Balto vs. Chorus by ZoomInfo

New agents are given Balto and are able to take calls successfully from day one. They take incoming calls and Balto listens to both sides of the conversation and when things are said it will prompt the agent to move forward in different ways. It also will prompt if agents are speaking too much or if the agent isn't listening and asking the same question it will prompt them.

Chorus by ZoomInfo is great when I’m running back-to-back sales calls and don’t have time for detailed notes. It captures follow-up items, competitor mentions, and even customer questions I might have missed in the moment. It’s also helpful for coaching new reps. Where it’s less useful is on super short internal check-ins or casual conversations where full transcripts and insights aren’t really needed.

• Lights up to let us know we are following the script.
• Makes sure we are asking and gathering all the correct questions.
• I like that we get confetti at the end to tell us we have done a good job.

• Great job on putting the conversion metrics. It's a big help knowing our metrics in every meeting.
• We learned what areas need to be improved and also the strength we had during that conversation.
• It also provides the length of speech of each participants.

• Sometimes there were issues with the 3-minute delay for Chorus joining a live meeting.
• Occasionally, deliverables were assigned to the wrong person in the summary if their voices were similar or if they were on the same audio.
• Occasionally, the Chorus had problems picking up on what someone was saying. This was likely due to user error but caused gaps in the conversation recording and transcript.

It's hard for me to give anything more than a 5 at this point. The primary reason is that we have only used it for a few months and I'm still getting a feel for the level of value it provides both to me and the team. In 4 or 5 months I'll have a better understanding of its value long term

This was sold internally as something that would help us be more efficient. I had high hopes that the speech-to-text feature would be useful for getting call notes/next steps, etc documented. But due to the limitations of the software, these things would take longer using Chorus than if I just write things down manually - disappointing.

I personally have not had too many major issues with Chorus, but the times that I have reached out to their customer support team I have always received great responses in a very timely manner. Their support team is trained in a very polite way and cares about resolving your issue. They are knowledgeable and helpful and the customer service line does not take long to connect to a real individual.

Like I noted in the other category, it has been smooth for the most part. But we really do enjoy the hard work of our CSM and everything he has been able to provide us in terms of support.

Chorus by ZoomInfo offers a balanced approach compared to these platforms. Against Salesloft, Chorus provides better conversation intelligence and AI-driven insights while Salesloft excels in cadence management. Versus Gong, Chorus delivers similar analytics with a more intuitive user interface and faster implementation. Compared to Microsoft Teams, Chorus transforms basic call recording into actionable sales intelligence with advanced coaching features Teams lacks.
What sets Chorus apart is its functionality and usability - robust enough for enterprise needs without complexity, yet more sophisticated than other software with basic features. The ZoomInfo integration also provides unique prospecting context that enhances conversation preparation
