The centralized management and repository for contract housing and management of ContractZen helps make me more efficient. Reminders for contract expiration and quick download of all contracts for fast view is key to the desirability of the product. [ContractZen] has considerably cut down the amount of time needed to find key contracts when questions arise day to day.

We use ContractZen to manage the contracts with our clients. This ranges from the history of the accounts, contract expiration and renewals as well as the value of each contract. Prior to using ContractZen, this was all done in an Excel spreadsheet.
  • Contract renewal notification
  • Tracking history of contracts
  • Knowing key client personnel
  • I would like one view of entire client history.
  • It would be nice to put the client information in once and then simply add on contract extensions in the same folder.
This is a big step up from our use of an Excel spreadsheet to manage hundreds of clients. There is more functionality in the product than we are currently using. It would be useful to learn from others how they are using the tool as we might discover some improved efficiency that we haven't considered.

Like most organizations, we had several old, long-term contract, NDAs, proposals etc. stored on shared, protected network. This was unstructured data. Each time we wanted to know when a contract was ending, we had to open the contract. This led to us creating a spreadsheet. We thought there had to be a better way for us to get alerts when contracts are expiring and to store amendments to contracts in one spot. We reviewed several software and chose ContractZen. We migrated all of our contracts into ContractZen within a couple hours and are getting alerts as we desired. It's a cloud-based product, so no installation is needed. ContractZen is being used by Finance, IT and Legal staff right now and we are very pleased with it. ContractZen does full text search on PDFs and metadata we type in ContractZen, which makes searching for certain words a breeze.
  • Right features for SMB.
  • Affordable.
  • Easy to use.
  • Low maintenance as it is cloud-based.
  • No contract lifecycle management.
  • Governance may not be adequate for large organizations.
  • Sign-in with SSO or without SSO can be improved; it's a bit confusing for new users.
ContractZen is perfect for small and medium business where the use case is to manage contracts, get alerts, and track details about contract. ContractZen has other features such as meeting management, eSignatures etc. We focus primarily on contract management and are pleased with it. ContractZen has a lot of competition and many competitors have a full contract lifecycle, which is desirable in large companies.

ContractZen does not have a full contract lifecycle process. Full contract lifecycle will have request for comments/proposals, NDA, quotes, implementation proposals etc. go through multiple people, multiple layers of approval etc. and different triggers in the contract would generate different tasks for staff to manage the contract till the contract expires. Large and complex companies have needs that ContractZen may not be suitable for.

  • Efficiency of contract management improved.
  • ContractZen reduced fear of contract management system.
  • We are adequately prepared way ahead of contract expiration time.
The barrier of entry with ContractZen was so low. Competition offered a paid proof-of-concept, multiple sales call, and pre-sales analysis for which we had no time and had low interest. ContractZen gave us a demo in 30 minutes, gave me an account and walked me through the product. The cost was significantly lower. Yes, features were fewer in ContractZen but the features were the right ones we needed. Security of the system was adequate and it was cloud-based, which meant we didn't have to maintain servers on premise. Onboarding was easy and describing the system to others to get buy-in was exceptionally easy.
ContractZen's web application is really simple to use. All the information is labeled correctly and logically placed so you can find information faster. ContractZen has not focused on fanciness. They focused on usability. Uploading of documents is drag-and-drop. Entering information is simple. Searching happens through Omnibar and advanced searching can happen with filters.
The best part about ContractZen is that I needed no support. I had a couple questions in the last 2 years which were answered accurately within hours. Everything has worked as expected.

I found ContractZen extremely useful and handy in managing all documentation in relation to my property investment activities. Bids and agreements are always one click away and easy to distribute between parties. ContractZen has both a mobile and desktop version, this is very important from a user experience point of view.
  • Intuitive and easy to use.
  • Good metadata structure.
  • Also has a desktop (browser) version.
  • Sharing and collaborative working with documents is one of the handiest I've seen in comparable systems.
  • ContractZen is almost as good as heavy duty doc management system, it can be mistaken to be one.
  • Admin interface [not intuitive] - needs some practice.
  • Sharing and working with documents added with e-signature functionality is very good and easy to use.
  • If one is looking for departmental doc mgmt/project room system only - go for something else.
  • I have saved 50% of my time when managing and sharing bids and agreements.
  • I'll never miss a contract end date - ContractZen has already saved 15% of my total annual contract value.
ContractZen is true value for the money and far more simpler than more advanced systems
