Considered Both Products
Gainsight PX
Chose Gainsight PX
Unfortunately, I haven't used any other product like Gainsight PX so will move to the next question.
Chose Gainsight PX
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 …
Chose Gainsight PX
We leaned towards Gainsight PX because of the tight integration with Gainsight. Implementations were somewhat similar but the ease of mapping for all features and modules was superior for PX.
Chose Gainsight PX
Because of better UI then the competitors. Also the usage statistics were well drafted in graphs and were easy to understand.
Chose Gainsight PX
It's been a couple years since I've used Pendo and admittedly we were not set up in the best way for Pendo to work like we have PX. Specifically I am referring to how our elements were tagged.

That being said, here is what I recall as main differences:
Chose Gainsight PX
The feature on Gainsight PX are easy to understand and implement in the solution, the pricing is also very competitive and functionalities like Customer health score, Customer monitoring, playbooks, surveys etc helps us to provide great insight to the team.
Chose Gainsight PX
Heap has a great value proposition and very nice user experience. But it lacks the clear funnel analysis that Gainsight PX provides. Plus Heap also does not have integration with a lot of CRMs and Customer data platforms. Also, Additionally if you go in the market to find Heap …
Chose Gainsight PX
I did not select Gainsight and we recently switched some of our products to other software which give us better targeting options but are more difficult to implement.
Chose Gainsight PX
Mixpanel was much less mature when we ditched it for Gainsight, and the Salesforce integration was very important to us, and Gainsight was the main service that offered it at the time. Mixpanel is probably better today if you look at the big picture, and don't need a specific …
Chose Gainsight PX
Churnzero is similar in its NPS and walk-through abilities as is user IQ but neither fits in the exact same category. Px is unique to anything I've used for the data extraction it offers. It's not a CS tool like those I mentioned but it is easily the best in terms of tracking …
Chose Gainsight PX
HelpHero is a very flexible and powerful walkthrough tool. We've used it alongside PX. We still use PX for most customer messages, CES surveys, and in-app badges.

I also evaluated Pendo, WalkMe, and a few other DAPs.
Chose Gainsight PX
I trusted Gainsight PX from the start since I am familiar with other Gainsight products.
Chose Gainsight PX
We have explored a few options this year and found that Gainsight PX was still the best option for us.
Chose Gainsight PX
Between the products analyzed, Pendo and Gainsight PX were most complete/mature. At the time, Pendo's UI seemed more intuitive than Gainsight PX. Chameleon and Appcues seemed easiest to use, but were lacking some of the functionality we were looking for. Ultimately chose …
Chose Gainsight PX
Working with both Gainsight PX and Mixpanel, my experience has been that the integration of Gainsight PX was much easier. Additionally controlling profiles and personas to make sure each group is getting the data they need, and only the data they should see, is easier with …
Chose Gainsight PX
We chose Gainsight PX over Pendo because of the connector with Gainsight CS for the Customer Success Team.
Chose Gainsight PX
The main reason is that Gainsight PX offers a perfect combo - analytics and customer engagement. That allows us to make the engagement contextual, based on real-time analytics results.
Chose Gainsight PX
WalkMe: while the in-app engagements were powerful, there was no email capability, and the analytics were an afterthought (rather than a core part of the solution).
WhatFix: the concept was great; the in-app engagements could be made into documentation and videos. However, we …
Roadmunk
Chose Roadmunk
Roadmunk beats Aha! through visualization and Gantt connections between work items. We originally turned to Lucid (Spark and Chart) and Miro to get away from Aha's difficulties, but those platforms presented significant challenges in terms of relationships and dependencies.
Chose Roadmunk
We've used Google Calendar, Microsoft Office products, Trello, and others. Roadmunk seems to combine the best of all of those, and then offers a little more.
Chose Roadmunk
I was not involved in product selection for Roadmunk, but for our business need, it is much lighter weight and easier to onboard and use than Aha!
Chose Roadmunk
Roadmunk has an actual product management workflow design built into it vs trying to use eg generic e-post-it software like Trello. Trello is better at free-forming prioritization, which is actually much better than (again) the awkward item navigation in Roadmunk, but the …
Chose Roadmunk
Much easier to use Roadmunk than PowerPoint. The template is already set and the box heights are fixed. Having less flexibility is actually useful here, since you don’t have to build everything from scratch, you can just focus on the insights. The Gantt chart functionality in …
Chose Roadmunk
We moved from Roadmunk to Jira to consolidate platforms.
Chose Roadmunk
To be quite transparent, Roadmunk was the cheaper option. However, it also provided a ready-to-use solution for the team that required little to no training to get up and running. It provided the needed results almost from Day 1. Aha! had the more robust feature set and the …
Chose Roadmunk
In my opinon Roadmunk has the best UX and very friendly interface. The decision to purchase Roadmunk was based also on the great customer service and help provided by the team. Roadmunk team is open to suggestions and is constantly working on their product. It's great to see …

Gainsight PXRoadmunk
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Roadmunk allows us to configure and share customized views of our roadmaps. As a platform, it has demonstrated progress in its scalability and performance, which has accommodated the growth our team has seen over the last two-plus years. Particular strengths include configurability and customization, along with options for views, exports, and sharing with internal and external audiences.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Collaboration – Roadmunk makes it very easy to work and edit within a team structure.
  • User Experience – The usability of the product made it quite easy for the entirety of the team to hit the ground running (i.e. very little training was required).
  • Rollups – Each product line and therefore each product owner could easily focus on their particular roadmap without having to sort through the master roadmap making it highly efficient, while at the same time making it quite easy to pull all updates into one high-level document.

Cons
  • 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.
Read full review
  • The fact that you have to add a date to everything; dates stick to people’s minds.
  • Connecting bars to milestones; unclear which to use when.
  • Collaboration isn’t great; can’t track changes, add comments, etc.

Usability
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.

Performance has improved meaningfully over the last 12 months or so, especially in our views that contain many roadmap items. Some challenges remain, however, particularly when changing the timeline and in scenarios of multiple users interacting with the roadmap simultaneously.

Support Rating
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 Roadmunk team has been great to work with...whether proactive communications about new features or the occasional outage, or when we reach out to them with feature requests, assistance/support, or even license management and renewals - they are top notch.

Roadmunk has an actual product management workflow design built into it vs trying to use eg generic e-post-it software like Trello. Trello is better at free-forming prioritization, which is actually much better than (again) the awkward item navigation in Roadmunk, but the other Roadmunk advantages post-prioritization win out in the end.

Return on Investment
  • 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.
Read full review
  • Roadmunk has reduced the number of meetings that product needs to attend with customers by 20-25%
  • Roadmunk has eliminated a whole set of churn in our workstream management tool (JIRA) by abstracting the planning step away from the steps where we monitor work progress

Gainsight PX Screenshots

Screenshot of Access all of your key metrics in one place.Screenshot of PX Dashboards offer an interactive way of viewing data. By default, Gainsight provides you with the Gainsight PX Dashboard, but you can create separate Dashboards for each user, based on their requirements. 

For example, you can create a Dashboard, set it to private and grant access only to the top-level executives who are interested in viewing the performance of company KPIs. You can create a Dashboard for a Product Manager and include widgets which show key metrics for the product they own.Screenshot of Gainsight PX connects directly to your CRM and other customer data sources, letting you leverage custom events with no limits on what you can explore – all without using any query language.

Track specific events and compare any number of different cohorts and behaviors to learn more about a specific behavior or validate a specific hypothesis. You can use the group by functionality to aggregate results based on specific fields, and you can analyze custom event properties based on the property values. This may come handy when you want to measure the event properties such as video play counts or monetary values you're passing to Gainsight PX via custom events.Screenshot of Product Mapper® is an easy to use way of describing your product features with a simple "point, click and describe."   Each mapped feature can be viewed hierarchically within your Product Feature Tree®.   

Features can be organized in any way that makes sense for your particular application.  For example, you can organize by modules and features or you can nest sub-modules under modules and add features at any level.Screenshot of You can use existing templates while setting up Guide engagements. You can even save the newly created/modified template and use the saved template in the future in order to save time.
