# Gong

Gong is a reality platform that captures what is going on with a company's customers and team to deliver insights and guidance that allows companies to adapt, upskill, and hit company targets. See <https://www.gong.io>. You can protect access to Gong by integrating Gong with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Gong account through Identity as a Service.
