Gong is a really useful sales and revenue enablement tool that captures and helps all of our teams to analyze customer opinion, experience and conversation. We use Gong to provide us with transcripts of all pitches, presentations, client conversations, demos etc. so it records all external facing meetings automatically, and then we can review all of the data and easily search to understand what clients and prospects are saying about us, and how they feel. Very useful for sales and marketing teams, particularly for our Customer Marketing team, to truly understand customer voice.
  • Records seamlessly
  • Captures prospect opinion
  • Helps train sales teams
  • Provides data on customer conversation
  • Sometimes not all data/predictions are fully accurate
  • Doesn't always capture conversation perfectly
  • A lot of data that we need to review
In my experience, Gong is particularly well suited to work groups who need to better understand customer conversation and get in depth, actionable insights into the conversations that are already taking place. It helps companies be data informed about conversations that are already ongoing, so seems like a must-have and fail-safe idea for anyone talking to clients or prospects to keep a full record of their performance. The AI tool helps to pull out key insights and predict / forecast based on customer interactions.

I am an Enterprise Customer Success Manager who uses the tool in my everyday process. The tool solves for many problems, one in which is a source to review, document notes and review activity timelines easily. In today's business, time is a luxury. To have this system be the single source for follow-up, timing and coaching is amazing.
  • Ease of software
  • Helpful resources based on my role
  • AI notes
  • Easy way to categorize and find call topics/history
  • Deal progression / revenue component is light
  • Sometimes errors with Gong following calls
  • Lack of automation when it comes to using recordings routinely
They are leaders in the call recording space. The organization has done a great job harnessing that power and creating compelling use cases for all revenue driven roles. Only downside is when you are the leader in the space, flexibility with commercials and ways to push the product are limited.

We are using Gong to record calls across both Customer Success and Sales teams. We then use it to generate follow-up emails. We also share the calls between us internally to inform other teams about the content of the call. We also have Gong integrated with our CRM system which makes updating the pipeline of deals easier and quicker. Recently we have started using Gong Engage to effectively manage our renewals and spot where we need to engage more with customers.
  • Their AI is excellent.
  • The UI is great.
  • Good integration with CRMs.
  • Accommodate other currencies (not just $).
  • Further functionality on sales reporting would be useful - such as being able to set individual KPIs.
Any organization with a sales team.

Suits an enterprise working environment where complex discussions are held. To keep up with the complexity, Gong can help to capture the essential elements easily. It even helps to structure the selected content for a follow-up email.

We use Gong.io in our sales team, and it's a great tool for reviewing meetings (to go back to details that weren't written down), reviewing our own practices (for training and improving the way we work), and sharing with other departments who will need to check the meeting to keep going with the deal. Before Gong, we relied on the notes we took during the meeting or the interpretation of ourselves as salespersons of what happened during the meeting. Our manager had to join our meetings for training in real-time, now they can just rate us and go into specific situations. Other departments got second-hand information from our meetings; now they check the meetings as if they had been there.
  • Transcripts
  • Percentage of participation of each speaker
  • Links to the meetings are easy to share
  • It would be great to see everyone in the meeting recording. Only the speaker can be seen today, and it would be great to see a corporal reaction from customers when the salesperson is speaking, for example.
  • I think it's working better now, but it took some time for the notetaker to join the meeting if it was invited in the last minute.
For sales meetings with clients, it's perfect. It's a great training tool for managers and for the salesperson itself. We can even learn from the meetings of other colleagues. I got used to it, and I wouldn't like to have a meeting without Gong, as I'm sure I can go back to any relevant details in case I've missed something during the meeting.

I used to take all my notes on calls by hand, but with Gong I can now actively listen and participate, versus getting distracted. It's allowed me to have better conversations that I can refer back to later!

We use Gong in different ways: manage pipeline, review demo/ discovery calls, and forecast deals. Gong gives us more visibility of what's going on with each deal so we can give feedback to our AEs when we think a deal might fall through. We also use previously recorded discovery calls to train new reps.
  • Deal management
  • Demo reviews
  • Demo feedback
  • Searchability of leads
  • Better ways to track activities
  • Qualitative reporting on AE activity
Its well suited for training new bdr/sdrs or AEs using previously recorded demos. It is also good for giving feedback on how the sales team can improve.

Gong is great to record your calls and review them later. We use Gong to record all our sales calls, with prospects and customers. With the tool, we can review calls and find key items that were missed, or recap calls without having to rely on memory. The transcript functionality helps you find key words/scenarios
  • Records meetings using an automatic link
  • Transcribes videos
  • Allows for different playback options
  • When you log into your Gong account, it automatically takes you to a page that I find is not necessary. I then have to find the correct page to search for calls
  • It auto-populates what I am typing but is usually incorrect
  • May take a while for the recording to be available
Gong is great for:
- Reviewing different calls, whether it is a discovery call, demo, follow-up, technical conversation or syncs with key stakeholders
- To easily map out the different sections in the call like: Pricing, competitor, next steps, etc
- Share recordings with customers or prospects. You can put a time limit for how long the recording will be available

Gong is used not only to re-listen and record calls, but to analyze how we are portraying our product and verbally communicated sales messaging correctly. Furthermore, we use the speech analyzation to see where we can improve in conveying our messaging or even see what we can cut out. We found we used a lot of filler words and found ways to move that out of our messaging on demos.
  • Speech analyzation
  • Call recordings
  • Snippets
  • More training videos
  • suggestions on how people use it for success
Phenomenal product, would recommend it to anyone. Its been especially helpful in training new reps or training reps on how to present a new feature or new product. We've really been able to utilize it to show how to sell to differing titles in a business as our messaging differs from selling to engineering/sales/product/cio/etcs.

We use Gong and it's full enterprise features to review deals. Project closing ratio's, and to coach each other on a peer level. This has proven amazing for growth and improvements.
My favorite piece is the AI summary. I basically copy this into an email and then clean it as a recap for the customer. Helps with timelines, a joint execution plan, and accountability.
  • Summary of calls
  • Quick insights of who is involved
  • Human tendencies such as patience and speaking
  • Sharing of calls or snippets with customers
  • Speed to access the call
  • Searching for specific calls
Any call with a customer or prospect it is welcomed and I miss it when not on the call. Internal calls sometimes get recorded and also waiting for a prospect to join can have strange mechanics for pausing, continuing, or remembering what to record. All in all it's a great addition and I like it riding shotgun with me.

We use Gong to record meetings we hold with prospects and active clients. Gong allows us to study our conversations/discovery calls with prospects to improve our discovery. It's also handy for note-taking or filling out notes, as you have the recording handy to supplement your notes.
  • Call recording.
  • Transcription
  • Easy UI/UX on e.g. audio share in a convo.
  • Translation in non english language (e.g. Dutch).
Gong is well suited for all external client online meetings (e.g., Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom). It also works well as an enablement tool to review conversations and look for areas of improvement, e.g., talking too much or not leaving enough room for silence. It is a good tool for managers looking to upskill the AE team.

We use Gong for every outgoing call either from Sales, Product or Customer Success. The main uses are:

  • Recording the call and registering everything that was said for safekeeping and verifying after the call every action point that was agreed with our customers
  • Reviewing the call as a team and individually to detect areas of improvement in the length of our monologues, the kind of questions we ask, how active our listening was, how much we could empathize with our customers, etc.
  • Detecting The different topics in a conversation and separating the call by these topics
  • identifying areas of improvement
  • making a very thorough summary automatically
  • offering additional tools like setting up reminders for action items, calls, etc
  • I don't really recall anything that I would mention as something that is wrong
Any team that has a direct relationship with a client via a phone or a video call would benefit from Gong. I've worked on sales in the past and these tools are the dream of every leader.

I can't think of a better way to get actual material from our performance to give us a better chance to detect areas of improvement and hone our skillset before our next call.

Even it's super fast. In merely a few minutes after the call you receive an email telling you that the recording is already ready for us to exploit it.

I used Gong to record and document customer trainings. It was incredibly helpful to go back and be able to search through the transcripts to find key words or key points of discussion to follow up on. It was also a great place to know who was on the call and it was really helpful to be able to share a link instead of a downloaded recording or google drive file.
  • Auto generated, searchable transcripts
  • Easy to share recordings
  • Great to re-reference discussed topics
  • Ability to easy extend or limit length of time for customer to access recording
  • Accuracy of who's on the call
  • Consistency of connectivity with zoom/gcal
  • Nothing else
Really great for recording and documenting customer calls, it may be less helpful for recordings that should be evergreen (like company trainings for L&D teams that might benefit from using an LMS). If you have a solid book of business, Gong is really helpful and simple to integrate into your onboarding process and it gives both teams resources to reference outside of live calls. It's also helpful to point out any discrepancies without spending and hour rewatching an entire call to find a topic.

We use Gong to record our Sales and customer success include implementation process meetings, get insights about those meetings and sync them to other applications such as Salesforce.com and more.
Sales users can see their opportunity pipeline and AI insights about them
  • record meetings
  • transcript of meetings in various languages
  • Find and track call topics
  • understand more languages
  • more accurate transcript of web meetings
Sales coaching and training- Gong can be used to identify and analyze the sales behaviors that lead to success, and to then coach and train salespeople on how to replicate those behaviors.
Sales forecasting and pipeline management- Gong can be used to track the progress of deals through the sales pipeline, and to identify deals that are at risk of being lost. This information can then be used to forecast sales and to make decisions about how to allocate resources.
If the company need is solely for recoding and store meetings this product is an overkill and overpriced.

Gong is good to keep track of important conversations happening in your organization. We use Gong to keep product teams in the know of important account changes. We have our sales team using the product and it has been great to share snippets of those using our sales methodology and for keeping managers informed. It is common for us to share snippets with other internal users and our customers. It has been a bit clunky to learn and gain full adoption, but those who do state that they get a lot of value out of the automated notetaking and being able to see all the related account emails in one place. Deal boards are quite tough for our sales structure, but look as though they are a great fit for many SAAS companies.
  • Recording Calls and Emails automatically
  • Customer Service
  • Conversation feed
  • Deal Boards for more complex sales
  • better transcriptions
  • Improved automation for coaching and reviews
I think Gong would be great for companies with younger associates or subscription related services. I have found it to be valuable for training sessions to provide to customers after the call. I do wish I could filter the feed by internal and external calls, but if you are a seller using this strictly for customer calls it would be a great fit.

Gong is our go-to for call recording on Zoom along with playback, sharing, call review, and pipeline analysis based on calls and emails. It provides analytics on stalled deals as well as hosting our training videos internally and allowing for collaborative call feedback and scoring. It has limitless storage and the recordings are great, transcriptions save time, and employees love the automated to-do lists. Update: The new AI notification flags they added are also amazingly helpful to our Sales and CS orgs.

Gong.io is used across our whole organization. It allows new employees to pick up our wording, best and worst-case practices without piling up on everyone's calendar. It allows team leads and managers to look at call data and pinpoint places to improve quickly. Most importantly, it allows reps to keep up with their pipeline and see where potential deals went. When it comes time to apply for a promotion, this is the resource that gets our employees there.
  • Call statistics (how much rep talked vs customer)
  • Catching forbidden words
  • Filtering calls for easy reporting
  • Summarizing calls for follow ups
  • More monthly automated reporting options
  • Integration and call recordings appearing faster
  • Sending automated updates on deals based on call sentiment
Easy to use, helps every employee in the company from new hire to the most senior employee. Every sales organization needs this to help make sales reps better. The statistics breakdown of each call is very helpful for managers who can use this during feedback talks. It is truly suited for each stage of the sales cycle.

The main use case is customer call recording. We record all calls with customers with Gong and refer back to them regularly to review content and remember next steps. The calls are scraped and transcripted, which makes it very easy to hone in on specific points. Also, we frequently tag other employees for additional help.
  • Call analysis
  • Tagging other users
  • Sharing calls internally and externally
  • Sometimes the transcripts show the wrong words.
  • Shared calls expire too easily.
  • Make it easier to invite Gong recorder to MS Teams calls.
It's very well suited in a sales and customer success scenario. Natural language processing is good with high-level conversations. Also the tool is helpful in finding coaching opportunities, like speaking too frequently and not allowing the other folks to talk.

May be less useful in tech/IT environments, as there may be specific and technical language that may be hard for the recorder to parse.

We used it both to understand promises made during the sales process and to train CSMs on the conversations we were having with customers. It also has been helpful to recall promises made during calls during business reviews. The primary users were managers of CSMs in their effort to provide regular feedback and coaching to their CSMs by revisiting calls with them.
  • Transcript
  • Ability to Search calls by key words
  • Grading calls
  • Pricing is not aggressive
  • Better mass updates for users
Gong is primarily built for Sales teams. We were able to use it well enough for our Customer Success team, but there is definitely significant focus on closing deals and some of the verbiage doesn't align super well with Customer Success needs and focuses. Nonetheless, its primary ability to record and analyze call data is helpful for any customer facing team that wants to improve their calls.

  1. Coaching and Training - Gong is used to coach reps and train them on particular skills the business is trying to hone in on. It also provides reps and managers with insights into sales calls and therefore reps deals. We use it to identify areas where reps excel or need improvement, and provide targeted feedback and guidance based on data-driven insights from actual conversations.
  2. Forecasting - we don't use this part
  3. Competitive Intel - by analyzing calls, Gong helps us identify trends, patterns, and customer sentiment, which can inform product development, marketing strategies, and overall business decisions. We also gain insights into competitor strategies and tactics by looking at conversations that certain competitors are mentioned.
  • Call Recording
  • Call Analysis
  • Coaching
  • It's a lot to look at
  • Surfacing things to you - like the new GPT integration so you don't have to listen to the whole call - this is money
I have only used it one place and it is vital. We have some transactional sales cycles and some 12 month sales cycles so when you see an opportunity in SFDC it is nice to go back and walk through where/why this fell off.

It also helps me take notes so I can focus on listening and asking questions during the call

Lastly, it helps my manager get notes on my deals
