Zoom Revenue Accelerator , the evolution of Zoom IQ, is a conversation intelligence tool, available for users of Zoom Meetings.
Our reps preferred Gong; they were more familiar with it and found it easier to use. Gong was more expensive by far, and there were many more affordable options on the market, but at the time, we also considered switching costs and decided to stay with Gong. The mobile app was …
Gong had to many features that would have done unused, Zoom IQ was a way to start out and get things going and making sure there was a for for sales IQ in the sales department before going all in
Gong is another great tool and primarily focused on conversion. Zoom IQ is kind of add on over your Zoom but Gong is only conversion focused so little edge over that. But zooms accuracy we found to be better in certain cases when compared to Gong. Zoom is more easier to use as …
For sales management, Gong has greater more useful tools and an easier user interface making it easier specially for managers to organize coaching and feedback calls per rep. Chorus.ai does mainly the same but lags behind Gong on user experience so I won´t put this as a pro …
Zoom Revenue Accelerator gives us better automatic metrics than Gong, better conversational parsing, and very valuable follow up data. We went with Revenue Accelerator so we could get those benefits and also simplify our tech stack by vertically integrating video calls with …
Comparable but easier to bake in since already our web conference standard

I mainly went with Zoom Revenue Accelerator because I wanted it to work very well, as natively as possible, with the Zoom ecosystem we have at my company.
We use Zoom for our meetings, and in some teams we also use Zoom Phone, which also works quite well with Zoom Revenue …

The features these sales enablement tools provide are pretty much the same in the aspect of usability and functionality. The advantage Zoom IQ gets over others is easy of integrating it with the default communication and collaboration tool from Zoom. Keeping things connected …
Gong is a wonderful tool to be able to make sure that a call is recorded properly with next steps highlighted by an AI once the transcript has been processed. Our organization uses the clip functionality quite often to share a prospect question internally with the appropriate parties, and the sales and CS teams have it synced to SFDC so they can see the opportunity value associated with each call.
I think CPQ had worked so well for our company because of the widespread nature of our associates and tracking orders that were being placed in multiple time zones. My team specifically needed a way of analyzing these orders to track our progress in real time and sort out any supply orders before they became an issue. If you are in a centralized location with a smaller team then this may not yield much use to you.
Zoom Revenue Accelerator excels at the everyday conversations, clients wanting to understand the market, how to use the product, or just to have a chat with their broker. ZRA eats these up, provides accurate sentiment analysis, and decent enough summaries that we can start to gleam insight from the myriad conversations our client facing team are exposed to each day. Where it doesn't fully align with our business model is how it integrates with our CRM. ZRA is built for the B2B industry, and wants to attach conversations to contacts associated with deals in pipelines etc. It as a product has a poor grasp on the day to day interactions B2C businesses have with their clients, and Zoom have a lot of opportunity ahead at solving those problems.
The history is quite useful in many aspects of my daily work, as I have a complete and detailed view of transcribed calls and email summaries of previously exchanged emails.
It's like an assistant; I can receive email reminders about things discussed during a video call, such as the upcoming date of a scheduled meeting or notes on certain key aspects the client needs for their order.
I can share calls through Gong with my clients. This gives me an added advantage, allowing the client to have reminders or a record of what was discussed without having to worry about manually taking notes.
The interface is complex but easy to learn, has many assistant-like features, and can also be integrated into many calling platforms, such as Zoom.
Significant setup time, cost, and maintenance. We have to use an implementation partner
Does not always play well with other software, even Oracle software. While this is improved and being further improved, that it was a third party acquisition means things sometimes require a little extra care
Additional setup documentation and first walkthroughs would be helpful, especially if it was all in one place
Gong is one of the best if not the best tools we have in or tech stack in terms of ROI and ease of use. The ai features that have been released over the past year have continued to add value and are not just shiny new features that don't get used. It is also an easy to use platform for our sales and customer success reps, takes very little time to become proficient in. The deal boards also provide great visibility into opps for management and leadership
So far it is all good with BigMachines, looking for new features since Oracle acquisition has created a lot of expectations. We have outlined our limitations (out of box functionality) in our periodic customer successor advice meetings for a while, hope we get a resolution soon. Also, the BigMachines user license fee has increased a lot in the last three years.
By default it automatically provides a lot of proactive information. Out of the box you can get a lot of value from what gets recorded with minimal setting adjustment. The effort you put in to enhancing it just makes it all the more powerful but you do not have to have a dedicated admin to get basic usage out of it.
The software UI can be as complex or as simple as you need it to be (depending on the business). It does require training others on quote configuration and the order in which to build out order positions prior to configuring a quote. Once users are trained;however, it is fairly straight-forward. The UI is still more static than other new wizard/drag-and-drop models, but it get's the job done
Once you're through the setup it couldn't be easier. For our client facing team members it was very much an experience of. Today you're using "App A" and tomorrow log into Zoom and you're all setup. Zoom Revenue Accelerator is effortless for an end user to pick up and start using. But the setup is where you need help to understand. Various things with where recordings are stored, how calls are routed, and even who can access what phone numbers and recordings can be challenging to setup without help. And a number of docs aren't as up to date as they could be, given the Zoom UI can change so rapidly. Once they solve the sprawling admin side of the product, it'll be a 10 out of 10.
It depends upon the day however there are so many failure points with online services, including our internet service, that this is probably closer to 9 with the latest version
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
Some specific support personal was good and fixed some problems fast using proper solutions. But when one of them went to sleep when we had critical issues and they do unreported commits to our production environment which caused issues and they were hiding it?? you can not give more than a two (maybe even that is too much). They also failed to add a feature for us which also bring the grade down.
They have pretty good training. Our business analysts have been able to go to entry and advanced level training. They have a train the trainer model. Our business analyst attended training, then trained the rest of our staff.
It was a much more technical implementation than we thought. It involved much more code.
Future releases have made and will make administering the tool easier.
EDL consulting had one good developer, but when he was moved off, they were horrible to work with.
The BMI sales team does a “BOA” or a “Business Operation Assessment” which is extremely valuable, not only for them to scope an implementation and get more reach within the organization, but it is also a documentation of business process that most organizations don’t have. It highlights inefficiencies and allows for correction during implementation.
Having a dedicated team (in-house) for implementation is key
I've used Chorus at a past company. It seems to do the transcriptions similarly accurately to Gong. Good enough call recording. The call feedback can be done too although maybe not as easily. I do not believe Chorus can create call playlists. I do feel there are a lot less analytics pieces to Chorus too. There are many feature addons in Gong to help sales motions.
Oracle engagement is ahead. They are active in the development of the tool and provide great support after implementation. They also listen to their customers and offer opportunities to feedback and provide input through activities like the customer advisory board forum.
Chorus.ai is very similar to Zoom IQ. I think the sales team should invest in either product. I was not involved in the purchasing process so I am not sure why one company was chosen over the other for us to work with.
saves a lot of time, mainly thanks to call summaries & next steps as well as workflows allowing to automate communication
I could say that generally speaking it does increase revenue because you can do more work in the same period of time > more leads, more opportunities, more sales
Increased Sales Rep efficiency. Being able to create multiple quotes ACCURATELY and quickly was a game changer.
Large implementation time. It's a little difficult to fit BMI into a SCRUM style build, with multiple working models and prototypes of all 3 simultaneously.
A larger fee for licensing and implementation cost. ROI wouldn't be realized in the first year.
Allows me to be Building repeatable scalable processes! Being authentic and creating more humility amongst the locker room.
Provides stark contrast to those reps in the middle of the pack vs high activity top performers. I don’t always “see” the winning behaviors of the top reps, the win through effort, but many have a lot to learn about themselves and have even more opportunity to win more!
Provides self awareness and coaching opportunities for the individual producers on their own
