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

"Conga Composer is easy to use, especially for C-level executives, as it simplifies the contract signing process."
"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."
"Conga Composer is very easy to use. It's easy to debug if you have an issue."
"Conga Composer offers extensive customization and flexibility, that allows us to create documents that perfectly align with our branding and specific business requirements."
"Once you understand how to build the templates, it's a pretty straightforward process. It allows you to create both Word and Excel documents."
"I like Conga Composer because it's simple and flexible. I can manage complex formatting and queries easily and integrate it with other tools like DocuSign for the signing process. I’ve used it in Salesforce by installing the Conga Composer package, creating Conga solutions, queries, templates, and using different parameters. Integration with DocuSign allows me to send documents for signatures with just one click, which has greatly improved workflows. By automating processes, such as generating quotes, it has reduced human errors significantly. I also find the ability to generate documents in various formats like PowerPoint, Excel, and Word very useful. However, I haven't worked with its AI capabilities yet."
"I have never faced any issues with stability."
"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."
"Notion has positively impacted my organization by helping us in a way that we don't have an internal website."
"Notion helps us to track 90% of issues."
"The product has a valuable feature for databases. It has a table and a calendar view and saves various documents in the system."
"Notion is a great tool for note-keeping and note-sharing."
"Configurability helps me because Notion provides the very basic functionality and then on top of that, I can configure whatever entities I want, whatever behavior I want, and group them in any way I want."
"Notion positively impacts my organization by helping me stay organized, and having tasks and notes all in one place definitely saves me time."
"Notion is a great product, but I know it is very pricey."
"Notion has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to work better asynchronously."
 

Cons

"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."
"Conga Composer can be improved because it has a steep learning curve, especially for new users."
"The debugging skills could be improved as we need to stay alert for issues."
"When setting conditions, it doesn't work as expected, requiring us to rework the code."
"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."
"The biggest area where Conga needs improvement is its documentation. The documentation is good but not up to par with other platforms like Salesforce, which has extensive documentation and a helpful community."
"Conga is getting more and more expensive."
"Conga Composer is somewhat slow."
"It has a slow loading page and laggy scrolling, which irritates me."
"I think Notion is now overcomplicating things, as there are too many features and for a user who starts from scratch, it can be difficult to learn everything."
"I think this part with the agents is not quite on point, and I think it needs some work."
"While Notion is very strong overall, there are a few areas that could be improved to make it even better."
"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."
"I find that at times Notion can be a little slow and otherwise a little hard to set up for beginners."
"Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content"
"Notion can be improved, and the main downside comes from its pro feature, its configurability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the tool costs around six dollars per user."
"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 rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. We only need to pay for it if we use it in the workspace."
"I pay around $100 per year."
"The product's pricing depends on the usage plans."
"The pricing structure is quite reasonable, and the basic plan covers the most essential features."
"It's pretty affordable."
"The product has good pricing."
"Notion is free to use."
"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."
