Salesforce CPQ migration in 2026, what did you end up picking and would you pick it again

About 2,800 employees, 4 legal entities, 3 currencies, SF staying as the crm, netsuite downstream. Mostly annual subscription with a usage component growing faster than anyone forecast.

We are in week 6 of narrowing down a shortlist and we keep getting the same names. Nue, conga, dealhub, oracle, plus ARM as the stay option, if that matters.

What we want is an honest review rather than an evaluation. Every evaluation looks the same on paper. we need to know what you picked and whether the thing that sold you still mattered months or an yr later.

The part we are not quite able to reason from the inside is native versus not. Staying inside salesforce boundary means less intergration work. but we have been burned previously by this native meaning bc we are going to inherit the platform's opinion about how quoting should work.

If you stayed on arm and it was the right call, say that too. we would rather hear it now than later on.
