Chose airSlate SignNow
In addition to SignNow, I've seen or used DocuSign, Adobe Sign, and DropBox. DocuSign is the most famous, but I found it a bit complicated to use at first. Adobe Sign is also good, but I felt it was more "heavy", with more stuff than we really need. I found Drobox to be very …
Chose airSlate SignNow
The price was a big decision on choosing airSlate SignNow. airSlate SignNow was simple to setup.
Chose airSlate SignNow
We were a former user of DocuSign. We decided to switch, mainly due to DocuSign being a prohibitively high price and SignNow offer very similar features for a more affordable price.
Chose airSlate SignNow
I chose airSlate SignNow over DocuSign due to its user-friendly interface, cost-effectiveness, and swift implementation. SignNow's intuitive design simplifies the e-signature process, ensuring a seamless experience. Additionally, its competitive pricing model aligns with my …

I chose SignNow because of the direct signing link available - I could not find other signature software that had that feature.
Chose airSlate SignNow
We looked at several different offerings such as HelloSign and DocuSign, but SignNow offered the same basic options for a lot less money. It was easy to implement and very user friendly. We didn't need a lot of bells and whistles which the other guys offered which honestly just …
Chose airSlate SignNow
Docusign was robust and great, but was expensive.
Chose airSlate SignNow
SignNow doesn't offer 3 x free documents to be signed monthly, and requires a subscription vs a pay-per-use, which is where Secured Signing shines. Secured Signing also has video verification and additional security measures that SignNow doesn't have. However, I find SignNow to …
Chose airSlate SignNow
The most cost-effective platform for our size and needs. Some had barriers such as needing to download an application or not a household name, and thus, needed some more "pointing out" and following up with. SignNow also has a great, Incognito Alerts setting where you can …
Chose airSlate SignNow
DocuSign has better integration with other programs but sign now is less expensive and better for our bottom line.
Chose airSlate SignNow
Have stuck with SignNow over the last few years for the price and covering of basic functionality. Does what it needs to do on a daily basis. DocuSign is super pricey (they charge on a cost per send model, which baffles me). SignNow is unlimited. HelloSign was also a good cheap …
Chose airSlate SignNow
I have only used the Adobe program a couple of times, but it seemed like it was harder to use. I might give it another chance at some point in the future, but right now, it feels a little bit like it is new and isn't quite ready for prime-time.
Chose airSlate SignNow
I am not the one who investigates or decides on the programs.
Chose airSlate SignNow
It comes at about half the cost and has all the same features, so SignNow was an obvious choice.
Chose airSlate SignNow
SignNow was the cheapest option at the time, so the decision to use it was driven by the cost alone, given the feature parity.
Chose airSlate SignNow
The biggest difference between DocuSign and SignNow is the price! SignNow is so very affordable as compared to DocuSign which was the initial draw. I do not have any loyalty to another software just because it may be popular or widely used by others, I'm looking for a …
Chose airSlate SignNow
I currently use eSign Genie because it offers per use pricing options. However, I find the interface to be more confusing. It is more confusing for me and more confusing for the recipient signing documents.
Chose airSlate SignNow
DocuSign has benefits as well but the pricing is prohibitive for what I need on a day to day basis. SignNow gets the job done at a price I can afford. Its value proposition is good and I have very few issues with it.
Chose airSlate SignNow
We were comparing the two and in the end, we liked the ability to use the kiosk mode provided by SignNow and the pricing structure seemed more reasonable.
Chose airSlate SignNow
I liked EchoSign when I had signed up. I moved to SignNow (which was CudaSign when I signed up) and paid a lot less. It was inexpensive enough at the time where I could overlook the bad design since AdobeSign (then EchoSign) had a great interface. Fields were easier top place …
Chose airSlate SignNow
When compared to Docusign, I find that SignNow does as well of a job. I have used both software and have never had any issues with either. I have no problem recommending one or the other to friends or family. Both are great products and I will continue to use either when …
Chose airSlate SignNow
When reviewing programs for use I found for the price and ease of use SignNow was by far the best choice. I used the trial period for both products and involved persons of all levels and at the end of the day found that SignNow was the right choice for our business use.

Automation anywhere is well suited in most rule-based processes. It can manage high-volume transactions with accuracy and scale up quickly. It is very flexible in terms of integration and implementation. The bots can be scheduled, monitored and performance can be reported on a regular basis. It works well with most enterprise solutions.

SignNow is particularly useful for simple documents, forms and contracts where there the fields are pretty standards- names, signature block, title. It would be helpful to have features that allow substitution of certain fill in the blanks such that allow you to use the same template but first have a dialog to integrate language for a person, corporation, partnership or LLP. I'm a lawyer and having the ability to assemble variation of this nature into one template would be helpful. Also (and it may do this) the ability to change the actual form/document within the a template would be useful.

Pros
  • Now I easily generate the invoices and quotation generation is an easy task now. Previously it was very time consuming as we have to drag the data from the excel sheets.
  • I will praise its integration with other software that has facilitated us to make amendments in the data across those platforms.
  • Its interface is very easy and user friendly.

Cons
  • Automation Anywhere doesn't come with easy installation, We need to install Java, IDEs and Databases in an orderly fashion which we are not able to do.
  • Automation Anywhere has no workflow design which is not making us to understand the process.
  • Automation Anywhere has no fit to size object cloning.
Read full review
  • When using shared templates, the option to rename the document is at the bottom of the signatures page. I would like that to be visible sooner as some of my team misses it and sends documents to clients with the templated name instead of the correct name because they forgot to scroll down far enough to see it.
  • CC'ed contacts used to show suggestions as you typed the email if you've sent that person a document before, but that functionality no longer shows on our account. I'd like to see that brought back.
  • It would be nice if we could add folders to our documents page so that we could sort sent and signed documents into individual client folders. The search feature works fine, but folders would help clean up the view for my team.

We love SignNow. SignNow has allowed our business to function more efficiently and effectively. It has also allowed us to streamline our onboarding process and allow us to have everything electronic and use less paper. We are also able to reach and hire people all over the world. Employees and candidates are able to access and sign important and time sensitive documents quickly. The system is user friendly and straightforward.

Usability
On more complex use cases, Automation Anywhere requires technical background like knowledge on network protocols and database language on task creation, and even people with technical background might have some trouble in the beginning because of the product particularities on how variable manipulation works, or how to get the object cloning (a more resilient screen manipulation command) to work as intended. The scheduling of tasks on the Control Room and the autologin feature isn't intuitive as they should, so much of this works requires documentation analysis to get it done on the first time.

I gave it a 9 because the system is very easy to use, even for those who are not very familiar with digital signatures. It is all very intuitive, you can send, sign and track documents without any complications. I only didn't give it a 10 because sometimes it gets stuck when the file is large (very rare but it happens) or there are a lot of people to sign, and then you have to keep resending it and also, as I mentioned, the dedicated support would be interesting in case of emergency. Dei 9 porque o sistema é bem fácil de usar, mesmo pra quem não é muito familiarizado com essas coisas de assinatura digital. É tudo bem intuitivo, dá pra enviar, assinar e acompanhar os docs sem complicação. Só não dei 10 porque às vezes ele dá umas travadas quando o arquivo é pesado (muito dificil mais acontece) ou tem muita gente pra assinar, e aí precisa ficar reenviando e também como comentei do suporte dedicado que seria interessante em caso de urgência

SignNow is always available when I need it. It seems that most updates occur outside of business hours so I have full functionality when I need it most between the hours of 8am-6pm EST. There has only been I time when I experience application errors when I need to use the system but it did not last long and the issue was resolved within a few hours.

Support Rating
Automation Anywhere is a great tool for a low cost, fairly easily scalable, and quickly learned. The company is growing by leaps and bounds and continually pushing the automation boundaries. The problem with fast expansion is that sometimes you can grow more quickly than you can appropriately support your products. While Automation Anywhere has an excellent support structure in place, every company and situation is different, and they often struggle with why problems arise in the system and how to fix them.

I only used SignNow support when setting up. I uploaded a bunch of documents in the wrong place and needed assistance in moving them. Unfortunately they were not able to move the documents and I needed to upload into a different place. This is where I feel the system itself could benefit from some flexibility for their customers.

Alternatives Considered
Automation Anywhere is the most comprehensive, end-to-end automation platform out of the three. It offers a wider range of functionality than Blue Prism and UiPath. Its powerful features allow automation of complex tasks, creating smarter bots to streamline business processes. Automation Anywhere’s features are also very progressive, supporting web scraping and creating AI-driven automation capability. Additionally, it requires less redevelopment for updates than the other two options as its development platform is one of the most user-friendly designs available.

The choice of Automation Anywhere over the others was made due to its comprehensive features and progressive capabilities that will make our enterprise more efficient in automation functionalities. The large library of functions provided by Automation Anywhere makes it easier for us to find the right solution quickly, without having to develop extensive scripting knowledge if needed during projects.
