Buyer's guide
Enterprise CLM platforms compared.
What Icertis, Ironclad, Agiloft, Sirion, Conga CLM, DocuSign CLM, Juro and ZiaSign publish about contract lifecycle management, side by side, with the questions a legal or procurement team should answer before shortlisting.
Published by ZiaSign; not an independent review or ranking. Vendor pages reviewed . Sources and method.
Start from the process, not the feature list.
Large enterprises usually shortlist two or three suite-scale platforms and one lighter option, then run the same agreement through each. The five criteria below are the ones vendors describe most differently; answer them from your own requirements before reading any vendor page.
- 01
Published pricing
Does the vendor publish plan pricing, or is every quote sales-led?
- 02
AI review named
Which AI-assisted drafting, review or extraction capabilities does the vendor name?
- 03
Integrations named
Which CRM, ERP, procurement or collaboration systems does the reviewed page name?
- 04
Native e-signature
Does the vendor describe its own signing capability, or rely on partners?
- 05
Obligations and renewals
Does the vendor name post-signature obligation, renewal or performance management?
What each vendor publishes.
“Named” means the reviewed vendor page describes the capability; “Partly” means it is described without specifics; “Not stated” means the reviewed page did not mention it. None of these is a judgement of quality, and a capability may exist without appearing on the page we reviewed.

- May fit

- Validate before shortlisting
- Implementation scope, services and timeline; how your ERP or CRM connects; who administers the data model after go-live.

Sources and review method
Linked vendor pages were reviewed on . Vendor descriptions paraphrase what each page says about its own product; fit and validation guidance is ZiaSign's assessment. No hands-on benchmark, analyst evaluation, certification check or like-for-like price study was conducted, and no vendor was contacted or paid for inclusion.
Published documentation does not prove availability in your account, plan or region. Confirm current terms, entitlements and implementation scope with each vendor before purchasing.

What enterprise buyers ask about CLM platforms
It depends on the process you are fixing. Icertis, Ironclad, Agiloft, Sirion, Conga CLM and DocuSign CLM are the suite-scale platforms most often evaluated by large enterprises, each with a different emphasis: governed contract data (Icertis), workflow adoption (Ironclad), configurability (Agiloft), post-signature performance (Sirion), revenue processes (Conga) and an existing DocuSign estate (DocuSign CLM). Juro and ZiaSign are lighter, AI-assisted options for teams that want to start with a scoped evaluation. Build the shortlist from your own criteria, then verify each vendor's current documentation.
No. ZiaSign publishes this guide. Vendor descriptions paraphrase each vendor's own pages reviewed on 10 September 2026; fit and validation notes are our assessment. It is not an independent product test, analyst evaluation or endorsement, and it contains no scores.
ZiaSign connects AI-assisted document analysis, contract workflows and electronic signatures in one workspace and publishes its pricing, documentation and an enterprise evaluation evidence pack. It is a smaller vendor than the suite-scale platforms above and does not claim a completed third-party certification on this page. Treat it as an option to evaluate against your required controls, not as an established incumbent.
Signing is one step in the contract lifecycle. Some platforms include native signing (Ironclad, Conga Sign, DocuSign, ZiaSign); others integrate signing partners. Decide whether you want one vendor for review, approval, signing and post-signature management, or a best-of-breed signing tool paired with a repository or procurement suite.
Vendors publish services and case studies but not guaranteed timelines, and this guide makes no timing claim. Ask each vendor for a written implementation plan covering template rebuilding, migration of legacy agreements, integrations, roles and acceptance criteria, then compare like for like.
No. Every vendor here describes AI assistance for drafting, review or extraction; none removes the need for qualified human review of clauses, obligations and dates. Evaluate AI output on your own agreements with the same acceptance criteria for each platform.
Run the same agreement through every shortlisted platform.
Start with a free ZiaSign workspace or discuss enterprise requirements. Agree required controls, migration responsibilities, implementation scope and rollout dates in writing with every vendor before committing.
