Overall Satisfaction with Totango

Totango is used by our Customer Success Team globally and some of our Account Managers have access to this tool to view CSM's notes. The tool is imperative to the Customer Success role in identifying daily tasks for each CSM's 200+ customers. Beyond helping manage CSM's daily tasks it's also really beneficial in helping prioritize accounts based on factors like Health, Usage, ARR, and other attributes.

The SuccessPlay feature helps create automated tasks based on factors and it's been really convenient to be able to create segments quickly to filter down to specific sets of customers. The Health feature within Totango helps us create an overall picture of which of our customers are doing well and which ones need more attention. I love that we can define for ourselves what that good health looks like.

  • Easy for simple non technical users to use.
  • Quick support replies.
  • Easy to create custom dashboards IE SuccessBlocs for your KPI's.
  • They are constantly adapting to user feedback.
  • Frequent outages.
  • Integrations are lacking - would love for them to work with email providers like Outlook.
  • Integrate better with video channels like Zoom Gong, etc.
  • Better customer retention.
  • Opportunity to engage customers quicker (when they fall into poor health).
  • Better insights on customer trends.
Totango is definitely focused more on the CSM role, which is very helpful in keeping track of key metrics. I previously used Microsoft Dynamics CRM (now 365) which was more sales focused. Totango helps me visualize the data on my accounts and helps me take action sooner than I would be able to if we just had a CRM system in place.

Do you think Totango delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Yes

Did Totango live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Totango go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Totango again?

Yes

I think Totango is well suited for the majority of users, from basic to more advanced. The outages we've seen recently have been pretty frustrating as I feel like the majority of my job is based out of this platform. Though, this just really goes to show how much I rely on the platform and organized it keeps me.

Totango might not be the best fit if you need a very highly customizable platform. Totango can offer some customization but I've definitely run into some issues with segments and trying to setup reports where the system isn't configured to handle my requests. In my case, we aren't able to pull very useful data on usage within our platform so I need to rely on another tool for this.
