Conga Composer vs. Salesforce Mobile

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.

Being out from the office, [Salesforce Mobile (formerly Salesforce1 Mobile App)] is a supporting tool to bring all the information with you without having the need of bringing the laptop. As I said before, I am a sales manager and it is much more comfortable for me to use the mobile app instead of bringing a bag or something similar only for the laptop. However, it wouldn't make any sense to use it in the office as you can enter into Salesforce from your computer and have a better experience with the SF product as it is much more comfortable to use. At the end it has a much larger screen than a phone or a tablet and it has many more possibilities as a whole

• 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.

• Clicking an address deep-links directly into Google Maps, eliminating the need to copy-paste data between apps while driving.
• The app handles technical payroll jargon surprisingly well. I can dictate a meeting summary while walking back to my car, and it saves as a formatted note.
• Log calls and emails immediately after they happen.

• 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

• It's pretty complex to use and not very straightforward as to where everything is and how to access.
• Search function needs to be enhanced. Finding accounts in the desktop version is simple and accurate. With mobile, not so much.
• It should be more customizable to enhance features frequently used.

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 to have it !! We love the product and most of us use it everyday - many times daily !!

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

The mobile is usable for all the smaller tasks also from the developer we can make them create button from which we can trigger automations, the app is used for on the go updates to the crm. The log in process is simple, it also has offline capabilities which is a plus point.

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

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

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

I haven't had the need to contact support, but the online community has a VAST knowledge of support if you're in need. For instance, I needed to know how I could set the dashboard up to automatically refresh and the online community helped me within minutes.

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

It went great - need more discovery next time

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.

Salesforce Mobile is a more mature and tested entity than similar platforms like SNOW and Pega CRM, which don't even have a native mobile app. This can integrate easily with Salesforce orgs, the top CRM, and provide cool features like branding the app on app stores using the Mobile publisher feature.

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

• 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.

• I would say our company is more efficient, in the sense that we can access our client base from anywhere.
• Salesforce Mobile gave us one more tool in our tool belt, which is important in a small company.
• Salesforce Mobile has allowed us to be more reactive to client situations and provided greater ability to provide greater support.
