CLM is best suited for Medium to Large size corporations, in my opinion. Organizations need to be informed in order to be successful; they must have a team prepared to own and manage the CLM tool once implementation is complete. Great for B2B and B2C. Highly recommend it to those in question about purchasing for their organization.

One of the things I appreciate about Gatekeeper, is that all of the documents are housed in one place. I no longer have to chase department people down for contracts. Having all the terms of the contracts entered into the system helps with keeping track of each of the contracts, and having the ability to monitor them in one place. Coming from a place where there was no system in place, it was a given that auto-renewals would happen regularly. Our Accounting Dept. has also benefited greatly using Gatekeeper. Before, they would have to rely on other departments to get the contracts and terms, which would create a backlog for them, especially if they didn't get it in time before the invoices from the vendors started to come in. Gatekeeper isn't a tool that is specific to one team/department, Gatekeeper can assist everyone that needs to access contract terms/information

Pros
Conga
  • You don't have to worry about different clauses. You can just create them and bundle them based on your Contract.
  • Conga contracts come with great redline and true-up features which makes the negotiation process way easy.
  • You can integrate it with Conga composer to generate the Contract document and also can integrate it with Conga sign to send the generated contract for signature.

  • Customer service/support, they're always responsive and eager to jump on calls whenever we need their support. They've never once treated us as "paid invoice" and moved on. They build relationships there at Gatekeeper.
  • They're innovative, improving on their product, when it is already a fantastic resource tool.
  • They have the ability to customize features to fit your needs, that was one feature important to us.

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.

  • This might be more of a personal thing to me, rather than an issue for anyone else, but when I'm working on a specific vendor, with multiple contracts, I have to click the back arrow to get back out to the other contracts within that vendor. It would be helpful to have a feature that you could click on to take you back to that vendor where the other contracts are kept.

Simple and easy to use for the legal team to creates contracts in Salesforce and with the help of conga contract attaches the different clauses through the bundle and sends them for negotiation and for signature. This is the primary work they do from Conga contracts. We had solution which is build using conga contracts, conga composer and conga sign

Very very difficult to get support. The support team is great for simple, general questions. If we ran into anything complex, we usually would figure it out before they could help us. We often were bounced around from rep to rep

Return on Investment
Conga
  • We really never saw a great ROI. We installed and then were left alone for many years despite many calls for help.
  • We were able to get out of a spreadsheet.
  • We did have an approval flow that allowed us to view where in the process each contract was, but the approval flow was also very difficult to manage and was not able to handle complex approval flows.

Gatekeeper
  • Since using Gatekeeper we have a better understanding of what contracts we have, and with the customized Workflow they created for us, the contracts flow through the Pipeline based on our DOA. It's a smooth process from the start of redlining and finalizing to finishing it up with Gatekeepers digital e-signature feature.
  • Contracts are not flying all over the place with no structure.
