Considered Both Products
Foxit eSign
Chose Foxit eSign
Foxit is a lot more user friendly and has more usability then Adobe.
Chose Foxit eSign
Better value and ease of use for HIPAA compliance.
Chose Foxit eSign
I looked at other options such as DocuSign and they're fairly expensive. The decision to go with eSign Genie had a lot to do with pricing. Once I selected them I was happy with the choice.
Chose Foxit eSign
eSign Genie has all of the features we needed when compared to other services but at a price point that better suited for our budget.
Chose Foxit eSign
[eSign Genie] is much easier to complete and modify forms and the customer support is great.
Chose Foxit eSign
In terms of value, eSign Genie beats DocuSign. The only advantage DocuSign has is that they are integrated with various applications and browsers.
Chose Foxit eSign
DocuSign didn't allow free-hand signatures when we were looking for a digital signature provider.
Chose Foxit eSign
Easier to use, easier for client's to use, and less expensive for my needs[.]
Chose Foxit eSign
Adobe Sign, despite coming from one of the best known brands in software, is the most frustrating and poorly-supported platform I've ever used.

HelloSign and Pandadoc are good platforms - although the cost a bit more than eSignGenie, they are ahead on some features (not all)... …
Chose Foxit eSign
Ease of use and affordability separate [eSign Genie] from its competitors[.]
Chose Foxit eSign
eSign Genie was super easy to use and much more economical. It competes well with Adobe and accomplishes the same thing at a fraction of the cost. It took minutes to get this going.
Chose Foxit eSign
I dumped DocuSign because I could not get any customer service from them. They seem to work via email and consistently replied to EVERY customer service request I had with "We were unable to reach you so we will be closing this issue." After the third time they did this (with …
Chose Foxit eSign
I only compared this to DocuSign and the price difference is vast. Our small business can't afford the cost of DocuSign.
Chose Foxit eSign
Neither DocuSign or Adobe (echosign) offered all the features I needed like condition fields. Plus, with [their] inability to offer any real quality customer support switching was the best thing for us. Also, since eSign Genie was 75% less expensive [it] was an easy decision …
Chose Foxit eSign
eSign Genie made contacting customer support way easier than any other platform! I was able to get my questions answered and negotiate a contract within hours instead of weeks.
Chose Foxit eSign
I liked the variety of options that Adobe had for creating fields, checkboxes and the fact that you didn't have to have a coding field. For example you could create a checkbox {{[]}} with this type of coding, where eSign Genie requires a whole line of coding to get a checkbox …
Chose Foxit eSign
eSign Genie stacks up with Adobe Sign. I find that the functionality of eSign Genie is easier to navigate and I think the option to include a personal note or instruction. I'm not able to do that with Adobe Sign. The pricing is so much more reasonable for eSign Genie and I see …
Chose Foxit eSign
I have not used any other products like this. But, I am happy with eSign Genie and have no plans to change software for the company.
Chose Foxit eSign
The price point is better than other products and allows all the same features. The learning curve is low and there’s multi functional across the organization.
Chose Foxit eSign
We have used other e-sign platforms, but we have found that eSign Genie, although not a huge company, has performed well and met our needs on every level. I especially like how there is no monthly subscription, and we can have access to all input field types without having to …
Chose Foxit eSign
Best thing is the customer support, super quick and friendly and the good correlation of price/product.
Chose Foxit eSign
Seem less professional and harder to use, slightly less easy to use than DocuSign. The price is much better though and I've found it does just as well. Not sure how it stacks up legally-wise to DocuSign?
Chose Foxit eSign
We selected based in security and price. The others has high implementation fees as well
PDF Sign&Seal
Chose PDF Sign&Seal
PDF Sign&Seal is very intuitive and does not have a crazy high learning curve. Even a high-level exec who isn't computer savvy can use it without much difficulty. This is why we chose this software ultimately to help expedite getting signatures needed for vendor contracts …

eSign Genie has completely streamlined our tedious document process and helps us to easily manage our documents from signature to delivery and even with ongoing storage. This enhancement saves us time, money, and headaches and has been a true lifesaver for our organization and for our customers. I highly recommend it!

PDF Sign&Seal is perfect if you have documents that need to be signed electronically. It may not be an excellent choice if you work off a mobile device or are on the road a majority of the time as there are better app alternatives that do a similar job signing docs electronically for you.

Cons
  • User documentation could be better.
  • Requiring the field coding to be hidden makes it difficult to make adjustments.
  • I'd like to see where customers are in the signing process - whether they've opened and viewed documents.
  • If the document has been delegated, seeing a clear trail of the paperwork with email addresses including in the tracking.

The tool is inexpensive and good value. We don't need a ton of eSign capabilities and this one provides what we need for a low cost given our low volume.

Support Rating
eSign Genie has live chat support virtually twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. They also have phone and email support as well. On the few occasions that I have had to contact support, they were very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. It's been a pleasure working with the folks at eSign Genie.

There is no implementation at all. You just sign up, upload your documents, set up the fields to complete, and you are done!

Adobe Sign, despite coming from one of the best known brands in software, is the most frustrating and poorly-supported platform I've ever used. HelloSign and PandaDoc are good platforms - although the cost a bit more than eSignGenie, they are ahead on some features (not all)... depending on your exact use case, I'd consider them. However, for my simple use case, eSigngenie is the clear winner!

Return on Investment
  • Creating a document that is easy for a client to understand and complete is a game changer. We are already experiencing a higher document completion rate than when we were with either DocuSign or Adobe (echosign)
  • With the number of completed documents on the rise with our company, having the incredible pricing structure that eSign Genie offers is a huge money saver for us
  • Not having to spend so much time with clients explaining how to complete the forms is saving us huge in customer support cost.
