    Conga
    It is well suited to providing quick pricing recommendations, allowing those who are quoting to get our agreements out efficiently. Where I find there may be some limitations is around the details that it uses to establish recommendations and the overrides. For example it would be nice to have a way to set overrides for those criteria like length of agreement, etc. and have it apply across the board

    I have been using Folloze for a long time, and I will recommend Folloze because of the app's user-friendly interface and responsiveness to customer feedback. It also enhances security with SSO, two-factor authentication, and a personalization tool. Overall, there are more pros, and it increases productivity.

    Pros
    Conga
    • The perceived power strength is that it is supposed to contain CPQ, Contract Management, Document generation and template manipulation, and cash/invoice process all in one wrapped package.
    • It was developed on the Force.com platform.
    • They provide multiple releases of their product per year.

    • Plug into Salesforce. We live in Salesforce, so it's a must!
    • Ease of use when designing boards. We love to all feel like graphic designers.
    • Dashboards showing activity levels of all types.
    • Storing assets within folloze. Makes it super easy to build a board fast.
    • Cloning boards. Time saver!!

    Cons
    Conga
    • Our number one complaint with Conga CPQ has been speed. In my experience, Conga CPQ is extremely slow, especially for large orders.
    • In my opinion, the configuration methods of Conga CPQ are outdated and error-prone. One literally puts configurations into string-based custom settings, including the API field names. This often leads to deployment issues and run-time configuration errors.
    • In my experience, Conga CPQ is everything but simple to develop. You need things like a 12-step pricing callback to support custom pricing.
    • In my experience, Conga CPQ support is not responsive.
    • When it comes time to lock in a renewal contract for Conga CPQ, in my experience, they delay engagement, so you are truly behind the 8 ball when it comes time to decide if you are going to continue with Conga CPQ.

    • Integrating the contact form with our CRM has been a lengthy and on-going process
    • We use iframe for some of our content pieces and I think it could look better than it does now
    • We need licenses for our salespeople for them to get access to insights of a board. An easier way to send them this info without them needing licenses would be nice

    The rating is based on several things: 1) Ongoing support requirements being able to be addressed by cross training existing Salesforce administrators 2) Apttus superior corporate vision for the quote to cash space 3) Apttus execution of the corporate vision with automated agents (Max), and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning offerings to leverage the investment in Configure Price Quote 4) Apttus corporate health and investment in the product line

    Usability
    Conga
    Conga CPQ is a great tool but lacks good support and [a] very limited knowledge base which doesn't include day to day errors which users face, thus leading us to support and take more time in turn. Also cart performance can be improved drastically which will enhance the user experience as the user doesn't have to wait for the pricing.

    Its great to be able to customize and build experiences without having to depend web developers or larger content teams. Using Folloze doesn't require a web developer or complicated coding language. Its quite intuitive and easy to figure out after building an experience or two. If you are stuck their support and training materials are quite helpful, as is their support team. Although the tool is great, it would be great to see even more customization possibilities. Also the reporting interface is pretty cumbersome and would benefit from added functionality.

    Tier1/tier 2 support can only handle native functionality. Customizations have to be escalated to developers which aren’t included in the support program.

    I go ahead and copy the people I directly worked with on implementation for assistance. I would rate them an 8 for support assistance.

    Great support overall, which is quick to answer any concerns or questions. They're punctual and precise with their responses. I've been very pleased overall. I know if I have a concern or worry that I'll get a response the same day or the day after. Nothing negative comes to mind.

    We attended 5 hours worth of webinars early on.

    We had to understand how objects worked to figure out how to structure our data.

    I would have liked more in-depth training but it would have been an additional cost

    Be iterative. Take the opportunity to build a catalog based on how Apttus works well. Learn the tool yourself or use an SI. Take the time to build a configuration / pricing migration tool with X-Author for Excel or roll your own. Stick with OOTB Apttus as any customization will cost you every time a new version is released

    We selected Apttus CPQ over SteelBrick due to the simplicity of SteelBrick's out of the box pricing and ability to customize quoted products. As a global organization with selling a highly configurable products, we felt the ability of Apttus to handle our requirements as standard functionalty rather than a customization was a material difference between the platforms.

    Folloze has proven to absolutely stand head and shoulders above its competitors. Folloze actually integrates nicely with 6Sense or Demandbase to pull data from a CRM. Folloze seemed to have a simpler interface, and that was key when it came to enabling our sales org to use Folloze alongside Marketing.

    Return on Investment
    Conga
    • The ability to generate engineered configurations that is right by construction has reduced the cycle time of the customer engagement. The fact that we are able to guide the process and end up with a validated bill of material reduces the iterations with the customers.
    • As long as the validations rules are correct the generated bill of material is accurate. We are now looking at using Apttus to perform quality checks in our product rules since the tool is able to test different configurations quickly and efficiently.
    • Configuration that use to take weeks and consumed valuable engineering resources has been transformed to become a customer facing application that is simple enough for customer to self-service.
