Overall Satisfaction with Conga Composer

We use Conga for our Contract Lifecycle Management - from generating an order form, sending contracts for signature, approving red-lines, and everything else involved in contracts.
  • It is positive that Conga integrates with and is operated within SFDC
  • Conga allows users to tag any document with dynamic fields that map to SFDC and send it out for signature
  • Conga allows us to consistently produce quotes with the correct SKUs, Terms, & conditions at scale
  • Conga Composer's base contract does not come with Support; so when you run into a product issue, you are stuck
  • In my experience, Conga often takes a long time to complete user actions like generating a quote e.g. they sometimes click 'Generate Quote' and then have to wait a couple of minutes before they can move on to the next step
  • In my opinion, it's not intuitive how to manage Conga as an admin - it's not clear how to provision licenses or deactivate users
  • Unfortunately after a year of licensing this product, we have not experienced a positive impact from Conga Composer
  • In my experience, Conga Composer slows down our Sales team - instead of manually creating an order form (quickly), they spend much more time trying to get Conga to generate the order form and continuously run into blockers that prevent them from building a standard quote
  • Conga has caused internal friction because in order to use it correctly, it involves cooperation across several functions
It can produce this result - but only after a 'perfect' set-up/configuration, which cannot be easily adjusted as situations change.
Unfortunately the vast majority of our documents are still being created manually because we have not been able to make Conga work for our organizations needs.

No

No

Did Conga Composer live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Conga Composer go as expected?

No

Would you buy Conga Composer again?

No

We ended up in an expensive multi-year contract without Support included which has rendered the product useless - it is not a simply-to-use, self-service platform
