### "Conga generates customized documents using Salesforce data for our grantmaking org"

April 4, 2024

4.0

Overall, it does a good job of why we have it: to generate and send customized documents to grantees. Our consultant recommended it and it works for us, even if developing solutions can be a bit tricky. Their customer service has always been responsive and helpful.

Pros

Set it up once and then the hard work is done. Easy to update templates. Easy for users to both generate documents and use the solutions (in our case, sending the customized letter that was generated attached to a customized email.)

Cons

It can be a bit non-intuitive and needs a little learning curve to develop solutions.

### "Conga for Plans and Policies"

November 21, 2018

5.0

Conga has saved my team so much time and effort by allowing us to configure and manipulate templates around a single source of data to produce multiple unique documents.

Pros

Conga enabled my team to easily create and automate all of the different plans and polices that we manage through the use of templates and highly configurable fields, all while maintaining our specific branding and format.

Cons

Conga can be daunting for new users. Thankfully, they have great resources for training and getting users started with creating their own documents.

### "Great product not cheap but could not ask for more"

August 7, 2023

3.0

Brilliant,

Pros

Great that all that you need is on the same platform so no need to worry about integrations

Cons

Can be slow at times and is not the cheapest but is worth the cost on how easy it is to setup and maintain

Reason for choosing Conga Composer

Best on the market for Salesforce

### "At my prior job, we used Octiv (then known as Tinderbox) for contract delivery and contract signing."

April 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

I liked how easy the product was to upload to Salesforce and then send to the clients for signing. It was not only easy internally for the person sending the document but also for the client to open and access (which means the most)!

Cons

I didn't really have any cons about the software. It was very easy for the client to use which is what mattered most since majority of the time we would send the document while on the phone with them and walk them through signing.

### "Saves me time, but does not always work"

April 21, 2019

5.0

We do not need to send field back and forth between departments to be redundantly looked over and data reentered. We can just create each file and the next person can merge all of the data together with a single mail merge. Another benefit is being able to combine multiple files into a single report that is professional looking that we can then send off to a client. This program saves a lot of time and promotes accuracy by getting rid of human error.

Pros

I like that conga Composer saves me time because I do not have to go back and forth and re enter the same information- especially lots of data. I'm pretty sure that I make fewer errors because I don't have to re enter all of the data by hand. There are easy to find categories to merge and then create a single professional product.

Cons

There can be issues with its integration with Salesforce. It will sometimes freeze and we have to restart Salesforce or sign in over and over. It also sometimes comes up with all of the fields blank that were supposed to be filled in by the mail marge. You always have to double check a document before submitting it because potentially all of the fields will say zero. This happens every once in a while.

### "Elimination of redundant data entry"

April 15, 2019

5.0

Pros

Conga Composer has helped you reduce the amount of redundant data entry involved with our sales process. This has allowed us to streamline our agreement process and allow our sales team to focus more on the sale than the paperwork.

Cons

I wish there were more functionality with PDF documents.

### "Endless possibilities!"

January 12, 2019

5.0

I find that the system is excellent and there support is even better.

Pros

I’ve used conga for years and the functionality is the best of all document generation systems in Salesforce. There is endless possibilities with Conga and I find myself building my business processes around Conga because it truly improves my productivity

Cons

It can be a little complicated for new users to understand how conga works

### "NFE Review"

August 11, 2023

4.0

Servicable Software, but difficult to implement and expand upon without specialized dev support.

Pros

Integration with SFDC is good. When it works it's smooth and gets to clients and contacts effectively. FAQ & Reading literature is extensive and helpful for specific issues.

Cons

Integration with SFDC is good, but doesn't come with a lot of early, out-of-the-box power. It's rather complex to implement and we required additional services to assist in doing so. Difficult for a smaller company to execute and even the developers stuggled (3 months of issues) to get it up and running properly.For the price, this product needs to be far easier to use, easy to try and easier to buy. The limit of like 10 licenses + 5 for Conga Sign assumes a very large staff doing more than most companies want their teams to be doing in 30-50 employee companies. Also startup costs were high as mentioned and training was a little unclear for a 1st-time user, instead providing decent solutions for advanced users or devs.

### "Good product, but not a good fit for us."

September 15, 2022

4.0

Overall our users found it very frustrating to use and many stopped due to the limitations of working with the PDF format only. The content library was difficult to use. Any content added to the Conga platform was converted to HTML format, so even when downloaded, it was difficult to work with. Conga and Microsoft office products do not work together.

Pros

The tool did produce an attractive and well formatted proposal. Making most updates was easy.

Cons

We were told that the proposal would easily convert to a word document, which never happened so this was a challenge when clients needed a word document from us. Tables or excel type formats were extremely difficult to incorporate into the document. The content library didn't offer any format for organizing, only searching. Anytime we attempted to send our proposals out of the tool, we were not confident that our client would receive it, so we stopped using this component of the tool. Adjusting the page breaks was very time consuming.

Reason for choosing Conga Composer

At the time, Conga presented very well.

### "Good for Salesforce"

September 7, 2022

4.0

It was a good, solid solution for quotes coming out of Salesforce CPQ.

Pros

It was a good application to use in terms of matching up the full fledged flexibility and customization that Salesforce provides and then being able to put it onto a proposal.

Cons

As a standalone application, it felt dated. Also, we had complaints from some customers that they couldn't sign the document, but it very well could have been user error.

### "Conga Docs Review"

August 8, 2023

5.0

Pros

It's easy to use and it integrates well with systems such as Salesforce and other Conga-related products.

Cons

The fact that you have to always generate a template before you use it for any document generation.

### "Excellent Software to improve effencies"

August 31, 2022

5.0

Pros

I love the integration with Salesforce and the simplicity of implementation. There are lots of easy forums to get training on how to code up the templates to automate the information coming through from Salesforce. It has greatly improved efficiencies within our team and ensures consistency in the documentation going out to our customers.

Cons

Our security systems really struggle with allowing the software to always work, this is more an issue our end than a Conga criticism but i'm sure every business using this has very strict security on devices which needs to be considered carefully when using the product.

### "Conga Composer & Conga Sign"

September 21, 2022

4.0

Pros

Conga Composer for document generation is perfect to use and integrate with salesforce. Conga Sign is user friendly and also easy to use and integrate with salesforce. Conga support is highest quality.

Cons

Need more examples in Conga Documentation from technical point a view, functionalities, limitations, use cases. Some functionalities have only description and not use cases, examples...etc Miss translation functionality for Conga Composer and document generation. For Conga Sign, the translation is available only for some languages.

### "The standard for documentation creation in Salesforce"

August 3, 2023

5.0

I recommend Conga to all my clients and each project has been a success. The success is based on a combination of the product and your support team; I've had to engage the support guys on all projects

Pros

Conga has a deep feature list, so even if clients start off with a simple requirement such as quote or contract creation, they can add more sophisticated features or complimentary Conga products over time

Cons

As a consultant, I find the merge queries to be very time consuming to get right

Reason for choosing Conga Composer

I'm more familiar with Conga

### "Great Tool in Theory But Lots of Functionality Issues"

November 22, 2016

3.0

Our proposal team has been using this tool for almost two years. When the tool was called Tinderbox, we found it to be pretty good with minor functionality issues. Since it became Octiv, we've gotten into the habit of calling customer support 2 - 3 times per month. There seem to be more bugs than before. Asset pages get lost, user privileges get messed-up, and the whole tool seems slower and clunky.

Pros

User-friendly, easy to teach others how to use, good organizational system

Cons

Since the tool became Octiv, there are more glitches.

We went from 16 Excel templates to one button, auto selects the correct contact and sends it via Conga Sign to the client

Pros

You, as admin get a powerful tool to create templates for your users. Your users get a 1 button solution to send complicated documents with ease.

Pros

Templates require technical expertise. There's a lot of turnover in Conga's customer account relationship staff.
