Helps us secure viewing of customer accounts; scalability streamlines production of large reports
You can control who views what, as far as security is concerned, in viewing customer accounts. I'm not sure if that was available in the product at the beginning, but we use it extensively now. Also expandability. It's easy to add more space to it when you need and to. If you're producing large reports it's easy to increase so you can handle the new volume that may come along.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We standardized our CIS log processing with CA View. We support a whole bunch of LPARs, about 80 or so. When we go to an LPAR, we know just where the CIS log is, it's in CA View, and we know how to get to it, we don't have to search around for it."
"I would suggest you strongly consider CA View and Deliver; take a big look at it, it's straightforward."
"It's easy to add more space to it when you need and to. If you're producing large reports it's easy to increase so you can handle the new volume that may come along."
"The main benefits I have seen from using Conga Composer are that while Salesforce provides features to build documents or cases that function as quote summaries, they have limitations, and after choosing Conga, we discovered that it already has many features that enable us to easily build complex templates and it works perfectly with our business use cases, which is why we selected it."
"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."
"The declarative features and automatic API selections are great as they help with pre-built documentation, query generation, template generation, and articulation."
"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."
"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 find the Conga email template creation and the document template creation features very useful."
"In my 2.5 years of experience with Conga Composer, I can say that it was one of the best document generation tools that I have used in a very long time."
"Conga Composer is very easy to use. It's easy to debug if you have an issue."
 

Cons

"There was one customer we were trying convert over, and it was complicated. There were retention criteria which seemed a little more limited than with some of the other products."
"I believe they do probably have a GUI interface for the laptop, so you can just use the interface instead of the mainframe ISPF interface. I think that's already available but, if not, that would be my only issue."
"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, and even after working with support we ended up reducing the overall complexity of our template."
"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 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."
"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."
"I had only one minor issue, which was resolved quickly due to their prompt assistance."
"When setting conditions, it doesn't work as expected, requiring us to rework the code."
"It would be better to have a custom button that automatically sends a document to the client's email and sends it for a signature with a single click."
"The documentation could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It requires other pieces of CA software and license keys, thing like that. That's one thing to keep in mind. It requires CA Common Services in order to actually be licensed to run on LPAR."
"I think the tool costs around six dollars per user."
"It's not cheap, but it's not overly expensive either."
"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."
