Fast turn around time for feedback on calls.

In person coaching. I wish you could have someone tell you what you could do more of to be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hesitation and listening skills.
Gong is perfect for enablement
What do you like best about the product?
It is extremely helpful to be able to search Gong for previous client calls to bring myself up to speed prior to the next call. This is not only helpful for ongoing client engagement to remind myself of the goals, action items, and sentiment from previous calls but also for learning what is important for a client that is new to me. I can learn from past conversations that are not captured in our CRM. If I don't have time to listen to a full call, I can scan calls based on topics such as whether a presentation was shared or pricing was discussed. This is a huge time saver as I don't have to collaborate with the prior account team on these items and many times, the prior account reps may have left the organization. In addition, Gong has been my method of enablement. Internal marketing material can only go so far but hearing customer questions, concerns, and comments and then also hearing how they were addressed is invaluable! I honestly would feel it would be like losing a limb if Gong were removed.
I also love that it saves everything to our CRM automatically!

What do you dislike about the product?
Search could be a little more intuitive. Sometimes I feel like I have to really focus on how I am searching in order to get the right results. It could just be me. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes search is just a bit off. Eventually I find what I'm looking for!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
continued client engagement - great when I am unable to take thorough notes because I'm the one presenting
enablement - learning from colleagues and other client experiences - shortened ramp time & enhanced knowledge of real-world experience

I can now focus!
What do you like best about the product?
Gong has allowed me to listen to my clients rather than focus on note-taking. I am now focusing on my client's needs and having better conversations rather than pausing to ensure I took the right notes. And when the call is completed, I have the transcript to ensure I did not misinterpret something.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall Gong is a great tool - I think what would be great is to have a smoother integration with Zoom. This way I can toggle Gong features within the Zoom call.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gong is helping us solve the issue of remembering. We can now review past calls to retrieve information when needed, provide back up, and even use it as a training/coaching tool.
Great for note taking!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how the presentation is transcribed as well as visually recorded. It makes finding information easy when I search for a keyword mentioned during the call.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to have all members recorded at one time during the call instead of just the speaker. It would help pick up on facial reactions missed during the presentation, especially when you are screen sharing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is great for note-taking! I can efficiently go back to the recording to pick up on details that need clarification. These details are essential to effective follow-ups!
How a Channel & Sales Leader uses Gong
What do you like best about the product?
Gong has kept up with the changes to the product landscape, specifically the "Ask anything" Ai functionality is high quality and allows for easy call interrogation, while the Account Summary option to get a summary of accounts across different time periods is very helpful.
Since my last review I have taken on ownership of the Channel and System Integrator partnerships, and getting a 360 summary of different partner accounts that have been with us for varying time scales has been exceptionally helpful.
Overall the new features are highly robust and I have also had no experience with breakages which is often the case with other new platform components outside of Gong.

What do you dislike about the product?
Gong has added native integrations with Outlook and taken the product to a whole new level there, while entirely neglecting this functionality with the Google suite in gmail. I have not seen any news or updates on availability to trial a native integration with gmail, but I see this as the future for call intelligence and sequencing, so would like to be informed if things are changing here.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Ramping reps: it is solving the problem of the knowledge and general business acumen gap between AEs and SDRs
- Allocating technical resources: we can share snippets with SEs now so that they don't need to come in too early in a sales cycle, it also reduces the need for junior SDRs to know technical answers to every question, when they can share the call after and also recap the questions asked
- Watching from above. I don't need to join calls to see what is happening, and I can also see how SDRs notes match up to the reality of the call
- Relevant feedback: reps don't need to describe the call, so that I have to give an account on their impression of what happened ----> we can listen to the call together.
- I can hear and see what my top performers are actually doing.

Gong makes it all possible for us
What do you like best about the product?
Call recording that is highly searchable
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing -- gong is truly essential to us
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dealing with multiple handoffs to support a very complex product offering
Hard to live without
What do you like best about the product?
Gong is the first tool that gives me the ability to not only listen in the field, but to also gain actionable insights without having to do any of the work myself.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment, you're unable to get standard activity reports from Gong into SFDC. With that being said, the Gong development team is working with me to understand the need and see if they can release a solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Historically, listening in the field has been a black box. Being able to understand the conversation with the market, how pitches are landing with prospects, and feedback on the product (especially vs. competitors) is beyond valuable to anyone in a GTM organization.
Great for sharing sales insights with product
What do you like best about the product?
Setting up triggers and connecting them to slack channels is a great way to share insights with product teams. Once it's set up it removes the need for PMs to look data up or ask salespeople, which increases the number of insights that get looked at.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes voice-to-text misses what the person is saying and makes me guess what the person meant. The slack excertps are a bit short and require me to look up the larger text in the web app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's facilitating better knowledge and insight transfer between sales and product. And it helps product people stay on top of trends detected in the sales process.
Effortless Meeting Management with Gong
What do you like best about the product?
I find Gong's features very useful in my daily work. It's incredibly intuitive for recording calls, and the analytics it provides post-meetings is excellent. The ability to transcribe meetings regularly helps me recall key points discussed. I also find the video reviews helpful as a reminder of what was exactly discussed with clients. I appreciate the feature where Gong provides a suggestive follow-up letter for clients, which aids in my client communication. Using Gong in conjunction with Salesforce and Microsoft Teams integrates seamlessly into my workflow. Overall, all the current features of Gong are excellent and make it deserving of purchase.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Gong to record client meetings, obtain video summaries with key points, and receive suggestive follow-up letters, boosting my productivity and client engagement.
Efficient for Product User Research and Reducing Meetings
What do you like best about the product?
As a product manager, I love how Gong has improved my approach to user research. I can study customer problems in advance or sometimes avoid a meeting altogether by listening to calls that have already happened where users go into enough detail about the issues they are facing.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a product manager, most of the terminology and framing in their app is focused on Sales - but that makes sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gong reduces my meeting time to allow more focus on other priorities. Listening to customers at greater than 1x speed is such a lovely hack. Gong helps me do my own research and prep on a user instead of bothering a teammate to pass all that long in yet another meeting.
