I like the way Brainshark is organized better. I also like the layout better. The only issue with Brainshark is sometimes it is hard to find the items that you still need to complete.
Mindtickle doesn't compare to Brainshark at all. Usability is incredibly low. I liked Gong.io, but our management team decided to go with Brainshark at the time. I was not disappointed. I used Gong.io at a previous place of business and it was easy to use and ramp up, but I …
Brainshark is affordable and it's a simple tool to use. It further gives you the option to record the training sessions and use them later for further training activities. You are able to create your own content and use it to coach and train your staff in a reputable manner …
Most systems we looked at only housed training you already had or bought... or you could buy their training, but they did not offer a way to build your own training AND keep it updated and house it in a logical way. I what we use in Brainshark as two parts (and we don't use it …
The closest that I can think of that I can compare Brainshark too is Dropbox. I know Brainshark does have some other features that I do not utilize, such as a learning section.
Nothing quite compares. It is a good niche product that plays to its strengths.
There is always a balance of powerful tools and ease of use for admins and users. Brainshark strikes a good balance with a lot of features but keeping it very easy for viewers to access content.
I haven't found a tool that has the integrated content development and hosting tools that Brainshark has. We use Captivate for content development and did not have a standard hosting tool. Captivate requires advanced content development tools that limited use to training …
Something Interesting Involving Learning and Technology
Chose Brainshark
That is a HUGE list of products. I have implemented 2 full LMS systems and a number of smaller systems and I have to say Brainshark is by far the best for easy content delivery.

We run into competitors of Brainshark on a regular basis, Slideshare, ClearSide, QVidian, Captivate, Articulate and others but when someone is willing to look at the easy of use but even more importantly that Brainshark is a viable and cost effective end to end content creation …
At our company the only tool we had like this was to manually send PowerPoint presentations to each other, which are static and easily lost in your inbox. Brainshark has given us a great and interactive way to share this information so that our audience can better absorb, …
They are not quite as robust and detailed in terms of capabilities in managing users as Blackbaud, but this is MUCH more user-friendly, and it feels like we, as a client, really matter to them and are a top priority. We have had nothing but good experiences with Brainshark and …
There are a lot of sites that allow you to host/share content in the loud. What won for me was their tracking, analytics, and reporting. At the time there was nobody even close to Brainshark and I have not seen anything since that would make me want to switch. I look forward to …

More tracking available, better user interface, privacy controls, ability to record voice to presentation decks.
We're currently evaluating Articulate Online as an alternate method of distributing our presentations, again simply because Brainshark is lacking some functionality when it comes to creating quizzes. If Brainshark could bridge the gap between what it does extremely well …
While the UI of Prezi was "slick," people got a little seasick after watching it for too long. It seemed too much like a one-trick pony without enough flexibility.
Gong's task manager is slightly quicker than Salesloft, with fewer steps to go from one action to the next. Having all the calls and emails under one page is nice, and the ability to organize how you want to action streamlines the process. Having Gong.io readily available is …
The only similar software I've used is Chorus by Zoominfo. I don't find Zoominfo to be particularly helpful other than for up to date contact info, so having these functions tied to gether is not so important to me, and the actual functionality of Chorus is nowhere near as …
Just way more depth of detail. It seems more purpose suited for our particular use case (sales and pre-sales), while the others were more suited for general note taking
Gong is more like a personal assistant and provides helpful insights that zoom doesn't. zoom is more for the call recording and and presentation on the call.
Gong is way more robust than other tools I've used at other companies, and the UI is infinitely easier. I didn't have a hand in bringing Gong to my current company so unsure if there was a previous tool it replaced.
I love how Gong combines call recordings and outreach as a tool as it is easier to see previous activity before contacting the prospect or client. The general user experience is much better than Allego and Jiminny. I would say as a pure prospecting tool, I liked the usage and …
I've used Chorus at a past company. It seems to do the transcriptions similarly accurately to Gong. Good enough call recording. The call feedback can be done too although maybe not as easily. I do not believe Chorus can create call playlists. I do feel there are a lot less …
Gong stacks all that platforms because use the best of AI to give you a lot of amazing insights of your past calls and helps you to write FUP e-mails and other stuff that consumes a lot of time from a salesperson. Gong will help you to find your best version as a salesperson …
I was not involved in the selection of Gong, and honestly before I got it, I couldnt have envisioned how helpful it wouldve been for my needs as a customer success manager. It saves me time and gives me confidence in calls I am capturing all informaiton
Brainshark is very user-friendly and it’s very easy to create learning content, even a beginner could walk through it fairly easily. They also have a great support team and help site that can pretty much answer any question with video tutorials.
Gong is an excellent tool for tracking customer interactions with your team whether it be through e-mail or phone calls. It also provides an excellent format for scoring the calls your individual contributors are making. Researching interactions through artificial intelligence provides a ton of hours of time saved for our team. It is not a replacement for your CRM or source of truth
It is not always the SME that wants to narrate so an easier way to invite guest narrators would make the creation process less painful.
More detailed description of report types. Depending on what output I am in search of, I find myself having select each option until I find what I need.
An option to insert a slide instead of just adding and having to move it up by repeatedly pressing the up arrow.
If you forgot to add Gong to your meeting, the Gong bot will take a while (a minute or so) to be added. This might lead to you losing some time for the meeting recording.
A quicker way to get the 'Share with customer' URL. I often have to go through a few clicks before getting it.
Our customers (internal employees) have expressed desired for online learning and we have received positive feedback on the Brainshark modules used in eLearning and communications. We are also increasing usage at the project level as the word spreads about the benefits of using Brainshark.
Gong is one of the best if not the best tools we have in or tech stack in terms of ROI and ease of use. The ai features that have been released over the past year have continued to add value and are not just shiny new features that don't get used. It is also an easy to use platform for our sales and customer success reps, takes very little time to become proficient in. The deal boards also provide great visibility into opps for management and leadership
BrainShark is great for those with beginner and intermediate level software skills. It doesn't take a programming genius to get up and running with this application.
I gave it a 9 here because Gong is well-suited for being a one-stop-shop for call listening as a while. The reason I didn't rate it a 10 is the UI can sometimes be a bit tough to navigate and figure out where to do certain actions.
I'm always able to access Brainshark, whether it is to upload, record, share, download, or view presentations. Whenever I do need to contact someone at Brainshark, there is always someone there. I have never had a problem accessing a presentation and any updates to presentations are viewable immediately.
We've found a few glitches and needed some branding updated. Each time we've called, they were super responsive and cared about my issue as much as I did! They've even helped me (and another vendor) figure out how to have this other outside software integrate with theirs to achieve an even greater presentation. I'm super impressed with their Customer Service people.
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
The training is easy to use. You can take as little or as much as you need. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. There is a variety of training you can take. There are mini lessons, courses, and webinars. The folks at Brainshark truly want to help you have the best presentation possible.
Most systems we looked at only housed training you already had or bought... or you could buy their training, but they did not offer a way to build your own training AND keep it updated and house it in a logical way. I what we use in Brainshark as two parts (and we don't use it all - such as the Coaching module) one for creation and second for delivery... and delivery offers two parts. One off's... links that we can add to newsletters, websites etc, and then their Rapid Learning Portal for more formalized learning. Brainshark gives me what I need to create AND deliver trainings, webinars and even holiday wishes. Plus they are big enough to offer service and tech help to the field... I don't have to do it all myself... as well as a Customer Success Manager for quarterly updates, help and training, monthly reporting on usage, training webinars and an whole knowledge base and author and administrator training online. If you only have a person or hand full of people creating your training... it is easy to use and get lots of content out to the world!
Gong has by far the most comprehensive information about each call, and integrates the best with our CRM: Salesforce. Not only that, but the call recording itself is the least intrusive, and it is automatically added to every external call that our team creates.
Since we implement how Brainshark is used we have found several areas where it has a significant impact...the first is the ability for any three step distributor to build a supplier / manufacturer content library that can be utilized by their B2B sales group
Brainshark's survey and question tools are an excellent way to solicit feedback from both internal and external audiences...
Brainshark is a cost effective way for retailers and wholesalers to manage store and field level operations...
I've improved my ability to find solutions for my clients. I'm now more effective in meetings because I can pay closer attention while the entire conversation is automatically recorded and transformed into text.
I can process a large number of emails without feeling overwhelmed by the vast amount of information I receive daily. With the summaries created with Gong, I can now make faster and more effective decisions without hesitation.
It doesn't take much effort to learn how to use this platform; this saves me a lot of time when training new members of my team to use this indispensable tool in the workplace.
