Conga delivers responsible AI paired with human oversight for accuracy and compliance, creating one connected workflow across the revenue lifecycle to reduce manual work and accelerate business outcomes. Conga CLM delivers on the promise of One CLM. Every team. Every contract. It unifies Legal, Procurement, and Sales in a single platform, eliminating silos and creating one connected workflow across the revenue lifecycle. Every contract is centralized in a secure, searchable repository, turning static documents into structured data for real-time visibility, dashboards, and analytics. Conga CLM accelerates execution with automated intake, review, approval, and signature workflows, while enabling self-service contracting to reduce legal bottlenecks. AI validates clauses, scores risk, and tracks obligations to enforce compliance and reduce audit exposure. Seamless integration with CRM, ERP, and procurement systems ensures consistency and speed across the business. With responsible AI, intuitive design, and enterprise-grade scalability, Conga CLM empowers organizations to manage complex contract processes confidently and adapt as needs evolve. The CLM market is highly fragmented. Sell-side specialists excel at revenue contracting but lack procurement depth. Buy-side vendors focus on supplier agreements but fall short on full lifecycle management. Enterprise generalists try to cover both but struggle with poor integrations and fragmented data models. Procurement suites offer only basic, bundled CLM capabilities with limited automation. Conga CLM is built to do what none of these do alone: support Legal, Procurement, and Sales in a single, unified platform — across both buy-side and sell-side contracts. Conga CLM is flexible enough to support any team, scalable from a simple repository to enterprise-wide automation, and extensible through API-first integrations with Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, Coupa, and Ariba. With 10+ years of implementation expertise and responsible AI built in at every tier, Conga CLM is the platform that grows with your business.

## Conga CLM Reviews
  ### 1. Intuitive Contracts with Complicated Setup

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Erin H.

**Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2025

**What do you like best about Conga CLM?**

I find Conga CLM to be valuable for its out-of-the-box functionality, which streamlines our contracting process within the enterprise business segment. The software's intuitive contract generation process is a standout feature, as it significantly expedites the creation of complex contracts based on input from the sales team and pre-existing information in Sales. Additionally, Conga CLM integrates effectively with Salesforce, enhancing our overall workflow efficiency.

**What do you dislike about Conga CLM?**

The implementation of Conga CLM was not well-handled, as it involved custom solutions that were excessively complex and difficult to manage. These solutions could have been better designed to facilitate easier maintenance. Furthermore, the support teams did not effectively transfer the knowledge of the implementation to the ongoing support from the Account Management Support (AMS), leading to a lack of understanding of our custom solution. Additionally, the tool for managing templates and redlining, XAuthor, is glitchy and slow, which frustrates our users. It would be preferable to have a different tool for redlining contracts that either is not a Word add-in or functions as a more effective Word add-in. A separate tool for managing the templates would also be ideal. Overall, the setup was overly complex, and the team prioritized meeting deadlines over designing and implementing a sustainable solution that would truly benefit our company.

**What problems is Conga CLM solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I find Conga CLM expedites contract generation by drafting complex contracts using pre-existing criteria and sales information. Its intuitive process and extensive functionality are beneficial, although I struggle with complex custom solutions and glitchy tools like XAuthor.

  ### 2. Not great for high volume SMB sales teams

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2025

**What do you like best about Conga CLM?**

Being able to see when someone has opened or signed an agreement.

**What do you dislike about Conga CLM?**

How clunky, old school and time consuming it is. Not great for a SMB sales team that does tons of sign ups for multiple products/services every day. Not easy to use and it takes way too many clicks.

**What problems is Conga CLM solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allows us to send out order forms/agreements and integrates with salesforce to be able to track ARR for our team / each rep.

**Official Response from Haley Roussell:**

  ### 3. Conga Contract User -

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ana D. | Senior Procurement Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2025

**What do you like best about Conga CLM?**

I like the ability to customize the platform to perform to fulfill our needs.

**What do you dislike about Conga CLM?**

As mentioned above I use Conga Contracts which is the legacy platform. Unfortunately, this system is no longer eligible for enhancements, and it is not user friendly.

**What problems is Conga CLM solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps to manage renewals and audit tracking.

  ### 4. Apttus/Conga review

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** William "Bill" S. | Senior Paralegal, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2021

**What do you like best about Conga CLM?**

It enables a law department to work with other departments more efficiently.

**What do you dislike about Conga CLM?**

My experience with the CLM started when they were first starting out and i was like wow how cool is this.  But a few years later i revisted this system and it felt outdated and slow.

**Recommendations to others considering Conga CLM:**

make sure review their system and other CLMs and determine if it is the right fit for how your company intends to use it.  and make sure you define the right stakeholders and get their input prior to making the decision.  i believe that the company where first used to the system did not . Once you make the decision to go ahead with system, it is on you to make sute you keep current with all new offerings otherwise it will like all othef CLMs will feel outdated.

**What problems is Conga CLM solving and how is that benefiting you?**

quick and accurate approvals from multiple departments.

  ### 5. conga contracts

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2019

**What do you like best about Conga CLM?**

best about what - the conga connect seminar?  If so, then I like the venue itself - just wish better classes

**What do you dislike about Conga CLM?**

wish it was more tutorial and not Q&A on app - in the actual seminar

**Recommendations to others considering Conga CLM:**

proper training - 

**What problems is Conga CLM solving and how is that benefiting you?**

uploading all documents efficiently

  ### 6. Great in theory, but underwhelming in practice

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Melissa S. | Manager, Global Service Line Marketing, Hospital & Health Care, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 31, 2017

**What do you like best about Conga CLM?**

I like the idea of Octiv. Locking down boilerplate content in key sections of proposals, and allowing our sales team to pull from a library of approved content should make our proposal process much easier than it is today.

**What do you dislike about Conga CLM?**

In practice, it's not as user-friendly as it appears. Our users struggle, and have resisted using it. Our proposal volume is low enough that the learning curve is proving to be too steep. There is also no track changes function, which is critical to our review process.

**Recommendations to others considering Conga CLM:**

Implementation was slow. Some of the challenges were on our end, but some of it was due to misunderstanding during the sales process. And actually going live has been very difficult.

**What problems is Conga CLM solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reviewing our proposals takes too long currently, because the entire document needs to be read from beginning to end. I'd love to use Octiv to solve that, but it has not been as easy as we had hoped.

  ### 7. It is a okay solution

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 03, 2017

**What do you like best about Conga CLM?**

I think I like the Publish function in template, when it is mass publish, it works pretty well.  Redlining. FX2 is okay too.

**What do you dislike about Conga CLM?**

There are quite some bugs and release issues. It is bad that merge server releases usually caused problems. 

**What problems is Conga CLM solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Faster and single system from quote to cash

  ### 8. Painful

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2015

**What do you like best about Conga CLM?**

I like that Apttus automates the process that used to be more manual.  It's allowed us to get things done in a slightly more orderly manner that is less wasteful in terms of creating steps.

**What do you dislike about Conga CLM?**

Apttus is slow.   Our company has seemingly invested a lot in all of our business tools, but Apttus takes an incredibly long time to load.  On top of this, it's incredibly clunky in terms of creating contracts.  The process by which one must select products and re-price is incredibly inefficient and takes significantly more clicks than other processes.  Beyond this, Apttus is very inefficient in terms of how it displays information once it's been entered into the system.  I find myself spending a significant amount of time browsing pages to try and find the correct information as I go back to review certain points. 

**Recommendations to others considering Conga CLM:**

I would look carefully at the full process that Apttus can offer you in the context of your actual business.  They additional steps and buttons they force you to push are frequently onerous, and it falls significantly short of intuitive.  Also be aware that the way it integrates with other solutions may be very clunky at best.

**What problems is Conga CLM solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We've created a more robust system to record and regulate the processes around getting contracts approved and moved.  We do, at this point, have the ability to more closely monitor contracts as they move through the process. 

  ### 9. Tinderbox ....Meh

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2015

**What do you like best about Conga CLM?**

It's ease of integration into Salesforce.com
Intuitive tools and use that flows with Salesforce.com
Fast installation without many steps.

**What do you dislike about Conga CLM?**

Terrible formatting for SOW templates.
User required rework because merging options are not very well written when pushing out a proposal from Salesforce.com.

**Recommendations to others considering Conga CLM:**

Look at other apps before settling for this one.

**What problems is Conga CLM solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Attempting to shorten sales cycle by having an automatic way of generating proposals out of Salesforce.com. No realized benefits because too much manual rework is required.
