Real Totango Customer Review

The software was very hard to integrate and they couldn't do custom data. When asked about cancelling, they asked as to buy out our remaining months contract. Terrible customer service from a company that promotes Customer Success Software

Should You Select Totango or Churn Assassin?

 
Enterprise Use Cases
  • Totango is worth considering if you want a Customer Success platform focused on enterprise needs. It may be less complex to implement and less expensive to license compared to other enterprise Customer Success solutions. However, public reviews tend to be lower, which could reflect growing pains or indicate a narrower fit for this category than they claim. Proceed cautiously.

  • If you wanted a second opinion on customer health and churn prediction, you could implement Churn Assassin side-by-side. (Just sayin’)

Mid-Market Use Cases
  • The choice depends on your team size and resources.

  • If your customer success team is stretched thin or you just want the best customer health scores on the market, Churn Assassin offers a simpler, priority-based approach to customer retention, saving time and helping drive revenue.

  • If your team feels like it needs more functionality out of the same box, you should add Totango to your short list.

Small / Startup Use Cases
  • Totango's total package and costs will be overwhelming.

  • Churn Assassin provides targeted insights to help small teams retain customers without unnecessary complexity.

  • With a simple drop-in JavaScript snippet, Churn Assassin requires minimal development effort, giving you churn and retention insights almost immediately.

Final Points on Choosing Totango or Churn Assassin

 

Both Churn Assassin and Totango help address the need to reduce customer churn and boost retention. Churn Assassin provides a streamlined, cost-effective solution that covers the essentials, making it ideal for businesses seeking simplicity and quick implementation.
