Considered Both Products
Gong
Chose Gong
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 …
Chose Gong
They work hand in hand. However Gong is far superior in AI and recording. Outreach is better for organizing tasks and launching sequences.
Chose Gong
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 …
Chose Gong
We've evaluated SFDC Einstein and Outreach and neither compare to Gong.
Chose Gong
I would personally rate jiminny slightly hire because of the support they offer and customisation
Chose Gong
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
Chose Gong
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.
Chose Gong
Gong is a lot better, more indepth, etc.
Chose Gong
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.
Chose Gong
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 …
Chose Gong
We used Clari for forecasting previously and Gong has very similar functionalities. I have never used another call recording software.
Chose Gong
Getting active consent from the customers when being recorded
Chose Gong
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 …
Chose Gong
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 …
Chose Gong
I haven't used any other tools that are comparable to Gong before.
Chose Gong
Ease of use UX Insights quality and detail
Chose Gong
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
Highspot
Chose Highspot
I think Drive is a lot more intuitive, but it’s hard to know what is allowed to be public or private in Drive. Additionally, Drive doesn’t have the best way to send content, whereas Highspot offers a better solution for that.
Chose Highspot
Sharepoint has been difficult to search (not a very powerful user interface or search filtering functionality). Brainshark didn't provide everything we wanted.
Chose Highspot
Showpad is very similar to Highspot, but we found Highspot more user-friendly and [has] a better interface, so I have not actually used Showpad.

As for SharePoint, we still use this for other reasons at our company, but we used to share files with our sales team, and it is …
Chose Highspot
We use Highspot in conjunction with our other programs and it works great. We are able to use the features and functions from each to help us with our daily outreach and have an idea of what is working and what isn't.
Chose Highspot
Highspot has a more elegant way of displaying the assets, whereas Google just organizes everything by folders.
Chose Highspot
We did not review other vendors. We used Google Drive to store and maintain marketing materials before Highspot, and that was not efficient.
Chose Highspot
From an investment perspective, Highspot was very reasonable in price for both the main platform and the LMS. The ease of use and management seemed to be a lot less than some of the others we looked at. If we had a more robust solution, I could see where there could be value …
Chose Highspot
We previously used Google Drive for all of these resources, so Highspot was a considerable upgrade.
Chose Highspot
We don't need extensive screen share capabilities, and Highspot is a great value for the cost. Ease of sharing department-wide materials was a huge plus for us, as well as the ease of use with adding new content.
Chose Highspot
They're pretty similar from a content management perspective, but Showpad has a lot more to offer outside of that. Highspot's searching algorithm seems better.
Chose Highspot
I have never used a tool/platform similar to Highspot.
Chose Highspot
We used Showpad for the last few years, however, since switching to Highspot our team has actually seen more success and collaboration. Our sales enablement directors are able to leverage better marketing materials for our sales and BDR agents leading to higher conversions from …
Chose Highspot
Highspot is great for metrics and for tracking interactions. It is very user-friendly and really easy to start engaging. The possibility of tracking both employees and prospects/clients is one of the best features. It is easy to implement and everyone can see how they are …
Chose Highspot
Highspot is so much more versatile than Google Drive. Its feels more secure and easier to organize content. It is also much more Sales Focuses and allows for collaboration and features to share content clients with tracking.
Chose Highspot
Although I was not privy to the selection process, our product marketing manager was extremely heavy in selecting the right tool for our Sales team and collaborated with us to figure out exactly which features we needed, and what we didn't. Highspot checked all the boxes and …
Chose Highspot
We felt like Highspot had a better user interface and was easier to navigate. We like DocSend and it works much like Highspot. At the time it was a more expensive solution that had essentially the same features.
Chose Highspot
Dropbox was sufficient for storing content in an easy to access space but, provided us no value beyond that. SharePoint actually made us less productive due to the amount of time our sales team had to spend searching for the right piece of content. Neither solution provided …

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

Great for delivering insight on which personas are engaging with the material shared. If I've had multiple meetings with personas, but they have not engaged with my proposal, I'm now able to understand the priority of our partnership and how it ranks within their other initiatives.

Cons
  • 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.

  • The search function can cause some issues if the platform is not set up correctly.
  • It can be hard to build pitches - I wish it was a little easier to maneuver
  • It seems like the tracking does not always work for pitch views.

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

I love Highspot, it saves me a ton of time every single day. I like how my correspondence looks professional and I know what I'm sending is accurate and company approved. I'm able to add it to an email template in seconds and choose multiple brochures if it fits the information the student wants or requested. I can also customize templates to make them company specific when appropriate

Usability
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 use Highspot every day. It is basically my go-to spot to find anything I need to know about the product, like pricing and internal processes. It also helps me provide value-added emails to my prospects with extreme ease. Without Highspot I would not have the current success that I have right now in sales.

Support Rating
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
Read full review
I have not needed any customer support until now, I guess this is because they work on a proactive maintenance of the platform. We have an internal team working with Highspot so if I need help I go to my internal team not directly to Highspot. I have never heard any complaints.

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.

From an investment perspective, Highspot was very reasonable in price for both the main platform and the LMS. The ease of use and management seemed to be a lot less than some of the others we looked at. If we had a more robust solution, I could see where there could be value in what the others offered, but for what we needed Highspot checked all the boxes.
