Gong vs. Salesforce Maps

Appropriate when: There's some kind of repetition and success formula that you're trying to find out. You have a big team, and you're trying to find something that works. Then gong will be helpful. In my experience, B2B SaaS will almost always benefit from it. Less well suited when: You're making big deals over a small number of very specific clients. I worked for a little bit in government and oil&gas deals, and everything in each deal varies wildly - can't see gong being that big of a help here.

If you are a small business or have a small team in the field, anything Salesforce and its components should be avoided. Its price-point and ROI are overstated.

• Call recording: you can see a transcript and also set-up trackers for keywords like competitor names being mentioned.
• Active conversations in accounts: I get email reports on all active conversations that have happened with Gong so I can see across the Global team what meetings the team are having and make sure we are coordinated on large strategic accounts.
• Call sharing/collaboration: the native integration with Slack means I can tag and talk to my team about calls via slack messages, and then the conversation will still appear in Gong and vice versa. This helps my team receive feedback where they are working and removes the need to check Gong to see if there is feedback there. This helps reduce tech fatigue.

• Color coding different accounts or data fields.
• Ability to see travel time and not just distance.
• Lots of data fields to pull from - big recent improvement.

• Notes in app - there needs to be an option to download your notes or a better formatted copy/paste for this function.
• Transcript - make this downloadable so it can be copied/pasted/reformatted for CSM's who have to input notes into other systems.

• Lots of glitches
• Get signed out often, which interrupts the day
• Could be more intuitive

I gave this rating because Gong is the best Conversation Intelligence software in the Marketing. It is efficient, user-friendly and easy to integrate

I think it's very easy to use and navigate. Occasionally, I find something things harder to find or I am unsure of their meaning. The Gong support team though are excellent and will quickly help with answers or jump on a call to review where you are at. Generally, an easy to use tool.

Worked well once you figured it out. The 'help portal' was no 'help'. Once you get done self-teaching yourself enough of the terminology and workings, it is pretty quick and easy to use. But the learning curve, again, is not worth the time or effort

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

Support was comical. It was barely available and the few times I did get help the language barrier was extraordinarily problematic

I wasn't part of the team that implemented. I tapped "eight" above, because an alert appeared in the screen saying that this question was required.

The Gong video library is much easier to navigate. I like that everything is saved in one place that I can navigate instead of separate video files that I have to download. I also think it's really cool that our whole company can access and watch each other's meetings and videos. I sometimes watch videos of customer calls with the sales team when an account is being passed to me to get a better idea of what they've already discussed with our teams, and I'll watch calls where coworkers have discussed similar topics to what I'm working on to train myself on different subject areas. I enjoy how Gong promotes greater transparency within the company and greater collaboration between teams as a result.

MapAnything is very easy to use but it appears that similar companies are too. Because of the new pricing structure, they are expensive.
