Chose Dropbox Sign
I think all similar platforms can support smaller features, but Dropbox Sign might be easier to use, cost-effective, and friendly for new users and organizations that have no experience using it as an e-signature platform. Once I have a great experience, I would highly …
Chose Dropbox Sign
PandaDoc has an interface that isn't as simple but once you get used to it, it's really not bad. The biggest con is that I've had issues when using it where it glitches or just isn't loading. I think it's been issues on the back end that required ticketing. In the end, I didn't …
Chose Dropbox Sign
In my opinion, customer service is lacking. I believe they are unethical -- in my experience, they cancelled my membership despite asking them to only stop auto-billing. My account shows the membership was canceled but, I believe they still stole my $1630! Only reason I knew is …
Chose Dropbox Sign
Very similar program. I cannot say how different they are because I have not used DocuSign in some time.
Chose Dropbox Sign
Great software, however the integration of the Dropbox cloud in tandem with this is amazing and simpler than this great competitor for an all in one solution.
Chose Dropbox Sign
Dropbox seemed easier to use and cheaper than the others. It was just as functional.
Chose Dropbox Sign
Hellosign the easiest out of the class that we use. It is just super quick. We use eversign to get some extra templates, but it is pretty clunky for sending contracts.
Chose Dropbox Sign
It's useful that Dropbox Sign is connected with other apps (like fax), that's something the competitors I've used don't have.
Chose Dropbox Sign
So much better, specifically because of the lack of a limit. Focusing limits the total amount of docs you can sign per year and is more expensive. This product has similar if not slightly easier/Better functionality, and it’s for a much better price point. Would highly …
Chose Dropbox Sign
This is my first time using a tool like DropBox Sign and the reason I chose it is because the price was right for a small business with one user and I had a great customer service rep chatting with me that answered all of my questions very completely and efficiently.
Chose Dropbox Sign
Falls a little short but not too bad
Chose Dropbox Sign
Simpler to use and easier interface on your eyes
Chose Dropbox Sign
10 out of 10 times I will choose DocuSign moving forward over DropBox Sign. I hated how horrible their technical support was in solving my issue.
Chose Dropbox Sign
Docusign is fine, but Dropbox Sign provides far more flexibility and will scale with your business. Docusign seems to nickel and dime you every step of the way.
Chose Dropbox Sign
It stacks up pretty well, I do think some of the templates I've seen are a bit lacking with Dropbox sign.
PDF AutoSigner
Chose PDF AutoSigner
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 …
Chose PDF AutoSigner
We use Penneo on other cases. It's not exactly a 1-1 competitor to PDF AutoSigner, at least it has a different use case in our company. Penneo is primarily used by HR and local businesses to sign contracts. But the PDF AutoSigner is really great for signing internal papers from …

Likelihood to Recommend
Cross functionally this product is great and the reminders/ email notifications are super helpful. Also signers who are not familiar with Dropbox sign have no problem using the tool. I find it super user friendly. I have found its a little harder to use when a signer has an agent (not a party signing the doc) and the agent wants to review prior to the person signing.

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
  • Allows customization for each client.
  • Gives us all the room we need to create a thorough contract.
  • Allows us to save each executed contract as a PDF.
  • Looks like a pricey, professionally drawn-up contract.
  • The ability to send a new customer a professional-looking contract like this makes us look "bigger" than we are.

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

Cons
  • It would be nice to be able to build a template for just the location of the signature boxes that would allow me to upload a document, and the boxes could be basically replaced. I have the exact same doc for each of my clients, but there are small changes here and there, and I have to fill in their personal info through another program, so it would be nice to be able to do a template this way instead of just tying a template to one document.

It's a great software and we will continue to use it. It's a great time and money saver when it comes to legal contracts and makes the process easy for both sides who need to sign or add information to a document or contract. We definitely need our contracts to be legally binding and HelloSign provides this for us

Usability
It works well for it's intended use, I feel like some of the features can improve a bit and it's recently received a bit of a face lift but over all it's been a really easy tool to utilize and implement and we've used it since we've opened.

Reliability and Availability
I have not encountered this because it was so easy to use however just seeing how they created a community is great and shows that they are here for their users. I am going to say I am sure they are available and ready to assist when needed. The fact that we have not yet experienced an outage and issues says a lot though :)

Again I cannot say it is enough this app is simple. We are preparing to be able to integrate with Salesforce and Sharepoint at a very small cost per user (these are the platforms we use) and it is great that they have the option to integrate these apps. We love this app

Support Rating
Support is limited to email only (for our subscription level), which might be OK for a e-signing platform if support was relatively rapid. This is not the case with HelloSign. Since the issues first arose a week ago, we have made no discernible progress in solving the problem. No matter how quickly I respond to a follow-up email, we receive only 1 email a day from the support. The other issue, which is a true edge case situation, is their insistence on receiving email from the same email account as the HelloSign registration. We changed our organizational email recently, and I was still logging into HS using our old email address. This became a hard stop on further support, which doesn't make sense on a practical level. Why would someone write in for support with specific issues if they weren't a customer? And if they did, wouldn't that be a miniscule proportion of the support requests? So if you adopt a policy that stops providing support to anyone who isn't verified, regardless of the situation, isn't that using a blunt instrument to solve a very rare issue? Reflects the overall organizational values, in my opinion, which is not to value the small customer.

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

Implementation Rating
I can not say it enough - this was the easiest implementation we have had with an application. I became an admin, I added the person who would be the back up admin, we moved forward with adding accounts and that was it. All the users we have were self sufficient enough to move forward with very little guidance and the guidance they received was in house.

Scalability
Between the easy to use app, the pricing, and the team at dropbox. This app is hands down great! Easy to use. Anyone can start using it and if not I am sure the team at dropbox will guide you to implement. The cost especially for us as a nonprofit is sustainable which is great.

Return on Investment
  • Faster time to contract signature-less overthinking because they sign with their finger on the phone with the sales rep.
  • Reduction of paper waste and organization.
  • Ease for sales reps to quickly choose and alter any agreement they need while on a call.

  • 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.
