Nintex DocGen for Salesforce (formerly Drawloop) helps users generate, download and send company-approved documents to customers to ensure documents are on brand and accurate.
There are not a lot of competitors to compare this product with, but ActiveDocs holds its own as a very useful software for the need. I recommend doing a demo to see how the process works, but it's rather streamlined and easy to create a template and produce a document from it.
It is best suited for scenarios that apply to generating documents based on information gathered in your Salesforce. By using the field inserter and uploading a template for generation, you are able to take that Salesforce information and create a digestible document for your intended audience. You are able to generate multiple documents by creating different templates for use.
Very good usability overall. Any user can pick this up and run with it. HotDocs, the closest competitor, has similar end-user usability, but from a designer of templates perspective, ActiveDocs definitely has the edge in this regard. I would recommend this for any company that mass produces documents from templates as deliverables.
The software overall is very excellent. It responds quickly and produces documents well. The integration with systems makes data input easy. Questions can be designed to allow further expansion of template creation/customization. The rules section is very useful for complicated If/Than/Else style templates. Although experience and training help, the software is very user-friendly out of the box.
ActiveDocs can be a considerably complex product because your use cases can be potentially endless. In our experience, when we have come across a problem or issue with the product ActiveDoc's support has always responded to our queries within 24 hours. Support is only provided via email in 95% of cases. Each year your support and maintenance includes support hours. These are used when you contact support and your issue is not found to be a bug or problem with the product (completely fair and understandable). When we've identified or discovered bugs (mainly with the latest version of Word) it is patched by the next release. They typically release about 4-5 updates per year.
In relation to other software that have a functionality similar to ActiveDocs, they don't even compare in relation to the interface, I didn't use all the software available on the market, but the ones I used and I can compare, ActiveDocs is without a doubt the best among them. We really likes the interface.
I believe that Conga is a great tool that is very similar to Nintex. However, I do believe Nintex is constantly updating its features. I also like the fact that their knowledge base on the website is wonderful and not convoluted. In addition to that, the customer service is amazing. I don't think I remember having any issues with Nintex, but I do remember one instance where they got back to me within 2 hours, and I appreciated that.
