Conga Contracts vs Ironclad Comparison

It's pretty easy to use and allows us to send contracts to prospects and track all of the activity taken on the contracts.

It doesn't allow you to watermark DRAFT on it which is frustrating because this is helpful for contracts that are not yet approved by our Finance team. I wish it had that functionality.

I love the redlines feature. My internal stakeholders find it easy and intuitive to use and love being able to keep track of where their agreement is in the review cycle. Any time we need help or want to change a workflow, Ironclad have been incredibly responsive to our requests.

I wish there were Dashboard filters. For example, currently I can sort my active contracts, but I can't filter them to see, for example, only those that are in the "Archive" stage.

Ironclad is easy to use and allows teams to efficiently edit and execute contracts in a collaborative manner.

There are still some features that are not available such as the parent-child relationship and being able to see who is currently reviewing the draft of the contract. However, the solution is improving with each new release and these features will be available soon.

Hi Tony, We've put a lot of work into Ironclad's collaboration capabilities, so it is wonderful to see that called out as one of the things you like best. We'll reach out directly to chat more about parent-child relationships and turn tracking. Thanks for the review!

It is simple to use and has an intuitive layout that makes it simple to navigate. We have saved a significant amount of time and effort by being able to draft, negotiate, sign, and manage all of our contracts in a single, centralized location.Its conditional approval workflows, which guarantee that each contract is reviewed by the appropriate party and nobody else, are one of the platform's standout...

The interface can occasionally be confusing, making it challenging to navigate and find the desired feature or option. This is one issue I've run into. Additionally, it is possible for the software to take a long time to load, which can be annoying and reduce efficiency. The limited customization options are another issue because it can be challenging to fully tailor the software to meet the particular requirements of my organization. Last but not least, customer service can be patchy and response times can be slow, leaving me without a solution to my issue for longer periods of time. Despite Ironclad's advantages, these drawbacks have diminished my satisfaction with the platform as a whole.

The fact that I can look at the platform and see the history of what has gone on with every contract

The fact that I am not able to use it for Amendments. It seems to only work for new Agreements which isn't useful for me as I am constantly Amending contracts. With Ironclad not having functionality for Amendments, it is difficult to link the main Agreement with subsequent Amendments--this needs to be fixed.

Ironclad has a suite of contract tools that allow for internal teams to easily and quickly get contracts sent out for review without heavy involvement by the legal team. The platform has an intuitive revision flow that makes it clear what redlines have been made so legal teams can quickly pinpoint where to focus their energy and compare versioning in one platform, and once completed send the document out for signature and archive it in our cloud storage platform of choice. Ironclad has really helped remove some of the painful manual contract review processes I had to deal with and allows me to spend my time more wisely on other legal issues rather than on more administrative contract processes.

As a new user it takes a little time to learn how to use the platform correctly as a new user, and I wish there were better resources available for self learning on how to best use Ironclad's various features. However, once you get up to speed with Ironclad it's easy to build some very useful workflows without much more guidance.

- The ability to send and receive new versions of documents through email without the need to download/upload to existing Ironclad workflow is very convenient. - Built-in text editor with ability to @comment someone in-line is useful for minor redlines and collaborating internally (but UI still needs work). - Activity feed and email tracking (when enabled through a CC) allows for storage of discussions around redlines so that future teammates can look back at contract negotiations without having an admin search through a previous employee's inbox, for example. - Salesforce integration works flawlessly - Docusign integration lacks visibility but it's good enough

- Getting workflows set up to cover possible permutations and outliers was 2 months-long, aggravating experience. The problem lies in that changes to a workflow template will not affect in-flight contracts, so you would have to take the docs out of Ironclad and go through email/Docusign, which cancels the need for Ironclad. Most of the time, you don't discover you need to change a workflow until you...

Hi Sharlene, Thank you for the review! It is wonderful hear how Ironclad has improved your contracting process, and helpful to understand where you would like to see product development. We love to hear from our customers - please reach out directly if there is more feedback you would like to pass along. Thank you!

Since we use a lot of the same agreements project after project, it is critical to save time through standardization and automation. Ironclad encouraged us to take that step to facilitate the contracting process to get contracts signed faster than we ever have. The Support team is also amazing, as I've recommended features that have been implemented in later versions of the program, and they really listen to their users and want to make sure we are taking advantage of all Ironclad has to offer. And our business users absolutely love it!

I can't really say there is anything I like least about the software because I know that it is constantly changing and improving. Whatever I say I don't like about it now, I'm sure there will likely be an update in the future that will remedy it.

Hi Joshua, We are so happy to hear that Ironclad has helped you to standardize and automate your contracting process. We're also so happy to hear that you have had a positive experience working with our support team - I'll be sure to pass that feedback along to them. Thank you for the review and for being a customer!
