Aviso's Unified Sales Engagement: The #1 Gong Alternative That Drives SDR Productivity with Agentic AI

While legacy sales engagement platforms like Gong offer basic AI email creation capabilities, they often lack the Agentic AI architecture to support end-to-end autonomous SDR execution- transferring the manual burden to reps and hurting productivity.

Aviso’s Unified Sales Engagement Platform offers a true alternative to Gong Engage, built on Agentic AI. It doesn’t just assist your SDRs- it executes the heavy lifting autonomously across the entire outreach cycle. With Aviso, Agentic AI handles all time-consuming administrative tasks, orchestrating workflows end-to-end so reps can focus on what they do best: opening conversations, booking meetings, and generating high-value opportunities.

TL;DR

  • Gong Engage’s AI Agents are not built to support inbound sales, while Aviso uses an autonomous AI SDR Avatar to manage the complete buyer journey from website visitor to opportunity.

  • Gong lacks specialised AI agents for sales outreach, forcing reps back into manual work. Whereas Aviso delivers 15+ AI Agents for each step in the outreach cycle

  • Gong’s Flows are built to convert conversations to sales engagement. Aviso’s AI Personalizer takes inputs from Unified Playbooks defined for a specific territory, combines research with your value proposition, conversation insights and activity data, and delivers relevant and timely messaging across multiple channels.

  • Consolidating your tech stack with Aviso’s unified platform can reduce tech stack costs by 50% and save reps up to 20 hours weekly.

    Why Aviso’s Unified Sales Engagement is The Best Alternative to Gong

    1) Driving SDR Productivity

    Productivity is often the biggest barrier stopping SDRs from hitting quota. When every step of your workflow is manual and time-consuming, SDRs cannot focus on building relationships with prospects, opening conversations and generating pipeline.

    With Gong: Gong’s Agents automate email creation, but its Agentic AI capabilities for SDRs end there. The result? Time wasted on non-selling, low-impact activities.

    With Aviso: Aviso provides 15+ specialised AI Agents that automate every SDR task across the outreach cycle, saving up to 20 rep hours weekly.

    • Prospecting: Agents extract verified contact data and score leads.

    • Research: Agents uncover decision-makers and research personality styles.

    • Outreach: Agents create multi-channel sequences and execute nurtures.

    • Conversion: Agents route leads to reps and optimise follow-ups based on historical data.

    2) Managing Inbound 24x7

    Speed-to-lead is critical for inbound leads. However, sales teams using legacy sales engagement tools like Gong run into a few challenges when managing inbound.

    1. Visibility limited to the 2% of leads who fill a form: you stay blind to the other 98%

    2. Low speed-to-lead. Reps engage leads 24-48 hours later, by which time intent is lost

    3. Capacity limitations. Reps often get overwhelmed with too many accounts, leaving them unable to engage each lead meaningfully

    4. No round-the-clock coverage. Leads can sign up at 2 AM, when reps have logged out, leading to poor buyer experiences.

    With Gong: Gong Engage is a reactive tool that relies on prospects already being in your CRM. It does not support inbound workflows.

    With Aviso: Aviso’s Website Intelligence de-anonymizes accounts on your website and extracts ICP lead profiles. Our AI SDR Avatar then proactively engages these visitors 24x7, answers technical questions via video, voice, and text, overcomes objections, and books meetings without human intervention- driving high speed-to-lead.


    3) Executing Personalized, Multi-Channel Outreach

    The era of ‘scaling outreach’ with generic templates and personalization that is limited to ‘FName’ is well and truly over. Sales teams need to conduct deep research into account needs, pain points, news, and tailor communication to each prospect’s unique personality in order to maximize replies and meetings booked.

    With Gong: Gong offers standard ‘Flows’ which enable consistent, multi-channel outreach but limit personalization.

    With Aviso: Aviso’s AI Personalizer combines deep prospect LinkedIn profile research, company research, and your core value propositions to generate hyper-personalized messaging for email, calling, LinkedIn, and SMS.


    4) Ensuring Contextual Engagement

    Your sales outreach is most effective when you factor in need, timing, and relevance into each message. When messaging is based on one or two data sources, your emails and calls can lack urgency and feel irrelevant, leading to prospects ghosting you.

    With Gong: Gong is a point tool restricted primarily to converting conversations into sales engagement. This means your outreach is conversation-based, but leaves context from other data sources untapped.

    With Aviso: Aviso delivers context-aware outreach. It combines web visits, email/meeting activity, research, CRM data, as well as conversation signals to tailor messaging - ensuring relevant and timely outreach.


    5) Setting Up Your Outreach Strategy

    No two prospects are alike. No two buying groups are alike.

    Each segment in your target market exhibits unique characteristics, pain points, use cases and buying behaviour. As a sales leader, you’re aware of these attributes but unless you can transmit this knowledge into your playbooks, your reps are going to execute the same strategy for every prospect group.

    With Gong: Gong does not offer any way to create tailored playbooks for different prospect groups, leading to the same activities and messaging being delivered for each prospect.

    With Aviso: Aviso uses Unified Playbooks to set up tailored strategies for every vertical, sub-vertical, and persona. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, Aviso ensures your value proposition is perfectly tuned for each prospect segment.


    6) Full Revenue Cycle Coverage

    Revenue teams are now accountable for outcomes across the entire customer journey, from pipeline generation to closing deals to forecasting to sales coaching to customer retention and expansion. This requires a ‘platform approach’ that can operate on a single data foundation instead of disconnected point solutions.

    With Gong: Gong delivers capabilities in conversation intelligence and sales engagement. However, organizations that use it often introduce additional systems for forecasting, customer success management, lead intelligence, pipeline governance, and coaching. Each added layer increases integration overhead, creates data silos, and costs.

    With Aviso:Aviso is designed as a unified revenue AI platform that supports lead intelligence, pipeline and opportunity management, predictive forecasting, and customer success within one integrated architecture. The same models, signal sources, and data hierarchies power every workflow. This reduces dependency on fragmented tools, helps eliminate the traditional Frankenstack of revenue applications, and can lower overall technology costs by up to 50% through tech stack consolidation and simplified operations.
