One of the things I appreciate about Gatekeeper, is that all of the documents are housed in one place. I no longer have to chase department people down for contracts. Having all the terms of the contracts entered into the system helps with keeping track of each of the contracts, and having the ability to monitor them in one place. Coming from a place where there was no system in place, it was a given that auto-renewals would happen regularly. Our Accounting Dept. has also benefited greatly using Gatekeeper. Before, they would have to rely on other departments to get the contracts and terms, which would create a backlog for them, especially if they didn't get it in time before the invoices from the vendors started to come in. Gatekeeper isn't a tool that is specific to one team/department, Gatekeeper can assist everyone that needs to access contract terms/information

For any small legal department, it is a must. It's like having a paralegal keeping you organized. I'm not sure how a large legal department might us it, but I have a hard time thinking it would be any less useful to them. I am a big fan of all of the time it saves me when managing hundreds of supplier agreements and I need to survey a specific term across all of the agreements. I'm not sure how I would do that without LinkSquares' help.

Pros
  • Customer service/support, they're always responsive and eager to jump on calls whenever we need their support. They've never once treated us as "paid invoice" and moved on. They build relationships there at Gatekeeper.
  • They're innovative, improving on their product, when it is already a fantastic resource tool.
  • They have the ability to customize features to fit your needs, that was one feature important to us.

  • Reporting
  • Ability to tag all contracts for easy searching.

Cons
  • This might be more of a personal thing to me, rather than an issue for anyone else, but when I'm working on a specific vendor, with multiple contracts, I have to click the back arrow to get back out to the other contracts within that vendor. It would be helpful to have a feature that you could click on to take you back to that vendor where the other contracts are kept.

  • I would love to see integration with Adobe Sign so I could edit contracts right in LinkSquares and send through Adobe seamlessly.

Return on Investment
  • Since using Gatekeeper we have a better understanding of what contracts we have, and with the customized Workflow they created for us, the contracts flow through the Pipeline based on our DOA. It's a smooth process from the start of redlining and finalizing to finishing it up with Gatekeepers digital e-signature feature.
  • Contracts are not flying all over the place with no structure.

  • Better contract reporting.
