Why choose Contracko over Malbek?
Malbek is an enterprise CLM platform with modern intuitive UX, excellent reporting, and fast implementation designed for legal departments. While offering strong core features and 4.5/5 ratings, the platform has heavy reliance on Microsoft Word plugin and DocuSign integration for contract editing and e-signatures, creating dependency on third-party tools. Users report limited integrations with popular systems like Greenhouse, Zapier, and Workday, and the platform restricts only one amendment in draft stage at a time. With no transparent pricing and enterprise-only positioning, Malbek's integration dependencies make it less appealing for smaller businesses. Small businesses seeking standalone contract management with built-in features find Malbek's integration-reliant approach and enterprise complexity limiting.
