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
Seismic Content
Chose Seismic Content
Highspot was used at a different organization and seems to me to be superior in user interface, tracking metrics, and efficiency. Seismic was purchased for our current organization with no solution previously in place. In my experience, Seismic lacks features for guiding and …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is very similar to high spot but it a bit more user friendly and intuitive. Guru would be great for a small company who just needs to organize assets. But Seismic is the best option if you also utilize their ai capabilities which heavily impacts search in a positive way
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is the go to platform for content creation, sharing, and collaboration between customers and colleagues. It's saves you time having to look for information when it's a tool with everything in one unified place. We don't have to ask anyone else for slides, brochures, …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is much more high level compared to the free tools as far as features. Competitors likely just house files whereas Seismic does this along with a lot more. In my opinion, also has a cleaner layout.
Chose Seismic Content
Both Highspot and Seismic are great tools. They each provide an extensive library that can be easily customized based on the rep/team/deal cycle stage etc. Seismic has a much cleaner look and feel. As a rep, I felt it was much easier to navigate the tool and organize my content …
Chose Seismic Content
Personally I think Seismic is more built for Sales enablement whereas Brainshark is a good education/knowledge development platform.
Chose Seismic Content
I haven't used similar tools.
Chose Seismic Content
The ease of use with Seismic versus Confluence is night and day! Confluence is not a very user-friendly program and what you can find is basically by luck. In Seismic it is accessible to everyone that has the permission to view whatever it is they are trying to view or follow …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is very similar to most content management systems and integrates less easily than the Salesforce CMS (not surprising), but it is more powerful than Salesforce CMS and Highspot. Highspot is less refined and less user-friendly than Seismic but I feel it also has more …
Chose Seismic Content
I am still learning how to maximize the potential using Seismic, so I'm getting more and more savvy with its potential.
Chose Seismic Content
I honestly, personally, haven't looked into other options very much besides Google Drive. I think for this purpose, Seismic does a better job because it holds everything we need without having to share files or give people access. It is just a site where we all have a log-in …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic offers a more personalized user experience, with more analytics, a cleaner interface, and more responsive customer support.
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is designed for salespeople - whereas Adobe Experience Manager (Assets and Sites) were both designed for Marketing teams to use. I think Seismic is more valuable for customer interactions than Adobe Experience Manager because it allows you to measure the amount of time …
Chose Seismic Content
We used to use Callidus Cloud, but honestly nobody was utilizing the platform, nor were we using it to the most potential. Seismic allowed for us to customize and have partner licenses.
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic has a robust amount of features, LiveSend is fantastic, and the analytics for our sales and marketing team to make better informed decisions.
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic and Hubspot were the top two finalists and ultimately we chose Seismic because its integration with Dynamics CRM was already ready to go. Hubspot was working on their integration but we knew from experience how difficult working with Microsoft could be, so we went with …
Chose Seismic Content
We selected Seismic because of cost, capabilities and support.
Chose Seismic Content
Prior to Seismic, we used SAVO. SAVO's user interface wasn't as visually pleasing as Seismic's, but we found it much easier to edit/update our master content within SAVO.
Chose Seismic Content
The user experience was better.
Chose Seismic Content
We're only using LiveDocs in Seismic and it's way better than Highspot's 3rd party solution.
Chose Seismic Content
The only other sales enablement tool that I've used personally was SAVO, which was acquired by Seismic.
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is very similar to Showpad and Highspot and I'm sure they are great products too. What we were really impressed by was their ability to speak to our requirements and helped us build a strong business case for implementing this platform. We felt confident moving forward …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is our first sales enablement tool and we didn't really research others. They hit the ball out of the park with their initial presentation and we didn't look back.

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 excellent for a cloud-based workspace between you and your customers. I find the chat feature to be a cool and underutilized tool. I appreciate how you can consolidate all your information on one page, rather than having multiple attachments. Easy to clone DSRs (Digital Sales Rooms), which saves a significant amount of time. Especially when all you have to do is make minor changes between customers.

Pros
  • Call Tracking - Gong agent automatically attempts to join any call that makes sense.

  • Seismic allows for one location to store all relevant content so that associates are not having to spend as much time searching for what they need.
  • Seismic provides the ability to fully customize content such that one template can serve many needs with the simple ability to answer questions that drive the customization in the content. This customization can range from simple to quite complex depending on your level of expertise with the tool.
  • Seismic provides a lot of flexibility when it comes to organizing your content and how to make the experience of accessing that content unique to the needs of each user in the system.

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.

  • There have been a few times where issues with a server leads to a slow user experience or users are unable to use the platform for a small period of time. Bringing these to a minimum would greatly enhance the user experience.

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
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.

Seismic is super easy to use and has so many different features and functionality to take advantage of. But being a company who utilizes Google platform a lot we have some issues with the api connections and integrations across the board. But all in all it is not a huge issue, I would just like to see them improve the integration more

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

I have never tried chatting/calling with Support for Seismic. However, from others that I have talked to that use Seismic in more of an administrative role, they have been easy to work with and are of great assistance. I think it's a good thing I've never needed to talk to support, as it means I haven't had any issues to this point.

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.

Both Highspot and Seismic are great tools. They each provide an extensive library that can be easily customized based on the rep/team/deal cycle stage etc. Seismic has a much cleaner look and feel. As a rep, I felt it was much easier to navigate the tool and organize my content the way I wanted to. Highspot tended to feel cluttered and even overwhelming at times. Along with that, the AI and saved search feature ran smoother in Seismic. I could easily find the document or sales deck I was looking for, whereas in Highspot I felt I had to look around longer than I would have liked.

  • 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.
