Chose Clio Draft
MyCase now has signature and template features, but no way to use court forms. There's just nothing out there that compares to LawYaw for law offices. Before LawYaw, we had looked into creating our own software to do what LawYaw does (obviously, that was very complicated and …

NA - We did not evaluate other programs like Conga.
Chose Conga Composer
DocuSign and Formstack for Salesforce
Chose Conga Composer
Firstly, we used Conga Composer to generate documents and DocuSign as the e-signature tool. However, Conga Sign proved to be much more cost-effective for our user base, as users didn’t need to switch to another system like DocuSign to send contracts to customers. With both …
Chose Conga Composer
Yeah, Conga is something that the client has selected. We asked them the same question — they believe they’re a long-time user of Conga and they have trust in that product. So that’s the reason.
Chose Conga Composer
Only reason was its integration with salesforce. In those apps, we had to manually copy paste the data to generate document and get signed but with conga composer’s salesforce integration, it fetches all the data from salesforce and generate the document for us and once …
Chose Conga Composer
We have used PandaDoc and with our personal experience, we can say that Composer is way better as it lets us pull data from multiple Salesforce objects, apply conditional logic, and generate highly customized documents.
Chose Conga Composer
Conga Composer helps us in document generation part and once the document has been generated from Conga Composer it can be sent out to the customers. Here we can also use Conga Email Template to send out the message and the attachments. Docusign here works so well and we can …
Chose Conga Composer
S-Docs is also great with Salesforce; however, it offers broader integration, scalable automation, and a deeper support ecosystem. Conga Composer delivers more powerful and flexible document generation.
Chose Conga Composer
I've used PandaDoc before; it is nowhere near as good as Conga Composer in terms of usability and end-user experience. Conga is much more valuable and business-oriented.
Chose Conga Composer
Can have more control with Aspose by using more code to dynamically generate the document to your exact needs.
Chose Conga Composer
Easily the best In the market. Still needs massive improvements in my opinion. Alot of use cases look legacy today!
Chose Conga Composer
Conga Composer works well with Conga Grid.
Chose Conga Composer
Better pricing and better functionality.
Chose Conga Composer
IDK - I really don't have a comparison to give
Chose Conga Composer
No other tools that are comparable.
Chose Conga Composer
We used the out of the box salesforce functionality but realized when our order forms used multiple currencies and had some customization we realized we needed a tool like Conga Composer
Chose Conga Composer
We did not try any other products with our Salesforce instance.
Chose Conga Composer
Benchmarking is upcoming. Conga Composer was already implemented when I joined the company
Chose Conga Composer
We used Microsoft Excel to manipulate all the data from different objects, now we can click a button and the report is generated, Excel provides a powerful tool, but Conga Composer is better than Excel to generate the data in the format that the customer wants, you don't need …
Sage CRM
Chose Sage CRM
We evaluated many other CRM but selected Sage CRM because it is one of the most cost effective CRM's available in the market. I would say this is the best platform to manage leads, though they have not a great customer support team still it solves the basic problem of lead …
Chose Sage CRM
Price-wise this product is more affordable so we choose the Sage CRM.

Sage is an awesome CRM and has several functionalities that several small business can take advantage of however for a small start up business that is trying to get its legs, Hubspot has affordable pricing and complete customization of the backend, meaning that you can create …
Chose Sage CRM
Salesforce didn't have the integration we needed in Sage CRM. The number of dollars spent on hiring developers or buying a product, in addition to the licensing for Salesforce itself put it out of reach.
Chose Sage CRM
I used Salesforce in the past which does almost everything as Sage CRM, but typically it's a bit expensive. It also lacks the advanced web interface and did not suit well with other software.
Chose Sage CRM
I have looked at and used both Salesforce and Maximizer in the past. Salesforce offer similar functionality to Sage CRM at much higher price typically. Maximer has less funtionality and because of its on premise background lacks the advanced web interface of Sage CRM.
Chose Sage CRM
I like that it is web based and it can be used remotely but the reporting of data needs some work.
Chose Sage CRM
I have a preference for Salesforce.com because of the app exchange that they have. Sage CRM is more on par with Oracle CRM and Netsuite CRM. Oracle CRM is the most similar with the dual options of on-premise and cloud based solutions. I am mostly working with Salesforce.com …
Chose Sage CRM
Since we have since left Sage CRM, due to not matching up to our current needs, I would not be able to answer this question.
Chose Sage CRM
Salesforce and Maximizer CRM. In my personal opinion, I prefer both of these products over Sage CRM. They are both more user friendly and easier to maintain. Also Sage has shot their prices up over the years and the price just does not match the product, in my opinion. Sage CRM …
Chose Sage CRM
Whilst SAGE CRM was selected around 10 years ago and we became a partner, the main contenders would have been at the time Sales Logix and MS CRM 4.0. However, we had extensive experience of the mid-market CRM's and decided on SAGE CRM since it had a clean, easy to understand …
Chose Sage CRM
I believe that Sage CRM is superior to Salesforce, having worked with both I found Salesforce tedious to work with, not very logical set up and key information was hard to find. I know that people that have not had the pleasure of working with Sage CRM were satisfied with …
Chose Sage CRM
I've not evaluated any other products and this system was in place long before I came on board. I will say I've used other systems in the past and this system is user friendly, easy to learn, well laid out, functional, and very rarely goes down or experiences technical issues. …
Chose Sage CRM
We are a partner that implements most of the mainstream CRM products in the marketplace and Sage CRM is a great fit because of the low cost to deploy, the ease of setting up and rolling out the technology, and the continued improvements and enhancements through Sage Software to …
Chose Sage CRM
Microsoft CRM has much better integration with MS Office (as expected). Salesforce has much better remote access and mobile device access.
Chose Sage CRM
Cannot comment on this because I have not used any other CRM program.
Chose Sage CRM
I have evaluated and implemented MS Dynamics CRM from a business perspective, and more recently Salesforce.com CRM as an administarator. Sage was more intuitive than Salesforce, and also less expensice than both of them. At that time, I used Sage CRM because the company I was …
Chose Sage CRM
The CRM integrates better but all talk to ERP systems in some way. Depends on customer needs here.
Chose Sage CRM
GoldMine, ACT!, MSCRM, Saleslogix, Sugar CRM, Salesforce.com
Sage CRM is stronger or equal to each. The depth that is available out of the box is excellent, and though configuration is almost necessary, it makes the product extremely powerful. Many clients rely on the …
Chose Sage CRM
Because of the better pipeline resolution
Chose Sage CRM
The ease of use for our many different types of users makes it an easy choice for me and hopefully for the other employees I have recommended it to. I have seen the results as compared to other platforms and in my experience, it is far superior and easier to work with.

If you want to save time and reduce errors, this software will get you there.

From my experience, Conga Composer is particularly well-suited for generating documents, such as quotes and contracts, directly from Salesforce. It saves us a great deal of time, which is remarkably beneficial for companies with sales teams. Not suitable for companies lacking significant Salesforce expertise or administrative support.

as it is a very flexible software that can be adapted to any business model, other functions human resource management, manufacturing and supply chain planning, all these functions are housed in a highly technological interface.

Pros
  • Reduces scrivener's errors.
  • Saves time

  • It allows us to generate multiple documents at once using batch generation. This simple automation saves a lot of time for our team.
  • Its very user friendly. Even a newbie can simply generate document by clicking a button once this is setup by the admin.
  • Integrate Conga Sign with Conga Composer and it will automatically sent for e- signature once generated saving lot of time. we previously had to wait a lot for the signature.

  • Sage CRM is very intuitive and easy to use. The benefit to organizations using this system is that users will find executing daily tasks seamless and accessing historical information easily while selling or servicing customers and prospects.
  • The dashboards and reporting are extensive at both a global and a client level. In addition, these reports and dashboards are available through any interface (smartphone, tablet, browser). This makes accessing real time information in a meaningful way available to users easy through any device wherever the user is located.
  • Escalations and workflow are also very powerful. Sage CRM uniquely provides the ability for users to execute workflow from within the context of the dashboards. What this means is that every day tasks can be executed quickly without lots of time searching through client records.

Cons

  • Zapier integrations

  • Not very intuitive. Once you know the system it's fine but there is a learning curve
  • I would like to see training opportunities on features that I am not using or aware of

  • Reliance on Apache Tomcat causes a lot of headaches. There are common issues trying to start up the server, resulting from Apache Tomcat misconfigurations, or Java. Some forum posts on Sage City address common issues, but digging into server logs seems to be an often occurrence.
  • Support is somewhat lacking, less user install base means error messages are sometimes hard to find quick answers for. Most of the knowledge found on the internet is in the Sage City forum.
  • Integration with Microsoft 365 causes you to have to turn off some security features. This will result in your 365 tenants running lower security standards than recommended, it may put you at risk for targeted attacks.

We most likely will renew conga because of it's strong salesforce integration and we're so engrained into it with all of our different brands and products/services. It would take a lot of time, money and resources to switch to something else.

There are really no other words to say, it is a very easy to use application that is more straightforward and has provided better results with the bulk of features that appeal to a very broad amount of users. There may be other CRM platforms out there that are more prevalent, but I have found them to be much more clunky and less intuitive than Sage CRM.

It's a fairly simple tool to integrate into your current business structure. When we've had issues, we were able to resolve them extremely quickly. The users click a button and it can bring in all the quote lines, and our credit application seamlessly into our tool. I'd definitely recommend it to other colleagues

Sage works very quickly based on the network you are using it on. It is internet based so if your network is slow, it will perform slowly. Reports seem to run reasonably fast, if there is too much information it is trying to populate that could slow it down a little. When Sage CRM is integrated with a Sage ERP product it doesn't tend to slow down either system at all

MyCase now has signature and template features, but no way to use court forms. There's just nothing out there that compares to LawYaw for law offices. Before LawYaw, we had looked into creating our own software to do what LawYaw does (obviously, that was very complicated and expensive). It has every court form for anywhere in California already built into it.

We have not been able to find an offering that allowed for the level of customization or could handle the complexity of the solutions we've built using Conga's products. We selected Conga originally as it was recommended at the time (2012) and there weren't any better alternatives - but we have looked recently and still can't find anything better.
