I am going to speak of a personal experience- on multiple occasions: I need my husband to sign documents during the day and I don't need him here- physically. He sometimes works in different parts of the state as well at his own company. There is no problem at all, as long as he has access to his cell phone, email, and cell phone service- he can sign the documents I need him to. It is AMAZING- I can't speak highly enough of Docusign.

Advantage is that is it easily available as a stand alone software as well as a solution which easily integrates with any application such as ERP, Tally or MS Office. It is easy to use and makes document signing fast. Less suited for organizations that are cost conscious, since cheaper alternatives from competitors are available.

Pros
  • Ease of sending the same document out to multiple recipients, at multiple locations, for multiple signatures
  • Quick turnaround - once the recipient signs the document, we receive notification and the document back immediately
  • Can resend, alter, change, and/or add to the email and/or document that is sent out very easily
  • The recipient can save the document after signing, so they too have their own electronic copy for their records

  • Very easy to use
  • Makes signing official documents easy and fast
  • Keeps you in control of all documents and where they are located

Cons
  • You have to purchase a subscription and unless you really need to originate a lot of documents, it's not cost-effective to maintain the subscription. It would be better to have a subscription that allows you to purchase a bundle of say, ten documents and then use them as needed for the occasional user.
  • You'll be hard-pressed to find anything negative from users other than the price.

The product is a great tool for a remote workforce. As the company gets bigger, adding users to the account can be rather expensive. We considering providing read/sign only access for certain individuals and providing full access to other users as necessary to reduce costs.

Usability
As an Administrator of the system, its ease of configuration and the guidance around doing it is second to none. The screens are broken down into manageable segments and easy to navigate to the area that needs to be looked at. Our Process Delivery teams, after initial training are using the system without any problems and find it easy to operation. We get minimal if any, requests for support.

Support Rating
I'd give them a 10, but there has been 1 or 2 small cases that seemed to fall to the wayside, but I was able to call them up and get them resolved. We were having a bad implementation night (after midnight) and we needed assistance from Docusign. They were able to get an engineer to help us in the early morning hours

I love the elements of the software and ease of use.

Online Training
Docusign is super easy to use, and apart from a few administration details, there was really nothing to train on. Post implementation, there were issues with configuration of auto-filled documents with the integrating 3rd party. That training required some time, because the DocuSign expert took the time to walk me through the 3rd party's configuration (how often does that happen?) so I could see how DocuSign should be best used to overcome weaknesses in the 3rd party platform. 10/10 expert care.

Implementation Rating
Until you get the hang of it, I recommend doing several internal tests before sending a document to a client. As I mentioned earlier, you have to go through a bit of trial and error at first to verify that the workflow works as expected.

Alternatives Considered
Adobe Acrobat Sign is less user-friendly and more suited to small scopes, or one-off documents. It lacks the use of templates that DocuSign has, which is what ultimately streamlines and delivers the consistency and efficiencies for the business.

Because my job was not hosted on Citrix products or a part of their suited, we decided against that. DocuSign was good, but since our documents were so large we wanted something that would be more efficient on that scale. Also, for the price, this was the most effective for our business use

Scalability
In my years of using DocuSign, I have never had an outage. I haven't even encountered a bug.

Return on Investment
  • Less paper use, faster signature times, less time standing at the printer/scanner to send documents to yourself
  • Security over your signature! Security over your company's signature and authorization to approve projects, cash flow etc
  • Love audit trails and the seamless tracking of the status of the document
Read full review
  • In my organization we have kept track of physical prints by users and the amount of total prints from users have decreased since the implementation of PDF AutoSigner. This obviously isn't the only explanation behind the decrease, but definitely a positive part of it.
  • We don't have track or data of time saved, but many colleagues and myself have saved a lot of time being able to sign documents much faster.
