Likelihood to Recommend
With having all of our contracting through the Salesforce system, the ability to allow our legal teams to do more with generating documents, have controls over redlines, etc is ideal. When sales needs to make additional revisions to the underlying data, however, it can be lacking in strong tools.

Simple and easy to use for the legal team to creates contracts in Salesforce and with the help of conga contract attaches the different clauses through the bundle and sends them for negotiation and for signature.

Usability
The current version is probably about a five. The new version, I have not used it a lot. I've only done some testing around in it, not a lot. I'd say it's probably a seven or eight.

Support Rating
Very very difficult to get support. The support team is great for simple, general questions. If we ran into anything complex, we usually would figure it out before they could help us. We often were bounced around from rep to rep

Alternatives Considered
We looked at several contract management tools like Adobe Acrobat Sign for business, dousign cl, and Ironclad before choosing conga clm. While each had its strengths, conga clm stood out because of its powerful automation, deep Salesforce integration , and flexible setup options. Unlike the others it offers a complete solution everything from creating and approving contracts to getting the signed all in one place. It turned out to be the best fit for our growing company since it handles complex processes easily and keeps everyone across departments on the same page.
