DocuSign CLM was not cost-effective for the client as the client was already using Conga Composer and Conga Sign so it doesn't make sense to go with other CLM than Conga. As it gives the perfect integrated solution with Conga Composer and Conga Sign. And it proves to be a …

Conga
With having all of our contracting through the Salesforce system, the ability to allow our legal teams to do more with generating documents, have controls over redlines, etc is ideal. When sales needs to make additional revisions to the underlying data, however, it can be lacking in strong tools.

DocuSign is useful for collecting electronic signatures on isolated documents and packets that are administered separately or integrated into another system. DocuSign is integrated into our onboarding system, Paylocity, which is where the employee completes all onboarding tasks required for employment. Integrating DocuSign with Paylocity allows us to send documents that require more than one signature along with other onboarding tasks, which makes for a less confusing onboarding experience for the worker. DocuSign also allows us to automatically run E-Verify from the integrated Form I-9 Document, which saves us lots of time onboarding each employee.

Cons
Conga
  • X-author for Word can be improved as it does not maintain a stable connection and the org gets disconnected frequently.
  • It does not support grandparent relationship for merge field population.
  • A separate package needs to be installed for the integration of CPQ and CLM tools from Conga.

  • Increase sending limit for initial plans
  • Faster return for client service requests
  • When correcting a document, no new email is sent for notification of an update. The clients have to go back to the old document, and it feels uncomfortable for them.

The current version is probably about a five. The new version, I have not used it a lot. I've only done some testing around in it, not a lot. I'd say it's probably a seven or eight.

DocuSign CLM has a much improved user experience compared to similar products we have used. The streamlining of templates and traceability through the signing process are huge benefits, and better than competitors. The ability to set up designated templates for different use-case scenarios, and roll out efficient documents for signing, is invaluable, as well as other functions like Bulk Send and PowerForms.

  • Positive - has helped us track renewals which allows us to get out of "bad" contracts or renew "good" ones.
  • Negative - we had hoped for it to help us determine which terms and conditions we have agreed to in other contracts. This has made contract review remain a lengthy process.
  • Positive - We are now able to find all of our contracts which has helped us get out of unnecessary contracts (which positively impacts finances).
