Our proposal templates use Microsoft Excel, which Conga Composer is able to communicate with quite well. These documents have complex formulas so are not able to be created in a mircosoft program that doesn't support that. There are several limitations we've had to overcome, include how data gets pulled in and is read which caused us to have to use creative ways to implement those data pieces and still requires some manual template editing once the document has been created.

S-Docs would be great for anyone looking to make the process of getting signatures more seamless and less time intensive. You can get a signature in minutes no matter where the signee is located. No more having to worry about printing, scanning, and emailing over important and time-sensitive documents.

Cons
Conga
  • Initially, it is hard to comprehend as the setup process is a bit complex. More user adoption tools, such as tutorials and resources, would help.
  • Sometimes the error message is very generic and hard to troubleshoot.
  • Better UI would also be a plus.

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

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.

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.
