Considered Both Products
Clari
Chose Clari
I have not used other forecasting tools other than the built-in functions in Salesforce, Gong, and Outreach. I think that the benefit of Clari against these other tools that almost any Sales organization has is that their whole focus is on forecasting and visibility into your …
Chose Clari
Clari is the most user-friendly platform in my opinion, and I've had the best customer service experience with my support team. Clari has continued to prove its ROI after each sub-platform we've implemented, and has built trust and adoption from the AEs to C-Level mgmt.
Chose Clari
The integration with Salesforce gave it an added advantage since we have SF as the CRM, it very well integrates with Clari and all the manual tasks gets eliminated .

Great User Interface
Gong
Chose Gong
We used Clari for forecasting previously and Gong has very similar functionalities. I have never used another call recording software.
Chose Gong
I've only used Gong. Nothing else really compares.

We use Clari alongside Gong. Clari is better for Forecasting, but we used Gong for the conversation analytics.
Chose Gong
pretty high, SFDC too slow, Outreach way better than Salesloft, Clari is for managers as a rep i keep track of that in my own notes. Gong is a platform build for sellers and managers to help progress deals where as the others feel like tools meant to help predict a business not …
Chose Gong
I've used Clari at a previous organization, and Gong.io has a better UI and seems to capture more call performance metrics that help reps improve.
Chose Gong
I personally thought Gong was much easier to use than Clari, although they’re not necessarily exactly the same. Clari has more forecast data which I appreciate, but Gong’s feedback on sales calls seems more valuable to me, and was simpler to access. I thought it provided a …
Chose Gong
Getting active consent from the customers when being recorded
Chose Gong
Gong is a lot more in depth and has a much more data rich approach to the sales cycle than Groove. While groove is good at keeping your communication in line and on time, Gong really dominates when it comes to searching recorded calls and finding the key topics/exchanges you …
Chose Gong
CoPilot is good software, and the prices were relatively equal between the two. Gong's representative was more hands on in making us feel comfortable switching software and changing our infrastructure to accommodate. It was this care and handholding that put us over the edge. …
Chose Gong
Gong is much better than the tools I have used before simply because of a better UI, easy-to-use system and it has the whole package any sales professional might need. You can't build an outreach into Gong, which I think could be a great idea for the Gong team but the things …
Chose Gong
Gong's thought leadership, performance, intuitiveness, advanced conversation intelligence, and all-encompassing solution has helped me greatly and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
Chose Gong
I think gong's main advantage is the multiple use cases and how it helps so many different user groups.

If Gong had a strong sequencing tool then I could see me using that over Outreach but for now I need to use a separate tool for prospecting efforts.
Chose Gong
The UI is better for Gong.io. The ability to search recordings is better for Gong and the overall accuracy of Gong.io is better.
Chose Gong
Gong.io doesn't do as many things as its competitors, but what it does, it does really well. Gong.io is better at what it does than any other competitor. A tool like Salesloft can replace both Gong.io and Outreach, but its call recording is nowhere near as strong as Gong.io …
Chose Gong
Gong works better with Slack. Also, Gong works the best with SFDC. In general, provides better integration with the enterprise tech stack.

User Testimonials
ClariGong
Likelihood to Recommend
It's well-suited for sales and customer service processes where the intent is both to sell the product and give customer or technical service post-sale. It is best to search for calls with different phrases. However, as far as I am concerned, it is less suitable for processes that are not defined. Like sales inbound, where we may not know the conversation direction.

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

Cons
  • When there is maintenance done in the backend our total numbers disappear so would be great to not impact production environment when doing improvements on the backend
  • I think Clari can train more the champions at customer to drive utilisation rates in your customers

  • 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.

Likelihood to Renew
I will renew my Clari Subscription for many reasons. 1. Streamlines Sales - Clari automates many manual tasks like note-taking and transcripts. This frees my sales team so they can focus on closing deals. 2. Increased customer retention - Clari helps me identify potential churn risks and take proactive measures. 3. AI-Driven Insights

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

Usability
Clari is very good when it comes to usability as I'm accessing it on daily basis as long as I'm on my Notebook, it helps a lot having visibility on my business status and progress on achievement. I can estimate my weekly, monthly, and yearly opportunities closure and revenue. I have some saved views which are so useful to get what I want to see.
Read full review
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.

Support Rating
Clari is very willing to jump in and build out use cases. They will work to do anything for you. That said, their follow up is not great. We have had to reach out for follow up several times on a project, which is still not complete. I wish they taught us how to complete what we want, rather than doing it in house for us

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

Gainsight was clunky. We had a dashboard for CS renewals but it was difficult to update. If you typed something and didn't save, and you started updating another opportunity's notes, your previous notes would not save. With Clari it auto saves

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.
