Gong vs. Xactly Commission Expense Accounting

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

Well suited if the company has an ICM solution that can produce accurate data on a timely basis. Not well suited for companies where commission calculations are not automated. Not well suited for companies with frequent plan changes.

• Call Tracking - Gong agent automatically attempts to join any call that makes sense.
• Transcript analysis - Gong does a good job running through the transcript to identify and summarize a call.
• AI analysis - with the right prompting, Gong brings a solid analysis with specific calls and interactions cited.

• Amortization & capitalization.
• Follow set rules defining when/how certain payments are expensed.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Not possible to make back-end changes to amortization schedules independently (for example, if departments need to be changed).
• Impossible to change rules without customer support, for example, if a new plan is added.
• Have to run separate amortization schedules for each subsidiary rather than at a consolidated level.

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 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 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

No glitches or issues.

Go into implementation knowing how you will handle churn, if there are claw backs, treatment for every type of commission payment (i.e. new business, renewals, etc.) and know your average customer life. You'll also want details by customer for as far back as you can go (within reason).

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.

CEA was easy to use, easy to implement, and at the right price.
