Overall Satisfaction with Totango
We're using Totango as our main customer success tool on the Success team itself. Unfortunately, while we'd love to have the entire org use it, we haven't gotten the buy-in for it (and that would be totally out of budget considering its price point).We use it for insights on current customers, track our relationships and touchpoints there, and build automated reporting/campaigns to better serve our clients. That said, getting Totango to work with our various systems has always been a chore, so it requires many other teams to work on data/integrations to get it to work.
- Client profiles.
- Campaigns.
- Touchpoint tracking.
- Segments.
- Sometimes segment options/tools are really opaque. There have been times where a certain data point or filter should work, but isn't and no one can tell us why.
- I have no idea how Toatngo's default data values are calculated or why they're calculated the way they are.
- SuccessBlocs are hard to understand.
- We constantly get bad/junk accounts automatically imported into our system via our Salesforce integration. This is another one of those things that were hard to troubleshoot (both for us and Totango), but really slows down our ability to use the tool.
On the whole, it can be really easy to use! Prior to Totango, we had no way to really check up on how clients were doing. Now we do! This has opened us up to new problems, though - mainly, trying to figure out good ways to engage these clients. This isn't a bad thing! We wouldn't have opened that door without Totango's tools giving us the keys.
- Increased customer visibilty - this is a huge win!
- Totango has forced us to reevaluate how we work with client after the inital point of sale.
- Increased visibility on account interactions between teams. This lets us works more collaboratively
Working with Totango has forced us to think about customer goals at all. It sounds wild, but we didn't really think about goals until our use of Totango. We still haven't nailed it down, but being able to minutely change health profiles, for example, has helped to start some great conversations. Client lifecycles are now just part of our nomenclature.
