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 …
Hubdoc
Chose Hubdoc
We find Hubdoc to be much easier. It has very good AI even remembering which CC has been used prior for particular receipts.
Chose Hubdoc
Have only used Freshbooks otherwise, not comparable
Chose Hubdoc
We did not get far into evaluating other solutions we were looking at because Hubdoc came highly recommended from peers, coupled with Xero and Gusto. The cost for Thompson-Reuters is high. We quickly honed in on Hubdoc due to cost and recommendation and are very glad that we …
Chose Hubdoc
Receipt Bank essentially does the same thing as Hubdoc but while we were evaluating both products we found Receipt Banks data extraction a lot slower (sometimes 24-48hrs) compared to Hubdoc which was in minutes. Also, Hubdoc had a large library of direct feeds which was a plus …
Chose Hubdoc
I have tried other competing software that offers similar benefits and I have been very disappointed. Other software in this space charge more, promise more and offer benefits that do not deliver. Hubdoc is definitely not the biggest voice on this block, but they are …
Chose Hubdoc
QBO and Bill.com do not have a mobile interface dedicated to uploading receipts from employees. The Hubdoc interface is more intuitive and has a better flow than Bill.com.
Chose Hubdoc
I don't have hands-on experience with any of the other software I mentioned. I have done a good deal of research with them, but did not find any particularly compelling reasons why they were better. The real reason I selected Hubdoc was because they offered a free, …
Chose Hubdoc
I had been using bill.com for paying bills, for storing invoices and receipts, and for recording credit card payments. We did this to digitize all receipts for a business and get the accounting done at the same time. But bill.com has a number of quirks, including a long sync …
Chose Hubdoc
Receipt Bank is similar, but does not retrieve documents, it focuses on collecting documents that are submitted by the clients (which Hubdoc also does). Receipt Bank's platform for CPAs is significantly more advanced and robust (Hubdoc's is basically non-existent), but the most …

I don't have any knowledge on the app.

Conga ComposerHubdoc
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.

When I am out purchasing items for my business I can quickly take photos of receipts and upload via the app and not have to worry if I lose or damage a receipt. This is very handy for me. Hubdoc also allows me to get all my invoices, payments and statements to my bookkeeper very easily which saves me money and time. I only use Hubdoc for business purposes which is where I feel it is most suitable. I probably wouldn't use it for personal stuff as I don't track personal that strictly.

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.

  • Extracts data from documents both from a feed and a scan really quick.
  • Availability of automated feeds directly from the supplier.
  • Integration with accounting software e.g. Xero (now owned by them) and QBO.
  • Ability to auto-archive to many different cloud storage locations such as Google Drive and ShareFile.

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
Read full review
  • Although it is great that they can automatically get bank statements and transactions once linked, these links have been very unreliable historically.
  • Figuring out how to set up the automatic feed is cumbersome. You can land up being inundated with useless transaction data.
  • you have to upload each document separately. The program cannot differentiate/split PDFs.

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.

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

I think this is one of the easiest apps to use on both mobile and desktop. Once it was all set up by my bookkeeper all I needed to do was upload things. I recall the set up being quite simple and we've only made a few small changes over the years.

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

At the time we implemented Hubdoc (more than 2 years ago) it was quite cutting edge and did have strong advances from the competition plus its pricing was definitely more competitive (flat rate vs price per data extraction model). However, currently the competition has caught up and now many of Hubdoc's core features are being built into online accounting software natively.

It was painful internally to build out all of the templates, but the actual implementation of the product was okay.

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.
