Gainsight is the legacy enterprise customer-success platform. Powerful, but heavy: long implementation, rigid rule-based playbooks, expensive at scale.
Most teams start looking for Gainsight alternatives because of three things: implementation timelines that stretch into months, license costs that scale faster than CS team headcount, and the difficulty of layering AI on top of a rules-based foundation.
