We're level-setting the effectiveness of our reps, and making their action lead to direct impacts to customer success.

We use Gainsight to support our customers. Specifically we are a cloud based subscription company and we are able to understand our customers better along with their ACV's and how well they are doing.

Unfortunately, our implementation has been very difficult, and I have heard the same from other companies as well.

I like the function where it alerts me when customers are getting overages and also when they have low usage. I also love the email function.

The reporting capabilities as very advanced, the support team is always able to help, and it's possible to get anything important in a couple of clicks. The interface is clear and easy to understand.

This needs to be improved. There are some strange glitches and lack of user alerts that can be very annoying.

Easy to use and very slick to navigate and enjoy working with in it every day. I like customizing dashboard to my client needs.

I will echo what others have said about Gainsight - it was a very difficult deployment.

I was pleased overall with the product and the service. I feel the product continues to evolve to serve the needs of CS management, the CSMs and other functions in the organization such as Sales.

I really like how this software helps me to manage my portfolio, goals for each account and track to completion.

They number of possibilities and integrations are endless. The team is knowledgable and they offer so many free resources for people starting out in customer success.

The key will be limiting the learning curve so we aren't overwhelmed with too many features at once.

Overall, Gainsight has some great features and the integration with Salesforce keeps the data accurate and easier to navigate.

I love the tasks feature and intuitive it is however I am still trying to figure out how I can see a full picture but we are in the set up phase.

Overall the tool has held up its end of the bargain.

It is good at tracking client communications and health score. By using success plans, we can proactively show ROI and we can create dashboards and reports without the need of other platforms.

Easy to use Customer Success Management & Analytics Tool.

Gainsight has a great user interface. It is easy to navigate and is very intuitive.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the tool. It's a required piece to the organization of my role.

The tool is REALLY hard to navigate as an admin.

Overall great -- even when we run into issues, they  are quick to help and support.

Gainsight is extremely easy to use, integrates with Salesforce, and gets me the the info I need to do my job as a customer success manager.

Permissions can be a little tricky, and often the jankyness of salesforce can shine through what this software does.

The recorded training was very long and painful.

You can't do everything out the gate because it's just too much. So you're forced to pick and choose your battles.

The comprehensive dashboard and easy to use cockpit for timeline activities.

The ability to automate and streamline all your workflows is unparalleled.

Love the ability to document all customer communication and events all in one place so that anyone can see what has been happening with a customer.

We integrate ours with Salesforce, and sometimes it's difficult to navigate between the two products.

Their support team is very good, and now that I know the system pretty well I am adept at making configuration changes quickly.

I like how simple Gainsight has been to use and implement. We have been able to accomplish more with Gainsight in 3 months than we did with Strikedeck in 3 years.

I love that you can add so many different modules or even design your own with some effort but very little cost, for a nonprofit that is great.

It gets a bit frustrating. I also hate the double authentication because I do not always have my phone with me when I need to get on the software.

Salesforce is a really great product I loved the tools used and tips to help you create sales and serve better for customers.

Salesforce is the best customer relationship management tool in the market right now. The best thing I like about this software is the features.

There is little to be said about cons. I experienced minor trouble when accessing customer support at some point which would probably be the worst of it.

I love using Salesforce. It is very user friendly and helps me be able to track my progress and create a clean pipeline.

Ref IDs are my biggest pet peeve, they don't always work and I've lost emails this way from clients. This leads to a bad consumer experience for everyone involved.

Ease of use and works great for small (that's us) or large companies it blends well with other programs is customizable and tracking is good,  reach out is also very easy to use.

If you could get the innovative nature of Salesforce to your business you would get amazing talent collection to your organizations.

An awesome CRM platform with a plethora of information to use to become the best marketer you can be.

Overall Salesforce is great and can integrate with hundreds of other platforms which makes it an amazing tool to use company wide, not just for sales.

Like I stated before, I was happy about the switch to Salesforce Lightning, but it has turned out to be great. I like that my emails and Talkdesk are integrated into Salesforce as well.

My team members use it in delivering great sales and customer service experience and it has been a great help for all of us.

This software will help you to build your sales and marketing in the industry, salesforce is a great software and value for money, so therefore I recommend it to the user.

Salesgirce is very effective when it comes to tracking the progress of each case within my organization, great tutorials to get you started and very easy to navigate through cases and serial numbers.

I like the fact that Salesforce is very flexible and customizable to my taste. It is very user friendly and the functionality is superb.

Salesforce has a lot of capabilities, it covers everything. The leads section was nice, and it was great to be able to create your own sections.

Overall, I'd strongly recommend this app because it has a very good system for coordinating corporate operation, it's very easy to use, the navigation could be improved, and the load time is fast.

So popular and so powerful for small business  is contact management, task management, opportunity tracking, collaboration tools, customer engagement tools. Flexible and easy  to use.

The integration with gmail is awesome. Being able to automatically log emails to the appropriate account instantly is such a nice feature.

I like that this platform is easy (for the most part) to use. I also find that the customer support is amazing and always willing to help.

It's also supported by awesome community and the best documentation/support in the business. The Trailblazer community leads the tech industry in training and documentation.

I hate that I have to refresh every thing but I'll deal with it for some of the other options.
