Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Brainshark

  • User interface feels outdated with limited formatting customization options
  • Branching feature is very limited compared to competitors
  • Course catalog and transcript management in Salesforce are clunky and unintuitive
  • Administrative controls are complex and adjusting settings takes longer than expected

Conga

  • Conga's pricing page publishes no rate, no plan tier and no product list, and offers only a Get Conga Pricing enquiry button
  • Pricing is handled case by case through sales rather than through published tiers
  • Conga's CPQ product is now branded Advantage CPQ and is positioned as an integration on top of an existing CRM, so a Salesforce or equivalent CRM licence is required separately
