Contract management and workflow automation platform

About Ironclad

Ironclad is a cloud-based contract management and workflow automation solution for creating, automating, and tracking all types of contracts and agreements. The platform offers a workflow engine, audit trail, CRM and e-signature integrations, automated approval notifications and reminders, searchable contract records, and more.

With Ironclad, users can convert any of their contracts or agreements, including MNDAs, SOWs and franchise agreements, into automated workflows using the workflow engine. The interface is designed to be simple enough for anyone within an organization to use, enabling full self-service contract management. Contracts are stored in existing systems, with native support for Box, Dropbox, Egnyte, OneDrive, and Google Drive in addition to the public API, and preferred naming conventions are maintained. All necessary metadata is collected and organized into searchable records, for which users can locate data for use in business analytics and reporting.

Ironclad’s audit trail ensures that all users are given access to the same information about contract statuses. Contract approval notifications and reminders are generated and sent automatically, and integrations with Adobe Sign, HelloSign, and DocuSign enable the addition of signatures to documents directly from within the Ironclad platform. Ironclad also integrates with Salesforce, allowing users to incorporate contract management into their CRM workflow, with automatic sync of contracts and metadata between the two systems.

    Easy to use, beautiful product with great support!

    Reviewed on 2018/12/20

    Pros

    Ease of use - our non-legal stakeholders can intuitively use the product and love how it works!
    Clean UI - no unnecessary options, everything make sense
    Great support - very responsible support who've been able to help us out in a pinch
    The self-service option is getting better and better - excited about the potential!

    Cons

    Wish that some of the newer features would be implemented into the older workflows faster (we are just now finding out about some features that have been available for a long time but weren't reflected in our workflows)

    Overall experience has been so positive that we are going to move off of DocuSign entirely and over to Ironclad. We believe they are better positioned with their product roadmap to support our company as we scale in the coming years.

    Pros

    The user interface is a lot cleaner than most other CLM software, and it's clearly been designed with integrations in mind. It's a surprise when these integrations don't work perfectly, because usually they do.

    Cons

    As a very forward-looking product, I wish there was more prescriptiveness within the product that shows you what best-in-class CLM looks like. As it exists, it's very choose your own adventure which is daunting if you don't have a full-time admin.

    Good but not Great

    Reviewed on 2018/12/07

    Pros

    It's functionality is great. The report system adds a true value in helping the firms/company to increase efficiency. It minimizes effort in versioning up and having a comment section is great in keeping all the notes. Being able to store metadata is crucial in terms of renewal.

    Cons

    It's just not great. It can be better. Non-legal background users have hard time understanding the process. These process and system is very foreign to them and it doesn't resemble any other software that they use. So it takes a long time for them to understand the importance of versions, redlining, and metadata. Not being able to upload PDF is a big issue. Building a brand new workflow or tweak a bit takes too much time to build. There's not enough self producing(despite Blueprint) and self control in admin's perspective and we have to reply on Ironclad's support team most of the times. I don't think that's efficient in either side.

    Perfect contract management tool

    Reviewed on 2025/01/22

    Pros

    Ironclad helps our company with contract management and centralizes our contract workflow and review all in one place. It is great for collaboration for review of draft contracts, comments and tracking changes.

    Cons

    It would be great if ironclad had more integration with different systems.
