We primarily use Conga Sign through our Salesforce integration when we send out contracts for sales. A small percentage, about one percent of our usage, is for internal purposes where we send documents for sales reps to sign off on, like their annual plans.

Conga Sign
User-friendly setup enhances contract signing process
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The setup is user-friendly, allowing us to easily drag and drop tags onto our document from an ad hoc standpoint. Prepopulating tags in contract templates is straightforward, making the usability of the setup a top feature for me.
What needs improvement?
If there was the ability to have some kind of warning or alert for sales reps, indicating that a contract is already out for signature before they send a second one, it would greatly reduce confusion. Currently, when reps send out a new contract for signature without canceling the previous one, it leads to unnecessary reminder notifications.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Conga Sign for about seven years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Outside of larger outages, there aren't specific stability issues with Conga. Our biggest problem is that some customer firewalls block the documents, preventing them from receiving or opening emails with the link.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Conga Sign is scalable, but the whitelisting issue is the biggest hurdle. Some customers question why we don't use DocuSign because their systems readily accept it.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't had to use Conga Sign's technical support team. My only experience is related to the composer tool, where they were helpful for an issue we had.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We initially used DocuSign and then a free document generator. As our business grew, we upgraded to Conga for superior Salesforce document generation and bundled Conga Sign with our contracts. The switch was primarily due to cost savings.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was pretty straightforward, likely one of the easier implementations I've done. As long as one follows the instructions, anyone can do it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
From our experience, Conga Sign was almost half the price of DocuSign. With a smaller scale, the cost savings didn't significantly impact us despite initially having only about thirty licenses.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Our experience is limited to DocuSign from an e-signature standpoint.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend Conga Sign, especially for mid to small-sized organizations. If a company works around the firewall blocking issue, it is scalable and great to have both the composer and e-signature tool together. Prior to being acquired, Conga Sign was a perfect fit for us. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Conga Sign an eight.

I have used Conga for over five years, maybe seven, implementing solutions for clients.

Conga is impressively stable, consistently available and ranked highly among document generation packages for Salesforce. I am surprised it hasn't been acquired by Salesforce yet.

Conga is scalable due to its range of features and options that make it easy to use. However, there could be limitations when it comes to using it on public websites outside Salesforce.
How are customer service and support?
I have only contacted their support once or twice. They were responsive and quick, except for one instance which was not on par. Not needing to reach out often is indicative of the solution’s simplicity and effectiveness.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is fairly easy. It's mainly about installing the Salesforce package, setting configurations, and uploading templates, although learning to set up templates has a learning curve.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Compared to other vendors, Conga is relatively expensive. However, the features justify the cost, and it’s mainly suitable for enterprise-level clients. For smaller enterprises, this might be challenging, and they often opt for cheaper options.
What other advice do I have?
I absolutely recommend Conga. It is always my top recommendation for anyone who can afford it.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Effortlessly streamline document management with powerful automation features

I would like to see better initial setup assistance and improved documentation, which would make it easier for new users to understand and configure the solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
The solution has been in use for around one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Generally, there are no performance issues. However, occasionally, the system may go down once a year for maintenance purposes, which is promptly resolved.

Conga Sign is scalable and can handle a large number of documents, making it useful for projects with many users involved in signing.
How are customer service and support?

How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have not worked with DocuSign, however, I am aware of its integration capabilities with Salesforce.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup involves configuration and authentication processes, which require careful attention. While the initial setup is manageable, a few hours are needed for SMS authentication during the first-time setup.
What about the implementation team?
Two resources were involved in the initial setup and deployment.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have not evaluated any other solutions, nor worked with DocuSign although I am aware of its capabilities.
What other advice do I have?
For effective implementation, ensure the initial setup is conducted correctly. Seek technical team assistance if unsure. It is crucial to refer to Conga documentation for product setup and syntax. When necessary, request callbacks or consultations with the technical team. This approach saves time and cost.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Well integrated with Conga Legal/CPQ but not as smooth as Docusign
Signing envelopes get lost as a result / delayed signing
Not great UX
Audit trail
Seamless contract signing workflow, good contract management, and fluid processes
What is our primary use case?
I usually use Conga Sign in my contract management processes. We generate a contract through the composer, and it moves to the signing application. In this case, Conga Sign, which is more fluid because it's the same application. Then we sign that template that we have just created and send it to the client.
How has it helped my organization?
Conga Sign makes the signing process more fluid since it is integrated with the same application that generates the contract. This simplifies the workflow significantly, especially compared to connecting Conga with DocuSign, for example.
What is most valuable?
It integrates seamlessly with Conga Composer, making it simpler than if we had to connect Conga with DocuSign. Hence, it brings fluidity to the contract creation and signing process.
What needs improvement?
The documentation for Conga Sign could be improved. It is not very simple, and even though it is easy, you need to know what you are trying to do or where to find the information. If changes are needed, it gets complicated. Additionally, for non-technical users, customer support could be better to help them get the answers they need quickly.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Conga Sign for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There are no real issues that I've seen regarding the stability of the solution.
How are customer service and support?
For someone nontechnical, they wouldn't be able to get the answer they want as quickly or as easily.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive

Before using Conga Sign, I used DocuSign.
How was the initial setup?
I haven't done the deployment or initial setup in a long time since the client already has it in place.

I would recommend Conga Sign, especially if they already have Conga Composer and need to send documents for signature. It is the best option if they already use Conga Composer.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Like Adobe Sign and DocuSign, the Conga product has a built-in signature process called Conga Sign for digital signatures.
What is most valuable?
The solution's most valuable feature in terms of configuration is the Write Back functionality. Whenever a user signs a document with an electronic signature through Conga Sign, the system recognizes the signature type, the person making the signature, and the signature date. Salesforce captures all these details into the product Conga, and this entire process is called Write Back. The information transferred from the document to the cloud is called Write Back.

I haven’t faced any issues with the solution’s stability.
How are customer service and support?

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
There's a built-in functionality in Salesforce where we attach a document from the local storage, and they print it. After signing the document, they'll upload it back. Apart from Conga Sign, I have used that method sometimes.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup is easy, but sometimes, we need to set it up multiple times.
What about the implementation team?
The solution’s deployment takes only one to two minutes.
What other advice do I have?
If the document is in a quote or proposal, we can send only that file. We can upload and attach any file from the local storage.

Conga Sign is a secure and easy-to-use tool that allows users to sign documents digitally. I would recommend the solution to other users.
Overall, I rate the solution seven and a half to eight out of ten.
