    CPQ is more customizable and native to Salesforce, but it's extremely difficult to set up and maintain. The Conga Composer configuration is much simpler and quicker to implement.

    Conga was always the standard when first evaluating, it has the track record over others and was most used and felt it would handle our needs.

    Adobe Sign is good for document creation, but is obviously far more limited in terms of what it can pull in terms of formatting and data. It is particularly janky when using Word documents and needs to use PDFs to get the maximum out of it.

    CPQ is a more inline, integrated and user-friendly product compared to Apttus's offering. The fact that it was bought and embedded by Salesforce into the platform and the support that entails, was the big differentiator for us.

    Apptus is pretty much the only other CPQ product on the market worth considering. Until Steelbrick came onto the market, it was the market leader in CPQ for Salesforce. Steelbrick has seen investment from Salesforce and it is a 100% native product. It's quite the competitor to …

    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.

    What I like best is the ease of use to be able to track all opportunities and quotes in my daily sales tracker I also like the fact that you can reorganize the view for your opportunities. For instance, it is very similar to a spreadsheet where you can filter them by date, dollar amount, name, and several other ways. I found this to be less appropriate when we have to do multiple roles while assigning one task to multiple users. Column resizing within the Quote Line Editor is not supported in the Salesforce mobile app.

    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.
    • The integration, especially with different email providers, is quite good with Conga Composer.

    • It does a lot of pricing models really well. So like tiered pricing when you're selling a product has tiered pricing.
    • The out of the box approval functionalities is really good. It can trigger approvals based on a ton of different custom criteria.
    • The data it creates and tracks is really accurate and robust.

    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

    • Our Salesforce is very messy, which tells me it's not super easy to clean up.
    • I always have a really hard time removing a contacts from an account - it seems like you can't simply remove the relationship so we have lots of people named DO NOT CONTACT or things of that nature.
    • Sometimes when saving it doesn't seem like things actually save.

    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

    Because it looked almost impossible to integrate it with Zoho CRM while our Sales Operations team was working on it. But thankfully it worked at last but at the expense of a month's time. However, it has made every possible Revenue operations task simpler now. And that has ultimately made our team more efficient in terms of work hours spent on manual work.

    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.

    There have been some issues with multi-year pricing of certain products and services which we have been assured will be resolved but I guess are still underway, the support team apart from this has not been needed much and in the rare scenarios, it has been needed the resolutions of conflicts has been prompt and quick, so the overall support would have my high regards for being so helpful and customer-oriented so as to assure good performance of their toolset and customer satisfaction.

    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.

    There is no comparison to a fully functional instance of CPQ. Nothing comes close due to the amount of customization and ease of use that CPQ offers once it's fully built out. Other solutions may be easier to build or administer, but for the users and business needs, CPQ is the best solution possible.

    • 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.

    • Easy access to reporting on closed-won, closed-lost, and open quotes.
    • Accuracy in data referenced in a quote - it's typically accurate as it is pulled directly from opportunity, looking up to associated subscription start/end dates, etc..
    • We lose valuable time in creating quotes ourselves. Quotes were requested and created through sales ops previously, sales did not have access to the excel templates used to generate quotes.
