"Feature Rich and CSM Love"
4/5
What do you like best about Catalyst?

Catalyst provides insights to our customer success team that we otherwise would not have (or have to dig deep to find). It has helped expose inefficiencies in our team's workflow while providing a central place for CSMs to manage their book of business. Modular home layouts (dashboards) are a great way to create 'home screens' for CSMs, managers, and leadership. The salesforce integration and object config is seamless and allows us to create and map new fields within minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Catalyst?

Catalyst is still a young company and it shows in certain features that are not deep in functionality. From an Ops perspective, there are little things that this platform lacks or strange quirks. For example, Playbooks are a powerful feature that enable you to automate emails to customers. However, there is no way to ensure you are not spamming customers with multiple emails in a single day as there is no central "did we email this person" functionality. Additionally, any numerical values pass into playbook emails rounded to the tenth decimal place. For example, the number "4" shows up at "4.0". Small thing, but when you are trying to emulate CSM communication it does not feel organic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Too many manual updates required when most services are switching to Gen AI & auto updates"
1/5
What do you like best about Catalyst?

For my manager, it's a great summary across many account managers of our book of clients, # of users, activity levels. For him to see all of this data is one place, in one view, it's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Catalyst?

The summary fields are too vague and offer me no value; I keep having to open a mini box to see what I need. In order to have current data, I need to manually type notes and add updates. I can not easily export data into Excel or a Google doc in order to change the view or appearance of data. I live in Salesforce which is where I prefer to enter my updates within a template that is mostly auto filled and I can just add a few notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use, adaptable"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Catalyst?

Having different and personalized company layouts has made renewals especially a lot easier because I'm able to tell what's going on at a high level. It organizes a BoB by date in a way that's far more intuitive than Excel. I also like how you can export to CSV in case you need the information to be editable offline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Catalyst?

It has a bit of a learning curve for an entire team. I like that when I'm unable to save something (bc of a requirement on SF or word count limit) that Catalyst lets me know why it's errored out, but I wish there weren't word counts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Keeping me organized and accountable!"
5/5
What do you like best about Catalyst?

I love how simple it is to create tasks and notes while syncying to salesforce! It really helps me keep all of my notes and account details in order. Previously, we were using different tools or google docs to keep track of call notes/account notes so its nice to have everyone using this and also aligned on organization expectations. I also LOVE that my opportunity notes will sync to salesforce so I can automate processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Catalyst?

Nothing! the only thing i would say is that I it would be nice to have 2 people collabprate on one note at once -- kind of like in google docs where you can have more than one person in that doc taking notes, making edits etc.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One Stop Shop CS Tool"
5/5

What do you dislike about Catalyst?

My only little concern is not being able to add attachment to mails going out of Catalyst. Otherwise, everything else is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
