    The first time using it feels like magic. Its ability to analyze an existing codebase and adapt accordingly to questions, feature requests, issues, etc. is remarkable. However, it is not limited to an existing codebase - I've had it create new applications based on styling from another application from scratch. It has quickly gone from an amazing novelty to something that is relied upon daily.

    • Analyzing existing programs, explaining clearly what it does.
    • Rewriting programs in a more modern language and/or a much more modular design, adding lots of explanatory comments.
    • Analyzing large amounts of data, verifying assumptions are either true or false.
    • Improving my ability to write good prompts, by asking IBM Bob feedback about the prompt(s) I used.

    Cons
    Concord Worldwide, Inc.
    • Make it easier to find the templates from any page
    • Improve the search function--it's sometimes difficult to find specific documents when searching
    • Change back to "limited editor" and "no editing rights" when sharing documents; the new term of "viewer" makes it seem like nothing can be edited at all

    • The setup of skills can be more simplified
    • since the IBM Bob IDE is embedded in a VSCode based framework, we have to deal with the same UI (and missing guided workflows)
    • The help pages are only available via URLs. I like to see an embedded help file which is structured and includes a search feature

    Concord is extremely user friendly and saves me so much time! How else would I be able to manage all of the contracts for 9 different agencies all by myself?!?

    It works well, for the most part, but asking for authorization for multiple steps or tool installation and use sometimes becomes bothersome. You can grant blanket authorizations but I do prefer to have a tradeoff there so not all is bad, but sometimes I get the impression that we get asked the same question several times during the same workflow.

    Support Rating
    Concord Worldwide, Inc.
    I gave it a five because it was the closest to a neutral response. I have not had issues with Concord and have not had a reason to contact support, so I don't have an accurate opinion here. From my conversations with our legal team, it seems they have been able to work with the support team at Concord to get any potential issues resolved in a timely manner.

    I would rather not compare apples and apples nor apples and oranges, and just share Concord has been an excellent Contract Management System for current organization.

    ChatGPT just did not have the breadth and depth of insight for my coding needs. To get an approximation of what I wanted I had to restate my prompt multiple times, and it looked almost like it did not learn from one time to the other.

    Return on Investment
    Concord Worldwide, Inc.
    • Since our implementation, I am saving a few hours a month in managing our IC contracts.
    • When people have questions about contracts, now it's clear "Hey, look in Concord" versus "Hey, does John or Sally have this contract?".

    • The ROI from converting our Installer app went from an initial estimate of 2 weeks to 3 days.
    • The testing of the finalized app, which had to communicate with an already existing app w, was difficult to implement and test.
    • Converting old scripts from a proprietary IDE was done instantly.
