It uses less resources on my machine than Adobe. I think it is much easier to use than Tungsten as well. Incentivized Helpful? SB Stephanie Betts Community Engagement Coordinator Chose Nitro Productivity Suite [I feel] Nitro doesn't have near the functionality of Adobe but it is significantly cheaper.

AL Austin Lin IT Operations Lead Chose Nitro Productivity Suite I think Adobe is probably the best PDF solution since they essentially developed and own the PDF format, but Nitro is a very good alternative and is more competitively priced.

I won't ever go back!! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Nitro Productivity Suite At the time, we evaluated Adobe Professional to help with some of the PDF modifications we were needing to accomplish.

User Testimonials
	Nitro Productivity Suite	OneSpan Sign
Likelihood to Recommend	I run a professional services business from home. I need to edit documents quickly and easily and with minimal subscriptions to minimize overheads. I love that Nitro is a one-off payment to get a license to the software, and you can simply upgrade to the latest version if that's what you want, but you're not obligated to. I've been using the same version of Nitro for 7-8 years now. Despite the fact the upgraded versions have a lot of great, nice-to-have features, the version I'm on still does the job. Incentivized Grant Millar Financial Planner and Money Coach Read full review	It is well suited for financial professional field. At the moment, i cannot think of area that will be less appropriate. It all comes down to if the admin office or head office can accept OneSpan as authorized software. Often enough, program can be very good but not recognized by head office due to its compliance issue. For example, in the Canadian regulatory rules for investments, sometimes it requires companies to process/store documents in the same country. If there is a cross border issue, it will be a big compliance issue. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Ability to combine files SEAMLESSLY and order them around as necessary (so underrated) Signing not only for yourself but for others. Helpful for those who have been granted the authority to sign for VPs and directors Much easier to use than some other PDF viewing services Incentivized Ariel Dunay Associate, Project Operations Read full review	One can set up a workflow in which one can specify the order in which signatures have to be done. Customer service is great and always ready to go the extra mile. Pricing is very transparent, and there are no hidden charges. Yamini Pandey Manager Read full review
Cons	Converting from PDF to Microsoft Word can be complicated at times. Some parts of a document such as tables are not converted properly. Sometimes it appears to be easier to save MS Word documents to PDF rather than using NPS to convert. It can be a bit slow to convert at times. In my view, it wasn't user friendly at the beginning. Incentivized AB Andrew Barnes Finance Officer Read full review	Search capabilities can be improved by a great extent. We still can't search documents by name of the signatory Pricing seems a bit high when compared with other players in the market Data importing and exporting capabilities can be improved drastically Tapan Jain Data Analyst Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	We will definitely be renewing the Nitro Productivity Suite. Saves the company a lot of money for something we use everyday Incentivized RR Rich Russo Network Engineer Read full review	I don't see any reasons to change as their solution covers all my need for now. I could make even more integrations but that might be something that I will do down the road. I'm used to working with the interface and my data is all there as well. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	For the most part, the entire software is extremely easy to navigate and use. You won't need to follow tutorials or anything for the bulk of the core features, as it's all pretty seamlessly designed. Incentivized Grant Millar Financial Planner and Money Coach Read full review	Easy to use design and tool Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Performance	It works as advertised. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Nitro checks all the boxes for what we need. It is fairly priced, it allows us to read and edit PDF documents, convert PDF to MS Word and convert MS Word to PDF. It allows us to combine multiple files and do all the post processing like adding page numbers and adding headers and footers Incentivized AL Austin Lin IT Operations Lead Read full review	The product is so well designed and built that we rarely need to reach out to customer service. But we have reached out to them in case of downtime, and we have always gotten a satisfactory response. We never had to follow up, as customer service executives were very responsible. Yamini Pandey Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Every 1-2 years will do a check on current PDF options to include trialing the software. Have tried Foxit and several that seem to have failed in the marketplace. Over the last 4 years, I have always stuck with Nitro. Unfortunately, we still need to keep Adobe Acrobat (free version) installed to view a small percentage of some PDFs we receive. Incentivized JG Jason Glazer President Read full review	My experience with OneSpan in the customer service has been very positive. However, since my experience with OneSpan is much more recent, most of my technical experience with OneSpan includes technical areas that were not available in other products at the time I was working with other products. Incentivized Khalid Jabr Director, Solutions Delivery Read full review
Return on Investment	Positive - Cheaper than Adobe Positive - Allows us to modify PDF documents from our clients to submit our proposals. Positive - Allows us to convert PDF documents to MS Word to share with our consultants and others without a PDF editor who contributes to our proposals. Negative - Need to upgrade to get the latest features/versions unlike something like MS/Office 365 where we just get updates automatically and free for the monthly fee. Maybe they will or need to move to a subscription solution versus a product price. Incentivized AL Austin Lin IT Operations Lead Read full review	It has done what we got it for. It has made it much easier for our advisers to do business with clients in remote areas. It has significantly reduced the time that it used to take to open a new account.
