Overall Satisfaction with Gainsight CS

Gainsight solves many business problems for my organization. Before our adoption of Gainsight, we had no metrics about our customer usage, their overall health as a customer, or the personas with which we were engaged.

We now use data to drive customer interactions, orchestrate journeys based on customer segments, and can proactively monitor risk or buying signs.

Gainsight has also replaced our old surveying tools, to allow us to run a more holistic VOC program.
  • Risk Management
  • Creates Calls to Action, to drive outcomes
  • Measures accounts based on multiple measures, not just the CSM's Sentiment
  • Sometimes tying Salesforce Data into Gainsight objects can be challenging. (I don't believe this is a true Gainsight limitation)
  • I would love to see the ability to create a dashboard directly from JO Analytics, to help save time recreating measure the program analytics already provide. (Since the JO program analytics aren't extensible to everyone, a dashboard needs to be created )
  • Gainsight has allowed us to consolidate our tool stack
  • We have seen a return using Adoption Explorer to automate alerting for drops in usage which was a time suck for my team before
We went through an evaluation of ChurnZero, which did not have the ability to pull in usage from complex data sets or to visualize it natively.

ChurnZero did not offer the ability to run surveys or NPS which would have required additional tooling and investment.

Do you think Gainsight CS delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Gainsight CS's feature set?

Yes

Did Gainsight CS live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Gainsight CS go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Gainsight CS again?

Yes

From a user perspective, it is incredibly intuitive. There are some Administration gains that could be added, but if you are willing to invest the time to understand it you can pick it up quickly.
It manages the customer journey and allows CSM's to spend their time wisely where help is needed. It allows your organization to scale, and send things on their BEHALF that they are managing themselves today which are not value-adding exercises. Think about the ability to identify customers that are not upgrading to your latest technology, and driving them to do so on the CSM's behalf.
