Gong vs. Sofon Proposal Organizer

It is well suited for sales teams, definitely, but any customer-facing role where an employee will be on the phone a lot with clients. Due to the AI functionality, this is a super helpful tool for coaching, accountability, and streamlining your processes. It is less appropriate for team members who aren't having client calls or those who mostly host internal calls.

In my opinion, the most valuable characteristic of SPO is that by answering simple questions a very complex product can be configured; therefore the scope of delivery is defined very well. In addition, SPO has great flexibility to manage prices and costs. However, SPO is configurator of parts that allows incorporating basic design rules for their selection. SPO is not a optimised for developing complicated engineering design rules.

• Transcribing the meeting. Audio to text.
• Creating meeting summaries that include key follow-up points.
• AI for a user to query the meeting to get key information.
• Breaking down the meeting by the speaker for ease of search and navigating through the meeting.

• Top Down approach
• Drive sales representatives to their goal
• Clear final calculation

• sometimes the call will say the wrong contact is speaking. Adding to 'Jims' talk time when it was actually 'John' speaking
• The transcript can be missing some info or mis-dictating what was actually said
• it can be hard to lookup certain calls, sometimes a call won't be under my name even though I booked and ran the meeting

• SQL servers may lead to unexpect failures
• Tables created in SPO could have better interface with the user
• Management of user licences could be easier

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.

Unfortunately I have no possibility to renew or not renew SPO so it is difficult to answer to this question

Seamless, easy to understand and get around without much research. Between the simplistic options and the fluid layout, I easily got in the tool on day one and found value. I did not need onboarding calls as an end user to easily take advantage of the platform. Which when you have 20+ accounts to manage, time is important.

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

Zoom has great integrations and summary tools. There is less insight at the company level, whereas Gong is built to give insight across the customer journey. Zoom pushes to Hubspot nicely, but Hubspot doesn't have the capabilities to organize this data at the company level in the way that Gong does. You can piece together the call recording features, but you can't replace the level of insight that Gong offers at the company level by leveraging call data

The previous product we used was developed by ourselves so my experience is very limited. I can say that having a software like SPO we can configure the product without any programming experience and this makes things faster and better. Moreover, I can say that MS Office compatibility is a strong point.

• Has provided the ability to refer back to calls and actual hard evidence than guessing what was said on calls based on memory
• Increased alignment across sales, cs, and management providing call summaries and recordings as a single source of truth.
• Has increased cross team collaboration allowing CS and PM teams to work directly together by sharing call recordings and getting right to the specifics of what was said during the meeting as opposed to lengthy response times trying to find the capacity to share details manually with one another; now we just share the specific section of the recording and can continue on with our individual priorities.

• Reduce quotation time at the proposal office,
• better definition and more organise project scope at project management level
• centralisation of knoweldeg: one problem, one solution
