What is our primary use case?
Conga Sign is a built-in digital signature process similar to Adobe Sign and DocuSign. We typically use it in our projects to avoid the manual signature process between two companies. Business users can utilize digital signatures, which are easy and compatible for business operations.
After a document has been set up with all pricing details, agreement, and contract information, one of the business users responsible for contracting and signatures generates the document. The document is then sent to the client or customer who must review it and provide digital signatures. In the background of Conga CPQ, we have integrated Conga Sign. When the document is sent through email to the customer, they can easily verify and review the entire document and complete the digital signatures. The document is then returned to the actual business companies.
The primary use case for Conga Sign is to process digital signatures. Previously, companies and customers who approached us were using manual processes. For several companies without the same headquarters to meet for signatures between organizations, which would occur in other countries, digital signatures have become very easy. They can send documents in online mode, and signatures can be completed in less time.
What is most valuable?
The best feature is the write-back feature in Conga Sign that integrates signature details into Salesforce. However, it only supports limited data types, but it is very useful to the users.
We used Conga Sign in our previous projects, allowing users to easily drag and drop the signature onto documents. Users do not have to do much work on signatures, mentioning the name, date, and all those details. They can simply click on a button, drag the signature onto the document, and it is easy to put digital signatures.
We have dealt with many customers and implemented and configured everything the customer required. After we delivered all the features the customer requested, we received positive feedback from the customer. Additionally, we received more customers from the same organization or from within the organization. The tool has been used in multiple companies and has proven very useful to customers and our company from a revenue perspective.
Previously, when Conga Sign did not exist, signatures between two companies were done either manually or in other ways where parties would meet face to face. After Conga Sign came into the picture, the two parties can connect online. Documents are sent online to put signatures, which is very easy through email or Outlook. The two parties have not wasted time. Time has been consumed more efficiently, revenue has increased, and their revenue has increased as well.
What needs improvement?
Sometimes Conga Sign creates issues where we have to go to Conga Sign setup and reconnect it again. Since we are using Conga Sign as a package in our Salesforce ecosystem, sometimes the package versioning has changed, so we need to check for the latest version and upgrade it. Occasionally, Conga Sign troubles us, requiring refresh actions that create some issues. This does not happen often, but it happens sometimes.
Sometimes the solution that we are providing in the document does not accept all data types. We use text, lookup, and other standard fields, but sometimes it will not allow rich text, formula fields, and those kinds of data types in a Conga Sign document.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Conga Sign for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Conga Sign is stable, and it is not complex for configuration. It is pretty easy to configure all items, and it is pretty easy for users to use as well. It is not overly complex for users to operate.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Conga Sign is very scalable, and growth has increased significantly after using it.
How are customer service and support?
When we raise a request to the support team about any issues with Conga Sign, they resolve the issue in less than 24 hours. When we use the solution's out-of-box functionality, sometimes Conga Sign functionality breaks, and fixing it takes some time, but the Conga support team is always helpful and resolves the issues very soon.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Many customers who approached us were using the manual process before. They were not following digital signatures; they were following the manual signature process for trustworthiness and other reasons. After we gave an introduction and explanation about Conga Sign, they were really impressed and are now using Conga Sign.
What about the implementation team?
We are a partner for Conga products and have a partnership with them.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
For the pricing setup in Conga Sign itself, the document we use has all the pricing details, which can be read in the document. License-wise, I would say it is not very much higher or lower. For users to use Conga Sign, you need to buy the license in the Salesforce ecosystem to install the packages. I would say it is moderate, not pretty high or pretty low.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
As we have been using Conga products for a long time and Salesforce products, we typically picked Conga Sign and are using it. I am not sure if any other alternate products exist, but I would say for now, it is the best one to use.
What other advice do I have?
A signature has to be very secure and confidential. More security packages have been installed in Conga CPQ and Salesforce. It is very secure. Using AI, you cannot have data stolen from documents sent to customers.
Using AI, we can better improve Conga Sign where digitalization has been enhanced, and documentation, the UI, the text part, and the signature part can be improved. Using AI, the accuracy of the signature process can also be improved. AI will help improve this whole process.
We are deploying documents or Conga Sign features to higher environments within the Salesforce premises and Conga platform only. We do not require any other third-party applications to deploy the changes.
Salesforce is a cloud itself. We are using the Salesforce cloud itself.
It will vary between the business-to-business use case. Many businesses have saved their money and time on digital signatures using Conga Sign.
If the document is a quote or proposal, we can send only that file. We can upload and attach any file from local storage. If the customer signs the document between the two parties, the second signature should be done by the other customer. It will be notified to the other customers, and they can do signatures at both ends. It is pretty easy and simple. The signature part of the document, the digital signature, has been completed. I advise users and customers that they can go for Conga Sign. It is not overly complex, and it is not that financially expensive for the license either. I encourage users to use Conga Sign. I would rate my overall experience with this product as an 8 out of 10.
