Conga Contracts vs ContractPodAi: Which is a better fit?

Kelly: Hi, my name is Kelly. I am a digital transformation director. I would give Conga Contracts a four out of five star rating. And for more reviews, you can click below. Before Conga Contracts, we were just using out-of-the-box PDF templates, and I think the biggest issue with that was just the manual data entry required. So it was not connected to our CRM, and therefore, we needed to copy paste all of the information to populate the quote or contract from the CRM into these templates, which was a huge, huge productivity burden. We chose Conga Contracts for two primary reasons. The first one is that it wasn't that different from a user perspective than our previous solution. We were really happy with the way our contracts looked previously. They just took too much time. So the first one was the familiarity. The second point of why we chose them was the integration with our CRM. So we used Salesforce, and it was really great to be able to, with a click of a button, populate all of the Salesforce data that we needed to into the contract, so that instead of entering 70 to 80 fields, we were really entering four to five per contract. So Conga Contracts's start is actually, I think, the most difficult part of Conga Contracts. Once you set up your templates and connect them to your CRM, it's very, very easy to manage and make minor tweaks. However, the setup process is actually the most difficult piece. So it does take a little bit of training or working with an implementation partner, but the way we looked at it was that, for us, the productivity improvement was well worth the investment to implement. And after about three months, we had broken even from our implementation costs and were just constantly saving time and productivity and money as well. So I think if you're considering Conga Contracts, if you rely and use your CRM heavily, it's wonderful because it can tap into all of the data in your CRM, whether it be deals or contacts or accounts or leads. It's really, really nice to have that integration. If you don't have the strong CRM use in your organization, it might be a little bit overkill for your needs. So I would evaluate the CRM strength of your org, and also just understand that it's going to be a little bit more expensive than the solution that you're probably using out of the gate, but you get that ROI back really quickly once you see the productivity benefits.
