Considered Both Products
Conga Sign
Chose Conga Sign
Conga Sign works with our existing Salesforce environment. We also use other Conga products such as Batch and Trigger, and Composer. Because of our existing Conga products, Sign was able to be implemented with minimal setup time as users were already familiar the Conga …
Chose Conga Sign
Having one solution is better than having Conga Sign plus others (I.e. DocuSign)
Chose Conga Sign
Cost is the best motivator. Conga Sign is in the Conga product family so ease of use is great
Chose Conga Sign
We used DocUSign and AdobeSign prior to coming to Conga Sign. Conga Sign was suggested via our product developer referred by Salesforce for most unlimited sends and best integration with SF. The envelope send was our deciding factor, as we were paying $4-6 per send and …
Chose Conga Sign
We prefer Conga as it integrates well with our other Conga products such as Conga CPQ, Conga CLM, and Salesforce. Integration is very easy and documents get triggered for signature with just a click and the signing process is also very easy for the end user which makes the …
Chose Conga Sign
Conga Sign is much more affordable than DocuSign for our organization and we are using Conga Composer already to create documents. We found that the integration between Conga Composer and Conga Sign was easier to use and we have a nice discount from Conga due to us adopting …
Formstack Documents
Chose Formstack Documents
Formstack Documents [(formerly WebMerge)] has better overall integration with third-party integrators at a very competitive cost. That allowed us to have a broader range of choices than something like SharePoint at a better cost point than something like DocuSign. It was simple …
Chose Formstack Documents
We originally used Google Documents in Google Drive to create the same formatted word documents that included all relevant info. However, that method required a LOT of manual copy and pasting and was proving to be a huge time waste for the team, let alone unsustainable as we …
Chose Formstack Documents
Formstack Documents integrates well with all of these other products, making workflow very streamlined and easy to manage.
Chose Formstack Documents
I use Zapier to integrate Formstack documents with Podio and Insuresign (now Formstack sign). All three applications work very well together, and I would recommend that anyone who is looking to use Formstack Documents also use Formstack Sign as well as Podio. Zapier is the …
Chose Formstack Documents
Each of the programs above answered a specific call to action. While each addressed a small portion of our need, they never quite fit the bill for what we needed. It was actually a representative from three of the ones above which selected WebMerge. They wanted to sell their …
Chose Formstack Documents
We have been trying to get information on DocuPanda and NiftyQuoter, however, these two tools are mostly oriented to create quotation and the setup is pretty complicated. If you are looking to create just quotation, you may try these two, but WebMerge has a better performance …

Likelihood to Recommend
It is well-suited for most of the clients which have trust in digital signatures and want to reduce the turnaround, but there are still some clients which do not prefer digital signatures and prefer printed agreements with wet signatures. Conga uses the latest digital signing legal regulations so this is a customer-to-customer issue.

[Formstack Documents (formerly WebMerge) is] well suited for a mid-size organization that has multiple data inputs and needs to provide structure and professional document generation. As helpful as it is, the cost would prevent smaller businesses from realizing the cost savings that a larger one will.

  • The user has the option to forward to a relevant party where he might not be the correct person.

  • It consumes PDF applications and prefills them from a database or form. If your file is not in PDF form it can work from applications such as Microsoft Word.
  • It has logic that enables you to bundle applications based on criteria. For example you could bundle state specific applications with a new business applications if a state criteria is met.
  • It has several integrations partners in the fields of E Signature and Forms.

Cons
  • Some businesses still don't consider digital signing of critical documents a legit way.
  • Conga sign still doesn't allow sending of multiple files for signing.
  • There is a slight rendering time we have noticed while the customer opens the document which can be reduced.

  • If you don't know anything about these types of programs, it can be hard to learn it at first. There is a bit of a learning curve, especially when you get into the designer. It looks like MS Word, but not as expansive.
  • Lingo. There have been times I've delved into the more complicated pieces and the lingo used wasn't easy to understand. This hasn't occurred much.
  • I would like it to keep up with current upgrades for MS Office, but I also realize they can't be trying to match other companies while trying to maintain the innovation of their own.

Usability
We're a relatively high-skilled team and we all find Conga Sign's user-friendliness very low for all user types. It should not take a highly skilled tech person to complete documents. Documents need to be user friendly for all user types.

Return on Investment
  • We are growing our Strategic Partners and each requires a signed agreement, very essential to growing our business
  • We need to update our Plan Administration agreements and having automation for getting and tracking all of the signatures is vital
  • Conga Sign is good enough for all our use cases so we don't have to worry about using 3 or 4 solution platforms to gather signatures.

  • Formstack was an absolute necessity for us and during our busy season, it saves our client team approx. 15 hours a week. This is MASSIVE and allows us to take on more clients.
  • Formstack wasn't crazy intensive to set up timewise, but it took a team member a day to set up and a few days of testing. Once it was set, we have no reason to look back unless we want to add something on.
