Conga Composer vs. PandaDoc

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.

Best suited for after demonstrations when requested by the prospect when they are looking for pricing with T&C. The data room is also great that acts like a drop box for opportunities and their contacts. Helps share pertinent information with others in the organization.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Allows clients to remotely execute documents.
• Tracks the progress of document execution.
• Emails clients to remind them to sign documents so we don't have to follow up.
• Emails us when documents have been fully executed.
• Provides an easy-to use interface to place signatures, dates, and other information on our forms.

• 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

Incentivized

• I would like to see the ability to LOCK a field instead of locking an entire block or document.
• I would like to see more standard features that need to be part of the service instead of add-ons.
• Would like to see an option to allow different levels of users than just the two standard options.

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.

We have been using it for a few years now and find it vital to getting our bids out quickly and accurately to our customers. We can get a request for information from a customer and once we have their basic parameters create a professional bid in minutes. It's actually usually harder to find out what the customer wants than to use PandaDoc and create a document with it

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

Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. There can be a slightly steep learning curve to get fully in on the system. The new editor v2 has really improved usability and allows us to collaborate on documents simultaneously. Once the templates and library items are set up, a new document, whether it be a sales or HR document, takes very little time to complete.

It was available, it just didn't always work depending on what glitches were happening within our app

We haven't had any real issues regarding downtime as of yet.

This product appears to work well. It was not a fit for us this time, but we would consider in future

As I mentioned earlier - performance is near perfect as I can create, send, adjust my documents. I love the tracking feature as well as I can tell when my documents have been seen and by whom. The only issue I have run into is with saving and formatting - occasionally the file document does not save with the newly assigned name or the content of the document does not stay formatted nicely.

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

Recently I could not upload a pdf to a contract - support was very responsive and easy to work with. They got back to me the next day with an apparent fix - however when I opened the document nothing had changed. I then could not respond to the rep who was helping me because it was a "no-reply address", the problem still has not been solved and we had to make alternate arrangements to get this to the client. Never had it happen before and was only with this one contract.

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

Incentivized

Implementation was before the time I was here at Riafox, however, support has been great in assisting to merge spaces and upgrade to 2.0 Editor.

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.

PandaDoc is a more polished, professional, and 'legitimate' software site than other solutions, since PandaDoc really specializes in creating professional proposals, quotes and invoices. The eSignature capacity and pricing table capacity embedded in the documents as well as fillable fields, pre-made, customizable and reusable templates also make PandaDoc stand out.

We used it for something simple and it was still a pain to use

I agree. We have created folders for multiple departments and have been successful with the usage.

• 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.

Incentivized

• We have greatly increased the efficiency in which we can get signatures from individuals for documents and increase productivity.
• We have been able to find older documents very easily.
• W-9 have been very difficult due to Section 3, but this was addressed with conditional logic
