Sales Operations Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An excellent conversational intelligence tool" March 18, 2025 5.0 As a product it is the leader. They have a good team too. Pros The insights and the AI are so useful in capturing what was discussed on a call. It also feeds into the other areas of the business that are generally starved of prospect and customer feedback. Cons Even though we are paying a lot to have Gong there are many features that are hidden behind additional seats eg. Forecasting and Engage. These should be included with our subscription.

Sales Operations Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Buyer Beware - You can't export your data" November 6, 2024 1.0 While Gong offers valuable insights into call data and sales interactions, our experience has been impacted by significant data access limitations, especially concerning data portability and bulk export capabilities. If you're considering switching platforms and have six months or less on your contract, start engaging the Gong API documentation immediately to download all of your call data in a usable format. Gong’s support team has stated, “Gong is in full compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and all related data accessibility and portability requirements. As per CCPA, we ensure data is available in a ‘readily usable format’ in line with industry standards and consistent with Gong’s documentation and product specifications.” However, their current solution is far from convenient or accessible—it requires downloading calls individually, which is impractical and inefficient for a large volume of data. Another support message emphasized, “Gong does provide an API for data export, including documentation to facilitate access to individual call downloads... we remain committed to assisting your team within these existing product parameters.” This means no further customization or support is available if you need bulk access to your call data. This lack of flexibility has required us to engage our development team at additional cost, adding significant operational and opportunity costs just to extract data we already own. If your business needs easy, bulk access to call data or plans to integrate with other platforms, these limitations can create challenges. The lack of robust data export options has made it hard to justify the platform’s cost, especially as it falls short of meeting practical data management needs. Pros It's a fancy call recorder at the end of the day. Cons Frustrating Data Access Limitations and Lack of Bulk Export Alternatives considered [Fathom](https://www.capterra.com/p/276054/Fathom/)[Chorus](https://www.capterra.com/p/253713/Chorus/) Reason for choosing Gong.io Trusted partner and promise of integrations Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great sales tool, but pricey" October 21, 2024 5.0 Great tool for reliably recording calls with an AI assistant overlay. It enables me to focus on what the person is saying rather than taking notes. It also helps others to review what we discussed so we don't have to ask the same questions over again later. Also helps me to get coaching on my own calls by sharing with my peers or leader. Pros Enables insight into conversations that we are having with customers and improves our ability to learn from and coach each other on how to best help them. Cons Very expensive standalone offering in the midst of a rising tide of competitors who offer a similar value proposition alongside other enterprise systems. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr SdR Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gong is incredible" February 4, 2025 5.0 Gong is amazing to go back and watch past customer calls for info and preparation Pros Gong.o is amazing for watching past calls Cons I have had no issues with Gong since I started using it Review Source HT Haruki T. Sr. ADR Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the most valuable tools for sales teams" December 28, 2024 5.0 Pros Everything from the ease of use, analytics, tracking engagement throughout a deal, to forecasting, Gong is hands down one of the best tools I've ever used in my sales career. Cons The transcription sometimes isn't the best but that is to be expected for any tool. Review Source JR Janessa R. Product Marketing Manger Telecommunications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent platform" June 10, 2025 5.0 Excellent. Comprehensive, easy-to-use platform. Few glitches here and there with redacted words and numbers. Overall very positive. Pros AI-powered, built-in transcription feature, search within transcript, color-coded speaker identifier, robust platform search. Cons Words are randomly redacted when watching videos playback, video player blocks part of screen during shared screen. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Executive Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Everyday Gong User" May 12, 2025 4.0 Pros The ability to request coaching and feedback on specific calls. Cons After making a call or conducting a meeting, it can take a while for the call/meeting to sync on to the Gong platform. Review Source SK Simone K. AE Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great to work with" December 6, 2024 4.0 The experience is very smooth, I like a lot how it summarizes your call for you, it is easy to take away the most important points Pros i do like the clear analyses, and the way it shows who talked at what stage - it alllows me a clear insight in how my salesprocess is going. Cons very high focus on the statistics, while it is useful, it may mislead a new sales agent Review Source KM Kiersten M. SDR Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gong Review" September 28, 2024 5.0 Pros I love that you get emails in real time about meetings you have for the day, can confirm the prospect is in the meeting, and are able to view a recording with a transcript immediately after the meeting concludes. Cons I have no dislikes! Gong has been super useful. Review Source MM Marc M. Account Executive Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Slows down my productivity by at least 400%" June 12, 2024 2.0 terrible, i would not recommend it. it has some nice AI features but I find it almost unusable. Pros It has some decent AI and the call listening is good but is far outweighed by the negatives Cons It is super clunky, hard to find information you need. there is "conversations" and "engage" and they don't link. the chrome extension doesn't work at all. you can't dial from salesforce. there is no text messaging capture. It's a massive downgrade from what I can tell Review Source VR Verified Reviewer COO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Gong is a great product" June 7, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to use and easy to set up, Gong has been adapted by our Team overnight Cons Gong is a bit expensive compared to similar products Review Source Miodrag C. Enterprise Account Executive Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Gong.io is rather good, but quite expensive" February 23, 2024 5.0 Overall it is a great product. Sadly Gong.io as a leader in its market is not too open to negotiate with smaller companies Pros The recordings are very easy to set up, navigate, go through and find the most important bits of it Cons The pricing is probably the biggest obstacle and hence we are looking to change Review Source EJ Elli J. Marketing Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Essential tool for Customer Marketing" May 29, 2024 5.0 Pros I've used Gong in various roles, from Sales to Marketing and have always found it incredibly helpful. Back when I was in Sales I used it for call recording and then later to listen back for training purposes. Now, in marketing I use it to record case study calls with clients. I can then get transcripts from the call that are easy to write up. Much better/more accurate transcriptions than other softwares as well. Cons It can be glitchy. Added the add-on to my outlook to send a Gong invite with any zoom invites and it works sporadically. Review Source ES Eirik S. Product Manager E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gong is great for sales, but not the best for startups" July 15, 2021 3.0 Gong leaves you alone to do your work after you sign up and they don't market too heavily post signup which is fantastic! We currently use Gong to do three things: - Record user interviews from our product team - Record introductory calls with prospective clients (we don't have any follow-up calls since our service is transactional) - Facilitate coaching of our team since our service is coaching based on zoom Pros The major thing for our team is unlimited transcription and having a transcription quality that is good enough. Our team benchmarked the software against Google and AWS, and we found out that Gong uses their proprietary transcription software. And it looks like Gong's transcription software has been trained mainly on meeting recordings (zoom) and on telephone calls. We also love the video playback feature in Gong is enjoyable to use. They have features like highlighting works as the speaker talks, seeing each speaker's talk tracks below the player, speed control up to 2.5x for the playback, and a way to minimize the video view to the bottom right of the screen. Cons I hate the way gong displays upcoming calls. It's a pain to navigate, and there are no additional details on the upcoming calls. You would think Gong would show the meeting details, especially when you're working with your team and organization, but they don't! Another frustrating thing we found out after signing up was that all our historical recorded calls were not assigned a speaker. Gong does not allow you to assign speakers to calls that you upload to their system. It will automatically assign the speakers as "Phone caller #1" / #2 / #3, etc. All recorded calls before you start using Gong, and any call the Gong recorder does not join (happens a lot) will not be assigned to a team member. Reason for choosing Gong.io We use Gong to do three things: - Record our user interviews from our product team - Record any introductory calls with prospective clients (we don't have any follow-up calls since our service is transactional) - Facilitate coaching of our team since our service is coaching based on zoom Review Source Nick B. Sr. Customer Success Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Why work harder when you can work smarter?" June 9, 2022 5.0 I'm solving the problem of me being lazy and inattentive...sometimes. Most of the time, I'm there, listening, ready to crush it. Other times, I see a squirrel out of my window and can't help but watch it do its thing. Like maybe it just found a huge nut or something and it's just snacking away. How can you NOT watch? But then, I miss important info. Gong allows me to watch squirrels AND remember what was said. Pros I like that it takes \*thinking\* out of my job. If I have questions about something a customer said, or something that I said, I can just go to the call, search for it, and find it. It's an absolutely incredible way to keep on top of tasks, while also being able to gain a deeper understanding at any time. Cons Again, not a whole lot within the scope of what I use Gong for that I dislike. It does the job exactly how I would want it to be done. Switched from [Chorus](https://www.capterra.com/p/253713/Chorus/) I didn't choose to switch, but I'm glad we did. Review Source DV Danny V. VP of Customer Success Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Gong made me a fan" March 28, 2024 5.0 Its been a positive experience and with the ecosystem of tools that integrate with us we've been able to fill most remaining gaps through Zapier, reporting workflows, Slack, and TranscribeIQ Pros I love that it aggregates all the information about all of our accounts into a single place with different views to help us streamline our workflows. Its been one of the most impactful tools in our tech stack for sales, customer success, and product and we've amplified that by using Gong plugins like Zapier and TranscribeIQ. Cons I wish the reporting was more centralized and customizable but its still really easy to use - we've taken some of our analysis outside of gong to make it more actionable. Overall the cons are minimal and they keep releasing new features to help us grow with them. Reason for choosing Gong.io It was the best on the market by far and though it was a big leap to make the investment I feel like its paid off Review Source DE Dallas E. Product Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Gong is a must have for sales teams!" December 21, 2021 5.0 Overall Gong has really allowed our team to connect with each other on the deals we are working on. We can easily provide feedback and learn from each other. Pros Gong helps us constantly improve! What I like most is being able to have all of our team's calls analyzed for key metrics like engagement, talk ratio, and the AI driven feedback. This enables us to easily review so we can quickly share feedback, score calls, help our team take more action. It's very user friendly. Cons There's not much I would add here, because the Gong team is always adding new features and using data to think about what sales teams can truly benefit from. They just recently opened up the Gong community which is something I've been waiting for! Review Source AB Armin B. SDR Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Important growth tool for sales teams" August 24, 2022 5.0 Pros I love Gong and have used Gong in previous jobs. Before Gong it was a lot of manual transcribing and listening to calls multiple times. Now with Gong, we are able to also see the transcription of the call and also tag team members immediately for feedback and important notes within the calls. Cons Not much to dislike about Gong as they have been super helpful with the implementation and support. Alternatives considered [Chorus](https://www.capterra.com/p/253713/Chorus/) Reason for choosing Gong.io Many staff have heard of good things about Gong and a lot more staff were familiar with the product. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Executive Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AE Manager uses and depends on Gong more than Salesforce" April 21, 2022 5.0 I brought Gong to my company when we were only 10 employees and 2 AEs. Gong has been perhaps the most critical tool in our sales tech as we have scaled from 2 AEs to 30+ AEs, a sales team of 6 to 100+, and as a company, from 10 employees to nearly 400 in 3 years. Pros Hard to choose one thing I like the most about Gong, but as an AE Manager, it would be Deals. The ability to filter to my team, to any individual AE, to month, quarter, and year, and instantly seeing every deal in pipeline is game changing. The ability to see what deals have the most two way activity, see deal warnings that you can customize, and even pull other fields on the Salesforce object all while being able to deep dive into a deal and listen to the demo or recent calls allows me to run 1:1s effectively, forecast accurately, and get the context I lack in CRM. Cons We use Clari for forecasting internally. If there was to marry Clari and Gong together, and I can forecast to my VP within Gong, that would be great. Review Source Jon W. Senior Account Executive Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Lots of greatness in this product" August 12, 2021 5.0 Gong has really helped our sales team grow by getting our AEs on the same page and continuing to build them into stronger Sales People. Pros Gong offers a great recording system that you can do a whole lot more from. We have weekly reviews and the functionality makes it easy to get through in a quick time. The assessments also let us know how we're doing and from a manager to peer aspect review the calls. Cons Some time search functionality seems off and logging in has a slow lag to start. Other than that I can't really complain. Those 2 things are really nit-picking too. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) We still used zoom but we switched from their recordings to gong because it was not robust at all Review Source JA Julia A. Account Executive Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of my favorite tools as a Sales Rep" August 16, 2021 5.0 Awesome! Pros I was nervous when we first purchased this to have so much visibility, but it's been an amazing help for: 1) remembering what happened in a call whether that was yesterday or months ago 2) getting specific/contextual coaching feedback 3) seeing which deals need helps based on activity 4) flagging conversations by words that are said (especially when seeing how customers/prospects like new features or how other reps are selling those) 5) passing along feature requests or coaching notes to others on my team and in the business Cons It took us a bit longer than we anticipated to get fully ramped in a way where we were really leveraging it and able to do all of the above. No other major complaints, but worth noting I haven't tried any of the competitor solutions out there. Alternatives considered [Chorus](https://www.capterra.com/p/253713/Chorus/) Reason for choosing Gong.io functionality, price, ui/ux Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Development Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Really great tool for our sales team" September 23, 2021 5.0 It's been really great, I would highly recommend - especially if you have a newer team/newer team members/technically heavy calls. Pros Allows our team to easily share specifics, we have complex sales cycles that are technical in nature. Gong allows us to record discovery sessions and then share internally with other resources that need to be brought in - really ensures nothing slips through the cracks. Cons We have yet to find a solution to cutting up clips from several calls and putting them together for training purposes. Might be that we have yet to find the time to discover that feature. Review Source RR Romina R. Senior Account Development Representative Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing platform- great for training, analysis, and automatic recording of prospect calls/demos/etc." December 22, 2021 5.0 Gong helps me with discovery, cold calls, and learning from successful counterparts who have promoted to higher roles. Pros Gong is very easy to use. I rely on it heavily for recording my own calls with prospects automatically. When a Zoom meeting happens or when I dial out of Outreach, these calls record. If it is a Zoom call, any visuals record as well. It is automatic unless I purposefully choose to not record for certain prospects that request no recording, so it is not another thing to worry about clicking or selecting. I have years of Outreach and Zoom meetings that I can go back and listen to or watch in Gong, which is extremely useful when revisiting lost opportunities/old prospects, and for training purposes. Even as a senior in my role, listening to other discovery calls a few times a week keeps me sharper. It is easy to filter calls based on what type of call I want to listen to. There are countless customization options here, pulling tags/dispositions from Outreach and Zoom to filter in Gong. The call transcripts are nice too. While not perfect, it helps when I need to listen to something in a long call again and can refer to the transcript to see what time I need to start at to get the information I am looking for in that call. Cons \-Love the transcript feature, but as with most transcriptions it could be improved. Review Source JR Juanma R. Director, Product Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A gold mine for product marketing and sales enablement teams" September 10, 2023 5.0 Gong is pure gold for any product marketing and sales enablement team. Can't imagine my life without Gong anymore. That's the first question I asked any peer I met, whether or not they're using Gong, because if they aren't, they are unfortunately in a different league when it comes to maximizing their potential as a team enabling the sales organization. Pros Automated alerts based on keywords, sharing clips with key fragments of the conversation, detecting trends in terms of how often competitors and pricing comes up on sales calls, monitoring sales qualification efforts, ensure demo performance. Amazing tools to truly understand the context of your sales organization, beyond just their word which is not always exactly accurate. Cons Sometimes the automated speech recognition algorithm doesn't really understand some terms (e.g. competitor names) are different from a common word in natural language, and messes it up a bit. Nothing critical, but that forces some manual cleaning up and causes false alarms. Review Source DA Danial A. ZIWO Cloud Contact Center Software Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best option for documenting customer calls with all their details" March 19, 2022 5.0 Gong.io Help document all communication processes, and this documentation has become an inspiring reference for us, as it works to better follow up on customers and understand their problems and requests in depth. Pros You need Gong.io if your job involves listening to clients' issues and requests over the telephone, especially if you spend so much time doing this you don't have the capacity for precise note-taking. Listen to the chat again and read the transcript. Gong.io allows you to do all of this in one place. Gong.io's search capabilities make it easy to locate certain areas of discussion. it's wonderful that calls are categorized so that they include information like the customer's name, who spoke to him and what the subject was, and the time and date of their call, as well as the full conversation. Cons Recording features are great, but transcription processes can be inaccurate because conversations often contain slang words or from other languages and always need human review, which is sometimes distracting.
