    If a user has to perform a specific update over many records, don't use a List view... use Grid. It allows users to quickly track their work, set additional formatting preferences and avoid constantly tracking work outside of Salesforce which leads data discrepencies and errors.

    During the project development phase it becomes easier to visualize the code development in almost real time with charts and drop down and drag and drop features makes it really easy for the effective development process during different phases of the project. Dashboard itself is of great help with features like drag and drop and visualize the artifacts in real time as we are developing those. It wouldn't be very effective with high massive coding and huge coding projects as we may encounter performance issues.

    Pros
    Conga
    • A specific strength of Conga is the ability to easily produce cross-object displays where you can take information like open Opportunities and layer on information such as Activities, Orders, Opportunity Products with all related information being accessible when individual lines are selected. The reading pane functionality is a huge timesaver for reps working lists of records.
    • Another strength is Conga's ability to allow mass edit/update - for example, you can have a list of leads assigned to you, check the ones you met at a conference, and update a field on their record or assign a task or do an email send right from the list. At the same time, you can select other records, and do the mass update or mass create of tasks that are relevant for them.

    Conga
    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

    • It has benefited us positively, as I stated earlier- it allows us to filter down results of 65,000+ candidates to a search of 1-100 candidates.
