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.

I like the assignment management and contact management features. I would like them to extend the possibility for functional segregation.
Extending the possibility for functional segregation would allow us to decentralize certain functions between different areas. In our organization, the administration of users (or executives who access the system) is done by an area. The management of executive skills is performed by another area, according to the current Siebel. These roles should not be independent.
