Pros and cons

ChurnZero is super easy to use, which makes for an easy rollout process internally. The application has allowed my team to be more proactive and even better, more timely in their proactive outreach.
Great customer service! my main contract is always happy to help. Great way to keep track of client usage/adoption.
The CSM we have been assigned to is great, and is always very responsive when I have a question. CZ has certainly given us a glimpse into our customers that we did not have before.
The HelpScout sync only shows a small preview and formats badly to where the small preview takes up the whole page making it difficult to easily see past conversations.
There's nothing I can say that I outright dislike about ChurnZero, just 'wish-list' types of things that come up.
Data is pushed in 1 day after it occurs. Lack of time of day activity is occurring reporting, only total for the day.

Great software to manage your customers and reduce churn

Reviewed 4 years ago

Excellent. ChurnZero assisted us to keep our churn under control and reduce it. Their support team is super efficient and fast and our queries quickly addressed.

Pros

Very simple to to use when we compared it with competitors, integration to other software like SalesForce and Zendesk was smooth. ChurnZero is the 'working platform' in which our CSMs manage their daily operations, good dashboards exists to provide 360 view of your customers overall health.

Cons

I'm hoping that in the soon future they'll develop some AI capabilities that will be able to predict churn according to data analysis.

Optimize your CSM team with ease!

Reviewed 3 years ago

We had the need to make our CSMs more efficient. With the high number of accounts each is set to manage, we needed a way to automate as much as we could and have a way to serve up the information rather than spend time researching it all. ChurnZero made that possible. From the initial sales process, through implementation and now in production, the ChurnZero team continues to be phenomenal to work with.

Pros

ChurnZero is very easy to use. The automation of tasks, emails, etc that make the proactive aspect of the CSM role so valuable are the most beneficial parts of the tool. Being able to segment customers and determine targets makes sifting through data a thing of the past.

Cons

I like this feature, but I think it could use some enhancements. Currently only able to add certain segments to command center for quick look. And perhaps opening up the ability to make more changes to the opp data coming from SFDC - not a deal breaker, but would love to be able to live in just ChurnZero for all updates.

Good platform, some integration issues

Reviewed 2 years ago

Prior we were only using Salesforce for CSM management so this platform helped a lot but there are some shortcomings.

Pros

Overall this product gives the customer success team the information they need to see. It is simple for them to see aggregate NPS Score, Revenue, etc of all their accounts.

Cons

The integration with Salesforce is not designed well- its pretty basic, if you have a more complicated SF setup it may not integrate well. Example- it does not integrate with custom objects, we use a custom Task/Event object for activities rather than the out of the box one and churner activities will not sync with out custom object.

Exceptional Customer Service to Meet Unique Needs

Reviewed 2 years ago

The team is comprised of true professionals who seem to enjoy their job and excel at customer success.

Pros

Churnzero's customer service is exceptional. Our CSM and the CX Team are quick to help understand our unique needs or issues and offer solutions.

Cons

This is a robust piece of software. It takes time and effort to fully understand how to best utilize Churnzero for maximum effect. If you choose to only use 25% of the available features, you'll still be much further ahead of your competitor who is not using anything to manage engagement and adoption.

Great CS product for medium sized businesses

Reviewed 4 years ago

Before CZ we were managing our customers and churn with various different user metrics buried within our own platform, multiple spreadsheets and reports, and different BI and martech software. CZ has been able to surface all of those data points into one central platform. Now we have valuable data that can be accessed easily, segmented and acted upon quickly.

Pros

Highly customizable but not too cumbersome. Support on the ChurnZero side has been great. They are quick to respond and provide valuable insight with each interaction

Cons

Like most products in the same space the implementation was long (and still ongoing to a point). There is also a pretty steep learning curve. However, it can be intuitive once you know what you're doing.

Reviewed a year ago

[SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been fantastic. Whenever we have an idea or an issue, she's always quick to jump on a call and brainstorm solutions with us.

Pros

I like how you can send out a combination of email cadences (plays) but also tie in internal tasks for yourself, update account details, etc.

Cons

contact management between salesforce and churnzero is difficult to manage. If there's a duplicate contact created, you have to contact support to have them delete it for you.

Fight churn like a pro

Reviewed 4 years ago

If you own or run a SaaS company, don't let your customers leave you. Use ChurnZero to keep them hooked.

Pros

ChurnZero is a customer success software for SaaS that lets them reduce churn rate by employing techniques like segmentation, health scores, NPS, and automation. I have used multiple tools to deal with churn and burn for SaaS companies and apps. ChurnZero is one of the best among them all primarily due to its ability to anticipate churn based on multiple factors which lets you take precautionary steps to reduce churn.

Cons

The tool needs to fix bugs. It needs to add new features.

Completely customizable for your needs

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

We integrated our product in with ChurnZero so that we could track how our customers are using our product and what features they like and what features are not getting use as much. I love that we were to complete customize what data from our product gets pushed to ChrunZero. At every step of the integration we worked with our ChurnZero account representative and she was so helpful and very tentative to our needs and questions.

Cons

The integration has taken longer than we expected it to take, and are still working on some minor kinks.

Perfect for what we needed

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

The product is flexible enough for our diverse customer base. Some need high touch and others we want to automate. We have that choice and flexibility with ChurnZero. Their implementation team is very good and has put in the time to make sure we are seeing results.

Cons

We were a little aggressive setting up a ton of events from the start so implementation has been intense although its completely self imposed. I would suggest starting off with just the events and properties that are must haves and add the nice to haves later.

Almost one year in, and zero regrets

Reviewed 2 years ago

ChurnZero is slowly but surely making us better at Customer Success as a team. Every journey we implement, every play we create, every report we run, makes us more process-driven and less reactionary. Our ChurnZero CSM has been amazingly helpful, our onboarding specialist helped us navigate the hellscape that was our system previously, and the support team have been quick and excellent. While the software itself is great, the experience of working with the team over at ChurnZero, especially our CSM Bree, is what tips them over the bar into excellence. ChurnZero are our partners in customer success, not just our vendor.

Pros

ChurnZero has an extreme emphasis on the user experience of the Customer Success Manager. This is absolutely vital. Every second one of our team spends wasting thought on "Why isn't the system working" or frustratedly struggling with some unintuitive menu is one not spent tending their book of customers. ChurnZero comes at customer success from the right angle - when customer success managers are happy and equipped, they succeed.

Cons

The software isn't great at handling a multi-tenant or multi-product subscription-based SaaS product like ours. We're going to have to do some major restructuring to our account structure for the ChurnZero event tracking to actually get usable data. This is because at the time of writing journeys and events are tied to accounts rather than subscriptions or sites, which is a level of abstraction the system is not set up for. This structure is fine for single-site customers, but when a customer can have multiple products and subscriptions on their account, it gets clunky and mixed up fast.

A Must-Have for Customer Success

Reviewed 6 years ago

Increased visibility into how and when our customers interact with our platform. The ability to communicate with customers in a scalable way. The ability to build out trends and usage benchmarks as they relate to the customer journey.

Pros

ChurnZero revolutionized the way we communicate with our customers. Not only can I build targeted cadences (that include email and in-app messages) based on activity, but I can quickly search for a particular user to determine how they've interacted with our platform prior to a call. The cadence feature, known as Playbooks, is KEY to engaging with customers in a scalable fashion. I can build Plays...

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of anything. It'd be great if we could see which browser a user is on when interacting with our tool - this is key for us as we don't support particular browsers. When "bugs" are reported by users, we almost always ask about the browser. It'd be awesome to know this during troubleshooting but also to build a Play around this to remind folks to use a compatible browser. I'm fairly certain this is on ChurnZero's roadmap though.

Easy to use platform providing user engagement in real time

Reviewed 5 years ago

Improved loyalty and reduced churn. Ability to easily send NPS surveys and tabulate results and address issues as required.

Pros

Simple set-up, easy to use, great customer support. The product easily interfaced to our CRM and customer cloud-based SaaS platform and provides real-time insight to client usage and behavior. It is an awesome tool to segment your client base into manageable areas and to target each segment with automated campaigns to address concerns or give shout outs. Great at NPS surveys and allows quick replies to comments/scores. Over-all highly recommend to improve retention and reduce churn.

Cons

Ability to predict client churn is based on criteria chosen by company then red, yellow, green colors indicate those groups most likely to churn. In our case, criteria is difficult to determine and we change choices based on input from sales, support, etc. Not easy to see if our choices are the best determination in churn prediction however that is on us. ChurnZero does not automatically calculate churn percentages of clients by day, week, month, etc. exporting to data to spreadsheets still required.

Churnzero provides insight into Customer use and patterns that are complete gamechangers!

Reviewed 5 years ago

Provides visibility on client use of our software. Helps identify possible gaps in use, where I can step in as the account manager to not only help our clients fully utilize our tools, but also show the value for clients to add on features that may not be currently in their system in order to make their day to day jobs easier.

Pros

Tool provides the great insight! This tool is like having a cheat sheet on how our clients engage with our software. Most clients have a million tasks they have to deal with, instead of trying to gauge client use through asking, this provides tangible and reportable data on client usage.

Cons

Still waiting on in app messaging. I know this already on the roadmap, and available for a lot of other users, I am really just anxious to go live company wide over here.

Managing Customer Accounts is Easy with ChurnZero

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, my experience has been great using ChurnZero. It's easy to manage accounts, send bulk emails, and get a grasp on how all my accounts are doing without having to dive deep into each account. The reports are upfront and fully customizable.

Pros

The organization and integrations with ChurnZero make it so easy to manage all customer accounts. The marketing emails are great too.

Cons

Task Management just needs a slight tweak. Right now it's tough to quickly jot down notes on accounts without having to navigate through a few check boxes to get it added. This is what I need to fully switch over to using it for all task management.

ChurnZero allows me to easily target my contacts and reach out to my clients more efficiently!

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

This tool has made it SO easy for me to communicate with my clients in the right way at the right time. The segmentation tool helps tremendously with targeting my clients based on certain engagements or account attributes. The best thing about ChurnZero is how much time it has saved me in reaching out to my clients. With a book of about 260 accounts, it has been a lifesaver for me in terms of sending out important information, getting out in front of customers who need it, and most importantly - uncovering upsell opportunities. The dashboard is also extremely beneficial for me to look at my accounts who are at risk.

Cons

Previously, I felt the segmentation tool could use some work, but the team over at ChurnZero took our feedback and updated it and they are much easier to create now. The only suggestion I have is that a chat functionality could be a cool add on sometime down the road!

I use ChurnZero almost every day to create reports for our customers. It is also helpful to send Plays to customers to remind them about cool new features and upcoming events.

Cons

I think the help center could use some work. The home page is a little overwhelming and it would be nice to have an updated help center or how-to's that I can browse when I have a question about the platform.

Very Easy to Use

Reviewed 5 years ago

We are using a one to many customer success model and the ability to segment our customers and engage them using automated emails is amazing. Playbook creation is very simple so if a play isn't working you can quickly update it or create a new one. Monitoring customer usage of our software from within CZ and tracking the users customer journey, milestones and achievements are great features.

Pros

I'm a first time Customer Success Manager and have found ChurnZero very easy to use. This is especially impressive since I started my CSM role while ChurnZero was still in the implementation phase at our company. The support team has been really great too.

Cons

Sometimes it can be a bit difficult to get all the data you want into the same report. I'd attribute 80% of this issue to my newness with the system. As I understand it a new reporting module will be launched soon so I anticipate this will be a non-issue soon.
