Conga Composer vs. Salestools.io (discontinued)

We used to manually process information which are available in Salesforce to another system, right now we just click a button and these information is available in another system. This process eliminate human error and provide accurate information in our financial reporting. This process helps our accounting department provide efficiency and accuracy on providing data.

Salestools.io works perfectly for companies using a CRM or whatever other CRM software involving customer data. Also, Salestools.io is perfect to deal with the creation of an outreach campaign in an automatic way. You won't need to do follow-up yourself. However, it needs some training to work with it perfectly. In general is a great outbound sales tool.

• It is positive that Conga integrates with and is operated within SFDC
• Conga allows users to tag any document with dynamic fields that map to SFDC and send it out for signature
• Conga allows us to consistently produce quotes with the correct SKUs, Terms, & conditions at scale

Incentivized

• Generating new opportunities
• Automating our Sales process
• Accurate and up to date data!

• It is challenging to go from solutions to templates and then to each account record to generate - is there a way to generate for all?
• the search for reports is unwieldy - can there be a "recents" to cut down on what reports we are searching through? or a way to view folders.
• i have tried saving time by having conga composer up on several records and you can't generate records. again, if there is a way to generate for all?

Incentivized

• You can't have custom fields, so forget about having customized emails other than the basic Name, Title, Company.
• Salestools is plenty of super cool features, all (at least all the ones we used) are buggy and unusable in the end.
• Can't have blacklisted addresses and domains.
• Support will take days to respond, especially if you report a bug (it seems they will work extra hard to fix the bug, and then tell you that it didn't exist in the first place)
• Virtually every other feature has bugs.

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.

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

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

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.

We have been trying KLENTY mainly, however, the Prospector of Salestools.io is quite superior. For both cases, the preparation of campaigns are not as easy as it sounds, but as soon as you do the first, it will be easier for your business. Salestools.io has a better and easier interface and the webpage is superb. If you are looking just for follow-up, PLENTLY with doing, but if you need to find a prospect, Salestools.io is the service you need.

• Without Conga Composer we wouldn't be able to auto generate documents in Salesforce, the extra customisation is needed.
• The ROI is obvious when it comes to having customised documents
• As long as the data is available in Salesforce, it's available in Conga, and so we have no issues with it's efficiency

Incentivized

• ROI has been very high!
• Time saved
• Predictable pipeline, meaning i know what we can achieve next month!
