The ten market players in this report and a brief synopsis of their participation in the market are:
DocuSign CLM, Icertis, Conga, Agiloft, Ironclad, LinkSquares, Evisort, Sirion, ContractPodAi, and SAP Ariba are widely recognized as ten major companies in the contract management software market due to their enterprise-grade features, AI enhancements, and broad integrations with ERP and CRM systems. DocuSign CLM leverages its e-signature leadership to provide end-to-end agreement lifecycle management with workflow automation and strong audit trails, making it popular for organizations needing seamless signature-to-execution processes. Icertis emphasizes contract intelligence and compliance at scale, offering deep integrations with SAP and Microsoft and advanced analytics that help enterprises extract strategic value from contract data. Conga focuses on revenue lifecycle and tight Salesforce integration, providing configurable templates, negotiation portals, and AI-driven clause extraction to align legal, sales, and finance workflows. Agiloft is known for a highly configurable, no-code platform suited to regulated industries that require bespoke workflows and strong security and audit capabilities. Ironclad concentrates on legal-operational efficiency with automated playbooks, AI-assisted review, and workflow orchestration designed to accelerate contracting cycles for in-house legal teams.
LinkSquares and Evisort have carved out strengths in AI-driven contract analysis and post-signature obligation management, with LinkSquares favored for rapid repository analytics and obligation tracking across mid-to-large legal teams and Evisort for proprietary ML/LLM models that accelerate metadata extraction and search from legacy repositories. Sirion specializes in post-execution governance and supplier performance management, combining AI analytics with contract-to-performance linkage useful for procurement and vendor management teams. ContractPodAi positions itself as a GenAI-forward CLM with conversational assistants and modular deployments aimed at legal operations, offering integrated intake, authoring, and analytics that appeal to enterprises seeking an integrated, AI-native platform. SAP Ariba brings contract management into a broader procurement and supply-chain ecosystem, enabling contract creation, compliance tracking, and direct data flows between sourcing and payment systems—an advantage for companies that want CLM embedded within their procurement-to-pay processes.
Across these vendors, common differentiators include the depth of native AI (clause extraction, obligation tracking, generative drafting), the extensibility and prebuilt integrations with systems like Salesforce, SAP, and Microsoft, and the balance between configurability and out-of-the-box usability. Enterprises prioritizing deep customization and complex compliance often favor Agiloft or Icertis, while teams seeking fast time-to-value and strong e-signature workflows lean toward DocuSign CLM or Conga. Organizations focused on AI-first contract insight and rapid repository mining frequently evaluate LinkSquares, Evisort, or ContractPodAi for their ML capabilities and extraction speed. Procurement-centric deployments commonly select SAP Ariba or Sirion to link contracting with supplier performance and spend management.
