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.

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.

Benchmarking is upcoming. Conga Composer was already implemented when I joined the company

Foxit PDF Editor meets all of our business needs in terms of a PDF editor software. The price for Adobe Acrobat Pro was cost-prohibitive.
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
In our case Cost was the deciding factor. We don't have a need for any advanced tools or features. Our use cases involve merging or splitting up documents, e-signatures and simple markups.
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom) is cheaper and easier to purchase and renew. It's layout is easier to navigate. They have used the same type of layout as Microsoft Office products so it is easier for Team Members to find what they need. It also has a few more features than …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
Foxit PDF Editor had the most tools that I frequently use and it had them right where I expected them. All of the others that I demoed either lacked tools I use often or were not nearly as intuitive to use.

Foxit PDF Editor is much more intuitive than Adobe and Apple Preview and some other PDF editors. The interface and UI are easier to manage and collaborate with, and export cleanly. It is also a good tool for more simple design projects. It's easier to merge multiple PDFs and …

Foxit comes with an offline solution that can be deployed across the company. The price is good, compared with Adobe but a bit less competitive than Kofax. The interface compared to other mentioned tools is easy to deal with and seems to be intuitive for the users who uses …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
I have used Adobe is the past, and it worked just fine. However, I felt that in order to complete the tasks I needed to, I was having to take 4-5 steps just to do one thing. With Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom), most of the issues I ran into with Adobe were one simple click …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
FoxitPhantom contains all the functionalities that you want from Adobe such as creating PDFs, editing PDFs, sharing PDFs, encrypting PDFs, and being a cheaper alternative. The user interface is very intuitive and matches up well with other common software like Microsoft Word …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
Foxit has its own use. Compared to Bluebeam, Foxit is a way more affordable option. Foxit is a great and affordable solution for most users. The program doesn’t quite stack up against Bluebeam as far as features go. But that’s also why Bluebeam costs $350 and Foxit only costs …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
Can't beat the cost and quality when compared to the more well known competitor software suites. Also much better than the random, not so well made and supported similar software out there. FoxitPhantom PDF is a solid tool to have on your computer, you will not be disappointed.
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
FoxitPhantom PDF does everything Adobe does and much quicker from the program opening to saving files.
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
FoxitPhantom PDF is a no-brainer when compared to Adobe Acrobat. It is extremely cheaper for virtually the same product. It has all of the features that I loved about Adobe Acrobat, but for a fraction of the price. I would say FoxitPhantom PDF isn't just competitive - it's the …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
We were looking at ways to help reduce our license costs, and that is what made us look into alternatives to Adobe Acrobat. The license costs about half of what we were spending for Adobe, so it was a straightforward choice for us to make. Aside from a learning curve associated …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
Our main reason to review Foxit was due to the many challenges that we incurred with Adobe conversions. Additionally, trying to get Adobe to answer our inquiries was trying at best. Foxit is simply better at what they do. Another nice benefit is that Foxit is a fraction of …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
Simpler to use, just as functional if not more so. Better, smoother integration. We went with it because of its wide functionality and client support. Overall, for the money, it is better and more reliable software.
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
FoxitPhantom PDF is a cheaper alternative to Adobe Acrobat. It can get the job done with basic PDF needs, but the user experience is not a slick as the Adobe products with the recent updates. Foxit was ultimately selected to reduce the costs for a basic PDF reader and editing …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
FoxitPhantom PDF has all the same basic features that Adobe Acrobat carries, except I have personally found the editing and annotating features to be superior with FoxitPhantom. Not to mention it feels like Adobe Acrobat comes with more bloated software, whereas FoxitPhantom …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
In my experience, Foxit Phantom PDF offers the exact same functions and abilities that Adobe Acrobat does. Our company chose Foxit because it was significantly less expensive.
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
I would say that when you want to get a bigger share of the market and take business from long time consolidated applications like Acrobat, you really need to try harder and give something more to the user to be able to change their mind and switch to Foxit.
In our case …
Chose Foxit PDF Editor
I have used Adobe pdf reader before I discovered FoxitPhantom PDF. Compared to Foxit Adobe have fewer features and a less appealing user interface.

Likelihood to Recommend
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.
Read full review
Great for marking up depositions or pleadings with highlights, comments, and notes during case review.
Supports Bates stamping, password protection, and other features often required for electronic filing.

Built-in tools allow for quick and secure redaction of privileged or confidential information before sharing or filing. Less appropriate if you needed to work on real time collaboration or building complex form templates from scratch.

Pros
  • 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.

  • FoxitPhantom carries superior editing tools over Adobe Acrobat and similar products. It allows you to modify text, images, & objects in a more robust fashion
  • Integrates well with Microsoft Office products such as Word, PPT, & Excel
  • Allows you to work in a nearly paperless environment

Cons
  • 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
  • I am sure I am only using about 3% of it's full potential

  • I have a dual monitor setup at work and there are times when I wish that I could view pdf documents on both monitors at the same time. I have not yet figured out how to do that with FoxitPhantom as it appears to limit the user to displaying multiple pdf documents as separate tabs on the same screen. If dual screen is an option in the software, it needs to be more apparent.
  • I can't think of any other desired improvements. This software really does everything that I need it to do.

Likelihood to Renew
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.

Because very few editors are so easy to use and deploy backed by speed and performance. Foxit PDF is known for its speed and performance, allowing users to open and work with PDF files quickly and efficiently
Foxit's user-friendly interface is easy to navigate and use, making it a popular choice for users who are new to PDF software.

Usability
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

Functionality and features it has as well as being quiet user friendly. It would be nice though if it wasn't laggy as often and had better page organizational tools. It often bogs down when this is being done or doesn't work properly when moving pages around and needed

FoxitPhantom PDF integrates very well with the Microsoft Office products, which is where I found I use this the most. It performs about as well as can be expected, without any out of place latency. Whether it be merging, deleting, editing or rearranging pages, its performance holds up even with larger documents.

Support Rating
As a conga parter we have created more than 50+ cases with conga support and many times we have got the answers on the chat support itself. A very effective knowledge base and conga university give you all the study material to enhance your product knowledge. Conga support has been very effective and has always responded quickly to questions and issues

I haven't personally had interaction with the customer support from FoxitPhantom, however based on conversations I have had with members in the organization, I was given positive feedback. Their website has a lot of information and tutorials. If you need to contact them, they are quick to respond. User manuals are readily available.

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.

1. In Kofax the functionality of the component is limited in that it cannot process
PDF files larger than 2 GB due to the technological constraints of
LeadTools. To process large PDF documents, it is advisable to use
compression as a workaround. 2. In Kofax the black and white images must be created with at least 200 dpi resolution for reading new item number barcodes as we deploy in our news room.

Return on Investment
  • We have been able to standardize our branding in documents to give them a more professional appearance.
  • The number of manual errors is significantly reduced, thereby improving our turnaround time by 30%.
  • Our overall working efficiency has improved by over 70% with the introduction of Conga Composer.

  • For a PDF software in a our company is difficult to translate the software performance into financial results. With a PDF software is a lot less obvious than an ERP of a Payroll System, but one advantage could be the savings that a lower cost of licensing would bring when it is used by a bigger number of users.
  • A positive impact is the ease of use when creating and filing new hired employees, but once again, it is hard to say that it is faster than a different PDF software and even if that was the case the savings in time would be probably unnoticeable. At least one would be having a process with no hassles when creating and saving your PDF documents for your employees.
  • So far no crashes. I have never heard a complain about Foxit crashing even when you have dozens of documents opened at the same time. We can't say the same when using other applications like Excel... This brings peace of mind and less frustrated users.
