Gong's the best way to train your employees and craft your sales techniques
What do you like best about the product?
How easy and convenient it is to bounce around throughout a call and see the notes that are left on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much I can think of that is wrong with Gong.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Training. Employees speed up their process of training by listening to previous calls.
Great Product for Management and Individuals
What do you like best about the product?
I have never had a tool that has captured Transcription and Recording in one place and created the ease of use through searchability. Really helps me drill down to the critical points of previous meetings to catch up on meetings missed or confirm details that were not clear when heard in real-time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI could be a little easier I think to toggle back and forth between transcription and audio stream recordings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are leveraging Gong to track down missed call details and missed calls in general to stay apprised of collaborative efforts without have to ask your team to give you an update or synopsis. Really gives us the chance to digest historical meetings and form opinions, as though you were at the meeting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Gong is a great tool for sharing meeting information, outcomes from meetings, and good for training in terms of how conversations were handled and could be improved upon.
Awesome Tool That Has Helped Me Be Successful!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, slick UI, highlights from call - keywords, most frequently used, timing of calls and talk time relative to other attendees. All this helps with each step in the sales process! Transcripts are amazing as well!
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike is the announcement of gong recording at the beginning. It could be timed better or something visible rather than only audio - Perhaps having this in the meeting details on that first screen in the conference? (would need integration into Zoom/Webex etc. if messaging is coming from Gong.io). I'd also like for there to be more of a personal dashboard as my landing page so that I am able to see my frequently used works, talk time and overall breakdown of calls without having to go to a separate tab. The home page just shows meetings currently, and I don't really rely on this tool to click into meetings.. I use the Search function for that. Finally, there is a yellow pulsating launcher (I think it's WalkMe based on element inspection) that appears when you click into a call and it covers the left of the search bar at the top of the page. This is poor UX and needs to be shifted over. Similarly, the reminder modals/"take a tour" modals are unnecessary for users that are consistently logging into the tool. It's frustrating as there is no option to just close it forever. I either have to take the tour or be reminded later (these are likely also WalkMe shoutouts). These pieces are not necessary for me as I am an avid user of many types of technology that would rather figure things out as needed. Most sales reps using gong are in the same boat of being users of SaaS tools, so I don't think these features drive adoption - in fact, they become a little off-putting and don't 100% fit with your native UX/UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is the best tools I've used as a sales person. It helped me improve my conversation, and also showcases where I was missing the mark. Now my cycles are faster and I can even review my teammates calls to see what else can help me in mine. The ability to have a transcript makes it impossible for me to NOT have all the info and customers/prospects love it as they also like to reference back to technical calls.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with your sales org as this is where you will see the most impact. However, this took is helpful for success and support teams as post sale needs to have some visibility into what occurred in the buying cycle. Gong eliminates the need for repetition and multiple hand-off meetings or knowledge transfer meetings as it has everything logged and stored. In short, using this tool can equate to a faster time to success.
A necessary tool to increase transparency across your organization and increase your skillset
What do you like best about the product?
Gong has a variety of features to help you evaluate your calls, rather than just keeping a simple recording of it. The stats it tracks and the metrics it gathers relative to your colleagues along with what they recommend adds a great feedback layer within the tool itself. The ability to easily tag a user and see the other conversations colleagues are having with customers is invaluable and has added a new level of transparency for our company.
There's also a tracking element where you can identify certain words or phrases to aggregate different themes in your calls. You can also use words like "follow-up" that would be mentioned in a call to trigger a reminder email to you to remember to follow up with whoever you were speaking to.

What do you dislike about the product?
Gong does rely on automated transcription to capture themes and that does affect how it measures the various stats it captures. While it's mostly helpful it can definitely be improved. The overall style can also be improved to look more professional. I'm not sure why there are kids with test tubes on the website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gong gives everyone insight into what our customers are saying. It has helped our sales teams coach employees to improve their interactions and it has helped our product team to easily monitor customer feedback. Overall, transparency has increased as it has further integrated various teams of our company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Integrate it with your conference calling software and give access to everyone across your org to further enhance cross-team collaboration
Great tool for communicating and coaching
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to have an intelligent conversation software that I can use. I love using the point of interest feature and look at tracker words, these are specific words that I am looking for to notate if clients or reps mention.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve can be steep, there is a lot of features to learn and implement if you are really wanting to use all its capabilities.
Half of our team has not implemented this tool yet, some of my reps do not know how to truly utilize its features. it takes time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to look at communication and dice parts that are relevant withing seconds. The ability to share transcripts with my reps for coaching purposes or to my clients.
Also, the fact that it gives me some analytics and best practices for training purposes.
It has created a culture of awareness and transparency within the team, they have embraced the fact that we will celebrate their approach during calls and talk about things that we can improve on. We even have a 'gong call" section for our weekly team meetings that we share a snippet of a call and we talk about the good and the bad and talk about the takeaways and things we will implement in the future.

This is definitely a great tool to track communication performance and effectiveness. It will take some time to get comfortable with it, but it's definitely worth it!
Perfect way to ensure calls are compliant
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to search keywords greatly improves confidence that your sales team is on the right track and is saying the right things, and not using terms or phrases that are not compliant with industry standards or regulations. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. The transcription also allows for faster process of key areas that have be identified by Gong's native machine learning. I love the ease of recording calls so I can go back and listen to my own abilities, as well as the performance of my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
While listening to conversations, you can't start listening in the middle of a lengthy explanation, you have to start from the beginning of when someone begins speaking. This is a relatively minor issue since most of the time, starting from the beginning of the sentence is usually preferred.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Have saved countless hours in reviewing calls, because Gong makes it possible to achieve quality control by keeping you from having to listen to calls/parts of calls that are not relevant to review. I would rate my overall experience with Gong a 10. It is solving the problem of reps being distracted on calls trying to talk to clients, fully listen, and also take detailed notes. Has also been a great resource for our new hires to review and watch demos.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are adding new people to the team, this tool is a must for making sure the new sales people are on the right track and can really aid in individual success.

Gong is a life saver
What do you like best about the product?
Pretty much everything but mainly how it breaks down calls into my main topics so I can quickly look back and see what we talked about, whether it be pricing, integrations, etc. I also like that Gong has an app so I can listen in my car or on the go.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing yet, it meets every one of my standards
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I take 5-10 demos a day, usually back to back. By the time I have a moment to write follow up emails, I have completely forgotten about what we talked about 3 hours ago. Gong gives me the ability to look back into the call and easily pick out the information I need.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Gong for many reasons. One to be able to have all your calls digitally in one place that you can always look back at. It is also amazing for call intelligence, whether you want to break down call metrics or directly go to the point in the call where you are looking for specific information.

The AI capabilities allows me to streamline and improve my call references. This helps me save a lot of time and give me the opportunity to get on the phone more often.
What do you dislike about the product?
Gong is an excellent application with a simple UI platform, nothing I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to become a better salesperson by analyzing my talk to client time ratio, keywords, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The more you use Gong the better it gets with AI and analytics.
Great tool far beyond sales
What do you like best about the product?
The automated recording of calls makes it a must for any client-facing team, letting you focus on what's going on and having a normal conversation instead of trying to write down everything that it's shared. This is huge especially with shared screens as the recording will show you all the clicks and pop-ups on screen, which is a great asset for Customer Success, Professional Services and Support agents troubleshotting.
Our dedicated CSM has also been a fantastic partner, helping us optimize our setup and leverage more features that we hadn't taken advantage of yet.

What do you dislike about the product?
The speech-to-text feature is heavily focussed in English - anything in a different language gets lost, and even when someone with a strong accent is speaking. It's normally better to just listen to the audio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a team lead, I use Gong to see with the team where we need to focus and to provide feedback on how to navigate certain topics and conversations.
