Why people look for alternatives to Gong

Gong Engage's sequencer lacks basics such as A/B testing of emails, with requested features long described as "in the pipeline"
Engage is buggy and slow: one year-long user reports a new bug most weeks, freezing email windows, an email-deleting bug and random multi-hour slowdowns
Several teams that consolidated onto Engage say they regret it or are moving back to Salesloft or Outreach for sequencing

Top alternatives in detail

Granola

Independent discussion is thin and comes mostly from product managers in r/ProductManagement: only 10 non-promotional comments carry a real opinion, and few come from sales teams. Most of those users like it, citing that no bot joins the call, that it produces structured summaries from templates or custom prompts, and that past meetings can be queried later, and several pay for it themselves. The main trade-off is that the output still needs a human check: users say they double-check action items and clean up notes before sharing, and two found it unremarkable.
