### "Can't wait to see what's next"

April 12, 2022

5.0

Pros

Malbek is very easy to use and the UX/UI design is above average. The load time on screens is phenomenal and I rarely feel like the software is slowing me down from doing my work.

Cons

Using amendments has many restrictions that prevent us from using Malbek exclusively. Sometimes a contract has multiple amendment drafts in the works but Malbek only allows us to have one amendment in draft stage at a time. In addition, the amendments are no longer visible when a contract is inactive and a contract cannot be moved between domains once it is activated. Lastly, the information from the most recent activated amendment is not present in the header form and there is no way to see the contract with all amendments highlighted in a single view screen or consolidated file.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience using Malbek. We're so happy to hear that you've enjoyed the intuitive user experience and design. We also appreciate your feedback on amendments. While we provide two different types of amendments on contracts, (one of which does allow for multiple draft amendments at a time), Malbek has several new enhancements planned for amendments based on valuable input from customers like you. If you need additional support configuring your amendments, our customer success team would be happy to assist you further!

It has been an absolute pleasure working with the MALBEK team, they provided fast, clear and personalized services throughout the process of implementation. The MALBEK team is now a part of our EDF family - Cheers!

cloud based, price, self-service, user friendly, out of the box ready to use, options to customize workflows and processes, the ability to integrate with other programs/software, ease of configuration, enforcement of compliance, and the functionality, endless options, and growing opportunities, I do NOT recall the MALBEK team ever saying "no" to our requests!

Cons

missing a comprehensive procurement and purchasing contracting functionality (RFP), integration with sourcing, SOW issuance similar to an Amendment process against the agreement/contract, contract spend tracking, purchasing and A/P integration.

### "Review"

July 22, 2020

3.0

The person responsible for setting us up left the company, prior to company-wide implementation, and I was asked to take over. At the time, my role was simply to upload previously created documents into the system. Now I find myself calling weekly, and/or sending emails asking for help because I have not had the "from the beginning" training I need to full understand the moving parts of this system. The staff that has helped me is amazing and I am very appreciative of their time and knowledge.

Pros

Not able to answer at this point. I am still learning the process.

Cons

Due to my lack of knowledge of the system, this is not a user friendly experience for me. The support documents, while plentiful, do not seem to answer the questions I search for.

### "Excellent CMS with responsive, personalized, live support!"

May 26, 2022

5.0

Pros

Malbek is great for processing the contracts review/negotiation process. It is an easy tool to operate. The reporting functionality is outstanding. Since implementing Malbek, our understanding of our business and our ability to manage our client relationships has improved dramatically. The support team is responsive and I always have access to live support reps who are knowledgeable and can answer all my questions.

Cons

I wish it had the capability to send multiple documents in one signing event but I have been very pleased regardless. The system has been able to solve for all of the use cases that we had when we were considering different proposals from other systems. Nothing has popped up that the system cannot handle.

### "Review of Malbek Contrack Database by Procurement Category Manager in High Tech"

January 22, 2022

4.0

I work in Malbek everyday, and overall it's been a good experience. It took a little while for me to ramp-up (I am not a technology person), however once I learned the basics, and more and more features, I became much more comfortable with tool. Now, it;s second nature when I need to create, add or amend contracts.

Pros

I like the fact that it is easy to use, and you can search by name of ANY type of agreement very quickly

Cons

My onbe pet peeve is that when using the DocuSign signature add-on feature, you have to copy and paste the name and e-mail addresses every time. There is no auto-fill feature that recognizes names you use more than once. Having this would save a TON of time!

### "Great product, even greater support!"

July 15, 2020

5.0

Pros

Some of the main pros: \* Very easy to use and train new users, system is intuitive and easy to navigate. \* Searching contracts is very easy, they have a search/filter feature reminiscent of Amazon \* I can configure system by myself, very little need for IS support \* Integration with other systems (SAP, Salesforce etc) does not require additional programming costs or extensive IS support \* One of the greatest attributes of this solution is the people, the folks at Malbek are super responsive, helpful and use our feedback to improve their system. I feel like we have a great partnership!

Cons

Some things to work on: \* We have a large amount of data in each contracts and had some speed/performance issues that were greatly improved after we complained \* Would like a bit more visuals/dashboards on KPI, expiring contracts etc

### "Malbek is useful and dynamic"

August 8, 2021

5.0

Pros

Robust contract saving and lookup features, which once mastered on Malbek's platform are quick and easy to use 24/7. It is worth the initial investment to understand the saving and lookup procedures.

Cons

Like every contract management system, there are times when one might forget some of the feature workflows. That is ok--it is part of learning every new platform.

Reason for choosing Malbek

Good customer support, reasonable and explained pricing, and growth availability for customers like us. Other alternatives sometimes lack one or more of these important features.

### "Overall fantastic experience!"

July 15, 2020

4.0

My overall experience with Malbek has been exceptional. The team is extremely responsive to all requests and has accommodated and implemented a number of items we requested throughout the implementation and after implementation into their product. The team is very communicative with regards to the monthly releases and the Help Center to provide up-front assistance and direction to Admins. I'm not afraid of encountering any errors as the team is super quick to respond and provide solutions and workarounds.

Pros

My favorite features about Malbek are: the document wizard guidance at the beginning to allow for quick contract creation, the reporting and home dashboard for easy navigation and monitoring of specific documents, the easy ability to select different clause options in the online viewer, the comment functionality in the online viewer, and the straightforward ability to edit a current version or create a new version when opening a document in DocMaster.

Cons

My least favorite features about Malbek are: that fields during document creation are not contingent upon each other and can be conflicting, that metadata drop downs that are embedded in the document are visible to the client, there are no reminders for approvers besides the task list in the home view, and we can't right-click to open items in a new tab.

### "Best CLM in the market by far"

September 3, 2020

5.0

Accelerating quote to cash by expediting the contract configuration, review and execution. integrated with multiple applications.

Pros

ease of use ease of configuration speed connectivity

Cons

missing an AI tool for contract automation (draft, review, analyse, suggest)

Reason for choosing Malbek

we chose Malbek as it scored highest in all comps we performed a thorough review including RFP and sandbox testing some customers were reluctant to make a sandbox available to us, which put them out of the competition automatically

### "Malbek CLM"

September 16, 2022

3.0

Pros

Easy to use. Great repository. Salesforce integration works great & it is super important.

Cons

Not flexible enough. The permissions model is not robust enough. Works better for sales contracts than vendor contracts. Works well with MS office, but does not work well with a Gsuite org. Doc-master is cumbersome.

Reason for choosing Malbek

Seemed more simple

### "Great Technical Support and Training"

September 3, 2020

5.0

Pros

After working with Malbek for over 3 years, their team continue to impress me with their responsiveness! Everyone I have talked to has been friendly and knowledgeable with the program. They are more than willing to assist with any issues or questions I may have. When the questions are more complex, I am made aware that it is being worked on and receive a confirmation once completed. I am never left in limbo!

Cons

It is a separate platform for the company to use. However, we are not ready to connect it to our CRM as it is still being developed. It's an end-user issue more so than Malbek's.

### "A Joy to Use"

August 27, 2020

5.0

Our overall experience with Malbek has been overwhelmingly positive. The team has really learned how we work and provides great input on how we can configure Malbek to suit our processes. The Support team is super responsive as well.

Pros

Malbek has a clean, simple interface and the performance is great, no drop in speed during our busiest times around quarter-ends. It integrates really well with Salesforce - easy to make changes to field mappings, etc. to accommodate requests from the business. Easy to customize workflows to suit different areas of the business. Our Sales teams love the visibility they now have into the contracting process.

Cons

There are some small features in our roadmap we are working on getting added (additional metrics for reporting, ability to purge abandoned drafts on a schedule, etc.), would have been nice to have them from the start but Malbek is working with us to get these features added in future releases.

### "Malbek is fantastic"

July 22, 2020

5.0

Pros

I have used, tested, and seen demos for a variety of different contract management systems. Malbek combines usability, features, and speed in ways that other providers can't match. Malbek also integrates smoothly with the other applications used across the organization, which is a key feature for any contract management platform. Malbek hits on all the key attributes and continues to make improvements in a way that indicates they are focused on long term customer satisfaction and success.

Cons

Most of the drawbacks I've experience are correctable based on administrative set-up and configuration. Thus, it is hard to identify actual cons to the applicable itself. The Microsoft Word plug-in can be a little tricky to use, but this is the case with almost any CMS provider, and overall the Malbek plug-in works quite well overall.

### "Delivering what was promised"

April 20, 2021

5.0

We are early in the process but Malbek very quickly got a business critical workflow built and implemented for us. Iterations were fast and they've helped educate us along the way to be able to tweak and/or build on our own. This is intended to be a truly full lifecycle management tool from contract request, approval, negotiation, and post-signature tracking and reporting.

Pros

Very customizable, full lifecycle management tool. I particularly liked the visual workflow building and the ability to have approvers approve or reject via email. We have not built out document assembly yet but that will save us serious time in the future.

Cons

The only major feature we thought was missing they've already added during implementation. Even though the system is fairly intuitive, there is definitely a learning curve. The implementation team has been stellar though.

Reason for choosing Malbek

I reviewed in detail 10 CLM tools and ultimately selected Malbek. Malbek was the right balance between power (which usually means complex coding) and usability (which usually means not fully featured). The implementation team has delivered everything they promised on time and their experience has been valuable in modifying our own processes to match best practices.

September 13, 2022

4.0

Pros

At this time use we mainly use this software as a repository for our agreements. The system can automate the uploading through AdobeSign, but drag & drop is also a convenient tool to upload documents.

Cons

We are not using the software to its fullest capacity. There are many additional features that we would like to implement at our company. Specifically uploading and routing/editing a Vendor/Customer contract through the system from start to repository.

### "Malbek @ nextSource"

September 4, 2020

5.0

Prior to Malbek, nextSource was printing, signing and scanning contracts. Prior to Malbek, nextSource was manually tracking contract event dates. Mablek made contracting efficient.

Pros

Contract generation, version control with redlines, stage of contracting, integrated eSignature. Contract event reminders ensure I have time to notify stakeholders of (i) post contract deliverables, (ii) renewal notice. Schedule reports delivered to my email keeping me on time with providing reports to C - Suite. Cloud based repository for all contracts rather than depending on access to shared drive.

Cons

I am not having any challenges with the software.

September 13, 2022

4.0

A good product to start from. Depending on the level of sophistication of the needs, it can be expanded.

Pros

Ease of implementation and robustness. We were up and running in a matter of weeks with an immediate impact on the way we manage contracts.

Cons

User interface could be modernised, unfortunately this played against us in early adoption

Great platform. Balance between modern interface and functionality of a tool that has in the marketplace for decades. Very intuitive and will recommend!

Pros

Ease of use, searching capabilities, high level of configuration, clean UI, intuitive workflows and visualizations, intelligent and dedicated support and implementation resources

September 8, 2020

5.0

Pros

Being able to configure the system to meet our business requirements with no dependency on our IT staff was probably the most favorable part! Things we once relied on IT to help us with we were able to do ourselves with the support of the amazing Malbek team! No technical background required!

Cons

One feature that was missing upon implementation was the ability to mass download contracts with attachments. This was a really important feature for the business. The issue was brought to the attention of Malbek and it was addressed in a timely manner .. we now have this functionality available to us.
