Our verdict
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.
