Perfect Summaries with Seamless Setup
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate Gong's call recordings for their perfectly summarized calls, providing both a short summary and action items for everyone involved. I find these summaries to be very concise and accurate, which makes them stand out. I also find the setup to be very easy, which is a significant plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
They should give the option to give a longer summary if wanted with more details.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gong perfectly summarizes calls and provides short, accurate summaries along with action items for everyone involved.
Insightful Call Analytics, Needs Better Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I like the call analytics feature in Gong, as it helps me understand how the call went and what can be improved. Features like the longest monologue and the talk to listen ratio are particularly useful. The AI features are good too, although not great. I also find the analytics to be generally good, and the initial setup was pretty easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integrations with calendar, it does not automatically get added to the meeting but needs to be added as an addon on Google Calendar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Gong for call recordings and analyzing call videos, which helps with understanding and improving calls. The AI features assist in writing emails and summaries.
Easy Zoom Integration and Reliable Call Recording
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it integrates with zoom and is able to pretty easily record zoom calls. It usually just works too.
What do you dislike about the product?
The permission settings were pretty difficult to navigate. One of the permissions also required a license for one of my admin users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We mainly utilize gong to record consented customer calls so our revenue and product teams can review key customer feedback/details and more.
Call Recordings, Transcripts & Insights That Elevate Sales Conversations
What do you like best about the product?
It helps us a lot during sales conversations. The call recordings, transcripts, and insights are especially useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first, I felt overwhelmed because of the sheer number of features and the amount of data available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allowed us to track conversations and train our SDRs more effectively, which helped improve our sales process.
Excellent, Polished Product with Powerful Audio Transcription Search
What do you like best about the product?
The audio transcriptions and the ability to search based on that.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Its an excellent well polished product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Call recordings with transcripts and key highlights of the call. Integrations with CRMs help map the right call link at a contact level makes it easy for future reference.
Easy Call Insights That Power Support Coaching
What do you like best about the product?
It’s easy to locate key information in calls, which really helps with support coaching and development.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn’t an easy way to see month-over-month improvements in the metrics tracked through the dashboards. The coaching dashboard shows compliance, but it doesn’t clearly reflect behavioral improvement, even though those behaviors are being monitored.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gong makes pre-call research and post-call listening much easier for quality assurance and coaching, thanks to its clear summaries and helpful AI support. This saves us time.
Keeps Customer Research Organized and Easy to Share
What do you like best about the product?
I actually do not use it for sales. I use it for customer research and it helps me keep everything organized and to share things easily with the development team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price. I think that because it is for sales people it has a price I am not willing to pay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The key problem is being able to share with engineers and them getting the information quickly.
Efficient Call Management with AI-Driven Insights
What do you like best about the product?
I find Gong incredibly useful for call recordings, summarization, and preparation. The summarization and creation of follow-up emails saves me at least 30 minutes per call, which is essential for me as a CSM. I really like the follow-up emails and the ability to prepare for meetings using AI. I appreciate having everything centralized into one tool, allowing me to see what my Sales team is doing on my account without having to listen to the full recording. It's great to be able to quickly search through my calls when I'm unsure about a topic and find the precise moment in the call where things were mentioned.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the Forecasting could be better, we tried it for a little while for renewals and it still needs improvement. We have the integration with Gainsight but that could be improved in order to record directly the call summaries in a timeline activity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gong saves me 30 minutes per call through summarization and follow-up emails, centralizes recordings, and helps in call preparation with AI.
We regularly use Gong recordings during internal design discussions to cross-check customer inputs
What do you like best about the product?
In my role as a Engineer working closely with truck sales and customer discussions, Gong has been very useful in bringing transparency to conversations.
We use Gong to record and review customer calls related to vehicle requirements, technical clarifications, and project discussions. It helps us revisit important points like load requirements, design constraints, and customer expectations without missing details.
One feature I find very helpful is the ability to search conversations and quickly jump to specific topics. This saves time when we need to validate requirements during design stages. It also helps align sales and engineering teams, especially when multiple stakeholders are involved.
Similarly, at L&T Technology Services while working on the Acuity Brands project, we used Gong to bring the same kind of clarity to engineering and project sales conversations. Engineers would discuss pending drawings, project timelines, and workload commitments across multiple calls, and it was very easy for things to get lost without a proper tracking system. Gong helped us monitor how many drawings were pending per engineer, what had been committed on calls, and where delays were forming essentially improving work efficiency and accountability across the team in a very natural and non-intrusive way.

What do you dislike about the product?
One challenge I’ve noticed is that transcription accuracy is not always perfect, especially during technical discussions involving engineering terminology, part names, or abbreviations. So we still need to manually verify certain points.
Also, initially, it took some time for our team to understand how to effectively use filters, dashboards, and insights provided by Gong. A slightly simpler onboarding experience would help new users.
One of the biggest pain points was around handling highly technical conversations. In the Volvo Trucks environment, when a truck breaks down on the production floor, the spare parts order call happens very quickly and is filled with technical language specific part names, catalog codes, brake assembly specifications, bracket dimensions, and so on. While Gong does a great job recording and transcribing these calls, the transcripts were not always clean or accurate when it came to technical terminology. Sales reps still had to manually go back and verify part details, which added an extra step rather than saving time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our workflow, one of the biggest challenges earlier was misalignment between sales discussions and engineering execution. Customer requirements discussed during calls were sometimes captured only through notes or internal communication, which could lead to missing details or incorrect assumptions during the design phase.
Gong helps solve this by providing complete visibility into actual customer conversations. We can revisit recorded calls anytime to verify requirements such as load conditions, vehicle usage, mounting constraints, and special customer expectations. This reduces dependency on second-hand information and avoids misunderstandings.
Another problem it addresses is lack of traceability. Earlier, if there was confusion during later stages of the project, it was difficult to go back and check what was originally discussed. With Gong, we now have a reliable reference for all key discussions, which helps in better decision-making.
From a practical standpoint, this has benefited me by:
• Reducing design rework caused by unclear or missed requirements
• Improving confidence while finalizing engineering inputs
• Helping in cross-functional alignment between sales, design, and other teams
• Saving time when validating requirements, as I can directly refer to specific parts of conversations
Overall, Gong has made the transition from customer discussion to engineering execution much smoother and more accurate in our truck project workflows.

Turns Messy Sales Calls Into Searchable Insights for Better Forecasting and Coaching
What do you like best about the product?
Gong provides three main "upsides" by turning messy conversations into searchable data:
Visibility & Accuracy: You see what’s actually happening in deals instead of relying on subjective rep notes. This leads to 95% more accurate sales forecasting.
Faster Coaching: Managers can skip to "swearing" or "competitor mentions" in a 60-minute call in seconds, allowing them to coach 3x more reps in the same amount of time.
Replicating Top Talent: It identifies the specific talk patterns (like talk-to-listen ratios) used by your best sellers so you can clone their strategy across the whole team.

What do you dislike about the product?
The bad:
High price tag: It’s a premium-priced tool, and the platform fees can be significant, which is hard to justify for smaller teams.
Rep pushback: If it isn’t introduced carefully, it can come across as “Big Brother” surveillance and end up hurting trust across the team.
Feature overload: The interface feels dense, and it often requires a dedicated admin to keep the AI “trackers” accurate, maintained, and genuinely useful.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
"Gong has been a game-changer for our visibility. Before, our CRM was a 'black box' of vague notes; now, I can see exactly why deals stall or what our top reps are saying differently. It’s cut our onboarding time in half because new hires can just listen to 'gold standard' calls.
The downside is the price—it’s a major investment—and it can feel a bit 'Big Brother' if you don’t lead with a coaching mindset. But for closing the gap between your best and worst performers, the data is unbeatable."
