Salesforce Technical Lead at a outsourcing company with 501-1,000 employees
Configuring complex customized quotes has improved flexibility but still needs smoother approvals
There are many out-of-the-box features available in Conga CPQ compared to other CPQ systems, and we can easily customize the entire CPQ itself using many customizations and APIs that are not available in other systems. Out-of-the-box APIs are the best features that Conga CPQ offers, as everything can be customizable. The product bulk loader is a feature that has helped my team significantly. For instance, in other CPQ systems, implementing similar features requires extensive customization. However, with Conga CPQ, using the Add Multi-Prod API, we only need a CSV file with product codes and quantities. We check for any active price list items and prepare a wrapper class to input data to that API, which simplifies creating a cart with products. Conga CPQ positively impacts my organization with many ongoing projects involving its features. People appreciate its extensive features and the support from the Conga team, who respond immediately to any cases we raise.

Streamlined quote-to-cash has improved pricing accuracy and supports complex discount approvals
Overall, Salesforce CPQ is a powerful solution, but there are a few areas where I think it could be improved. One area is the complexity of configuration and maintenance. As product catalogs, pricing models, and business rules become more complex, administration can require significant expertise. Simplifying configuration and troubleshooting would be beneficial. From a user experience perspective, some areas of Salesforce CPQ could be made more intuitive, especially for new users working with complex product configurations and pricing structures. A more streamlined interface and guided setup options could help reduce the learning curve. Salesforce CPQ is a very strong product, but a few enhancements would make it a ten out of ten for me. The biggest area is complexity; as product catalogs, pricing rules, and approval processes become more advanced, the configuration and maintenance can require significant expertise. Simplifying administration and troubleshooting would make the platform easier to manage.
