I looked at Clearslide but decided against it because it's more expensive. I was also up and running on Attach very quickly.

Chose Dropbox DocSend
DocSend wins hands down with the usability and basic features. The insights on individual page engagement itself makes DocSend a way more effective product than Adobe Send & Track. Finally the pricing is just unparalleled.
Chose Dropbox DocSend
Everyone uses multiple services from many companies. It's key if a breach happens or a hack or downtime. So there is nothing to do about some Force Majeure Selecting Dropbox for files is like selecting Paypal for online payments, it has marketed its space but the fees are high.
Chose Dropbox DocSend
DocSend is more convenient than DocuSign if you are already using dropbox, otherwise a lot of these solutions come down to pricing and preference on user interface. For us, DocSend was great until our needs changed to needing a more sophisticated contract management tool. With …
Chose Dropbox DocSend
DocSend offers more data points allowing me to understand my users and how they use the documents they have access to.
Chose Dropbox DocSend
In terms of organization for cloud services, competitors are very well placed in the market. But the ease of docsend is far superior. For users who are not used to these platforms, it is certainly the best tool we have on the market. When it comes to editing and sharing files …
Chose Dropbox DocSend
I have tried Notion and Google Docs earlier. Even though Notion helps me know who has viewed the doc, and their last visit - it still doesn't tell me how many times has a doc been visited, which areas did they focus on. Google Drive only lets me know the change history of the …
Chose Dropbox DocSend
I manage a lot of information from different customers, in many cases, the customer wants to keep the information safe and confidential, the interface in many cases is easy to use, so take some time to adapt to that and, in addition, the share feature provides more flexibility …

Chose Dropbox DocSend
We have chosen DocSend because it has some features that others doesn't have, such as security features monitoring files you have uploaded in it. In addition, you can securely disable the online PDF if you want people to input a password or require an email address before …

Google Drive doesn’t give you the analytics you need to make informed decisions on a client by client basis!
Chose Dropbox DocSend
Our organization previously used ClearSlide but switched to DocSend as a cost savings. It was not made clear during the sales process that DocSend does not natively possess audio conferencing or screen-share capabilities. We had to add on the join.me integration after the fact, …
Chose Dropbox DocSend
DocSend is more robust than Dropbox Showcase for building data rooms but doesn't look nearly as nice from a marketing/sales standpoint. When comparing either to iDeals they are lightweight solutions while iDeals is built for M&A activities. I personally want something in …
Chose Dropbox DocSend
Clearslide had a very similar offering but a bit less user intuitive. The focus was much more on the live presentation mode.

It is appropriate for any business that presents virtually and currently shares files or links.

It's super great for sharing sales collateral, investor pitch slide decks, and other one-time viewing content. It's mainly built for sales but has been a huge benefit as a small startup. It best for PDF content that is okay to be horizontally oriented and scrolled (e.g. the forward and back buttons are on the side of the viewing interface).

Cons
  • If you could actually send the emails from Attach, that might be helpful so you're not in two screens.

  • Customer support is an area that is possible to improve, providing an [quick] answer.
  • [Providing] more details about how to interact with the tool, in some cases, is complicated for new users to understand and start to use the program.
  • The collaboration feature can be improved to allow users to have a better experience using the tool and interacting.

Our organization previously used ClearSlide but switched to DocSend as a cost savings. It was not made clear during the sales process that DocSend does not natively possess audio conferencing or screen-share capabilities. We had to add on the join.me integration after the fact, which has not worked well. When our contract is up with DocSend we will be moving back to ClearSlide

Return on Investment
  • The ROI comes from less anxiety of wondering what a prospect is doing with the attachment and how much engagement they've had with the sales deck.
  • Seeing a prospect open the attachment from the email notification I get is an excuse to reach out.

  • For about $100 you can optimize all
  • Of your pipelines that rely on decks or documents - worth it!
  • The time you’d spend having to send each link to individual clients without tracking is well worth the $100 on the product
  • We’ve been able to close our fundraising round and increase partnerships by utilizing DocSend - would recommend!
