"Quality platform template"
What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Communities?

Very good SEO. Great Google indexing, and subsequently, great organic traffic. The UI also, good options for users and staff alike. They have also now improved the analytics section following client feedback. Exports create effective topic lists which you can filter according to what you need, making it better then Google Analytics in many aspect, even with a topic view account available.

Customizable: you can edit, change, test easily and quickly on the front end. AND you can add your own HTML to make it truly unique. With regards to the integrations Insided allow, we as a community are no way making the most of what is on offer, with federated search, embeddable widgets and more, allowing you to combine your community content with your other online help resources, IF THERE IS THE APETITE INTERNALLY TO DO SO.

Great support when things go wrong. And great advice from Kenneth our CSM. Kenneth is great, I can't say that enough! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Communities?

Content creation, it's a bit glitchy, jumpy, and the tables are tricky to edit. Also features such as losing your message when you toggle between pages, and mobile display setting options.

Feature requests seem to be predominantly vote based, so unless members of the Inspired community see your idea suggestion and vote for it, you won't see it be a priority. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is very easy to use, comes with a lot of features, and the support we receive is fantastic. The platform has scaled with us really quickly, and all of our members are very happy with it too.

"Gainsight Customer Communities"
What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Communities?

The direct access to customer feedback provided by the IFS Community is invaluable, enabling companies to gather insights for product improvements and innovation. The opportunity for co-creation of products and services with engaged community members, who also act as brand advocates, is a significant advantage. The ability to customize the layouts is excellent, and I am very pleased with the support we receive in case of any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Communities?

The control panel can be a bit slow; however, this is negligible. I am excited about the current roadmap and the new features that are being implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Communities?

Certainly the good customer service. Every customer gets their own CSM who is always there to help and advise them.

"Good out of the box features - hoping to see more soon"
What do you like best about Gainsight Customer Communities?

Out of the box features are good and customization is easy. There are many options for how you want to structure your community and the analytics are sufficient. They are coming out with new features often and do a good job of listening to their clients when it comes to product enhancement. Good support and an excellent CS team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gainsight Customer Communities?

Would love to have seen more multi-product features (though I think more will be coming out soon). Some of the customizability on pages except the home page were lacking. It was difficult to show the information that I wanted for the different product categories that I had. Some custom coding is necessary to get the most out of this software.
