Limited pre-signature authoring — contract drafting and complex authoring workflows less advanced than enterprise CLMs like Agiloft or Ironclad.Not procurement-focused — designed primarily for legal teams rather than full source-to-pay or procurement operations.Advanced customization constraints — highly custom enterprise processes may require workarounds or custom API integrations.Reporting customization limitations — limited flexibility in custom report builder compared to some competitors.Supplier collaboration limited — no native supplier network; relies on CRM and external integrations for supplier interaction.Top Pros
