Conga Grid vs GridBuddy

Likelihood to Recommend

CongaGrid is well suited to any data hygiene application as you can review, filter, select and apply changes across multiple fields. It is also well suited to any process where a user wishes to view data, then take action on one or multiple records within the list. It alleviates the need to set up custom report types, as cross-object filtering and reporting can be done through CongaGrid. Anything that you might wish to do using a spreadsheet with macros & cell or row or column formatting can be done in Salesforce using CongaGrid. For simple analysis of data, Salesforce reports and dashboards are usually more effective with abilities to chart data.

1. Making broad changes to data, like moving ownership of records from one user to another for a new Sales Rep or a moved Sales Rep.2. Making broad changes to data for product changes, product introductions and such (product naming changes, product description changes, etc.).I recently had to make a change to the name of a Product Option. Product Options are a sub-object related to Product. This name change was in 22 places. Okay, 18 [is] not a lot, but to make this change individually 22 times is still very tedious and takes too much of my time. Instead, I set up my Grid with the Object and sub-Object and made all 22 changes at once with a mass change. Piece of cake. And I don't have to go back to several of the records to see if the change was made successfully (something you have to do with Dataloader). I could see the effective change all at once on my Grid screen.

GridBuddy seems to be a real solid solution for us. And although it's likely not suited to everyone, those who do a high volume of customer interaction will likely prefer the GridBuddy front end over the traditional page by page based Salesforce front end.

Conga Grid 9.0

Based on 1 answer

In general, Conga is a strong company with a depth of talent in its support team. However, when new releases occur, the changes can be somewhat jarring to users as the interface does not offer the ability to hide or show messages related to the changes - all users get the same messaging from Conga around changes to their tool.

I've only used Salesforce before and am now using Conga ActionGrid. Although Salesforce is great, it is only used to log candidate information and then log actions that have been performed. With Conga ActionGrid, we are able to log more specific details about candidates, activities and follow up items. Conga ActionGrid provides more tools that would benefit many departments

I was not part of the original purchasing team that made the choice to use GridBuddy. Based on what we've done, I am pleased to continue using GridBuddy above any similar competitor.

Our sales executives save a lot of time reviewing all opportunities in a single editable view.
Gridbuddy improves the functionality of our CRM by allowing us to edit multiple opportunities in one place.
It is generally faster and easier to build a report in GridBuddy than it is in SAP C4C.
