What do you like best about Grain?

Auto generated transcripts are really helpful. The search function is really good. Creating clips and highlights is very easy. It's better than TLDV in the sense that you can easily embed clips and share them with clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

The transcripts aren't always very accurate. For regional languages the feature doess not work. If the regional languagess could also be transcribed accurately, grain would become my ultimate go to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grain solving and how is that benefiting you?

- It helps me share clips with clients, helps crreate video stories so clients know the entire picture, also the clips can be embedded everywhere very easily. The ability to share and embed is really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Grain?

Grain allows us to quickly & easily review, analyze, and share the key moments that matter most to our clients and team development. The automated insights and coaching capabilities have been invaluable in driving growth and refining our strategies for both client coaching and team development.

We have a lot of neurodivergent team members & clients so we use grain for every single call even one offs or impromptu calls (those are where the magic happens half the time). We really love how Grain allows us to stay fully engaged in our calls, knowing we can easily revisit details whenever needed.

Their support team has been really awesome and communicative whenever we have questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

If you use hubspot its got a native integration, alas, I do not use hubspot so I gotta do a bit more work to get the recaps etc integrated into my client notes & other automations. Thats really the only dislike and its not even a biggie. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grain solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prevents Loss of Ideas and Insights, Improves Coaching and Feedback, Increases Efficiency, Enhances Accountability and Clarity, Boosts Productivity in Follow-Up. Overall, Grain is a powerhouse for my company's operations, ensuring that we’re organized, accountable, and continually improving our service—making it a key asset in delivering top-notch client experiences and empowering our team.

What do you like best about Grain?

Grain has been a fantastic addition to our toolkit, particularly due to its smooth integration with HubSpot, which significantly simplifies our workflow. The option to pull in Zoom cloud recordings without the need for an assistant to join every call is a brilliant feature, allowing us to record key information unobtrusively. Grain’s approach of delivering essential functionality at a fraction of the cost of other platforms like Gong is a huge benefit, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that need robust call recording, sentiment analysis, and workflow insights without the hefty price tag. The customisable templates and smart tags are excellent for tailoring the software to our specific needs, making it easier to track important phrases and outcomes in client conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

There are a few limitations with phrase recognition in smart tags, which can make it challenging to capture specific phrases consistently across calls. It would also be helpful to see more options for currency and regional language support, as these would make the platform even more user-friendly for non-U.S. markets, especially in terms of UK English nuances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grain solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main benefit of using Grain for us is its ability to capture valuable insights and intelligence from our calls and seamlessly push this information into the appropriate sections of our CRM. This automation saves us time and ensures that key details are accurately logged, enhancing our ability to follow up effectively and maintain well-informed, data-driven interactions with clients. Grain’s integration with HubSpot has streamlined our workflow, allowing us to focus more on the quality of our client relationships and less on manual data entry.

What do you like best about Grain?

I found Grain very easy to adapt and implement in our company. Zach was very responsive to my questions during our trial and we could use it out of the box. It was easy to create new templates and our team has learned greatly from the coaching feature. We integrated Grain with out HubSpot account and already have seen great improvement in our data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

The integration with HubSpot is simple, for meetings you are not able to different a meeting from a call, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grain solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Grain we had no visibilty on the meetings we were having with our clients. We have been able to not only see the meetings now but use the coaching feature to identify weaknesses with our sales team. We saw that our team was not ending meetings with scheduling a follow-up m meeting so we were able to fix that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Grain?

Grain has become a critical part of our platform stack, significantly enhancing our workflow for sales and customer meetings. We've been recording all our meetings through Grain, and its ability to produce accurate summaries and detailed transcripts has streamlined our processes immensely.

Not only does Grain save us time by generating summaries, but it also helps us create valuable assets and proposals directly from meeting content. This has improved the speed and quality of our follow-ups, ensuring we never miss a detail.

The platform is intuitive, reliable, and seamlessly integrates into our workflow. Grain has truly transformed how we approach meeting documentation and follow-up tasks. I highly recommend it to any team looking to maximize efficiency and make the most out of their meeting data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

I have been wanting to do more with its API but haven't gotten around to it. It would be nice to be able to use the AI outputs to store in my project management tool so that I can take actions from meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grain solving and how is that benefiting you?

One major benefit of using Grain is the ability to review past client meetings and quickly get up to speed on what has transpired. This has proven particularly valuable when clients ask about events or discussions from months ago. With Grain, we can easily revisit past meetings and provide a clear, detailed picture of what occurred, ensuring accurate and reliable communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Grain?

The AI is really smart, it always knows whats the preamble and non-work related chat in meetings and doesnt bother summarising them. And the notes it generates are really really good, better than competitors that I've tried such as Fathom and Gemini Notes in Google Meet.

The integration with Google calendar is perfect, and the ability to upload recordings later without having to add in the meeting bot is great if customer or participant doesnt like the idea of an AI bot being their.

It's feature rich but not complicated to use and setup, the CSM was brilliant at walking me through admin and setup even after I had had a trial.

We use it internally in lots of meetings as well as in customer meetings. Internally its been great to help people who miss meetings, and invaulable at driving accountability in those meetings ensuring that decisions are made and action points are discussed. With customer meetings it's saved countless hours and therefore countless $'s from our sales and CSM teams having to manuall input notes into our HubSpot CRM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

That I didnt find it years ago!

In all seriousness, there's not a lot I dislike about it. The Productboard integration isn't amazing, but we've gotten what we need by using Zapier instead and using that to send thigns to Productboard.

And if you uplaod a recording you cant push notes to your CRM (but I was told they are working on that) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grain solving and how is that benefiting you?

Geeting good accurate notes form sales calls, ensures key information is not missed or forgotten.

It also ensures our product team can get great feedback directly into their systems using keyword matches and automation.

In internal calls its great a sumamrising for those who couldnt attend and driving accountability with action points Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Grain?

Grain is a seemless experience that just does what you'd expect it to and then that much more.

User friendly interface, updates that just make sense, and a very helpful support team.

Great integration with Hubspot that saves me 30 minutes per sales call I have.

I use them to transcribe my sales calls and help my team with sales call reviews Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

If you're looking for the biggest name in the industry they might not be for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grain solving and how is that benefiting you?

Grain saves me the time I was previously using to transcribe notes.

it also allows me to be more present in a call because I can go back and review and revise notes

Before I would be distracted taking notes and then missing critical info from the buyer.

Now I can pay better attention and clarify details in my notes at a later time or allow the AI note taker to summraize for me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Grain?

Grain has been most helpful to us as an add-on to all of your internal and external meetings. Some of our most favorite uses of it include: highlighting quotes; highlighting material to be used in creating social media content; sharing a transcript of the meeting with a client or our students; being able to easily revisit the meeting, search on a keyword, and call up what we want in a matter of seconds.

We've been using the Grain app for over 3 years and their onboarding and on-going support makes it so easy to learn how to use. Implementation in our business was super simple because Grain support was there to answer any questions that we had.

Not a workday goes by that we don't use Grain as part of every meeting we have. It easily integrates with Zoom and we just love that feature too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Grain?

There isn't anything I don't like about Grain. They are an absolutely amazing, dedicated, and friendly company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Grain solving and how is that benefiting you?

We originally turned to Grain because we were struggling with a clunky workflow of recording our meetings on Zoom, having them sent out to get transcripts, and it was a lot of back and forth work on our part.

Once we implemented Grain, we now not only get a crystal clear video recording, we get a very accurate transcript of the meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
