Overall Satisfaction with Gainsight CS

As a Senior Customer Success Manager, I rely on Gainsight CS daily. I utilize it for various tasks, such as creating Onboarding CTAs for new clients, identifying customers whose adoption rates have declined, and accessing account details for my territory. Gainsight allows me to create user-friendly dashboards to communicate team KPIs and drill-down tables for analyzing customer usage data. The AI integrations have been invaluable in providing a comprehensive view of each account. Moreover, automated playbooks and recommended next steps based on real-time data empower reps to engage prospects effectively.

Pros

  • Dashboards
  • Automatic CTA creation
  • Integrations with other platforms including Outlook, Slack, Salesforce

Cons

  • Outlook Notifications - Every time I log an email using the Gainsight CS integration, I receive a notification indicating that certain items were not saved. Unfortunately, I have not been able to disable this notification.
  • I would appreciate the option to receive notifications when account ownership changes. This could be in the form of a weekly update, a report highlighting new accounts within my ownership, or a CTA encouraging me to introduce myself to the customer base.
  • Gives me specific usage numbers to relay to customers
I feel like Gainsight CS is easy to use and understand as a new CSM.
Gainsight CSs integration with Salesforce and Outlook are far superior.

Yes

Would you buy Gainsight CS again?

Yes

Gainsight CS excels in providing an in-depth understanding of accounts. Customer Success Managers can easily access usage metrics, account details, and timeline activities. However, in my specific role, we also manage support like cases that are directly logged within Salesforce. These cases tend to be more manageable within Salesforce, as it allows us to view all activities across other teams as well.
