User Testimonials
	ContractHero	DocuSign CLM
Likelihood to Recommend	ContractHero shines in scenarios requiring cross-functional collaboration on contracts. It might be less suitable for organizations heavily reliant on mobile contract management or those with a strong emphasis on advanced analytics. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	DocuSign is useful for collecting electronic signatures on isolated documents and packets that are administered separately or integrated into another system. DocuSign is integrated into our onboarding system, Paylocity, which is where the employee completes all onboarding tasks required for employment. Integrating DocuSign with Paylocity allows us to send documents that require more than one signature along with other onboarding tasks, which makes for a less confusing onboarding experience for the worker. DocuSign also allows us to automatically run E-Verify from the integrated Form I-9 Document, which saves us lots of time onboarding each employee.
