Gong: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Gong is a revenue AI platform that captures and analyses customer interactions such as calls, emails and meetings, and automates follow-up actions on that basis. Its offering includes Gong Engage for sales outreach, Gong Forecast for forecasting and pipeline analytics, Gong Enable for training, and Gong Agents for automating follow-ups. It is used by sales, revenue operations, customer success and enablement teams and is delivered as SaaS.

According to its privacy policy, the parent company Gong.io Ltd. is headquartered in Israel; Gong.io Inc. is the US subsidiary named as the contracting party in the data processing addendum. New customers can choose between a US data centre (the default) and an EU data centre, both on AWS. Processing may take place at offices in the United States, Israel and Ireland. Gong relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and on standard contractual clauses in its DPA; the European Commission regards Israel as providing adequate protection. A European organisation recording conversations with customers and staff should explicitly assess the choice of EU region and the transfer arrangements.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Gong

Gong is headquartered in IL, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

Gong hosts data in US, EU. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

Gong is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Gong together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
