Functionality

What makes Tara different from traditional CSPs?

Unlike traditional CSPs, Tara eliminates the manual effort required to generate insights and act on them. It automates tasks like health scoring, success planning, and follow-ups, acting as both a copilot for high-touch accounts and an autopilot for scaled accounts. Powered by custom AI models, Tara delivers and acts on personalized recommendations tailored to each of your customers—allowing you to scale your CS efforts efficiently with minimal human involvement.

How are Tara’s automated health scores different from traditional health scores?

Tara's health scores are powered by data-driven machine learning models. Key benefits include:
  • No Blind Spots: Multivariate analysis across sales, product usage, success, and support data provides accurate predictions.
  • Automated Setup: You don't have to spend hours developing one-size-fits-all rules-based scoring.
  • Always Current: Models continuously adapt to changes in customer behavior and business environments.
  • Predictive, Not Reactive: Tara predicts churn and downgrade risks months in advance, enabling proactive mitigation.
  • Revenue Focus: Every action is tied directly to a measurable revenue impact.

Does Tara replace Gainsight or similar tools?

Not necessarily—it depends on your goals:
  • If you use Gainsight for relationship management (e.g., playbooks, QBRs): Tara acts as an intelligence layer, enhancing it with AI-driven predictions and recommendations. It can also automate tasks such as health scoring, upsell identification, and follow-ups directly within these platforms, giving them AI superpowers.
  • If your focus is reducing churn or growing accounts: Tara provides a more direct path to revenue impact, often reducing the need for traditional CSP platforms.
In fact, many of our customers use traditional CSPs like Gainsight, Totango, and ChurnZero alongside Tara to supercharge their CS efforts.
