    Our use case for Conga Sign is pretty straightforward. Because of this, there is not much about it that would be considered excessive or inappropriate. It suits our needs as a tool to record data provided by a signer. It can also be launched from inside Salesforce via a custom button for ease of use.

    Great for Technical Users. It's great for people a bit more on the technical side. It allows developers to quickly create and modify reporting templates without having to modify source code or make updates to a repository. Potentially Difficult for Non-Technical Users. Making substantial changes to the data portions of reporting can be a bit difficult for non-technical users. While Windward's tools for this are great, it still requires an understanding of the database schema which not all users will have.

    Pros
    Conga

    • The user has the option to forward to a relevant party where he might not be the correct person.
    • Reduces the turnaround was taking signatures from multiple stakeholders can be done digitally.

    • Native Office output -- not nested tables and/or horrible RTF like other tools generate.
    • Ease of use -- once the data sources are set up, creating tables is as simple as drag and drop (okay, maybe not exactly that simple, but you can certainly create a table of data using drag and drop, then format it and manipulate it as needed).
    • Responsive developers and support -- when I've had questions, they've been addressed VERY quickly and professionally.

    Cons
    Conga
    • Some businesses still don't consider digital signing of critical documents a legit way.
    • Conga sign still doesn't allow sending of multiple files for signing.
    • There is a slight rendering time we have noticed while the customer opens the document which can be reduced.

    • It is hard to pick out the tags if they are mixed in with a block of text.
    • Using report variables in select statements causes the selection list of available fields to not show anything.
    • The color themes do not match the office selection and it feels very disconnected.

    Usability
    Conga
    We're a relatively high-skilled team and we all find Conga Sign's user-friendliness very low for all user types. It should not take a highly skilled tech person to complete documents. Documents need to be user friendly for all user types.

    For the most part, the Windward report designer is intuitive for our users; but there are a few areas where it is less intuitive. In these cases, our users need to search Windwards support wiki site, or even contact their support technicians. This can also be due to the short time we've had Windward and our lack of knowledge.

    Support is something they take pride in. Once an issue is raised, they are quick to respond and provide details on a fix. No complaints on support here.

    Conga Sign is much more affordable than DocuSign for our organization and we are using Conga Composer already to create documents. We found that the integration between Conga Composer and Conga Sign was easier to use and we have a nice discount from Conga due to us adopting several of their products. DocuSign for the price point didn't make sense to us and it has less write-back functionality with Salesforce.

    We evaluated several other products to integrate with our new software, but Windward Studios was an obvious standout above the majority. Other applications required some level of software development knowledge and experience to create templates and a much steeper learning curve. After consideration of ease of use, as well as a cost-comparison between different products, Windward Studios was the most suitable product to meet our needs.

    Return on Investment
    Conga
    • We are growing our Strategic Partners and each requires a signed agreement, very essential to growing our business
    • We need to update our Plan Administration agreements and having automation for getting and tracking all of the signatures is vital
    • Conga Sign is good enough for all our use cases so we don't have to worry about using 3 or 4 solution platforms to gather signatures.
