Overall Satisfaction with Gainsight CS

We're trying to combat churn, scale our renewals and CS team, and consolidate and get clearer insights from our data.

Pros

  • Automate Health Scores
  • Custom Views for Data
  • Risk Management

Cons

  • Affordability and scalability without multiple admins
  • Nothing yet because we're still implementing, but looking forward to seeing the results
Gainsight is extremely customizable. Due to that reason it requires a dedicated admin who can spend time learning and using the system.
Never used another tool like Gainisight

Using Gainsight CS

30 - Our primary users of Gainsight all reside in our customer success organization. Customer success managers, reliability success managers, customer care, our renewals manager, and of course our customer success operations team. We also give our sales and delivery teams access to view elements of our Gainsight instance and will be expanding their use cases.
1 - Anyone can learn to use Gainsight if they can grasp basic logic and are willing to put in the time and effort. I personally completed all of the free admin courses Gainsight offers in addition to the paid certification and have found them to be valuable. But what's most valuable is getting in the tool and building out solutions that your team needs - that's the best way to learn.
