Document creation has become faster and more accurate but complex templates still need improvement
In terms of improvements for Conga Composer, we did start seeing a lot of requests related to customization, which were initially difficult. As people got to know that it's very easy to customize it, we started to get those more and more, and we saw fewer errors. Earlier, there were many requests to manually adjust the contract value, which was not possible with the CPQ quote documents. With Conga Composer, we can customize it to some level. For exception cases, we can modify the template and generate the contract in a way they want it. While we did not record any metrics, looking at the overall tickets and the reduction in errors we used to see, I think it has improved efficiency by a lot, and our stakeholders agree. However, I would say that despite being easy to set up these templates, there are limitations around looping. Some functionalities break when dealing with large templates, around 30 to 40 pages long. We jumped on their support, but we could not come to a resolution, so we ended up reducing the overall complexity of our template. I think Conga Composer could improve its adoption for Conga Composer Sign. Right now, the adoption is not very great. People use Conga Composer mainly for document generation and then go separately for DocuSign. To get a better hold of the market, Conga should definitely invest more into Conga Composer Sign.

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

"As an implementer, what stands out for me is that I've been on it for more than ten years now, so I kind of saw some change in the UI, and it's very nice."
"Conga Composer is very easy to use. It's easy to debug if you have an issue."
"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 initial setup of Conga Composer is easy."
"Using Conga Composer helps us send proposals much faster—within minutes instead of hours—thus improving our sales cycle by roughly twenty to thirty percent."
"I have never faced any issues with stability."

"The documentation creation and review of this documentation in Notion has reduced approximately 50% of the time."
"Notion is a great product, but I know it is very pricey."
"I believe that whatever kind of product you want to build or whatever company you're running, there's a solution within Notion, and I appreciate the additional plugins that can be used to run those specific projects."

Cons

"For newcomers to the platform, the removal of certain suggestions in recent releases can be a pain area."
"Honestly, when I was a consultant, Conga Composer was okay, but then when you went a bit outside and wanted to take Conga Sign, which was called Conga Sign back then, but maybe they changed the name now, all those things were getting very expensive."
"I had only one minor issue, which was resolved quickly due to their prompt assistance."
"Conga is getting more and more expensive."
"The query builder could use some updates."
"The debugging skills could be improved as we need to stay alert for issues."
"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 Composer can be improved because it has a steep learning curve, especially for new users."
"User management needs improvement. It's difficult to determine what information is private. It's a bit complicated for me."
"It is complicated to connect Notion with external systems."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product."
"I think there should be an AI improvement for Notion, such as an agentic AI for every user, and I think it would be better if the pricing were lower."
"It can be tough to scale Notion and streamline how I create all the different pages."
"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."
"Customer support for Notion is mediocre at best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 not cheap, but it's not overly expensive either."
"I think the tool costs around six dollars per user."
"The product's pricing depends on the usage plans."
"It's pretty affordable."
"The pricing structure is quite reasonable, and the basic plan covers the most essential features."
"The product is affordable compared to other platforms."
"I pay around $100 per year."
"The product has good pricing."
"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."
"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."
