## Conga X-Author for Excel Reviews
  ### 1. Great tool!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2021

**What do you like best about Conga X-Author for Excel?**

This product was a great documentation tool to install and keep all my data, forecasts, and information on X Author. I am able to review and update Excel instead of opening a new program. I believe it syncs with Salesforce and pulls data from it, but the modification would be on Excel. My team can customize a template to update records each month and lock in our data before our deadline.

**What do you dislike about Conga X-Author for Excel?**

Because I have a lot of data, it can take a while to load, and at times my Excel has froze. It is essential to continue to save my work before all is lost. Instead of Saving from under the File tab, there is a separate Save button to ensure the records are uploaded and locked. There are also a lot of validation errors on the sheet so we need to make sure all information is correct otherwise my forecasts wouldn't be successfully saved.

**What problems is Conga X-Author for Excel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Most importantly, X Author for Excel is an excellent tool for forecasting products and inventory needed each month. It provides the data to salesforce and to my production team to lock in the units to produce before we gap out on inventory.

I wish it looked a little more modern, but that's not really an issue. It does exactly what I need it to do very easily. The only other thing I could say is that sometimes it can be really slow but it's nothing I can't work around.

**What problems is Conga X-Author for Excel solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's mainly just making the quote creation process easy. One of my colleagues set it up and did the upfront legwork, and now our entire organization is able to use it daily to cut down on our workload.
