Concord vs. Gatekeeper

For my role as a recruiter, this tool is more than sufficient. I am able to quickly draft multiple offer letters, request approval from our legal team, then share directly with candidates to sign. This provides a great, organized candidate experience. I don't necessarily have an idea of a scenario where it would be less appropriate.

One of the things I appreciate about Gatekeeper, is that all of the documents are housed in one place. I no longer have to chase department people down for contracts. Having all the terms of the contracts entered into the system helps with keeping track of each of the contracts, and having the ability to monitor them in one place. Coming from a place where there was no system in place, it was a given that auto-renewals would happen regularly. Our Accounting Dept. has also benefited greatly using Gatekeeper. Before, they would have to rely on other departments to get the contracts and terms, which would create a backlog for them, especially if they didn't get it in time before the invoices from the vendors started to come in. Gatekeeper isn't a tool that is specific to one team/department, Gatekeeper can assist everyone that needs to access contract terms/information

• Templates are easy to create and utilize.
• Concord has its internal e-signature tool.
• Concord can group by template, active, in progress, etc. and color codes the same.

• Customer service/support, they're always responsive and eager to jump on calls whenever we need their support. They've never once treated us as "paid invoice" and moved on. They build relationships there at Gatekeeper.
• They're innovative, improving on their product, when it is already a fantastic resource tool.
• They have the ability to customize features to fit your needs, that was one feature important to us.

• User management has been and still is, a pain point for us. We operate over a dozen entities and for the most part, anyone with access to Concord on our team has the same permissions across all entities. We must manage users one-by-one so onboarding + offboarding can be tedious.
• The analytics are basic. I wish we could slice and dice and say "Show me only contracts tagged with X tag".

• This might be more of a personal thing to me, rather than an issue for anyone else, but when I'm working on a specific vendor, with multiple contracts, I have to click the back arrow to get back out to the other contracts within that vendor. It would be helpful to have a feature that you could click on to take you back to that vendor where the other contracts are kept.

Concord is extremely user friendly and saves me so much time! How else would I be able to manage all of the contracts for 9 different agencies all by myself?!?

I gave it a five because it was the closest to a neutral response. I have not had issues with Concord and have not had a reason to contact support, so I don't have an accurate opinion here. From my conversations with our legal team, it seems they have been able to work with the support team at Concord to get any potential issues resolved in a timely manner.

Whenever I've reached out to Gatekeepers customer service and/or support team, they've always been prompt in getting back to me, whether it's via an email, text or setting up a zoom call, Gatekeeper's support is impeccable.

Concord is more user friendly and gives the user the power to change settings, change workflows, and customize to meet their own needs without having to wait on customer service or support to make the changes for them. In fact, I was able to do most of our implementation myself just the way I wanted it, and it was easy! There aren't any hidden costs or fees- you simply pay for the number of licenses you need and get all the support you need for free (if you ever need it!). And by the way, the storage is unlimited so there are no worries about maxing out on how many contract or documents you can have!

• Since using Gatekeeper we have a better understanding of what contracts we have, and with the customized Workflow they created for us, the contracts flow through the Pipeline based on our DOA. It's a smooth process from the start of redlining and finalizing to finishing it up with Gatekeepers digital e-signature feature.
• Contracts are not flying all over the place with no structure.
