A great tool for scaling your Success organization.
Overall Satisfaction with Gainsight
We use it for our global customer success team. We also have view-only licenses for our AEs. CSMs use it to organize their day and track activities within accounts.
Pros
- Gainsight is a thought leader in customer success and therefore has built the functionality of the tool to reflect best practices.
- For leadership, Gainsight is a great tool to be able to scale a success organization. For example, we are able to create standardized processes or activities for CSMs, and then we can execute on those things via Gainsight as the system of record.
- For CSMs, Gainsight helps them manager their day. Things do not slip through the cracks, and the tool proactively helps them manager their account load.
Cons
- Speed of the tool - several CSMs complain it takes too long to move around in the platform. We have an open ticket and are optimistic there is a fix vs. it being an inherent issue in the tool.
It's important, and we use Tableau to visualize key Gainsight fields for our executive team when accounts are "at risk".
- We use Gainsight to improve retention and boost employee efficiency. It is the key tool in allowing us to scale globally and grow 40% YOY.
