Acrobat Sign isn't quite as user friendly as other E-Sign platforms I have used. However, it offers a wide range of features that provide convenience and efficiency. For example, I can have multiple people receive the same document separately, or I can have multiple people receive and review the exact same document. I also like that I can choose to set a signing order or not, this is important for when I send Offer Letters and other things that require order of approvals.
The app is quite versatile - as for me, I've been using it at work for some time and can't say that the problems that I have listed affect the general impression of the platform. Apart from using it at work, DottedSign is also pretty good for personal tasks, if you have to sign something on the go and so on. It's great for keeping track of the entire signing process and making sure everybody is on the same page with the help of reminders and such.
Adobe Acrobat Sign tracks whether or not a signer has viewed a document
Adobe Acrobat Sign tracks when a signer has signed, and the document has been sent to the next signer
Adobe Acrobat Sign sends you confirmation emails and progress update emails along the way
Adobe Acrobat Sign provides a "confirmation of signing" page at the end of the document package you put together, to prove the signatures are authentic
Of course DottedSign isn't the first one to show how convenient e-signatures are, but in my opinion the creators really nailed it because it's both easy-to-use and also pleasant to work with due to the nice and intuitive interface and truly helpful tools.
Another point I'd like to make is the reminders feature is really nice - anyone who hasn't yet signed their part gets an email notification to speed them along.
Another thing that I like that there's no need to contact customer support to figure anything out - just download the app and get going.
Builds on Adobe platform so it is easy to utilize, but many features require enterprise subscription.
Integrations available but your CRM integration is only available with enterprise license.
Lots of templates but there are additional templates with enterprise only and there was no drag and drop editor.
Adobe captures some analytical metrics but many of the analytics we required were not available - specifically metrics related to how the tool converts and reduces use time by our team and the impact on clients.
Well, the synchronization feature isn't perfect - when you log in into your account on the browser version, for instance, you need to wait for a couple of minutes to load a file that you have already loaded in the app.
Apart from that, the platform doesn't allow you to rotate blank windows to add a date or signatures and sometimes documents are scanned upside down, and you have to edit them subsequently, which is time consuming.
It is by far the easiest service we have used to obtain digital signatures from employees. In the past we had done it by hand (a process I would not recommend for 1500+ employees) and with another company that would not allow us to create our own forms and would charge us for each form.
I've had very little trouble with it in all my uses with it. I do wish the text boxes you add wouldn't cut off the text if you entered too many words and that it would adjust it's size to fit within the space you've provided. However, that just takes a little refining in the initial set up of the document before you send it out.
I would have rated this a 9 or greater had they not had had such critical outages. They have taken steps to resolve this so I may come in and revise this
The Adobe Acrobat Sign's performance are excellent.
When we send electronic document by email for signature all the customers receive it regularly, nobody has any issue to open it and the signature phase was very easy. The user-friendly aspect of this product reduce or reset the call for IT support
It is a great tool to get signatures from the client and has reduced a lot of overhead that was caused before resulting in very long delays. With the integration of Adobe Acrobat Sign, we have reduced this delay making the process much smoother and more efficient.
The best types of training are well integrated into the product and Echosign does this well. As mentioned earlier in my review - there are some areas of functionality that can be difficult to understand ("only I sign") for the novice user. Other areas such as macro usage, bulk signature and so on were easily learned and understood via the online tools.
We did not use it in the manner that most companies do, so I am pleased with how our company handled implementation. We will be pushing the full company over into Echosign for various processes which will incorporate more of an implementation effect.
They are just different. Adobe's number one feature that puts it above it's competitors is that your document, the signing process, all of it exists within Adobe. There is no need to go from Word, to Adobe, to DocuSign. It saves you time and makes life easy for you (and for your clients).
eversign wasn't quite as good because of how the interface was designed. I don't think that for a software with such simple features the interface should be so piled on. While DottedSign's interface is one of its strongest features.
At the beginning we assigned Adobe Acrobat Sign just to Purchase Office Department because at that moment we needed a tool that supported us to avoid manual signature and was compliance with remote working.
Now we are using it also in other situation because it help us with time and we can also reduce cost
I think after we started using DottedSign at our company, we're achieving our goals a little faster due to less time being spent on traveling to meet clients and so on, and with the process being more streamlined, it's easier. to pay attention to other parts that might have been neglected before.
We got a bit more new clients in the last quarter, but it might be due to different reasons, but I think DottedSign played a part.
Also, having all the newly signed contracts digitized and available on the cloud gives us a peace of mind.
