CSM has their own dashboard that contains various information on all of their customers, from health scores, customer life stages, renewal dates, MRR, etc. This allows them to have a wealth of information on hand whenever they need.
2) CTA's, playbooks: this ensures our CSM's can stay up to date on every customer, trigger playbooks & CTA's regarding the customer life cycle and ensure customers are moving towards a successful renewal.
3) Rules Engine: automated rules that trigger a variety of tasks, such as NPS surveys, health score updates/changes, usage data analysis, among other things.

- Gainsight makes it very easy to set up rules to automate the CS process. Automation is key. It allows us to run rules daily without having to do anything manually.
- Gainsight's reporting and dashboard make it very easy for CSMs to view their customer info in one spot, in a very efficient manner.
- Gainsight's health score system is fantastic. It allows us to alter it whenever we feel that we need to and add as many metrics as we'd like.
- An update to Gainsight's UI would be fantastic. I really like dashboards but they are very dull looking. An update to make reports more colourful would go a long way.
- I'd like to see continued improvement of Gainsight's advanced outreach feature (automated emails). It worries me when I set an advanced outreach to trigger and then have no idea when it will trigger - sometimes it takes 2 minutes sometimes it takes 45 minutes, this causes a nervous feeling as I just have to wait and see if it deployed properly or not.
It is very important - on a monthly or quarterly basis, I export powerpoint from Gainsight's dashboards and share this information with the leadership team.
- Improve CSM efficiency.
- Identify customers that are at risk earlier in the customer life stage.
- Understand how our customers feel about our product, leveraging Gainsight's survey tools.
I haven't used any tool that would be a competitor to Gainsight.
We have Zoura and Zendesk connected with Gainsight and we also feed usage data on a monthly basis to Gainsight, leveraging their MDA services.
