Not sure. I have not used Chorus yet but heard that it is comparable to Gong.io

I don't have much experience with Gong so it's difficult to determine how the two stack up. In my limited usage of Gong, it seems less intuitive than Groove. I was able to eventually figure out how to do basic functions within Gong but still prefer using Groove for similar tasks.
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Groove is at the top of my list in comparison to others in the market.
Chose Groove, a Clari company
The ease of use, pricing, installation and most importantly the connection to Campaigns were the deciding factor for Groove. The CSM and implementation team were a bonus!
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Better and more integrations! Easier to use and has less issues compare to previous tools that we have used. Offers more features that can be utilized by multiple teams
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Groove saved our team a lot of money compared to Salesloft who we used to have a contract with. Groove was much more simple and straight forward and more aligned with syncing to our CRM. Groove also has reps available every hour every business day in case we need assistance or …
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Likes Groove much better. CTA are great
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Before Groove I used Outreach at my last organization and think the tools are pretty similar. I will say I like the flow steps better in Groove and the analytics are better to me. The design also looks nicer on Groove.
Chose Groove, a Clari company
I prefer Groove over Salesloft, Outreach.io, Close.io, etc because it designed for the rep not the manager or the administrator. Makes the rep life easier which increased productivity and provides accuracy in the CRM. My reps have adopted Groove so much faster than any …
Chose Groove, a Clari company
One of the main reasons why we chose to switch from Outreach to Groove, was due to the fact that Groove is an app that sits in our SFDC instance, and integrates with Gsuite. While Outreach does have an integration with SFDC and Gsuite, it required more admin work in setting up …
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Utilizing Engage (this may be an internal tool) & Seismic Live Send. Seismic Live Send overs similar tracking. I've just found very low response rate/email opens from the tool vs. Groove. The only advantage Seismic had was quick access to all of our internal marketing that …
Chose Groove, a Clari company
We use custom objects so we are thankful to have Groove. Other engagement tools like Salesloft and Outreach do not use custom objects, so Groove was a no-brainer for us.
Chose Groove, a Clari company
I use HubSpot for the marketing aspects. Not so much for the outreach or action items.
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Groove doesn't compare to any other products we have used and its functionality and data entry is far above any competitor! Without Groove day business would not be the same!
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Groove is really helpful for all of our meeting types as opposed to Gong which we did attempt to use in the past.
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Groove has way better features and is easier to use. Yesware did allow you to organize your flows by folder which was nice. I am not a fan of the labels in Groove, I think they are pointless.
Chose Groove, a Clari company
I have not used a tool like Groove prior to using Groove.
Chose Groove, a Clari company
Although I wasn't the decision maker, I have found that Groove's data tracking is slightly more user friendly than Yesware. Additionally, Groove has made themselves fully available for any trouble shooting or tech issues which is such a value add to someone who can be a bit …
Chose Groove, a Clari company
I don't have much experience with others, but I know my company did extensive research and trialed many before deciding on this tool.

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

  • Groove is excellent for the use case of improving sales representative and customer success representative productivity and data quality when used alongside Salesforce. It is a Salesforce focused tool. You should definitely consider Groove if you are a current Salesloft / Outreach user and you also use Salesforce.
  • Groove would not be a good fit for an organization not using Salesforce.

Cons
Gong.io
  • 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.

I actually don't have any complaint regarding groove. It's just that I will give 9 since I confidently believe that there'd be updates in the future which would be more optimal not just for us users but for the business as well. The only regret I have with groove is I was not able to use it before the current company that I'm employed

Usability
Gong.io
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.

Groove has been an awesome platform to use for sales pipeline management. I really enjoy how it integrates with my Salesforce, Gmail, and Google Calendar. It makes my job easier by helping me keep track of the progress of each sales contact that I have. Leads are able to reply and notify us using Groove.

Alternatives Considered

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.

I have used Dialpad. Dialpad is great, and Groove in my opinion does everything Dialpad does. Dialpad lacks the automation, which makes me feel that Groove is much better. I have not used any other CRMS besides these two, but I do believe Groove is light years ahead of Dialpad.

Return on Investment
Gong.io
  • 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

  • Reduced several hours a week of logging time in Salesforce that either wouldn't get done or would have been done to the detriment of more value add activities.
  • Saves hours per week by delivering actionable/useful info from Salesforce into Gmail
  • Gives me valuable insight on what emails are being opened and read. This helps plan targeting.
