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.

"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."
"The overall process of contract review, which used to take at least two weeks, has reduced to a couple of days now, including all the communications and internal discussions, representing a huge improvement."
"In terms of overall efficiency, our working efficiency has improved by 60% primarily because the number of errors has drastically reduced with the inbuilt AI capabilities of Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) and its integration."

Cons

"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has too much customization, making it not that easy to scale it up and scale it out."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) can be improved in terms of UI and functionality, as it needs to be more clean and polished."
"I have not seen a return on investment from Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), as it was a waste of time; I spent a long time trying to get it to work, and it was not adopted by the users, ultimately failing to live up to what I had promised to the business."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) can be improved because implementation can be complex, and the loading process could be enhanced."
"I have noticed there are very few help articles and knowledge-based documents available, making it a bit tricky for new users to onboard onto the platform."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is a powerful platform, but there are a few areas where improvements could enhance the user experience."
"I have not used Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) deeply, but I know that document generation still has some improvements that need to be implemented."
"I cannot say Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is stable. Sometimes it throws some issues."
"The operations could be better, specifically for manufacturing processes."
"As the pricing for Oracle E-Business Suite is too high and maintaining it is too costly, instead of users patching in a timely manner, they complain about the price, and only do the patching whenever there's an issue."
"I’ll mark scalability as 70-30."
"The biggest frustration I have with Oracle is that they have taken an acquisition approach. Because of this, the modules don't talk to each other."
"HRMS analyzers should be automatically updated to be the most recent because Oracle support always asks for the latest version of the analyzer output."
"The initial upgrade, as I’ve mentioned, took away some of our valuable reports that were in the original Oracle EBS. That was really annoying."
"There have been many times where I have had performance problems if there are high volume loads."
"We need to struggle in terms of getting the right support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Compared to other vendors like SAP or Microsoft, the prices for Oracle are reasonable, but they could always be lower."
"Oracle has different licensing models available. For example, concurrent user license metric and power unit licensing metric. It is different from product to product, but for the application itself, the license is by the number of users."
"The license is very expensive and I think that it needs to be cheaper to get a wider range of users or customers."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being very expensive."
"Oracle generally gives a lot of discounts."
"In my opinion, the prices for Oracle ERP are reasonable, especially considering the various discounts that are often available."
"Products concerning areas like CRM and ERP should provide value at lesser costs to customers, especially if you consider that the initial cost of implementation is high."
"In order to minimize the implementation and consultancy costs, business lines should have proper definitions. They need to have a proper way of retrieving their data, which should be structured well."
