    DemandTools is good for almost everything related to mass data manipulation. The only scenario I haven't tried using DemandTools and was recommended to use Data Loader for was inserting records while keeping the original created date. The issue was that we had a disconnection with an external messaging partner, and when the records were retrieved, a few days had passed since the original day of the incoming messages. To insert the messages while keeping the original created date, DataLoader was helpful. I am not sure how to do that in DemandTools. But again, for everything else, DemandTools is a lifesaver.

    I think Gong is well suited when you are having a company that makes a lot of calls to clients or receives a lot of calls. It is very important. I think, from a business standpoint, to log all of the calls and conversations that are had to use in case anything ever comes up. Also, just to make sure that your employees are doing well on the calls, because you cannot monitor every single call personally. Having this as a reference point to listen to things that might be important versus not is awesome. it might be less appropriate if you are not really interacting a ton with the clients. If you are more so just doing business meetings, then it might not be needed. However, I do think it's a great tool overall because it provides the AI note recap from the calls and logs everything that might be helpful for any reason

    Cons
    Validity
    • I wish I could make changes to my existing scenarios using save rather than having to create a whole new scenario. Maybe you can, I just haven't been able to.
    • Some features aren't user intuitive and it takes a while to learn.

    • A history tracker (similar to Google Sheets/Excel) - it'd be nice to see WHO was changing certain fields and when exactly.
    • Dark mode.
    • A quick checklist when getting started to ensure I'm getting the most out of the platform (e.g., Gong Connect, Gong Import).

    It's a great product. The only thing that holds us back is it was frustrating working with their sales team. We also don't like that when Validity purchased DemandTools they immediately started charging us quite a bit while it had been free for non-profit users when CRMFusion owned it. They also don't let you buy it for just 1 or 2 seats, you have to pay, I believe, in batches of 100 seats.

    I don't make these decisions for our company, but I would highly encourage our use of Gong to continue. Gong has been very helpful in my sales role in terms of staying organized and on top of accounts, completing actions in a timely manner, and moving deals forward with better insights

    Allows for control in uploading lists, saved processes for checking duplicate records.

    Allows for backup files and quick reverts if something goes wrong.

    Extends reporting when Salesforce.com cannot support specific pieces of info being put together in a report.

    Automated processes for set and forget hygiene tasks

    It does great for all the things I've mentioned. I didn't give it a 10/10 because I still think there is room to improve as far as improving the quality of the insights that are more actionable. I.e. this happened so you should think about doing this thing as a next step.

    Support can be slow so do not expect quick turn for urgent issues.
    Help for specific queries not not there. Product tech support is offered. It would be great if query support, even if paid, was offered
    The training webinars help with the basics but not much if you need advanced functionality.

    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

    Though RingLead has much more to offer in terms of automation (and it is in Salesforce rather than a separate program), DemandTools still has our heart. DemandTools is very cost-friendly and we were able to increase the value of DemandTools by programming in additional saved scenarios. I decreased admin time in the DemandTools suite by approximately 25% after implementing saved scenarios for every reoccurring update or list upload.

    It stacks up in a different way. All of these companies try to do some feature that Gong does. Like Call recording, call analysis, AI discovery, Forecasting and Sales Activity tracking. Gong beats most, Otter.ai is a growing competitor though.

    Return on Investment
    Validity
    • It is a tremendous time saver. It does things Salesforce doesn't even have the capability to do. Tasks that would take hours to manually complete.
    • We can process a tremendous amount of data daily through one person, vs. weeks for the data to be cleaned, reviewed, routed and input.
    • Saves on headcount by allowing a dedicated user to set up batches and jobs for other teams to ensure their data integrity.
    • The return on investment isn't easily quantifiable but it is FELT in our department.

    • I don't have specific metrics since this feature isn't used in my job personally, but I do know that our sales and CS teams use Gong with SFDC opportunities to help with forecasting closed won opportunities based on intent captured within the call.
