Streamlined contract signing with effective automation and helpful for loss tracking
We use Conga Contracts, Conga Composer, Conga Grid, and Conga Orchestrate. We have a business all over the world, and due to currency symbols, alphabetical changes, logos, and entity names, we need to build a formula where the template remains the same but the contract terms are different for…

Minimal workspace has organized policies and student records and improves team collaboration
One of the main frustrations I have is the pricing of Notion. It is really pricey; we even used to call it pretty pricey for an expensive notepad. Notion has a per-user pricing model, but I think if it was per-organization pricing with a flat rate for the whole organization regardless of how many new people join, that would be really awesome. But with their current pricing models, especially for a growing organization when scaling from ten to one hundred employees, it is going to cost a lot of money. It is ten dollars as I remember, but that is a lot because you have to pay it per person. Another issue is that sometimes their markdown editor has a great many features, but sometimes the markdown editor breaks. When I copy something from ChatGPT and paste it there, sometimes the content gets messy. Only sometimes, but when it gets messy, it is really hard to fix things up. I might have to delete the entire thing and do everything by hand. So there are some bugs related to the markdown editor, but that is not always the case. The main pain point I would say is the pricing model. I do not have more needed improvements to add regarding integrations, performance, or mobile experience. Those areas are good in my mind. I have not actually used the mobile app a lot, but from other sides that is all good. The main two needed improvements I would suggest are a better pricing model and fixes for some bugs in the markdown editor.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Once you understand how to build the templates, it's a pretty straightforward process. It allows you to create both Word and Excel documents."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic generation of invoices and the ability to merge fields from Salesforce into the document, creating a clean and professional invoice."
"The declarative features and automatic API selections are great as they help with pre-built documentation, query generation, template generation, and articulation."
"I find the Conga email template creation and the document template creation features very useful."
"Conga Composer offers extensive customization and flexibility, that allows us to create documents that perfectly align with our branding and specific business requirements."
"I like Conga Composer because it's simple and flexible. I can manage complex formatting and queries easily and integrate it with other tools like DocuSign for the signing process. I’ve used it in Salesforce by installing the Conga Composer package, creating Conga solutions, queries, templates, and using different parameters. Integration with DocuSign allows me to send documents for signatures with just one click, which has greatly improved workflows. By automating processes, such as generating quotes, it has reduced human errors significantly. I also find the ability to generate documents in various formats like PowerPoint, Excel, and Word very useful. However, I haven't worked with its AI capabilities yet."
"What I like about Conga Composer is that it's much easier than Salesforce's native templating. It's simple to add merge fields, write queries to pull data and access up to four levels of related objects. This makes it very comfortable to get all the needed data into templates."
"I like that Conga Composer allows for the generation of PDFs according to specific requirements by creating templates and pulling all the information added into those fields."
"It is easy to use and very intuitive compared to Microsoft Project."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility...The initial setup of Notion is easy."
"Notion is a great product, but I know it is very pricey."
"Notion has very strong integration capabilities."
"Notion has a lot of integrations."
"Customer support is great, effective, and easy to reach."
"I rate Notion a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is easy."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is at an intermediate level of difficulty since understanding Conga Composer for the first time can be confusing."
"If there could be a preview option available directly in the application for testing templates instead of having to download and test them manually, it would save time."
"Conga is getting more and more expensive."
"When setting conditions, it doesn't work as expected, requiring us to rework the code."
"We have not been using Conga Composer extensively or deeply to look for improvements."
"The only improvement I'd like to see is the ability to hide a single column within a grouped table, which I couldn't figure out how to do."
"One downside of Conga Composer is that it requires integration with other tools for the signing process. Apart from that, I find nothing major to be improved."
"The documentation could be improved."
"There are a lot of things, but one thing that is absolutely necessary is the mobile application."
"Notion's UI needs improvement."
"Notion has one big downside: the lack of an offline mode. If the internet or Notion's servers are down, I cannot access information. This is a big disadvantage."
"User management needs improvement."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is fine, but it is quite annoying that any upgrades on Notion need to happen with all team members."
"One of the main frustrations I have is the pricing of Notion. It is really pricey; we even used to call it pretty pricey for an expensive notepad."
"User management needs improvement. It's difficult to determine what information is private. It's a bit complicated for me."
"If the internet or Notion's servers are down, I cannot access information. This is a big disadvantage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not cheap, but it's not overly expensive either."
"I think the tool costs around six dollars per user."
"Regarding pricing, I believe it’s around fifty dollars, but I’m not entirely sure. Overall, I find the pricing reasonable and am quite satisfied with the product. The value we get from it justifies the cost, as it requires minimal maintenance and is straightforward to use. The functionality it provides aligns well with the investment."
"It's pretty affordable."
"The pricing structure is quite reasonable, and the basic plan covers the most essential features."
"The product's pricing depends on the usage plans."
"Notion is free to use."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. We only need to pay for it if we use it in the workspace."
"The solution's pricing can seem steep, especially when you work with a lot of people. If you are working on your own or for another business, the solution's price won't affect you much."
"The product has good pricing."
"I pay around $100 per year."
