What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

Gainsight is equipped with all the essential tools to build or revamp your CS organization. Its features allow you to easily document client goals, mitigate client risks, and create automated or semi-automated workflows that enable data-driven actions, streamlining your CS processes. My company has found partical use in features like Health Score in which you can assign a certain score to each individual client. We have used this score to strucuture how our CSMs territory plan on a day-to-day basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

We have noticed some issues with addoption on our side which is more of an internal issue. Additionally, sometimes there appears to be a disconnect with Gainsight product and the customer, pushed updates that don't make sense and then are reverted, tool limitations that from our perspective should be a slight tweak on product side to make tool much better. Overall we have still had a positive experience! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It allows us to document our clients goals and progress them to completion. It allows us to midigate risk in our clients by picking up on automated and non-automated risk indicators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

As a CSM, Gainsight is the perfect tool to allow us to log our CS engagements with customers and centralise important information about the customer in one platform rather than in separate platforms. I use it everyday, predominantly ensuring the C360 account attributes are updated, customer health and timeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

Using Gainsight within SFDC and being based in APAC, often I find Gainsight can be a little slower than I want. The logging of emails in Gmail isn't the greatest, the previous version was better! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gainsight Customer Success:

Absolutely consider it as it is a very powerful CS tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Centralising majority of the CSM activity in the one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

I use Gainsight every day as my primary customer success tool. We had a really talented admin set it up for us so I don't know how much of what we use is standard, but a few features we've really loved include:

- Risk CTAs: Every week the CS team meets with CX, Product, Engineering, and Support leadership to review every risk for every customer and assign ownership for next steps. Gainsight makes this so easy and transparent!

- Usage dashboards: As a SaaS company, we live an die by usage. Gainsight allows us to see usage trends on the home page and even automatically updates the health score if usage has declined for too many weeks in a row.

- Health Scores: We have a complex algorithm but we use the health score for board level reporting and forecasting and it's become an essential part of our quarterly goal setting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

I do think that Success Plans are kind of clumsy. The CS team has figured them out but we've struggled to get our AEs or other supporting teams on board with the Success Plan -> Objective -> Subtask model. To them, customers buy Outcomes and our Success Plans, as configured today, make it difficult to determine 1) When customers achieved First Value and 2) When they achieved ROI on their Business Outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We previously had almost no visibility into customer health, forecasting, or risk analysis. Gainsight allows us to scientifically forecast in a way that was unimagineable with other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

Customer 360 View and Healthscore features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

It doesn't offer fully automated Email Synchronization and action-based triggers in Automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Gainsight helps us solve several key challenges.

It consolidates customer data from multiple tools into one platform, giving us a clear and complete view of each customer.

With our growing customer base, we needed a way to prioritize accounts that need attention at the right time. Gainsight’s Health Score features have been essential for proactive account management and risk mitigation.

It has also helped us standardize processes, ensuring a more consistent experience for our customers.

Overall, Gainsight saves me time and allows me to rely on automated CTAs to engage with customers, eliminating the guesswork. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

Gainsight was a great tool to use and there were certain aspects of the tool that we really liked. The integration flow of data between Salesforce and Gainsight was really fast which was a big hit for us and we were using the tool almost on a daily basis to track customer churn and run playbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

The implementation of Gainsight wasn't the best we had. The organization hired a third party individual to implement Gainsight and we had the worst onboarding experience. Once we understood that the proper channel of implementation through Customer Support at GS, the tool was then implemented properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Gainsight was solving problems like tracking book of business, running campaigns for at risk customers, we had proper visibility on our numbers as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

-As a Gainsight admin, I love how easy to use it is. My favourite aspect is working with the Rule Engine and the Data Designer as they are highly customizable and flexible.

-Very helpful and responsive Gainsight Support Team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

-Difficult to troubleshoot 'Gainsight Assist' issues if users are experiencing problem (for example, as I cannot access their Outlook accounts).

-Some documentations are difficult to find or are missing when I am trying to troubleshoot issues, thus needing to contact Gainsight Support Team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

From a Salesforce/Gainsight Admin perspective, there are some limitations in Salesforce which I am able to resolve by using Gainsight. Especially when it comes to reporting flexibility, creating custom data structures, and using Rule Engine to accomplish complex automations (which I find easier to use than Salesforce Flow).
