Gainsight PX vs. PowerReviews

It’s a robust tool that allows you to easily map and track key features and actions within your products. It also allows for in app communications to help guide the user through the path you want them to follow. The ability to connect with Gainsight CS also allows you to leverage that data to drive actions for the account team, incorporate it in health scoring, and use it to trigger digital programs. You do need a well thought out strategy for management of the platform, the data and how you will use it.

PowerReviews is a great tool for outside customers to leave reviews, however, it is not very friendly for the team that is taking the information, analyzing it, and trying to learn from it. Their website can be much improved for ease of use, additionally, it may just be my server, but it takes a lot of time for information to load, even if the review volume is 0. Just all the baggage that comes with the page loading makes it slow

• Mapping your product is easier with PX than with Google Analytics (mapping your product makes usage data appear as hits on mapped URLs, buttons, etc)
• PX is good at showing simple messaging popups to customers.
• PX Badge functionality—a persistent hover- and click-enabled popup launcher, positioned on select pages and attached to select elements—works well as a self-serve resource for users. It can be unobtrusive yet right there when needed.
• PX modal content is fully editable HTML with plenty of flexibility.
• Audience filters are really powerful. You can target users by many built-in and dev-configurable attributes, like device-type (which helped me work with mobile web users), browser, account, parts of the application visited/used in the last day, and many more.

• Their flexibility with moderation options works well for our business. We can moderate immediately, or have PowerReviews handle the first round of moderation.
• The back end reporting allows us to export and distribute review content on an automated schedule, helping our product managers get first hand feedback.
• Easy for customers to leave reviews, with some customization by product type built in and configurable for our products.
• Also relatively easy to drop visitors in to a review form for the exact product they've purchased.
• Good value compared to the other major player in the consumer review space.

Incentivized

• Generate reports based on predefined segments is not possible. This is essential for us for creating an onboarding workflow.
• On-screen guides randomly lose their mapping and need re-calibration. This might be due to our application responsive technology.
• Missing customization on certain engagements - Creating a delay is not possible for all types which is needed.

• If you lack basic coding knowledge (or don't have someone on your team to set this up) it may be a bit of a challenge to get started.
• The backend has a bit of a learning curve to it, but can be worked through easily with persistence.

I like the product, find it pretty easy to use. As we move forward, looking forward to using more of the functionality.

It is a good product, but like with every product, there is room for improvement or even just things I, as a user, would prefer, such as the ability to click on a company and have it go to Salesforce instead of Insight. It can also be difficult to find certain reports.

I have not had to contact support frequently but when I have I used the chat and my questions were answered immediately. I've also used their knowledge center, help documentation and training videos which are all very thorough. The support we've received from our Customer Success Manager has been helpful as well.

The team over at PowerReviews was always very helpful with us and our customer service team. They responded to any questions we had quickly.

I have used and evaluated a few similar products to Gainsight PX, including Appcues, WalkMe, and Pendo. I found that Gainsight PX was the most comprehensive and user-friendly platform, offering features such as customizable onboarding flows, product usage tracking, and automated customer success workflows.

PowerReviews provided the best balance of price and value. bazaarvoice is popular in the industry but when we compared pricing and features we did not see any compelling reason to spend more. PowerReviews also had the easiest team to work with in the sales process, and that has continued into the engagement.

Incentivized

• Customer Sentiment. Customers have been excited when we can show them data around usage and where we can improve.
• Deciding to remove features. We have used PX to identify features that have little to no usage which allows us to get rid of unnecessary process and maintenance.
• Identifying areas of improvement. We are able to find areas of our product that we need to focus on improving where previously we would have missed or had a tough time justifying spending time and resources.

Incentivized

• Custom components and PowerReviews API can display positive customer feedback from an element.
• In return for honest reviews and answers to customer questions, we provide genuine and authentic feedback and let customers strain new products.
• Syndicated reviews help customers see how products work in real life, which increases trust in our website/business and the products and boosts conversions.
