ClientSuccess
Chose ClientSuccess
Hubspot is excellent as it was an easy expansion from the sales and marketing work we were using it for. It meets our needs but isn't entirely as geared towards customer success like ClientSuccess. ClientSuccess has more bells and whistles that are out of the box vs. Hubspot, …
Chose ClientSuccess
Overall, we chose ClientSuccess over others because of the easy to use interface, the ability to tie everything we need into one place and have real-time reporting to prevent churn.
Chose ClientSuccess
We looked at a number of CRM systems. A lot of them were pricey and not designed for membership style revenue models. That's the main reason why CS works so well within our company.
Chose ClientSuccess
ClientSuccess has less amount of features and less "horsepower," however that simplicity is something that has helped us in our early days.
Chose ClientSuccess
Vs. Gainsight - I believe this solution is over-engineered and time to value is just too long for me.
Chose ClientSuccess
Our team had previously been using Hubspot CRM as a way to manage client contracts in combination with Trello for simple client progress mapping, and Client Success has eliminated the need to use either of them for client management. Hubspot is designed more for sales processes …
Chose ClientSuccess
Taking notes/logging calls is much easier.
Chose ClientSuccess
Before we evaluated ClientSuccess, we took a look at Gainsight. It is a power customer success tool and it definitely covered all the features a Customer Success team could need, but ultimately we selected ClientSuccess as a better fit for our company where we were at the …
Chose ClientSuccess
Personally, I think I have a fondness for Woopra that isn't shared by my team. ClientSuccess is clean, efficient and easy to use, but I have love for Woopra that I can't shake. That being said, we are comparing diamonds to diamonds, and I think you should go with the one that …
Chose ClientSuccess
Honestly just saw product demos, didn't evaluate hands-on. For our use case, the price point was MUCH more accommodating.
WalkMe
Chose WalkMe
I couldn't successfully implement this product for trial and found support help was delayed. In comparison, despite also being based in another country, WalkMe's support was quick to help with queries and always eager to address the issue and go above and beyond to make sure I …
Chose WalkMe
It's all about analytics and WalkMe has everything you ever needed and more!
Chose WalkMe
My understanding is that WalkMe was selected based on its capability to support our requirements for our enterprise software. We wanted a product that allows us to provide help at the point of need, provide as little or as much help to guide the user to successfully use the …
Chose WalkMe
WalkMe was much better in terms of features, implementation, and analytics. It's a market leader in the Digital Adoption space so it made sense to begin our digital adoption journey with this tool. The sales team also spent a lot of time with us in understanding our …
Chose WalkMe
Pendo didn't have react native support at the time or it would have been the solution of choice. Much better tool.
Chose WalkMe
WalkMe is an outstanding platform and its technical support is so calm and professional. Always listen to the queries well and respond out with the alternative or solution to increase a good experience of the user. The best feature of WalkMe which I like the most is the …
Chose WalkMe
WalkMe is by far more customizable and fully features compared to its competitors. This does mean it takes longer to learn all the features, however, it also means you can customize the tours to a greater degree. Most of the competitor products are between a third to half the …
Chose WalkMe
I have realized WalkMe is a great product with a lot of features and so far is the best product adoption and user onboarding tool compared to its alternatives. WalkMe is specialized in the field of product tours and walkthroughs hence making it the pioneer in the user …
Chose WalkMe
Our organization reviewed several products before selecting WalkMe as the primary tutorial platform. We chose WalkMe because our primary business tutorial need is for Salesforce. WalkMe offers an incredibly easy-to-use and understandable walk-through and integrates incredibly …
Chose WalkMe
A predecessor had originally chosen WalkMe and I decided to continue using them out of convenience, but when things didn't get better, we looked around and found alternative tools to be better.
Chose WalkMe
Our company chose to transition to our own proprietary knowledgebase system.
Chose WalkMe

Ability to make it easy for the users to use our popular products by using product-specific launchers and smart tips.

We are watching the analytics for these and they seem to work!

Chose WalkMe
Our firm rated WalkMe as best in class compared to alternatives. In addition to functionality, WalkMe university and professional services set us up to own the product and continuously improve.
Chose WalkMe
The only other personalization/on-boarding tool we have tried is Evergage. We are actually running them at the same time, each has their own strengths and weaknesses. Evergage's ability to personalize the message and be more dynamic in their campaigns is far better than those …

ClientSuccess is perfect for the growing small-to-medium business like ours. It's simple and easy enough to quickly implement as a starter solution, but also robust enough to support multiple Customer Success teams. It may fall a bit short in terms of an enterprise organization in scale, customization, and flexibility. However, I can see enterprise organizations using different instances of ClientSuccess, perhaps for different departments or sections, if those organizations didn't need overarching analytics

WalkMe is a great tool to support digital transformation efforts at an organization--it can reduce the training/learning time for both the users and the creators. It can also support onboarding, change management, data integrity, and creating a seamless connection between platforms and many others. It's not a tool for simple, intuitive platforms that do not change frequently.

Pros
  • Pulse - It is so nice to collect the pulses of my client to know if they are healthy or not. I base a lot of my interactions with clients off of pulse. It shows me how many days it's been since I last had a pulse check on someone and from there I can see if I need to reach out or not.
  • Automated Emails - It's so comforting to know that my clients are being communicated to when I haven't thought to reach out to them. I have set up a lot of automated emails and rules for when they should go out and I've had a lot of clients get in touch with me from it that need.
  • Success Cycles - It has allowed me to set up success cycles for the clients. Because of this, I know exactly how to train them and exactly where they're at in the training process.

  • No more communicating via email - conditional shoutouts to relay a message
  • Automating processes to increase productivity and reduce frustration
  • Fabulous analytics
  • Training at the point of need - no more searching for the relevant training elsewhere
  • Adding a link to automatically start any WalkMe solution from anywhere using 'Permalinks' is great!

Cons
  • The support view takes a few steps to get to the meat and potatoes.
  • The success score model can be improved to include smaller one-off campaigns. Success score is good for a campaign that has existed for a while but not for the one-off projects.

  • I would like to see some way to manage versions of the help from release to release, as currently the only way to see/roll a help item back to a time in the past is to revert to that time.
  • We had run into some issues with duplicating images in the Assets Library, but that has just been fixed!

Usability
No answers on this topic
WalkMe has done a great job of making their tool easy to use. However because it is a Firefox plugin it causes me to need another browser and sacrifice the left 2 - 3 inches of my display, when working on a laptop this makes it a bit painful. Also when publishing you can organize your list of walk-thrus, the window size is small and limited to the constraints of the WalkMe tool.

The WalkMe Support Team was phenomenal. My support rep made a genuine effort to ensure my success with using the WalkMe Software. She was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable on the software. If there was a question she did not know the answer too, she would find the answer and get back to me as soon as possible

Alternatives Considered
Our team had previously been using HubSpot CRM as a way to manage client contracts in combination with Trello for simple client progress mapping, and Client Success has eliminated the need to use either of them for client management. HubSpot is designed more for sales processes and was missing a way for our team to get an accurate view of our clients and their details. In a similar manner, Trello is designed more for task and project management and didn't provide the detail orientation we needed.

Return on Investment
  • Within the first week, leadership was able to have more visibility into the lifestage and health score of each client
  • We needed to become more proactive as an organization and this platform has allowed us to do so with real-time metrics and reporting.
  • We needed to find a way to scale our approach, especially as our Client Success organization continues to grow, and this is already helping.

  • 79% of our customers using a walk-thru agree that it has made it easy to handle their issue.
  • WalkMe has helped us lower costs associated with phone and ticket based support. Using WalkMe to promote self help over ticket creation has reduced our ticket contacts by 50%.
  • Many on our development team are leery of WalkMe. It is allowing someone outside of their department access to modify the user experience. However our leadership teams have been onboard with it.
