“powerful tracking, dated setup”
Pros
Features like the C360 account view, timeline tracking, analytics and the CTA rule engine give us a strong way to monitor and understand what's happening across our customer base.
Cons
Getting it set up takes a long time and the process is not very user friendly. After you learn how the data connects in Gainsight and how to build CTAs in the rule engine, it's not especially difficult to use. That said there are a lot of hidden system limitations and small quirks that make the platform feel old and outdated.

“Valuable customer health insights”
Pros
Before every customer conversation, I check this platform to see how they're doing by looking at dashboard usage, health scores and other key insights. I really appreciate having that visibility because it helps me go into each call better prepared and with the context I need.
Cons
There's still a lot of the platform left for me to explore and at this point I haven't come across anything I dislike yet.

Cons
I'd also like to use it more for customer advocacy but I just haven't had the opportunity to do that yet.
