How Granola and TRAQ Approach Conversation Data Differently
Granola: transcribe, then let go of the audio
Granola captures device audio, transcribes it, and does not retain the raw audio afterward. Its Enterprise plan adds an admin dashboard, domain management, and configurable retention for teams that want tidier meeting notes at scale.
- Good fit for teams that mainly need well-organized meeting notes
- Templates, note organization, and sharing built for broad, cross-functional use
- Granola does not currently publish sales-specific coaching, rep scorecards, or deal-risk analysis as core product capabilities
TRAQ: record, retain, and coach from it
TRAQ captures and retains calls (or imports existing FLAC, WAV, MP3, M4A, or MP4 recordings) so it can power coaching, scorecards, a searchable deal library, and cross-call analysis — trading raw-audio retention for deeper, sales-specific analysis.
- Purpose-built for sales coaching, deal risk, and pipeline visibility
- Enterprise controls including SSO, role-based access, and audit logging
- TRAQ maintains your data for as long as you are a client. You have the option to modify the data retention policy depending on your organization’s requirements.
Why this matters for RevOps
- If your priority is minimizing stored audio and you don’t need sales-specific coaching, Granola’s current Enterprise tier may already meet your governance bar.
- If you seek meeting notes, Granola is fine. If you want to know what happened in a call, understand the issues, figure out how to improve team performance, and satisfy clients, TRAQ is the choice.
- Either way, ask each vendor for current SOC 2 reports, DPAs, and audit-log documentation before rolling a tool out organization-wide — don’t rely on a comparison article alone.
Where TRAQ Goes Deeper for Revenue Teams
Sales coaching & scorecards
Score every rep against your own playbook, run role-play simulations, and flag coaching moments automatically — capabilities Granola does not currently publish as core product features.
Deal risk & pipeline visibility
Surface stalled deals, missing next steps, and competitive mentions across your pipeline — not just a transcript of one call.
Cross-call & relationship intelligence
Connect the dots across every conversation with an account, not just one meeting, to understand stakeholder sentiment over time.
Renewal & expansion signals
Catch churn risk and expansion opportunities inside customer conversations, well before they surface in your CRM.
Native phone & dialer capture
Analyze inbound and outbound phone calls with the same engine used for video meetings — with broader business-phone and dialer integrations than Granola’s current phone-call support.
Purpose-built mobile field recorder
A dedicated in-person recording app, built specifically for reps working trade shows, site visits, and face-to-face pitches.
Sales-workflow CRM integration
Push action items, deal insights, and next steps back into your CRM automatically, with bi-directional sync — not just meeting notes.
Searchable conversation library
Search transcripts, moments, and topics across every call, phone conversation, and in-person meeting in one unified archive.
Customizable analysis frameworks
No two sales orgs sell the same way. Configure custom scorecards, tagging, and analysis frameworks built around your own playbook, KPIs, and definition of a winning call — not a one-size-fits-all template.
Built to the Standards Your Organization Requires
Compliance program
We can improve this section. We are HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 Compliant.
Enterprise SSO & SAML
Integrate with your existing identity provider so access follows your company’s provisioning and offboarding policies automatically.
Role-based permissions
Control exactly who can view, share, or export recordings and transcripts, down to the team and territory level.
Audit trails
Access, share, and export activity is logged, giving RevOps and security teams visibility into who touched what, and when.
Encryption in transit & at rest
Recordings, transcripts, and insights are encrypted in transit and at rest, protecting sensitive customer and deal information at every stage.
Configurable retention & residency
Your retention window and data residency options
Every Conversation Counts — Not Just the Ones on Zoom
Meeting Assistant
Joins your Zoom, Teams, or Meet calls automatically, capturing audio, video, and screen-share context for AI-powered insights.
In-Person Recorder
Capture face-to-face meetings, trade shows, and on-site conversations from a mobile device, with the same transcription and coaching engine used for calls.
Cell Phone & Dialer Capture
Automatically capture and analyze outbound and inbound calls — including calls made directly from a cell phone — feeding the same insights engine as your video meetings.
“We had reps using general note-taking apps with zero coaching or pipeline visibility. TRAQ gave us one platform for every call, in person or on video, plus the coaching data our managers actually needed.”
TRAQ vs. Granola: Frequently Asked Questions
Is Granola secure enough for enterprise teams?
Granola’s Enterprise plan includes SSO/SAML, admin controls, and configurable retention — a meaningful upgrade from its early personal-notetaker roots. For teams that mainly need secure meeting notes, Granola’s current governance may well be sufficient. The bigger gap for revenue teams isn’t security — it’s sales-specific depth: coaching, scorecards, deal-risk scoring, and a unified sales intelligence layer across every conversation, which Granola does not currently publish as a core capability.
What security standards does TRAQ meet?
Can TRAQ record in-person meetings, not just video calls?
Yes. Granola now supports in-person meetings too, but TRAQ unifies virtual capture (Meeting Assistant), cell phone and dialer capture, and in-person capture (a dedicated mobile recorder plus a Desktop Recorder) inside one platform, so every conversation feeds the same coaching and deal-insight engine — not just a notes app.
Does TRAQ integrate with our CRM?
Is Granola built specifically for sales teams?
Granola now has a dedicated sales use case and CRM integrations, which is a real step forward. But it’s still fundamentally a meeting notetaker rather than a sales coaching or pipeline-analysis platform — it doesn’t include scorecards, role-play, or deal-risk scoring. TRAQ, by contrast, is purpose-built as a conversation intelligence platform for revenue teams, covering coaching, pipeline visibility, and go-to-market insights alongside recording and transcription.
What's the real difference between Granola not storing audio and TRAQ retaining recordings?
This is an architecture tradeoff, not a security flaw on either side. Granola transcribes audio and then discards it, which can appeal to teams that want to minimize stored voice data. TRAQ retains recordings specifically so it can power coaching playback, scorecards, MCP-driven deal-risk analysis, and a searchable call archive over time. Neither approach is inherently more or less secure — choose based on whether your team needs to revisit recorded calls for coaching and analysis, or just the resulting notes.
