    Conga
    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.

    It's possible to save money, time, and paper with PDFLiner. In addition to
    those in the legal and scientific sectors, this includes those in accounting,
    human resources, and education. PDFLiner makes it simple to save your most
    frequently used templates. Upload them whenever you need them, make any
    necessary edits, and email them straight away!

    Pros
    Conga
    • One great feature of Conga Composer is the ability to create various document types, including Word files, PDFs, and even PowerPoint presentations.
    • The ability to encrypt and share data is quite impressive with Conga Composer.

    • Signing documents for myself and my employer has never been easier.
    • For me, the simplicity of not having to use sophisticated tools to customize forms for certain situations is appealing.
    • It's easy to use and doesn't necessitate a strong Internet connection to make use of this program.

    Cons
    Conga
    • 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

    • There is no mobile app for PDFLiner which I think is a major drawback of this tool.
    • Though the tool is straightforward we find it complex when we need to search for a specific form in it.
    • Editing text is fine with this tool but I think there is a limitation of styling the text when editing any document.

    Though I love how easily Conga Composer ties into Salesforce and its given analytics, it takes a lot of data entry to get up and running. I don't love that sometimes queries can take a long time to pull. I like keeping our marketing templates consistent via templates in the system. Pulling multiple objects into one report is fantastic too.

    Usability
    Conga
    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

    Our department uses PDFLiner to modify PDF format contracts and other documents before sending them to our consumers for e-signing. Not only that, but this program allows access to the templates of over 30 million different sorts of writable agreements, saving us a lot of time and effort.

    It's been hit and miss depending on the issue. We use javascript to generate the urls which has confused many techs even though it generates a clean url - they are overwhelmed by the concept of code and can't understand that the url is all that matters.

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

    I think Nintex is the primary competitor for Conga Composer, but I have not personally used it. I was not present for the decision to purchase Conga but I would recommend it in future document automation vendor selection processes because I have seen how well it works! We are especially fond of complementary features in Conga Composer, including Conga Email Templates and Conga Global Merge.

    Everyone in my department uses PDFLiner. Everything we need
    to get the work done is included in this team strategy. Allows us to streamline
    our operations and ensure that everyone is using the same tools. If I had to
    make a choice, I would go with this over more "advanced" options.

    Return on Investment
    Conga
    • Could really use better error handling on the product when the document doesn't generate. Zero notifications are provided right now and have no idea where in a 20 page template the error is. Need to keep cutting the template into pieces to find the error.
    • The report generates 90% of the time so far.
    • Getting easier to generate templates when knowing how the JSON will be structured to add to merged fields.
    • Use Work Plan Template Entries and Work Steps to dynamically generate many deliverables.

    • Your PDFs can be changed quickly and easily. You have the option to include signatures and images, as well as to censor any information you don't want others to see.
    • By being able to digitally sign your paperwork on the go, you may significantly speed up the closing process.
    • Using PDFLiner is a great and simple way to work with PDF files.
