Our business problems we were having at our organization were using excel to create the quotes, creating the POs, and creating detailed reports. Now using Conga, we are able to pull the data straight out of Salesforce and into an excel for further changes to be made. Or straight into a PDF so that no further changes can be made to the document. Once we create, either the excel or the PDF, it autosaves into that file and pulls open the file into the associated choice. Having a tool that is multi-functional to our business is key to its success and allows us to continue with an eased workflow.

Well known tool but desperately needs an overhaul
- Different document types like pdf, doc etc.
- Option to edit template in MS Word
- It is slow to generate document
- It is very complex to prepare data
- Administration is not straightforward, there are a lot of places where something needs to be configured
- Limited options for processing of data once it is retrieved from Salesforce
- Cumbersome formatting of tables and nested tables
- Limitations around table generation
- A lot of features are paid add-ons
Use it if you buy it together with Conga CLM (which has a different document generation tool). Otherwise, look elsewhere, there are better and faster alternatives

Conga Review

Conga apps are the best! Conga composer, Conga sign, Conga batch all together do magic!
- To generate the contracts documents if you use conga contracts.
- To generate any document like credit memo, royalty statements.
- Conga batch converts the button URL to formulate, send, or download statements in bulk.
- Could work very well with Docu sign and Adobe sign and one drive
- Increase the batch size of conga batch from 200.
- Make composer debug log more clear to make the issue resolve quickly.
- Some composer parameters are not available to add directly from the solution builder.
Great product for a great value! A bit hard to use
- Combines information
- Streamlines processes
- User friendly for regular consumers
- Tutorial videos on set up or creative work flows
Invoices wtih Conga Composer
- Ability to send invoices to Excel or directly to PDF
- Pulls data from a variety of objects - accounts, SIN, project, etc.
- Easy to update templates
- Bit of a learning curve to understand how to update invoices - does take programmer or database admin type knowledge
- It would be nice if bank account or our office locations could pull from the database so we could update these instead of every template

Conga Document Generation
- Integrates with our Database
- Allows for specific customization options
- Provides training and support with integration and use
- Easier to understand template building process
It Creatively Offers Next Generation Accessibility to your everyday document generation needs.
- Enables us to create fully customizable letter templates
- Integrates well with Salesforce
- Simple to use
- Takes a long while to load the templates.
- Template merge fields can be a little temperamental at times.
- Adding merge fields to templates could be made more user friendly.
- Pulls in data from various sources
- Allows for customized reports
- Functionality to export reports as well as save to records
- It is challenging to go from solutions to templates and then to each account record to generate - is there a way to generate for all?
- the search for reports is unwieldy - can there be a "recents" to cut down on what reports we are searching through? or a way to view folders.
- i have tried saving time by having conga composer up on several records and you can't generate records. again, if there is a way to generate for all?
- Document generation.
- Integration with DocuSign.
- Leverages and supports Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel features and capabilities to achieve the desired generated document outcome.
- Providing the tool or facility to make solutions and managing easy. Having the availability of Conga Composer Solution Manager is a big improvement - all the solution details and components in one view.
- Allow quotes in merged field values. We have a lot of cases the solution built with Conga doesn't work for particular records because of valid data with quotes supplied by the users.
- Support nested if conditional statement as currently, we are addressing this via creating a formula field in Salesforce and using this as a merged field. With this, we don't need to create the Salesforce formula field, as some objects might already be hitting a number of custom fields limit.
- To prompt with a specific and descriptive error message to clearly indicate what the issue is. Let's say the error can be due to a field value with a quote - indicate the affected field; operation canceled - be specific that the error is due to expected data not being available, etc.
For background, I am an Accidental Admin in Salesforce, which is to say I inherited this role after a personnel change so I have had to learn all of this on the fly. In addition to being easy to use, Conga provides great support and every problem that I have run into has been fixed quickly and I have been able to keep my users happy.
