Overall Satisfaction with Gong.io

We use Gong across our entire organization to record customer and prospect calls. It helps us record, transcribe, and learn from key conversations. As a completely remote company that does everything over Zoom, it helps us build alignment.
  • Recording sales calls so we can coach sales team members after.
  • Transcribing calls so product team can search for keywords ("Who asked for that feature again?").
  • Highlighting who was speaking when so we can ensure we're asking open-ended discovery questions.
  • Minor, but sharing snippets of calls with team members can be a little clunky.
  • Minor, but finding calls in a library of thousands of calls is sometimes clunky - can't always find what i'm looking for.
  • Faster time to product-market fit.
  • Accelerated sales process, closing deals faster.
  • Faster employee onboarding ("Go watch a few Gongs to onboard").
Have not had to rely on customer support.

Our sales team relies heavily on Gong. As a Product Manager for a B2B SaaS product, I also rely heavily on Gong to record customer discovery calls, listen to calls that I missed to better understand our customer, and to share snippets with team members to help everyone better understand our customer and the problems we're solving for them.

It's not perfectly suited for high-fidelity recording, sometimes I've used it to document bugs or create instructional recordings, but the videos are compressed so it can be hard to see the screen. Better to use QuickTime for that.
