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

Gainsight is a comprehensive that my team is using to help manage our customer lifecycle daily. The best features that I use daily are the dashboards and CTA Cockpit where I can get a clear workflow of actions and attention needed for my clients. From these entry points I can dive into specific success paths with milestone tracking, activity tracking, and risk management. Gainsight makes visibility of customer health and engagement easy and accessible. I can tag in colleagues and see their progress on requests and easily engage my customer along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

The least helpful thing about Gainsight right now is the lack of maturity/adoption at my place of business. We still have different teams using disparate systems and so sometimes things that I expect to be in Gainsight still have to jump back to Salesforce or other software in use around the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Gainsight CS is helping me to address the problems of strategic planning, roadmaps, milestone management, and lifecycle tracking. Through gainsight I can see contract renewal/end dates at a glance, track calls to action that are generated manually based on needs of my client or by my leadership team based on triggers they set (such as a marketing campaign or high-awareness activity). It's intuitive, thorough, and functional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

What I love most about Gainsight is the ability to keep track of every single interaction you have with an account or about an account. I like that there are different dashboards to view various forms of data. I think it is a fantastic tool to organize your accounts, I can't imagine a better method. As a CSM with over 1400 accounts, the integration of account summaries using AI in Gainsight has been a HUGE help in getting caught up to speed quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

It is not necessarily that I dislike these things. However, just ways to improve. Most CSMs have at most 50 accounts. However, for my team, we 1000s of accounts each. This makes it difficult for us to see certain data, specifically, the email reporting dashboard. With the ERD, only email data shows up if an email was sent through creating a CTA. As you can imagine, creating a CTA for every time you send an email to a customer can become pretty time consuming. Finding a solution for CSMs with a large number of accounts is the only suggestion I have right now as it does limit some of our abilities to see certain data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Unfortunately, I am relatively new to my role, so I have not gotten the opportunity to dive in directly with how we are using Gainsight to overcome business challenges. However, because I am a new CSM with a large number of accounts, Gainsight has benefitted me by allowing me to get up to speed quickly on all of my accounts and organize them in a central location.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

I wish it was easier to create dashboard myself, instead I have to rely on our Gainsight admin in order to do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

What i like the most its ability to provide a comprehensive view of customer , such as PnL and overall devices data.

Gainsight Customer Success have a very good integration with other systems also UI is user-friendly and Giude ME button it' really helpfull. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

Based on my experience, even though it's not directly related to Gainsight, the correct customer mapping and adding or removing customers don't seem to work as expected. Additionally, logging timelines with Outlook integration isn't straightforward when associating the timeline with the correct contract, as the dropdown list shows many entries for a single customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Gainsight provides a thorough view of customer health, which is extremely helpful as it eliminates the need to navigate through various other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

I appreciate the ability to customize dashboards in order to analyze customer data and how integrated the platform is with our other systems. Very easy to log emails and to view colleague interactions with shared customers. I use Gainsight on a daily basis for logging customer communications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

There is an initial steep learning curve for customizing your filters, etc. on your dashboards, however, the Customer Support is excellent and helps bridge any gaps in knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our team needed one platform to serve as our "one-stop shop" to viewing KPIs and other analytics for our client accounts. Gainsight is proving to be a valuable asset as it limits the number of systems we have to visit in order to view information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

I took on our case study process unexpectedly last year, and was absolutely thrilled to get access to GS having seen it in action before. From a visibility standpoint, the tool is super easy to use and provides me a ton of insight into a user's account in just a few seconds. I'm able to pull up specific information I never had access to before. From my position still working on customer testimonials, it's vital to understanding our users, their needs, and what they love about our product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

I can't think of anything, honestly. I've had a great experience with GS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GS provides me great insight into how our users are using our product. As someone responsible for working with CS to identify users for testimonials, this level of intel is much, much more than I've had access to before and is tremendously valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

Gainsight is a great tool when used to summarize meetings and reflect customer sentiment. I use it almost daily to keep notes, memorialize important conversations and reflect who all key players are so I am able to follow up. Having all those resources at my fingertips is invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

There is nothing that I dislike---every company can customize what they want in GS so if there are some menu items that are not really applicable I am not sure that is GS or my companies customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having all of the information in one space. You can see where you have been, idenify past issues and helps you to formualte a game plan for where you want to go. If a customer has "red flags' that you need to be aware of they are noted as well as any current discussions about customer interest in product upsell. They help me prepare for upcoming meetings so I can speak in detail at my next business review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

I like the easy to use feature to log emails sent and create a work note for a customer call. You can create different templates in the app to fit your needs and allow you to document information about customers in an efficient and detailed manner. On the company record, different aspects such as the timeline and the user notes allow you to obtain a quick snapshot of the customer. This keeps everyone on the team in the loop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

This may be specific to my team and departement, but I haven't found the most user friendly way to set up calendar reminders on when a cadence is due. We tried using CTAs to create reminders, but you can only assign these to a single person, and does not work for our group model. It would be nice to see a way to create a shared dashboard in the app for multiple people to access in order to manage customer accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Documentation of cadence notes, reminders on customer cadence touchpoints, and a quick summary of the customer's account (customer number, SOW, user notes, general customer information, and timeline) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

I appreciate that it allows me to log all customer interactions in one place. I can log health scores, calls, emails, meetings, and more, and that can all be seen by several other colleagues within my company. I can access the dashboards my company has set up for me to ensure I'm celebrating wins and supporitng risks. I am also able to submit CSQLs, Customer Advocates, review CSAT, log and monitor risks, create custom cockpit views, schedule professional learing for customers, and so much more! I'm able to increase my productivity and effectiveness all with one tool. I've also consumed all of the CS End User courses in Gainsight University. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

The only thing I dislike is that our company isn't adopting the additional features as fast as I wish they would. I'm a power user, and I'm eager for more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Everything is in one place now and all other roles I work closely with in my company also have access to see what I've logged for our common customers. I don't have to use multiple tools to get the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Success?

Gainsight connects with a lot of tooling, making it easy to have cutsomer account details all in one place. I love the connectivtiy to gong, which also creates a quick recap and action items following calls, that are immediately logged into my customer timeline. For my customers, I can easily review previous call notes in preparation for a meeting, or while on a meeting toggle between contract details, support tickets, outstanding items, keeping me organized while also making me look like a superstar to my customers as I speak to their various quesions with ease. Highly recommend! Note -- does take an awesome and dedicated internal team to connect your tooling and take into account your needs for an optimal experience! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Success?

Some customers like to have shared/editable notes/successplans and to my knowledge, this is not possible. I can share notes and the success plan, but the customer cannot edit/add. Please correct me if I am wrong! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Almost everything in one place -- our team is still working out connectivity, but for the most part I have to keep few tooling up to date due to most tooling being connected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
