ClientSuccess vs. Custify

ClientSuccess is perfect for the growing small-to-medium business like ours. It's simple and easy enough to quickly implement as a starter solution, but also robust enough to support multiple Customer Success teams. It may fall a bit short in terms of an enterprise organization in scale, customization, and flexibility. However, I can see enterprise organizations using different instances of ClientSuccess, perhaps for different departments or sections, if those organizations didn't need overarching analytics

Two big use cases where it's very well suited: onboarding of our clients and churn prevention. It just saves me so much time and helps me recommend more strategic suggestions. At the end of the day I can see my productivity being a lot higher than before having Custify.

• Pulse - It is so nice to collect the pulses of my client to know if they are healthy or not. I base a lot of my interactions with clients off of pulse. It shows me how many days it's been since I last had a pulse check on someone and from there I can see if I need to reach out or not.
• Automated Emails - It's so comforting to know that my clients are being communicated to when I haven't thought to reach out to them. I have set up a lot of automated emails and rules for when they should go out and I've had a lot of clients get in touch with me from it that need.
• Success Cycles - It has allowed me to set up success cycles for the clients. Because of this, I know exactly how to train them and exactly where they're at in the training process.

• 360 degree view of anything that has to do with a single account, including health score history across many elements, all the lifecycles of that account, different usage and adoption trends on multiple users in the same account, and more.
• Getting multiple health scores and trends on one screen.

• The support view takes a few steps to get to the meat and potatoes.
• The success score model can be improved to include smaller one-off campaigns. Success score is good for a campaign that has existed for a while but not for the one-off projects.

• My biggest surprise was that we needed to dedicate more time than I thought at the beginning to learn the software more deeply. The interface is the easiest I've used, but there are just many possibilities this software opened up for us, and we wanted to make sure we're familiar with them.

Overall a great tool with very useful features. It's UI seems a bit clunky and there is no full dashboard. Without these it takes a bit of work to find what you need and get an overview of current activity. Also, implementing everything takes a bit of work. I would recommend it to any saas that is serious about scaling and has a customer success dept

They are SUPER responsive...even for late night inquiries.

I personally have never used their support but i know our business has had multiple calls with them and they have always been helpful. I would imagine they are helpful as they have always had responses for our questions and have never left us hanging. Highly rate their support team

Our team had previously been using HubSpot CRM as a way to manage client contracts in combination with Trello for simple client progress mapping, and Client Success has eliminated the need to use either of them for client management. HubSpot is designed more for sales processes and was missing a way for our team to get an accurate view of our clients and their details. In a similar manner, Trello is designed more for task and project management and didn't provide the detail orientation we needed.

Hubspot is defintiely more robust in what you can do with it, but Custify is great for customer success specific activities. We do use hubspot in line with custify, but we wouldn't be able to use one without the other. Custify can measure some product engagement metrics that hubspot cannot

• Within the first week, leadership was able to have more visibility into the lifestage and health score of each client
• We needed to become more proactive as an organization and this platform has allowed us to do so with real-time metrics and reporting.
• We needed to find a way to scale our approach, especially as our Client Success organization continues to grow, and this is already helping.

• Connecting all these data points has been a game-changer. We're seeing higher conversions both from free trials and from starter plans to premium plans. We're now developing an upsell offering for our most premium plan and figuring out how to integrate it into Custify. We're ambitious and want to see what's possible to pull off.
