Kugamon versus Conga CPQ
The Difference is the Design. Seeing is Believing.
Lack of Deep Salesforce Integration
- Conga CPQ is a rebrand of Apttus Quote to Cash, which was architected to work independently of Salesforce Sales and Service Cloud offerings.
- Conga CPQ does not use Salesforce Product and Price Book functions, but rather has its own Product and Price Book capabilities
- Conga CPQ does not integrate with Salesforce Opportunity Products and thus Pipeline Forecasting in Salesforce is impacted
- Customers must create and maintain separate Product and Price books in Salesforce and Conga CPQ
- Kugamon has been architected to seamlessly integrate and extend Salesforce Sales and Salesforce Service Cloud offerings.
- Kugamon uses Salesforce Product and Price Book functions for a tighter Salesforce integration
- Kugamon enhances Salesforce Pipeline Forecasting functionality with Real-Time updates, Complex Subscription Metrics, and much more
CPQ Not a Priority (Former Apttus Q2C)
- Since the purchase of Conga by Apttus, and the subsequent re-branding of Apttus to Conga, the company's focus has been on Contract Lifecyle Management and Document Generation
- Conga CPQ has not received any significant updates since the purchase and has not been optimized for Salesforce Lightning platform
- Kugamon is dedicated to the Revenue Operations segment
- Since our founding in 2009, Kugamon has continuously improved our solutions with a predictable upgrade cadence
- We are averaging a Product Release at least once per month
Built for the Enterprise, Not Small and Medium Businesses
- Conga CPQ is a very capabie solution for Businesses with Salesforce Developers on Staff
- Conga CPQ is designed for Customers who do not use Salesforce Sales Cloud or Service Cloud offerings, meaning Customers who do not manage their Pipeline in Salesforce
- Kugamon is designed for Customers to Self-Implement and Administer
- This is accomplished by it's intuitive design and thoughtful application behavior, where Administrators and Users can easily understand Kugamon
- Salesforce Consulting Partners not required to implement nor customize Kugamon
High Cost of Ownership
- Conga Implementation Costs are typically 2X to 3X the License Cost
- Due to the nature of custom Implementations, updates and changes require re-engagement with outside Consulting Partners and Developers
- Kugamon Implementation Costs are typically 1/4th to 1/3rd the License Cost
- Due to the intuitive design and thoughtful application behavior, Administrators and Developers easily understand Kugamon
- Kugamon Package Manager makes upgrades straightforward and a pain-free process
- Salesforce Consulting Partners are not required to implement nor customize Kugamon

Great Product, Great Team !!!
Jobscience is a Salesforce ISV that builds and sells Recruiting Solutions on the Salesforce Platform.After researching the AppExchange and considering options such as Zuora, Salesforce CPQ, and Conga CPQ, we selected Kugamon. There are many reasons why we made this choice but what convinced us was 1) the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received from current customers of Kugamon such as IBM and Five Star Professional, and 2) as a Salesforce ISV that is committed to the Salesforce Platform, it was important to us to find an app that leverages Best Practices on Salesforce.We currently use Kugamon and its Subscription & Renewal Management function to meet our business needs and have been pleased with the results. Kugamon understands that every business is unique and has been there every step of the way during our complex implementation. Each time we have had a question or issue, their Support Team has called back almost immediately to help us address our concerns which has always reassured us that we are in good hands. In fact, there are times the Kugamon Support team is available so quickly to help resolve our questions that I have to ask them to wait until later when we are able to spend time working with them on the issue.With Kugamon, we have reduced our quoting cycle time by approximately 45 minutes per quote, simplified and removed significant numbers of unnecessary products from our price book, automated our renewals, improved our pipeline visibility, resolved complications working with foreign currency, and gained better insight into our outstanding receivables -- in addition to improvements we have achieved on many other critical business processes.I would highly recommend Kugamon to any business, especially those committed to the Salesforce Platform. The quality of their App and lighting fast customer support make them a pleasure to work with.

This CPQ has been a joy to implement
Today, we launched phase 1 of our Kugamon CPQ implementation. CPQ is tough work, there's no way getting around it. Partnering with Kugamon and their exceptional team makes it a lot easier. My team and I discovered Kugamon when we were searching for a 100% Salesforce native CPQ. We looked at several different vendors, but most had some logic occurring off instance which wasn't what we were looking for. When we dove in, we realized that Kugamon was a strong fit for our use case. We made the purchase and I can now confidently say it was the right choice. The implementation and training process was delightfully intense. We spent 3 hour a week for 8 weeks with the Kugamon team going through all of the configuration and functionality. But as a result, I finished training with a strong understanding of how everything works and how I could configured it to my use case. Kuldip, the founder and CEO of Kugamon, and Victoria, our Customer Success Lead, have made themselves incredibly available for all of our questions and queries. They’ve also helped us use Salesforce better over all. We still have a lot of work left to complete, but I have high confidence that we’ll tackle it successfully with Kugamon. They have a strong product and an even stronger team. If you’re in the market for a CPQ, I highly recommend you check them out.
