By Conga, Inc. · Founded 2006 · Broomfield, CO · private

This product is distinct from Conga CLM in our [Top 10 CLM ranking](/top-10-contract-management-software), Conga sells both modules in a single suite. The product covers product configuration, pricing rules, quote generation, and tight integration with Conga CLM for end-to-end quote-to-contract workflow. Strengths: deepest combined CPQ + CLM integration in category for Salesforce-anchored sell-side, mature Apttus heritage, broad Salesforce installed base, PE backing for stability. Best fit for Salesforce-anchored enterprises with combined CPQ + CLM needs. Trade-offs: post-Apttus merger created brand confusion 2020-2024, customer reports of UX inconsistency across modules, innovation pace on AI features below DealHub, and outside Salesforce ecosystem the product is meaningfully less compelling.
