Sandstone vs Agiloft: Configure Your Own CLM, or Start With Context?
Agiloft is a no-code CLM: you configure the contract process your organization needs, with an integration hub connecting over a thousand business tools, and implementation services available to help build it. Sandstone can start from the work your team already does, without a configuration project first — or we can build alongside you where you want something shaped to a specific process.

Frequently asked questions
Very little. Sandstone learns your positions from the contracts and precedent you already have, so most teams are live within a few weeks. Where you want something shaped to a specific process, we'll build the workflow and approval gates with you.
Sandstone is built for in-house legal and connects to the systems procurement and finance already use, with permissions mapped across those integrations. If what you need is one configurable platform that all three departments operate inside, that's a different product category and we're not it.
Obligations sit alongside the matter and counterparty they came from. If deep post-signature obligation management across a large legacy portfolio is your central problem, a full CLM is the better fit and we'll say so on a call.
It can, and whether it should depends on where you are. Replacing makes sense when the CLM is functioning mainly as a repository with approvals, adoption outside legal is thin, and you'd rather run one system. Running alongside makes sense when there's deep post-signature obligation management across a large legacy portfolio, when procurement or finance operate inside the CLM too, or when you're mid-term on a multi-year agreement. We'll tell you which one you are on a call, including when the answer is that you should keep what you have.
