What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Communities?

We've built a "one-stop-shop" resource for our customers, which InSided's platform has helped with. Getting the site published using the inherent modules and widgets in the system was straightforward. It provided a good starting point for creating the community we thought would support our customer base. The Control backend for admins is also reasonably easy to navigate for the basics, including approving users, adding and moderating content, and viewing analytics.

The team at InSided is also open to feedback, providing opportunities to meet with their product managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Communities?

The functionality of InSided's platform is limited. If you want to do anything beyond the few widgets and modules they offer in the out-of-the-box setup, HTML and CSS are required to get it to your specifications. I would like additional nesting options in the Knowledge Base to organize support articles, video tracking to host e-learning videos in the same platform as the Knowledge Base, more buttons, and more customizability around "phrases" used across the site.

One of the most frustrating pieces is user management. You have to add users to a spreadsheet, download it, then upload it to InSided to invite them to the community instead of adding users directly with their email address. It is also limiting that user invites cannot be resent as users often miss their first invite. After their first invite, we cannot send them an email invite and must direct them to register manually. I have heard that user management will be updated, so I'm hopeful this process will be modernized soon.

I also think InSided missed the mark by not having an advocacy portion of a community. Having a dedicated place for challenges with a points system tracked per act of advocacy would be ideal, but there is nothing for this in InSided. I have set up challenges, but it's all manual through posts that could be much better done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gainsight Customer Communities solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's solving a lack of centralized resources, including a Knowledge Base of product support articles. These Knowledge Base articles help us to answer FAQs, which has in turn reduced support tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Katherine Schulte of Gainsight Customer Communities

Thanks for your review and feedback. Many of your feedback is already in progress or on our roadmap. We offer a no-code page builder to make real-time customization possible, without any help from developers. We are continuously updating our widget library and customization options to further allow customers to do this, but we’d love to engage with you to learn which customizations you’d like to make specifically without any CSS overrides.

Apart from customization, we are actively improving user management by adding more filters, allowing you to segment users and apply bulk actions. We’re also looking to improve our invites functionality next year, and we learn more about your pain points. If you reach out to your CSM, we would be more than happy to organize a session together with our product managers.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Communities?

Inisides support team is fast responding and extremely helpful. Customizing the platform to fit your companys brand is easy (plug and play).

One of the biggest reason why we pick Insided is their federate search capabilities and the embeddable. This helps our current clients get all the information they needs quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Communities?

Reporting has been a struggle for us with using this platform. Also, not having a way to email our current community members within the platform outside of the automated emails (e.g newsletter). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gainsight Customer Communities solving and how is that benefiting you?

Engagine with our current customers. Being able to share best practices, tips and tricks, and allowing our customer to callborate with each other, and learn from each other.

Also, gamification and ideation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Communities?

It has everything needed to host a community platform. The standard analytics are great! We are migrating from another system and their partnership has been great with the migration. From an admin perspective, it's pretty easy to use and get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Communities?

It would be nice if they have a standard oob integration with Oracle since we use OSVC. They do have the APIs which are helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gainsight Customer Communities solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to report on basic data such as user views/posts. In addition, we can create different user levels via configuration. Our platform was a freeware that was limited and no longer supported so simple basic features from Insided are big for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Katherine Schulte of Gainsight Customer Communities

Hi Nik- thanks for taking the time to write up such a great review. Glad we could make reporting easier for you.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Communities?

The platform is very easy to use and navigate around. And once you've got the hang of it it's very easy to create new posts that look really good in a matter of minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Communities?

The only slight negative for me was that it took a little time getting my head around some of the terminologies. For example instead of 'edit' it uses the term 'control' but this is a minor thing and once you've figured that out it's easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gainsight Customer Communities solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping us bring together our customers into one place in a community where they can share advice, questions etc about our Employee Voice platform Hive HR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

InSided is an excellent tool however the user experience could be better for Admins to easily find the features and how to manage them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gainsight Customer Communities solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since our product has some complexities, the InSided Online Community Platform helps us connect our users where they can talk, discuss, and ask for help about how to use our product better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
