Overall Satisfaction with ContractWorks

We're using ContractWorks to centralize, organize and increase visibility on our supplier contracts. Previously, contracts were housed with various departments. Centralization allows us to see when one supplier provides multiple services across the Enterprise. Tagging Templates allow us to easily create alerts for term and language updates, as well as run reports for specific Ts & Cs.
  • The product allows you to grow into the features and price points. No additional charges for implementation support. We started with one department, then shared our positive experiences with other departments to gain wider acceptance.
  • Stellar customer support! Great variety with video, email, and phone assistance. Product training and tutorials are also readily available for self-service. The short (live or on-demand) webinars are quick, to the point, and very helpful to continually learn how to better use ContractWorks.
  • The flexible folder structure is super easy to set up and match needs for each department. Easy to navigate and drag & drop to load documents.
  • ContractWorks account managers listen to customers and the organization responds with new and improved features.
  • ContractWorks continues to improve upon and expand platform capabilities
  • Bulk sending contracts/documents for annual updates and eSignatures
  • I haven't gotten the hang of creating Reports. It's still mostly trial and error for me.
  • Able to access contracts without challenges when staff changes
  • Milestone alerts allow us to be proactive rather than reactive for renewals
  • Better document version control to keep all Ts & Cs up to date.
  • Ability to 'match' or identify related documents
ContractWorks let us start small with a small investment, then scale up as our organization engages in the tool. Agiloft prep and implementation would have been complex, time consuming and costly. This allowed us to save on costs in the early months and prove the value of ContractWorks at a lower cost. Only as our organization uses the platform more, do we incur additional, associated costs.

Easy to learn and use. Flexible and uncomplicated. Hits on all critical Contract Management points.
Support is always quick, and accessible by various methods: eBooks, videos, telephone, emails. Frequent live short webinars are very helpful. Everyone is helpful and will get you a prompt answer.

Evaluating ContractWorks and Competitors

  • Product Usability
Contract Management had to be easy to implement and use to gain acceptance across the enterprise. Otherwise, various departments would not consolidate into a central repository.
We reviewed a lot of solutions ranging from custom builds to well-known names. For our needs, ContractWorks is a good fit and a good value that allows flexibility and growth at a great value. I wouldn't change the evaluation and selection.

No, I dont think "premium" support was an option. ContractWorks support has always been terrific.
Yes, as soon as I asked about Bulk Sending documents, Alexa emailed about training and enabling the feature. Ethan delivered a same live day demo and offered to help set up our project. When we assembled our information, Ethan reviewed it and walked through the process again to make sure we wouldn't have problems. The added support so that we are not left to trial and error with a time sensitive project is much appreciated. Alexa and Ethan didn't know this was a very important, but last minute project - but they made sure we were successful.

ContractWorks Reliability

Tasked with finding a cost conscious Contract Management platform, we knew change and acceptance across the Enterprise would come slow. Using ContractWorks means not overspending in initial months with fewer users. As our core group becomes more proficient and we demonstrate/prove ease of use to other departments with scale up use and cost together
I've never heard that we've had an outage or error and I 'm in ContractWorks days, evenings and weekends.
We haven't integrated ContractWorks with other systems. Otherwise, reasonably sized documents load fairly quickly and reports extract quickly. I work remotely sometimes it takes an extra minute.

Relationship with SecureDocs, Inc.

Very easy to work with. All of our preliminary questions were answered prior to the demo. After the demo, we were able to set up a free trial. There was no pressure and they asked if there was anything further that we would like them to develop.
Very easy. Customer support was friendly and flexible. They were very patient and met with us on our timeline giving us any guidance and assistance we asked for.
The pricing stated on ContractWorks.com is extremely reasonable and works well for us.
ContractWorks is very accommodating and has packaged pricing to grow and scale without overspending.
