What do you like best about Conga CLM?
Here are a few **newer (or increasingly noticeable) things about Conga CLM that I like**, especially compared to how CLM tools used to feel:
* **Improved contract authoring experience**
The clause library and template management feel more structured and reusable, making it easier to standardize language while still allowing flexibility where needed.
* **Better automation across the contract lifecycle**
More steps—request intake, approvals, versioning, and execution—can now be automated end to end, reducing manual handoffs and email-driven processes.
* **Stronger Salesforce alignment**
The tighter integration with Salesforce objects (Accounts, Opportunities, custom objects) makes contracts more contextual and easier to track alongside deals.
* **Enhanced visibility and reporting**
Contract status, bottlenecks, and key milestones (like expirations and renewals) are easier to surface, which helps with proactive contract management.
* **Clause and obligation control**
The ability to manage fallback clauses, conditional language, and obligations improves compliance and reduces legal risk.
* **Scalability beyond legal teams**
CLM is increasingly usable by sales, procurement, and operations—not just legal—without sacrificing governance.
Overall, what I like most is that Conga CLM is moving from being just a **contract repository** to a more complete **contract lifecycle platform** that supports speed, compliance, and visibility at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Conga CLM?
Yes—while **Conga CLM** is solid, there are a few areas where it can improve to make the experience even better:
**• Usability & user experience**
Some screens and workflows can feel clunky or unintuitive, especially for non-legal users. Improved UI and clearer navigation would help adoption across teams.
**• Onboarding & training**
Given its capabilities, better in-product guidance, tutorials, and contextual help could reduce the learning curve for admins and business users.
**• Workflow flexibility**
More dynamic and easily configurable workflows (without heavy admin support) would let teams tailor approval and review paths faster.
**• Reporting & dashboards**
While contract reporting exists, richer, more customizable dashboards and analytics—in line with modern BI experiences—would help teams spot trends and risks faster.
**• Template & clause management**
Even though libraries exist, more intelligent suggestion tools or easier reuse/search features would help authors find the right language quickly.
**• Performance at scale**
For very high volumes of contracts or large orgs, performance can lag—optimizations here would help speed up contract creation and search.
**• Integration ecosystem**
Expanding prebuilt integrations with more third-party systems (eSignature alternatives, CLM data in BI tools, ERP/finance) could reduce the need for custom builds.
In short, Conga CLM could improve by becoming **more intuitive, easier to customize, and more performance-optimized**—especially for users outside legal who interact with contracts daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
