Balto vs. Chorus by ZoomInfo

New agents are given Balto and are able to take calls successfully from day one. They take incoming calls and Balto listens to both sides of the conversation and when things are said it will prompt the agent to move forward in different ways. It also will prompt if agents are speaking too much or if the agent isn't listening and asking the same question it will prompt them.

As someone who is involved in many calls with CIOs or administrators discussing ERP or EMR integrations, compliance workflows, or digital transformation initiatives, these conversations involve complex technical discussions, multiple stakeholders, and long sales cycles where capturing detailed requirements and follow-up commitments is crucial. Having sales intelligence benefits the complexity of the buying process.

• Hears and prompts the agent when key points are mentioned.

• Great job on putting the conversion metrics. It's a big help knowing our metrics in every meeting.
• We learned what areas need to be improved and also the strength we had during that conversation.
• It also provides the length of speech of each participants.

• If we jump over a bullet point it sometimes does not go back to an unlight question when we do.
• If we get a transfer from a fellow agent it doesn't show the correct verbiage to use.
• It takes a little too long to go from OB verbiage to IB verbiage.

Incentivized

• Languages, as I usually take calls in Spanish and/or French and Chorus doesn't always gets the right language
• The transcript isn't always optimal, but that's in rare cases
• I speak with a French accent when I make calls in English, and the system might not like it

It's hard for me to give anything more than a 5 at this point. The primary reason is that we have only used it for a few months and I'm still getting a feel for the level of value it provides both to me and the team. In 4 or 5 months I'll have a better understanding of its value long term

This was sold internally as something that would help us be more efficient. I had high hopes that the speech-to-text feature would be useful for getting call notes/next steps, etc documented. But due to the limitations of the software, these things would take longer using Chorus than if I just write things down manually - disappointing.

I personally have not had too many major issues with Chorus, but the times that I have reached out to their customer support team I have always received great responses in a very timely manner. Their support team is trained in a very polite way and cares about resolving your issue. They are knowledgeable and helpful and the customer service line does not take long to connect to a real individual.

Like I noted in the other category, it has been smooth for the most part. But we really do enjoy the hard work of our CSM and everything he has been able to provide us in terms of support.

We looked at Gong but went with Chorus by ZoomInfo because it felt more practical for our team. Gong has great analytics, but Chorus by ZoomInfo fit better into our existing tech stack and budget. The deal notifications, scorecards, and integrations with Zoom and Salesforce made it the smarter pick. Overall, Chorus by ZoomInfo gives us the insights we need without feeling like overkill or another heavy lift.
