Chose Freshsuccess
Gainsight had all of the functionality but had the price tag to match. Churnzero and ClientSuccess were also very close, and we nearly chose one of those. We didn't love the UI of ChurnZero and ClientSuccess had the best UI by far but was lacking in some of the functionality …
Chose Freshsuccess
We initially looked at Gainsight, Amity, and another which I can't remember the name of. Only Natero and Amity were within a reasonable price range. We selected Natero because the platform was significantly more polished, the reporting seemed significantly stronger in Natero, …
Chose Freshsuccess
I highly recommend and prefer using Salesforce over Natero. Salesforce allows me to pull in as many fields into a report as I would like, compared to 14 different fields into Natero. I am able to view and make changes to information much quicker than Natero. I like Salesforce …
Chose Freshsuccess
I was not a part of the Natero selection group. In the past, I've used more project management focused tools that have much more detailed options for workflows, tasks and visualizations of those pieces. This is a large gap for me. Natero has an integration to pull from SFDC, …
Chose Freshsuccess
Natero is specifically built for customer success, other tools are merely capable of some of its functions. A tool like Pendo does a great job at aiding the product manager and helps to identify features and modules that are popular, but this doesn't translate into customer …
Chose Freshsuccess
Can't really say that, at the time I had natero I was evaluating [other] options.

Likelihood to Recommend
  • Natero does an excellent job of reporting and having a lot of the data available. They don't do as well when you want to track specific metrics such as ARR. (Everything in the application is currently based in MRR)
  • Natero has done an excellent job for our smaller organization. I am not sure how it would work with a larger organization.

with Startdeliver, we could instantly know what are clients are doing in our platform, even our salesteam testing out prospects. this is such an invaluable insight to have. And by also adding an integration to a CRM, this is just a cheat code done so simply, that competitors can only look in awe.

  • The charting is relevant and detailed for customers to understand their usage of our product. The look and feel is very clean and easy to understand.
  • In the account, you can link to other documentation, which is great!

Cons
  • It's a complex platform, it can be hard to find what you're looking for if you don't know where to look.
  • There have been a few features which work correctly but can be a bit confusing to get working correctly. Fortunately, the support team is so on it, we get an answer within an hour.
  • I would have liked Natero to have a mechanism in place to nudge users of the platform to use it. This would help with getting adoption on our end. While the onboarding documentation was great, a more hands-on approach to getting users to adopt and use the platform would have helped us get up to speed earlier. It took us nearly 9 months to really start using the system which is partially due to the complexity of the integration process and partially due to the difficulty of switching over CES processes into Natero.

  • Not necessarily a bad thing, but being so simple, it could contain even more advanced features for "customer success", but however, the reason you really use Startdeliver is for its simplicity
  • could be slightly more distinct separation between customers and internal user (you confuse what is what sometimes)
  • I don't fully understand the naming and logic about their new packages, but this is subjective opinion

Usability
No answers on this topic
from its incredible UI/X, to its easy to use features, to its native integrations, and to its overall approach to easily keep track of your customer success function as such - if you are not using Startdeliver as a CS team - you must be doing something wrong, so don't hesitate.

We initially looked at Gainsight, Amity, and another which I can't remember the name of. Only Natero and Amity were within a reasonable price range. We selected Natero because the platform was significantly more polished, the reporting seemed significantly stronger in Natero, and during the sales process Natero did a better job of showing us how the functionality would work, whereas our calls with Amity were frequently filled with "it doesn't work because this is a demo account" which was a bit of a red flag.

Planhat might be a unicorn headed platform with incredible functions and features as well, but in reality, who will really use all of those features? Most CS teams just wants simplicity, not for things to become rocket science. Stay simple and go for a platform that will keep you grounded to the hardcore basics, and let your CS team do the rest.
