Featured Reviews

Automation has transformed complex contract lifecycles and now supports high-volume workflows
The only drawback of Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is that it does not work for small-scale business areas because I have implemented it for one customer with four or five pages of templates and three to four record types. For that small business, Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) does not work well because it is a bit complicated. Sometimes all customers need is a click of a button to go in and do things, and Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is a bit complicated for such kinds of businesses. There are definitely areas where Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be easier to use for smaller businesses, particularly making processes more streamlined and user-friendly.

Has connected financial data across departments and improved future cash flow planning
I would like to improve the integration with other solutions, as I need everything integrated, like the HR module, purchase module, SCM, production, and engineering. Each and every module should be connected to the finance module, and I think Oracle provides the right solution. Also, SAP, IFS, or Microsoft Dynamics 365 offer some solutions, but I am not as happy with them as I am with Oracle. I believe that Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by transitioning from Java-based scripts in our system to a web-based environment. While Oracle already has JD Edwards available in web-based format, I think it needs to be smoother for optimization and presentation in the future. In comparison, IFS is fully web-based, and all applications are sufficiently good and user-friendly. We are developing and trying to improve to a web-based setup, but it is currently too costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Because of these processes, the customer can send out thousands of contracts in one go instead of creating them and having a lot of people appointed to do this job, and it is a one-person job now."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization by reducing errors that we encountered when we were using a third-party tool for document generation."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization because I can store the terms and conditions between the two parties in the template, and I can share product-related data with the two parties to store prices and other relevant information."
"Globally, the overall time to contract is now seven to ten days, and this has been greatly appreciated by our Legal Ops head."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization as it is faster compared to others."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has a very positive impact on our organization, especially in terms of efficiency and visibility."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) had a positive impact by streamlining the contract management process and reducing manual effort."
"The best feature of Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is the versioning capability because you can see the updates and everybody can see the changes."
"It's integrated, and for any ERP solution, that’s really where the value comes in; just one solution to cover a whole bunch of areas and having the integration."
"The system is very stable."
"Oracle E-Business Suite has contributed to cost reduction in specific areas for customers who transition from using multiple legacy systems in silos, helping reduce costs, decrease employee working time, and minimize duplicate jobs."
"Accessing vital information on the dashboard: I can customize summarized reports to be available on the dashboard."
"The solution is very stable."
"It is quite stable."
"The most valuable features are the financial-related capabilities."
"It's robust and strong for sizeable enterprises that deal with big numbers daily and monthly."
 

Cons

"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) can be improved because implementation can be complex, and the loading process could be enhanced."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is a powerful platform, but there are a few areas where improvements could enhance the user experience."
"I believe Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) should improve by including e-sign directly in the CLM without a third-party integration."
"The artificial intelligence was not working properly, and a lot of improvement has to be done."
"I chose a rating of seven out of ten because there are many areas for improvement for Conga; it is not a complete solution yet."
"The only issue was in X-Author 2.0 where there was a bug; whenever the agreement document was opened and we were already logged in to X-Author 2.0, it was automatically checking out that particular agreement document."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be improved as sometimes when we click on the document, it indicates success without generating a document, requiring us to check the logs."
"Secondly, users have reported that X-Author is not functioning consistently, so if we could have an easier feature for accepting or rejecting changes, that would be beneficial from a user perspective."
"Oracle scales the pricing, but E-Business Suite is still very expensive for small to mid-sized businesses. I heard that this is a common complaint throughout the market for these sorts of solutions."
"The initial setup was a little complex."
"It would be nice to have more web services."
"The user interface is not completely a web interface, it uses a lot of traffic which costs too much for a large number of users scattered throughout the country as they connect from their terminals to do their tasks."
"The support site is the only bad thing I've seen with Oracle. Unless you type in the exact right words, you don't get the right answers."
"Earlier when our organization was small they chose Oracle because in the telecommunication industry everybody was using Oracle. Our company has grown to a size where our particularly billing phase has created some challenges and now we are looking at alternate solutions. There is not a billing engine or module that you can buy from Oracle that can be added to this EBS solution to fix our problem. They should add a billing module or engine to the solution."
"The level of technical support depends on who you get. Sometimes they'll lag along and we have to keep prodding them and babysit the ticket."
"The stability is really 50/50 right now. It could be issues with certain pages or data, or it could be a training issue on our end."
