Gong vs. Seismic

Gong is great for Sales people trying to capture all details with customer engagement, so it is ideal in that industry. I am not sure if Gong would be as strong of a tool if you are in Law or Finance there might be privacy concerns around what is said and stored.

Seismic excels at being a one-stop shop for all content that is relevant to salespeople and the deal cycles they work through. It does a great job not only making content and training readily available but also at distributing the right content at the right time/for the right scenario. Based on my experience with the tool, this was a go-to for many reps (myself included) because it saved us so much time. Rather than sifting through documents and collateral, we could easily find what we needed in a matter of moments.

• AI summaries- reviewing everything discussed without going through the whole recording or transcript.
• Next steps summary- helping me tie up my meeting with action items after the fact.
• Call statistics let me know how frequently everyone is speaking and where patience can be practiced in allowing others to speak.

Incentivized

• Seismic allows for one location to store all relevant content so that associates are not having to spend as much time searching for what they need.
• Seismic provides the ability to fully customize content such that one template can serve many needs with the simple ability to answer questions that drive the customization in the content. This customization can range from simple to quite complex depending on your level of expertise with the tool.
• Seismic provides a lot of flexibility when it comes to organizing your content and how to make the experience of accessing that content unique to the needs of each user in the system.

Incentivized

• It could use a predefined follow-up email template and populate the predefined fields or questions.
• It could ask you when to start recording (on Zoom) instead of doing it at some awkward random moment.
• It sometimes misses the speaker when creating a transcript.

Incentivized

• Adding more integration points and use cases with Salesforce would be good to have
• Navigating to a specific resource gets cumbersome sometimes especially with lots of content
• Bulk user operations and taking actions on behalf of other users would be good to have as well

We love Gong and our customers like it too. We can bring additional value by being to provide a dialogue of all our customer conversations.

It's got a solid infrastructure; it doesn't take too much time to understand how it works, and it can get many of the features up and running fairly quickly. It's pretty intuitive to use most of it, although some features might require a deeper dive. Sometimes, I find myself clicking through a million screens to get a report.

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

Seismic's support team has been exceptional at providing support when an issue has come up, or when we have had questions regarding the platform. They have responded quickly, and I feel as if they truly try to find a solution to the quickest of their abilities. My team and I truly feel supported when it comes to reaching out to Seismic.

This is nothing something I'm able to answer

The chorus is good, but Gong is a little better in every aspect. But not much. Outreach's AI is pretty good and helps with live training and feedback. I think many of the solutions are comparable; at that point, it's about what's in your current tech stack and how to avoid overlap. In my situation, we already have Hubspot, so Outreach was not required.

Savo, Google Drive, Shared folders Savo - was best in class a long time ago (and has since been bought by Seismic) - but required a lot of administrative work to setup and maintain. I had three people working on it full time to create pages and managing content. Shared folders and google drive are good to share content, but terrible at searching and tagging (not fully indexed and no tagging)

• Time savings on email recaps and meeting notes; fully automated if you let the team lean into these features!
• It saves me time from having to attend every client call, especially since most of my team is 3 hours ahead of me, so I have limited time to join their calls to begin with.
• Specific feedback about a moment vs. generic feedback.

Incentivized

• We can quickly generate product-specific proposals.
• We've experienced repeated frustrations while trying to edit/update the LiveDoc.
• Errors in LiveDoc coding have occasionally produced errors in the generated proposals where certain fields (Customer Name, for example) should have been automatically completed but were not.
