Conga Composer
Chose Conga Composer
I've used PandaDoc before; it is nowhere near as good as Conga Composer in terms of usability and end-user experience. Conga is much more valuable and business-oriented.

Can have more control with Aspose by using more code to dynamically generate the document to your exact needs.

Conga is better than the rest.

S-docs allows for much more dynamic flexibility. Additionally, S-Docs template maintenance is substantially easier than Conga Composer. Conga requires about 6 steps to make an update to your template. S-Docs has a simple template builder that makes the process substantially …
Chose Conga Composer
CPQ is more customizable and native to Salesforce, but it's extremely difficult to set up and maintain. The Conga Composer configuration is much simpler and quicker to implement.
Chose Conga Composer
I just wish that Docusign and Conga Document Generation could work together after the quote is generated to send out for signature.
Chose Conga Composer
Conga Composer is highly versatile as this can be easily integrated with Salesforce and other Conga products. Other products either lack integration or lack user experience but Conga Composer has provided both along with great integration which reduces manual tasks which was …
Chose Conga Composer
Conga Composer was easier to use by far than PandaDoc and had more options than DocuSign for our particular org.

We have not used any other app however from the user's experience it seems Conga composer is best. And being a Conga partner and implementing the Conga solutions and supporting the existing customers and hearing their success stories it is clear that conga composer and other …

Chose Tungsten PaperPort
Tungsten PaperPort has actually gone through SEVERAL ownership changes since I began using it - I think I initially started using it when it came bundled with a Visioneer scanner...?... but regardless, I've used it for a very long time, and it's continued to get better. I've …

Kofax PaperPort is considerably cheaper than Adobe Acrobat (Pro) and includes so much more than just PDF editing. It allows us to scan, organize, search, and manipulate our documents on the computer instead of in physical filing cabinets. The time saved doing document …
Chose Tungsten PaperPort
I've been using this for years, had many different versions of it, so I just kept upgrading and I didn't try any other software.
Chose Tungsten PaperPort
I was ecstatic to see someone moving PaperPort away from Nuance (Those in my circle of friends refer to them as Nuisance). The lack of customer involvement by Nuance made finding answers to things that sometimes irritate a user to being downright frustrating.
Maybe the purchase …
Chose Tungsten PaperPort
Purchased the Pro because of prior history with Nuance PaperPort. Wish I had done research prior to spending $199.
Chose Tungsten PaperPort
PaperPort is superior in both ease of use and functionality.
Chose Tungsten PaperPort
I don't know of any other software that manages as much as PaperPort and have never looked as I have been using the software for over 20 years! I started using the Pro version likely about 10-15 years ago.

User Testimonials
Conga ComposerTungsten PaperPort
Likelihood to Recommend
From my experience, Conga Composer is particularly well-suited for generating documents, such as quotes and contracts, directly from Salesforce. It saves us a great deal of time, which is remarkably beneficial for companies with sales teams. Not suitable for companies lacking significant Salesforce expertise or administrative support.

It's a good tool for the organization which still send or receive a lot of paper documents. Keeping a track of paper receipts and documents is messy and not sustainable beyond a point. With Kofax PaperPort, the documents can be digitized and stored and even the information can be structured and the processes can be automated.

Pros
  • It allows us to generate multiple documents at once using batch generation. This simple automation saves a lot of time for our team.
  • Its very user friendly. Even a newbie can simply generate document by clicking a button once this is setup by the admin.
  • Integrate Conga Sign with Conga Composer and it will automatically sent for e- signature once generated saving lot of time. we previously had to wait a lot for the signature.

  • The editing of a PDF or image by cleaning up an image are most important to me.
  • Ability to remove scanning artifacts from difficult to scan items at the actual pixel level.
  • The ability to set scanner profiles makes workflow easier.

Cons
  • Not very intuitive. Once you know the system it's fine but there is a learning curve
  • I would like to see training opportunities on features that I am not using or aware of
  • I am sure I am only using about 3% of it's full potential

  • It should have a back button, so if you go from one folder to the next, it would be simple to get back to the first folder.
  • When you combine two PDFs, it should retain the title of the one that's on top.
  • The send to bar should be easier to change.

Likelihood to Renew
We most likely will renew conga because of it's strong salesforce integration and we're so engrained into it with all of our different brands and products/services. It would take a lot of time, money and resources to switch to something else.

PaperPort has a few quirks, but it is the only program of its kind that actually does what it claims to do. The power of it is so much more than they claim especially when it comes to trying to achieve a truly paperless office. With PDF editing built-in, it also saves considerable investment in other PDF editing programs.

Usability
It's a fairly simple tool to integrate into your current business structure. When we've had issues, we were able to resolve them extremely quickly. The users click a button and it can bring in all the quote lines, and our credit application seamlessly into our tool. I'd definitely recommend it to other colleagues

For us, it's only focusing processes that we're already doing... creating folders, placing scanned files into those folders, then searching for and opening up those files later, as needed. It just helps us view everything in one place - very convenient. Further, being able to drag non-native files to their corresponding source app for editing (Word, Excel, etc) is pretty nice.

Support Rating
As a conga parter we have created more than 50+ cases with conga support and many times we have got the answers on the chat support itself. A very effective knowledge base and conga university give you all the study material to enhance your product knowledge. Conga support has been very effective and has always responded quickly to questions and issues

It was painful internally to build out all of the templates, but the actual implementation of the product was okay.

Alternatives Considered
We have not been able to find an offering that allowed for the level of customization or could handle the complexity of the solutions we've built using Conga's products. We selected Conga originally as it was recommended at the time (2012) and there weren't any better alternatives - but we have looked recently and still can't find anything better.
