Totango seemed the best way to have quick wins, long term wins, and work through optimizations and iterations along the way. We could launch piecemeal and adapt to our business needs as we saw value in Totango, instead of having to create a masterpiece that would be complex to …

Chose Totango
Totango was selected before I joined the business as it was cheaper and more flexible. The fact that it is working independently from SalesForce is a major benefit as our SalesForce instance is not 100% reliable.
Initially [we were] with Gainsight, but their modifications to the UI and inability to work at Contract level in Salesforce really killed it for us. We used Gainsight 3 years prior to switching to Totango. Both were limited rollout to the Elite CSM team followed by broader …
Two main gaps made us choosing Totango instead of Gainsight: 1. Pricing - We do believe Gainsight has a great product and service, but our company can't afford it before scaling. 2. Flexibility of onboarding - For us, the fast implementation and the lean mindset is really …
The price was a big factor for similar features. Although the other system had more features and a cleaner/more complete integration with Salesforce (as a Salesforce extension), we didn't need all the bells and whistles a this point.
We selected Totango over other products because of the balance between sophisticated functionality (like customized health categorization based on usage) and a reasonable price point.
We had web demos and multiple phone calls with several other companies that advertised customer success software. We also spoke with friends at other organizations that are in customer success to discuss their tools, processes, and experience with various venders. Overall, we …
I started at the organization after Totango was selected, but I hear the decision was based on how intuitive the solution was, and how it could integrate with the other solutions in-house. At prior companies, the reporting suite had been the primary focus. One company in …
It depends on the problem you are trying to solve. The overall industry and role of customer success is still growing and many organizations are still trying to get their head around it. However, as a SaaS organization you very likely recognize the need to improve your …
Gainsight was looked at as well, and Totango came out on top for 2 reasons. Cost and usability. Totango truly is in a class by itself as compared to Gainsight.
I was not involved in the initial evaluation of customer success tools. We are now evaluating Gainsight as part of our renewal process. We are looking to make sure they can integrate with outside data sources including Salesforce and want to be able to get more granular insight …
We used Salesforce extensively for several years and Totango integrates directly into Salesforce, pulling data into their product as well as pushing data back to Salesforce. As they add new functionality it quickly and easily integrates into Salesforce through the API.
The system is good for Customer Success teams to get started and if all the users are updating it responsibly. There are not many checks and balances in the system so your team will have to be disciplined. The reason why I have not been generous with my rating is only because of the slow nature of support and upgrades to the product.
for a CSM it´s marvelous, you have in one window everything,the agenda for your day by day work, the workload you have in a day,all the customers database and call history added by tasks and toutch points, the to do thing in each customer you know what to do next, with renewal you hace an digital engadgement with customers inform they need to renew in order to keep using the app.
Integrations -- in my experience, they constantly break and disconnect.
Implementation -- I feel it was a HUGE challenge to set-up our environment. It took over 200 hours and it didn't work.
Communication -- during implementation/onboarding, in my opinion, we were mislead on how to create some of our custom data objects and it ended up being a big waste of time since the approach we were instructed to use ended up being incorrect.
I personally believe Totango is the right Customer Success Tool for me, my team, and my organization. I couldn't find limitations until now, it's capabilities are on point and it's very scalable. of course, transitioning to another tool would mean a lot of hours and training, and would expose risks
It is easy to use and understand, and simple to follow day to day. Logging notes and tasks is one of the key areas this is utilised along with tracking reports and accessing key data points for conversations with customers which is helpful. Mobile app helps too to access information on the go.
I have yet to experience any downtime with Totango (knock on wood) so reliability has been really top tier since we were onboarded. Given that the support team has been really helpful so far, I can imagine should downtime every be the case, they'll be able to communicate proactively/effectively on the current state of the platform
At times the integration sync can be really slow when it comes to touchpoints. I can't say the same for customer health syncing, but I do tend to notice the lag from email syncing, and in those cases, I will need to refresh the Totango page a couple of times or wait a couple of extra seconds/minutes for it to show up.
When we get issues with Strikedeck, we raise it internally with the Strikedeck admin team. They then contact Strikedeck and raise a support ticket. The turnaround time is quick quick. But from my personal use of Strikedeck, I have only come across few situations where a support ticket is raised with Strikedeck.
I give Totango a support rating of 10 because I can always get support whenever needed. If its a technical issue, I know I can email their support team for help. If it's a more in depth question with respect to our instance of Totango, I can reach out to our CSM and always get help in a very reasonable amount of time. I always look to Totango as the standard when I think of how to best communicate and support our own customers.
Our CSM did a great job of conducting the training so we understand, at the very least, the functionality that is directly relevant to us. This also allowed us to train our own new team mates when onboarding based on the training flow that was first presented to us. This was also conducted as a interactive sessions, as training are notoriously known to be dry
Totango has been easy for our team to integrate most of our new features into, which is great considering we have to factor in the customers' usage of the new features into all of the health and usage metrics we have. It has taken a while to integrate our second product however, which is why I would rank this a 7.
Pipedrive is a great CRM for Sales purposes but it doesnt give much tools for CX management. Totango is all the opposite, it is an excellent product for Customer Management . We currently use both platforms integrated with each other and it gives great results to both Sales and Customer Success teams
Information keeps missing and changing in totango . Because of that there is are lot of problems with it. We need to manually keep the backup in an another file. More over if in case we take the backup its so hard to track since its all in numbers. Totango can be much better if the cloud storage is working fine. My company is planning to discontinue due to this factor
