Gong vs. NICE Engage Platform

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

If you need a customer communication tool that has almost all the functionality out of the box this program is for you. However now that other services have more AI capability we are changing to a new service that will reduce the workload on our agents and allow us to automate many customer interactions. The pricing of another service is also more varied based on usage and our current inflow is lower than before so our cost should drop with that decreased communication

• Provides executive summaries for meeting notes and email follow ups.
• AI Briefs allow anyone to seek information on a particular customer in a matter of seconds.
• Scores calls such as EBRs or new business sales calls that can be used by management for coaching.
• Provides accurate forecasting and visibility to sales leaders.
• Theme spotter can be used to gather feedback and provide data to management for opportunities we continuously here from our clients.
• Accurately depict key points from conversations and allows for different brief themes to quickly get the information needed for teammates throughout the organization.

Incentivized

• Great call recall and review tools.
• The dashboards are simple to set up and monitor
• Data is readily available for all interactions

Incentivized

• 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).

• Ever since we have had NICE Engage Platform we have had issues with the program auto refusing calls and texts for our agents which luckily just routes to the next agent but this is hurting their call metrics.
• The cost is more expensive that some comparable options
• Texting functionality is somewhat limited and seeing the text history is also lacking.

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

Incentivized

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.

Could improve at parts to assist with troubleshooting crashes further

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

This is nothing something I'm able to answer

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.

NICE Engage Platform has way more functionality than Simpletext and it allowed us to have calls and texts handled by one system rather than having to use two separate tools. NICE Engage Platform also allowed us to launch web chat functionality for those visiting our website. There was also no way with Simpletext to see what agent was responding to each text. It was a freeforall in the inbox. No integration into our CRM either.

• 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.

• Documentation of our communication was much improved compared to our previous service
• The ability to distinguish interactions between departments had a large impact on response times for customers.
• We have 15,000 customers and were able to handle roughly 3,000 interactions per week with them as well as future customers.
