Clari vs. Gong

Clari works well for sales and executive leadership teams that perform at a high level and collaborate well together. Everyone utilizing Clari needs to understand that it will provide the company with the information it needs to make strategic business decisions. It can not be seen as a more sophisticated way to manage SFDC information. If the company is truly dedicated to improving its forecasting capabilities, then Clari could be worth the investment. If it is just being used to capture sales leaders' forecasts, you don't need Clari. Overall, Clari is a great capability, but you need a good business case to justify the expense.

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

• Sales pipeline management: Clari provides real-time visibility into the sales pipeline, enabling sales teams to track the progress of deals and make informed decisions.
• Revenue forecasting: The platform integrates with existing sales and marketing tools, giving organizations a comprehensive view of their sales pipeline and enabling accurate revenue forecasting.
• Advanced analytics: Clari uses machine learning and advanced analytics to provide actionable insights into sales performance and help organizations make informed decisions about their sales strategy.

• Recommendations to improve (silence time, speaking ratio, etc.)
• Source of absolute truth! So easy to see what meetings have been done, and how it was done. No more he says she says
• Transcription - it has been accurate, and helps when trying to learn how to handle rejections

Incentivized

• Forecast screen could be easier to interact with. I believe UI's that make users scroll horizontally lead to confuse and missed content since we rarely scroll horizontally on the internet. It's not as natural
• Enablement; I am confident my team is underutilizing Clari and that there are many more features that we should take advantage of. For example, the Dashboard screen looks good but in our company, our practice is to use the forecast and opportunity tabs instead. Reps and managers could benefit from a 30 min or 1-hour training session quarterly
• I like the opportunity score tracker but it would be great to know more of what comprises the score instead of feeling that it is just an AI. Perhaps giving the user more opportunity to validate or put their own spin to the score

• Would like to have Gong use AI to alert me when a customer is at risk for attrition
• Would like to make it easier to search on Accounts. When I type into the search field, sometimes multiple accounts appear, and when I click on one, there's an error.

We love Gong and our customers like it too. We can bring additional value by being to provide a dialogue of all our customer conversations.

Clari is very good when it comes to usability as I'm accessing it on daily basis as long as I'm on my Notebook, it helps a lot having visibility on my business status and progress on achievement. I can estimate my weekly, monthly, and yearly opportunities closure and revenue. I have some saved views which are so useful to get what I want to see.

Esy and simple to use outside of a few clunky moments with integrating to zoom/gcal or resetting the duration of recordings. Overall it's a really great tool that certainly empowers customer success and account managers to add of ton of value to the customer experience in a really simple way and makes the process more smooth and secure.

Clari is very willing to jump in and build out use cases. They will work to do anything for you. That said, their follow up is not great. We have had to reach out for follow up several times on a project, which is still not complete. I wish they taught us how to complete what we want, rather than doing it in house for us

I give them a 10 because, I have been using Gong for over a year now and have never had issues or concerns go un resolved in a day or two. Their communication is impeccable and their tech support is very hands on and prompt

The Clari professional services team was great and kept us on our timeline. No complaints. Nothing amazing to report.

This is nothing something I'm able to answer

Clari was selected due to the flawless integration with Salesforce, updates are made in real time. Being able to monitor everything at a scalable level has also been critical for our team. For example, we have different views established that show the rep level, manager level, director, customer segment. This eliminates unnecessary forecast/pipeline meetings

We used to use Zoom recordings but they don't compare, we also had to spend a ton on extra storage while Gong is unlimited. In my opinion, Zoom/etc. provides no insights, no ability to score calls, no collaboration, poor sharing, etc.

• We have significantly decreased the number of overdue deals in our funnel.
• We stay on top of deals within the pipeline much better now, since there is more transparency and accountability. This has sped up our sales cycle and our funnel is much more clean.

Incentivized

• Greater collaboration across internal teams
• Improved presentation and conversation skills, based on manager feedback and individual assessment
• Improved patience (must fewer instances of interrupting customers thanks to Gong)
• Customers are more confident in their decisions (when they can rewatch demos)
• Better alignment with customers, since we can be truly present on the call then listen to the recording later instead of taking notes in real-time
