Experiences with Migrating from Salesloft to Gong Core/Engage

This might be redundant but I didn't see search results that aligned to my root question... Has anyone made the switch from Salesloft to Gong Core/Engage and regretted it? We are also considering Outreach and then a modular approach adding Hubspot Sales Hub for email engagement and then an AI companion to Zoom for call coaching/intelligence like The team seems distracted with hopes we will implement agents but we aren't there yet so I was hoping to get real experiences from the last 6 months on sales engagement platform migrations.

Thanks guys. I will ping you Michael Z.. Jared R. - our outbound team (BDR/AE) is about 15 people but we also have AMs/SCs in SL right now. We have a new CRO who is keen on exploring the idea of AI Agents for outbound on tier 3 accounts but I wasn't planning on including that as a factor in this evaluation because I've yet to here of anyone using the agents sales engagements tools have developed thus far.

Hey Megan — great question. One of our clients recently made the switch from Salesloft to Gong Engage, and so far, no regrets — in fact, they’ve seen some big advantages, especially when it comes to sales methodology alignment and forecasting accuracy. Gong Engage is purpose-built around Meddpicc, which was a game-changer for their team. It allows reps and managers to embed Meddpicc fields directly into call workflows and deal reviews, so qualification isn’t just a checkbox — it’s part of every conversation. The system automatically tracks key deal signals (like decision criteria, timeline, and economic buyer) across calls and emails, which made coaching a lot more precise. Also, the call recording and deal timeline features helped their sales leaders identify blind spots and get ahead of deal slippage. Because it’s tied into Gong Core, all the activity and engagement data is rolled up into pipeline forecasting dashboards that are actually accurate — less gut feel, more signal. That said, the transition does take some change management, especially if your team is used to a traditional sales engagement platform. But if you’re leaning into a talentsync-ai.com methodology-driven, insights-first sales motion, Engage makes a compelling case. Happy to connect and share more if it’s helpful!

Hi everyone, hopping on the Gong engage bandwagon, got a couple of Engage questions:
Has anyone ever used a virtual number via gong connect. Does it work?
If yes, can anyone point me to virtual mobile number providers in Netherlands and Spain?

We are huge into LinkedIn and are even beta testing a new feature in Navigator called Sales Assistant. We did decide to pull the trigger and move off UpdateAI and Salesloft to Gong Core and Gong Engage. Our implementation kicks off next week and will report back after we are live on the dialer quality of engage in US/UK/CA, Sidhant G.

Thanks Megan, We are going Live post testing tomorrow. Some regions we operate in remotely do not have Mobile numbers provisioned in Gong and looking for an alternative way for reps to be able to make calls from local numbers
