Conga Advantage CPQ Reviews & Product Details

The Conga CPQ Sales team is truly excellent. During our purchase of Conga CPQ, we reached out to the Conga Sales team with our requirements, and they provided a concise demo while also clearly explaining some current limitations of CPQ with large cart, along with plans to address them in the future. All responses from the Sales team were quick, professional, and timely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Sales team promised that the large cart limitations would be resolved in the near future, but those limitations are still present and stopping us to close large deals on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Conga CPQ is powerful solution, it does come with a learning curve.The initial set up and configuration can be complex and usually require experienced resources.Some part of the user interface could be more intuitive, and troubleshooting can be complex. However, once these challenges are addressed, the platform performs reliably and delivers strong value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a consultant, my main concern is that with Conga CPQ is it's steep learning curve and maintainance complexity. Advanced pricing rules and configurations requrie strong documentation and it's time consuming in troubleshooting and fixing the issues. From a user experience perspective, Conga CPQA feels functional but dated. NAvigation isn't intutive for sales users, it needs multiple clicks often requires training that natural usability.

We love the way Conga handles their integration with other products. For example, to integrate DocuSign with Conga CPQ, they provide a UI named Configuration Home, where we can enter all integration details and complete the process with a single click. This is why we love Conga—they understand how to make processes simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We understand that Conga releases new features, but the initial documentation for these features is not good, and every time we need to understand how to use them, we are required to reach out to Conga Support. They need to improve their documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Conga CPQ documentation is very good, with a tree-like structure and useful filters. We can now filter the documentation based on product and known issue topics. The new documentation portal looks good from a UI perspective and also provides quick results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Conga CPQ does not provide an action panel like the one it provides for CLM, and due to this, we needed to build our own custom action panel for Proposals, which took time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We like how Conga keeps releasing new versions of their product. For example, we were previously using X-Author for Contracts 1.0, which was an installation file, and we were facing many issues. Now we use their cloud extension named X-Author for Contracts Advanced, which they manage from their end. Positives of the new version are that there is no machine dependency and automatic updates are available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We do not like the time it takes for them to fix a simple product bug in Conga CPQ and expect the Conga Engineering team to fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Conga CPQ helps bring structure to the quoting process. It manages product configurations and pricing rules in one place, which makes quotes more reliable. The tool connects well with Salesforce and other Conga products like Composer and Approvals, allowing a smooth flow from quote creation to documentation. Customer support has been useful and responsive when assistance is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system can feel complex during initial setup, especially for organizations with detailed pricing or approval requirements. New users may need time and training to become comfortable using the tool. Ongoing maintenance also requires careful testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CPQ provides various useful features like constraint rules, field expression, price matrix, and attribute rules. These features are really helpful for various business use cases. Apart from this, everything is documented in Conga's official documentation, which helps the end user to understand how the CPQ works. CPQ is really a game changer.

We have been observing interruptions in the quoting process. This is due to various reasons, as CPQ is a bit of a complex product. Hence, identifying the exact root cause is quite challenging. In that case, we need to reach out to Conga Support team to resolve the issue, which takes some time, and we lose the deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mostly like Conga CPQ's user interface. With the CPQ admin, part of Conga CPQ, I can handle multiple tasks like configuring products, creating price list, setting constraint rules, and establishing price metrics and product attribute rules all in one single window. This setup saves significant time by eliminating the need to switch between different windows, which is really convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Upgrading Conga CPQ to a new version was a major concern for us. One of our users mistakenly upgraded, and then when we wanted to revert back to the previous version, we found it impossible. We had to uninstall the current version, which led to losing our entire configuration and data. It required a lot of effort to reinstall and set things up again. Also, the initial setup of Conga CPQ wasn't easy because it was handed over from a third-party implementation. We're still facing challenges with the complex product structure and heavy pricing.
