  • 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.

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • Love the accounts view to see all my accounts, their health and some helpful stats!
  • 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
No answers on this topic
  • 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.

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.
