Considered Both Products
Conga Composer
Chose Conga Composer
NA - We did not evaluate other programs like Conga.
Chose Conga Composer
DocuSign and Formstack for Salesforce
Chose Conga Composer
Firstly, we used Conga Composer to generate documents and DocuSign as the e-signature tool. However, Conga Sign proved to be much more cost-effective for our user base, as users didn’t need to switch to another system like DocuSign to send contracts to customers. With both …
Chose Conga Composer
Yeah, Conga is something that the client has selected. We asked them the same question — they believe they’re a long-time user of Conga and they have trust in that product. So that’s the reason.
Chose Conga Composer
Only reason was its integration with salesforce. In those apps, we had to manually copy paste the data to generate document and get signed but with conga composer’s salesforce integration, it fetches all the data from salesforce and generate the document for us and once …
Chose Conga Composer
We have used PandaDoc and with our personal experience, we can say that Composer is way better as it lets us pull data from multiple Salesforce objects, apply conditional logic, and generate highly customized documents.
Chose Conga Composer
Conga Composer helps us in document generation part and once the document has been generated from Conga Composer it can be sent out to the customers. Here we can also use Conga Email Template to send out the message and the attachments. Docusign here works so well and we can …
Chose Conga Composer
S-Docs is also great with Salesforce; however, it offers broader integration, scalable automation, and a deeper support ecosystem. Conga Composer delivers more powerful and flexible document generation.
Chose Conga Composer
I've used PandaDoc before; it is nowhere near as good as Conga Composer in terms of usability and end-user experience. Conga is much more valuable and business-oriented.
Chose Conga Composer
Can have more control with Aspose by using more code to dynamically generate the document to your exact needs.
Chose Conga Composer
Easily the best In the market. Still needs massive improvements in my opinion. Alot of use cases look legacy today!
Chose Conga Composer
Conga Composer works well with Conga Grid.
Chose Conga Composer
Better pricing and better functionality.
Chose Conga Composer
IDK - I really don't have a comparison to give
Chose Conga Composer
No other tools that are comparable.
Chose Conga Composer
We used the out of the box salesforce functionality but realized when our order forms used multiple currencies and had some customization we realized we needed a tool like Conga Composer
Chose Conga Composer
We did not try any other products with our Salesforce instance.
Chose Conga Composer
Benchmarking is upcoming. Conga Composer was already implemented when I joined the company
Chose Conga Composer
We used Microsoft Excel to manipulate all the data from different objects, now we can click a button and the report is generated, Excel provides a powerful tool, but Conga Composer is better than Excel to generate the data in the format that the customer wants, you don't need …

Chose airSlate SignNow
In addition to SignNow, I've seen or used DocuSign, Adobe Sign, and DropBox. DocuSign is the most famous, but I found it a bit complicated to use at first. Adobe Sign is also good, but I felt it was more "heavy", with more stuff than we really need. I found Drobox to be very …
Chose airSlate SignNow
The price was a big decision on choosing airSlate SignNow. airSlate SignNow was simple to setup.
Chose airSlate SignNow
We were a former user of DocuSign. We decided to switch, mainly due to DocuSign being a prohibitively high price and SignNow offer very similar features for a more affordable price.
Chose airSlate SignNow
I chose airSlate SignNow over DocuSign due to its user-friendly interface, cost-effectiveness, and swift implementation. SignNow's intuitive design simplifies the e-signature process, ensuring a seamless experience. Additionally, its competitive pricing model aligns with my …
Chose airSlate SignNow
I chose airSlate SignNow over DocuSign primarily due to the superior ease of use and a more intuitive user interface (UI). airSlate SignNow's UI stood out with its simplicity and well-thought-out design, making the entire process of signing and managing documents much more …
Chose airSlate SignNow
SignNow is more user-friendly and inviting. The platform is also cleaner and clearer and easier to understand. At the time that we made the switch to SignNow, it provided more functionality and the ability to have a more personalized experience when using the product than …
Chose airSlate SignNow
I chose SignNow because of the direct signing link available - I could not find other signature software that had that feature.
Chose airSlate SignNow
We looked at several different offerings such as HelloSign and DocuSign, but SignNow offered the same basic options for a lot less money. It was easy to implement and very user friendly. We didn't need a lot of bells and whistles which the other guys offered which honestly just …
Chose airSlate SignNow
Docusign was robust and great, but was expensive.
Chose airSlate SignNow
SignNow doesn't offer 3 x free documents to be signed monthly, and requires a subscription vs a pay-per-use, which is where Secured Signing shines. Secured Signing also has video verification and additional security measures that SignNow doesn't have. However, I find SignNow to …
Chose airSlate SignNow
The most cost-effective platform for our size and needs. Some had barriers such as needing to download an application or not a household name, and thus, needed some more "pointing out" and following up with. SignNow also has a great, Incognito Alerts setting where you can …
Chose airSlate SignNow
DocuSign has better integration with other programs but sign now is less expensive and better for our bottom line.
Chose airSlate SignNow
Have stuck with SignNow over the last few years for the price and covering of basic functionality. Does what it needs to do on a daily basis. DocuSign is super pricey (they charge on a cost per send model, which baffles me). SignNow is unlimited. HelloSign was also a good cheap …
Chose airSlate SignNow
I have only used the Adobe program a couple of times, but it seemed like it was harder to use. I might give it another chance at some point in the future, but right now, it feels a little bit like it is new and isn't quite ready for prime-time.
Chose airSlate SignNow
I am not the one who investigates or decides on the programs.
Chose airSlate SignNow
It comes at about half the cost and has all the same features, so SignNow was an obvious choice.
Chose airSlate SignNow
SignNow was the cheapest option at the time, so the decision to use it was driven by the cost alone, given the feature parity.
Chose airSlate SignNow
The biggest difference between DocuSign and SignNow is the price! SignNow is so very affordable as compared to DocuSign which was the initial draw. I do not have any loyalty to another software just because it may be popular or widely used by others, I'm looking for a …
Chose airSlate SignNow
I currently use eSign Genie because it offers per use pricing options. However, I find the interface to be more confusing. It is more confusing for me and more confusing for the recipient signing documents.
Chose airSlate SignNow
DocuSign has benefits as well but the pricing is prohibitive for what I need on a day to day basis. SignNow gets the job done at a price I can afford. Its value proposition is good and I have very few issues with it.
Chose airSlate SignNow
We were comparing the two and in the end, we liked the ability to use the kiosk mode provided by SignNow and the pricing structure seemed more reasonable.
Chose airSlate SignNow
I liked EchoSign when I had signed up. I moved to SignNow (which was CudaSign when I signed up) and paid a lot less. It was inexpensive enough at the time where I could overlook the bad design since AdobeSign (then EchoSign) had a great interface. Fields were easier top place …
Chose airSlate SignNow
When compared to Docusign, I find that SignNow does as well of a job. I have used both software and have never had any issues with either. I have no problem recommending one or the other to friends or family. Both are great products and I will continue to use either when …
Chose airSlate SignNow
When reviewing programs for use I found for the price and ease of use SignNow was by far the best choice. I used the trial period for both products and involved persons of all levels and at the end of the day found that SignNow was the right choice for our business use.

Likelihood to Recommend
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.
Read full review
SignNow is particularly useful for simple documents, forms and contracts where there the fields are pretty standards- names, signature block, title. It would be helpful to have features that allow substitution of certain fill in the blanks such that allow you to use the same template but first have a dialog to integrate language for a person, corporation, partnership or LLP. I'm a lawyer and having the ability to assemble variation of this nature into one template would be helpful. Also (and it may do this) the ability to change the actual form/document within the a template would be useful.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Provides a platform that is easy to create a document with a digital signature.
  • Provides a platform that is easy to access for people who are signing digitally.
  • The platform is easy for me to see who has or hasn't signed documents I've sent.

Cons
  • 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
Read full review
  • When using shared templates, the option to rename the document is at the bottom of the signatures page. I would like that to be visible sooner as some of my team misses it and sends documents to clients with the templated name instead of the correct name because they forgot to scroll down far enough to see it.
  • CC'ed contacts used to show suggestions as you typed the email if you've sent that person a document before, but that functionality no longer shows on our account. I'd like to see that brought back.
  • It would be nice if we could add folders to our documents page so that we could sort sent and signed documents into individual client folders. The search feature works fine, but folders would help clean up the view for my team.

Likelihood to Renew
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 love SignNow. SignNow has allowed our business to function more efficiently and effectively. It has also allowed us to streamline our onboarding process and allow us to have everything electronic and use less paper. We are also able to reach and hire people all over the world. Employees and candidates are able to access and sign important and time sensitive documents quickly. The system is user friendly and straightforward.

Usability
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

I gave it a 9 because the system is very easy to use, even for those who are not very familiar with digital signatures. It is all very intuitive, you can send, sign and track documents without any complications. I only didn't give it a 10 because sometimes it gets stuck when the file is large (very rare but it happens) or there are a lot of people to sign, and then you have to keep resending it and also, as I mentioned, the dedicated support would be interesting in case of emergency. Dei 9 porque o sistema é bem fácil de usar, mesmo pra quem não é muito familiarizado com essas coisas de assinatura digital. É tudo bem intuitivo, dá pra enviar, assinar e acompanhar os docs sem complicação. Só não dei 10 porque às vezes ele dá umas travadas quando o arquivo é pesado (muito dificil mais acontece) ou tem muita gente pra assinar, e aí precisa ficar reenviando e também como comentei do suporte dedicado que seria interessante em caso de urgência

Reliability and Availability
It was available, it just didn't always work depending on what glitches were happening within our app
Read full review
SignNow is always available when I need it. It seems that most updates occur outside of business hours so I have full functionality when I need it most between the hours of 8am-6pm EST. There has only been I time when I experience application errors when I need to use the system but it did not last long and the issue was resolved within a few hours.

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 only used SignNow support when setting up. I uploaded a bunch of documents in the wrong place and needed assistance in moving them. Unfortunately they were not able to move the documents and I needed to upload into a different place. This is where I feel the system itself could benefit from some flexibility for their customers.

It was nice to be shown the basics of the system and be able to see or understand the specific functions our company would need to use, such as the template creation, document grouping and document group templates. Being taught on how to use these functions, made learning them much easier.

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

Make sure you know exactly what you need before implementation and be sure to ask how to use the most important functions of the system that you will be using.

Alternatives Considered
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.
