Matheus Paschoalin - PeerSpot reviewer
Account Executive (Medium Business) at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Call reviews have boosted follow-ups and coaching but still need richer local insights and training
One of the things that I mentioned is the information that Gong has here in Brazil. I think there are other generative AIs that have good information, providing good information about the companies. Gong in this field is a bit not ahead. It has to improve more. One point that I would like to see in Gong in the future would be to have more information about Brazilian companies that could help our life in sales. Gong should be more updated and be more full of information about our specific market. The points that I already mentioned, which are the updates and the information updates that are not really updated, are why it wouldn't be a 10. Another point of not being a 10 is the training that we have from Gong. I've never seen a person from Gong talking with us, giving us training or providing videos or training specific for sales in Gong. It depends on us to navigate in Gong, but we don't have much information and training that I think would be nice for us to have.
Harman Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Devops Manager at Microsoft Ai
Automation has reduced routine inquiries while agents have gained time for complex issues
The best features PolyAI offers include its professional service as a software approach, which is a significant differentiator during initial onboarding, with the structured questionnaire process capturing our architecture, security constraints, brand voice, and API handshakes down the wire. They work instead of handling a raw, self-serve bot builder, allowing our platform engineers to avoid constant babysitting while PolyAI's dialogue engineers handle model fine-tuning, edge case routing, and continuous optimization. I also appreciate the low-latency, human-parity voice system, which helps the voice agent handle non-linear speech, sudden conversational pivots, background noise, and mid-sentence interruptions naturally, making audio latency practically imperceptible and eliminating the awkward pauses typical to traditional conversational IVRs. This is a game-changer. Finally, I appreciate how moving between chats and voice maintains context seamlessly, as conversations trigger or fallback or human handoff. State payloads transfer cleanly with zero loss of session context. The low-latency and human-parity voice system make a significant difference for our team, ensuring that interactions between AI and humans do not sound robotic. This capability makes the AI's responses clear, without context lagging or hallucination. Our end user experience has positively increased by 23.5%. Earlier, latency posed a challenge, but low latency ensures that we can achieve our end goals efficiently. The governance and security of PolyAI is really strong. It has not missed anything in terms of governance and AI, which I feel has been handled really well. The accuracy and reliability of PolyAI's AI output is exceptional, more than 200%, since it does not hallucinate, provides long answers without losing context, and utilizes low latency and advanced AI models. They have done a good job in this aspect.

"Having call recordings and summaries helps our team have complete visibility into calls."
"Gong records all our calls, giving us feedback and creating a central platform for communication within our company."

Cons

"Gong does not integrate well within Microsoft Teams calendars; sometimes the extension gets missed out and it does not get added to the meetings easily, so that is the major drawback that I have seen across."
"I would improve the interface for searching themes or words in the history of calls and emails."
"I wish the AI summaries were more accurate, and it would be nice if there were a way to include what a customer says about a specific topic in the AI summary."
"These features might actually exist, but I never really use them since when I did, they weren't great."
"Gong could be improved with a little bit better AI on the follow-ups, as I still find myself using Gong AI-generated follow-up emails with my own parameters in ChatGPT."
"I find that Gong's AI features are still not there yet, especially when it comes to call follow-up or mutual action plans."
"I think there are other generative AIs that have good information, providing good information about the companies. Gong in this field is a bit not ahead; it has to improve more."
"Gong can be improved with the follow-up email feature."
"One area where PolyAI can be improved is in deeper integrations with existing systems and more configuration on how to handle complex scenarios."
