Gong vs. SalesPanda

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.

SalesPanda is great. It's a multifaceted user-friendly platform to find your target market, determine interest, and help drive your market. I've reviewed a LOT of software on this same platform and while I can sing the praises of this all day, it's not much different from the other software that's already readily available. I will say this is great for a mid-size agency, as there's no option to purchase separate components separately, and that can be a bit pricey.

• 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.

• They offer a free trial – I know this sounds pretty basic, but not all software offers that. Especially in a market saturated with marketing campaign software, this is a HUGE plus.
• SalesPanda offers training through online webinars – there isn't a need to go searching around on YouTube if you don't understand something. Additional plus!
• Their customer support is top-notch. If we ever ran into an issue, we were never on hold for longer than a couple of minutes. Excellent attention to customer care.

• 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.

• We didn't like that SalesPanda came as an entire package (which can be pricey). It would be nice if you could purchase different parts of it separately.
• There's no A/B testing. This is something others offer that SalesPanda doesn't.
• While customer service is great, their business hours are a little wonky. I'd prefer to have 24/7 customer care rather than 8-5.

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.

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

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.

Zoho Campaigns is super affordable, but very basic with what you get. SalesPanda is similar, and while that may be appealing to a smaller company, I would say take the leap and spend the extra money. SalesPanda isn't perfect, but it's the best bang for your proverbial buck. Our clients have been very happy with the results.
