What it is

Overview

Sales and revenue teams struggle with fragmented visibility into customer interactions, making it difficult to understand what drives deals forward or predict pipeline outcomes accurately. Traditional CRM systems capture basic data points but miss the nuanced insights hidden in actual customer conversations, leaving revenue leaders to make decisions with incomplete information.

Gong is truly amazing. The customer success support is great and the product really works. Most importantly they listen to users through their product feedback process. Highly recommend.

Gong Engage is the worst platform I have used. It has cost our business so much ££ in pipeline. Do not use.

POSITIVE reddit

I've been on Gong for about 8 months now and the conversation intelligence is insane. Our close rate jumped by like 9 points just from coaching based on what Gong surfaces. The AI picks up on stuff I never would have caught - like how often reps interrupt prospects or when they lose deals after mentioning price too early.The trackers and deal insights are solid too. Love being able to search across all our calls for specific competitor mentions or objections. Helps our enablement team build bett

Running an SDR team here. Avoid the tool at all costs.its way too early of a build out and is missing crucial features needed. Outbound work is almost impossible due to lack of integrations. It’s also incredibly buggy and even in one case continued sending emails when flows were deactivated for a holiday. Currently in the process of switching to Outreach.

I have a relatively small team and would not be able to live without Gong after implementing last year. Find the budget, it’s worth it.

NEGATIVE reddit

Our Gong renewal is coming up and I'm having a hard time justifying $100+/user/month when we're honestly only using maybe 20% of the features. The conversation intelligence is solid but we don't touch half the analytics, the auto-generated follow-up emails need so much editing they're not worth it, and recaps sometimes take 2-4 hours to arrive. We're a 15-person sales team and the CFO is asking why we're spending $18k/year on a tool when most of us just want meeting notes, action items, and basi

I'm a gong partner (as an independent RevOps consultant), have been for ages, but pricing is getting really steep now. Recently I've now partnered with Curvo.ai as well, very similar (without the forecasting stuff) but around 40% less cost. If you're purely looking for the call recordings being mapped to qualification methodology and then AI coaching after the call, something like TLDV does the job. Again much cheaper than both above. But now there are loads of alternatives to TLDV in that lower

Incredible solution | It is amazing for reducing admin by taking notes automatically, but it also does this way better than manual note taking. This allows me to focus on the conversation itself (not just documenting it!). Notes from Gong are also much better than any I'd take myself. It is also excellent at coaching by delivering direct feedback and allowing such easy playback and sharing. | Pros: Highly automated - it always just works! | Pros: Excellent UI: easy to navigate but an abundance

Terrible extension. Not sure how this has such positive reviews. Constantly breaks and needs to be reinstalled. You have to do a lot of tinkering just to get a contact to load

NEGATIVE chrome_web_store

There's so many bugs everywhere. It cannot do basic things like stopping sequences if a prospect replies or books meetings. It slows down the system by a lot and there customer support is not helpful.

Ridiculous after sale experience! If you have a problem good luck! One star is being kind.

NEGATIVE trustpilot

If I can give no star I will. I registered for a demo and then got an email from a sales rep telling me from looking at LinkedIn we are too small to use Gong, but let’s hear from us anyway. And then asked me to reply to a list of stuff that can be done in a quick call. The cheek! The arrogance. If you give us some idea of what size company might benefit on your website I might well not bother to waste anyone’s time; some ideas of prices will also help. I just don’t need to be insulted by someon

I wish I had this years ago — Gong has been crucial to help with sales strategy and closing deals at faster rates. Selling is a team sport, and by having access to Gong's analytics of not just my calls, but calls from the rest of the company with active feedback is helpful. — Gong is top quality when it comes to call analytics and support. I can easily discover the \"good\" and the \"bad\" of calls, discover more about talk ratio, and the videos are easily sharable to help with collaboration. —

Works beautifully, makes coaching far easier. — Overall I really enjoy the tool, and I like that it makes it easy to do multiple different things under the sales umbrella — Gong makes it very easy to do a lot, most importantly record and listen back to sales calls and monitor our sales forecast. The software is very easy to use, and integrates with our gmail and with salesforce to make sure everything runs seamlessly. — Sometimes the recorder doesn't join the meeting right away and will randomly
