Considered Both Products
OneSpan Sign
Chose OneSpan Sign
Both products had similar functions, but I found that OneSpan Sign just had the edge when it came to use ability and user experience. It is very clear how to use the system and it integrates very well into our business. Are use it on a regular basis, and even though I’ve tried …
Chose OneSpan Sign
OneSpan was more affordable than DocuSign.
Chose OneSpan Sign
we realized some insurance companies are using OneSpan and also our admin office uses the same program. Therefore, it is more friendly in terms of everyone knowing software.
Chose OneSpan Sign
OneSpan Sign had better audit history capability and better pricing.
Chose OneSpan Sign
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 …
Chose OneSpan Sign
All other evaluated tools allowed for changes within the document after the first signature. Within OneSpan this action kicked off a completely new signing process. This along with the security compliance was our main factor for approval.
Chose OneSpan Sign
Docusign wanted $1500/mo for access to the equivalent feature set of creating links to standard forms.
Chose OneSpan Sign
I haven't used a competitor nor would I as esignlive meets our needs.
Chose OneSpan Sign
eSignLive has made it easy to send and receive documents. No other program has been as user friendly as it is!
Chose OneSpan Sign
We are being introduced to similar products; I'm loyal, but any improvement with the unlocking of documents, and yearly subscription cost would make me more loyal!
Chose OneSpan Sign
DocuSign was probably one of the alternatives but to be honest we just did not evaluate alternatives at all. We were simply happy to integrate easily with an approved (by our financial institution) eSign product. We just moved from the POC to a "That's a go" decision given the …
Chose OneSpan Sign
I didn't research alternatives since I was approached directly.
Chose OneSpan Sign
I was told that the other services may have a better API but for our needs, the cheaper the better and eSign Live's prices could not be beat. I believe that DocuSign's similar product was roughly four times as much as what we are currently spending on eSign Live.
Chose OneSpan Sign
Our primary market is the enterprise. We reviewed other tools at the outset but these are small to medium scale tools trying to move into the enterprise, mostly with public cloud only offerings. We needed a platform with a proven record in the enterprise with options like …
Chose OneSpan Sign
DocuSign has a reminder function if the paperwork is not complete. You just click Remind and it sends the person a reminder to complete.
Chose OneSpan Sign
We've used a few other programs for sponsorships, and looked into using them for scholarships but the cost was in the thousands to create an additional form. eSignLive was much more cost-effective for our department as our organization was already using it for other forms (I …
Chose OneSpan Sign
It all comes down to workflow and UX. e-SignLive is the superior choice when it comes to these factors. The product lays out the signing process in an easy-to-follow format that is easy to understand both from the client side and the customer side. As a SaaS user, security was …
Chose OneSpan Sign
We were also considering Docusign but with the similarity of product and functional offering, it boiled down to price and possibly a better support system.
Chose OneSpan Sign
e-SignLive provided us with more cost control options around implementing and using the service than competitors. e-SignLive seems to offer stronger legal and audit attention to details around electronic signature processing.
Chose OneSpan Sign
no one
Chose OneSpan Sign
I dont have the feeling it's as secure or recognized as E-SignLive.
Chose OneSpan Sign
It is not so expensive, and easy to use.
PandaDoc
Chose PandaDoc
I find it easier to automate and create templates in PandaDoc. Specifically the templates. Also, connecting through API is easier (our IT team says so, I'm not qualified to evaluate that). Pricing is also something important, when we acquired PandaDoc it was cheaper so we were …
Chose PandaDoc
PandaDoc is a less clunky user experience, not only on the signature process and review, but also on the document creation process.
Chose PandaDoc
PandaDoc is equal to DocuSign in every significant way except for its level of adoption; however, the pricing of PandaDoc is so much better that it's clearly the best choice for our firm.
Chose PandaDoc
ease of use and simplicity for the customer experience
Chose PandaDoc
PandaDoc has a simple, integrated eSignature component, which is our primary reason for using it over its competitors.
Chose PandaDoc
We used Dropbox back when it was still HelloSign. At the time, new templates were very hard to create. We had to upload a PDF and then add the fields from there. With PandaDoc, we are able to drag and drop the text, images, logos, and fields we need easily. This has saved our …
Chose PandaDoc
While great, HubSpot Sales Hub creates agreements and collectible payments but is not as UX/UI friendly as PandaDoc.
Chose PandaDoc
PandaDoc and DocuSign are very similar in functionality and design, but I prefer to use PandaDoc's interface. It is so easy to use and I prefer PandaDoc's interface and UI. It feels a little cleaner and a little more professional to me when compared with DocuSign's interface …
Chose PandaDoc
much better. The pricing structures worked a lot better than the other companies because we are a small clinic
Chose PandaDoc
PandaDoc provided similar features and functionality at a better price, but the "tipping point" was integrated e-signatures.
Chose PandaDoc
To be able to block certain fields within templates and contracts, so that the commercial team can negotiate the rest and adapt them but cannot change those purely legal clauses that should not be negotiated or changed without the approval of the legal department. I also find …
Chose PandaDoc
We briefly used Proposify, and it had some nice options for creating more ascetically pleasing proposals and contracts. However, it was far more time-consuming, and any gain in asceticism did not outweigh the significant loss in efficiency, simplicity, and reliability of using …
Chose PandaDoc
There is no comparison. PandaDoc is far superior to any others I've seen. That's why I moved my company over when I saw the were using docusign
Chose PandaDoc
Conga was difficult to build template contracts and not as simple to set up templates, etc., for our sales contracts as Pandadoc has been (simple drag-and-drop in Pandadoc). The automation and integration between our Salesforce and Conga accounts were not working correctly, so …
Chose PandaDoc
We chose PandaDoc for its ease of use and tools that allow a professional feel. The convenience for our clients to review and sign agreements also helped us make the decision to go with PandaDoc.
Chose PandaDoc
We looked at DocuSign before PandaDocs, and while they are a well-known and good product, we felt their basic content was lacking compared to PandaDoc. We felt we got more bang for our buck, and the navigation seemed better. Plus, we get a dedicated rep with PandaDoc.
Chose PandaDoc
All very similar offerings. PandaDoc is one of the few that provided an approval workflow that we required.
Chose PandaDoc
We still use Quickbooks for invoicing but are looking into other products that integrate with PD better than Quickbooks. That way we can quote and invoice from PD.
Chose PandaDoc
I can't say I know enough about the credentials of either to comment.

User Testimonials
OneSpan SignPandaDoc
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

As an alternative to other electronic signature mechanisms, I can't recommend PandaDoc more highly. It works, plain and simple. It is less costly - by a lot - than most alternatives, stores signed documents online for easy access, is simple to use by both our staff and our clients, and makes our lives far easier.

Pros
  • 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.
Read full review
  • PandaDoc allows our team to create and send detailed sales proposals and quotes with the use of their templates.
  • The use of collaborative editing is also beneficial because our team is able to have multiple users edit and comment on documents simultaneously.
  • Document tracking is useful because we are able to receive real-time notifications and updates on the proposal process.

Cons
  • 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

  • I would like to see the ability to LOCK a field instead of locking an entire block or document.
  • I would like to see more standard features that need to be part of the service instead of add-ons.
  • Would like to see an option to allow different levels of users than just the two standard options.

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.

We have been using it for a few years now and find it vital to getting our bids out quickly and accurately to our customers. We can get a request for information from a customer and once we have their basic parameters create a professional bid in minutes. It's actually usually harder to find out what the customer wants than to use PandaDoc and create a document with it

Usability

Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. There can be a slightly steep learning curve to get fully in on the system. The new editor v2 has really improved usability and allows us to collaborate on documents simultaneously. Once the templates and library items are set up, a new document, whether it be a sales or HR document, takes very little time to complete.

Performance
No answers on this topic
As I mentioned earlier - performance is near perfect as I can create, send, adjust my documents. I love the tracking feature as well as I can tell when my documents have been seen and by whom. The only issue I have run into is with saving and formatting - occasionally the file document does not save with the newly assigned name or the content of the document does not stay formatted nicely.

Support Rating
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.

Recently I could not upload a pdf to a contract - support was very responsive and easy to work with. They got back to me the next day with an apparent fix - however when I opened the document nothing had changed. I then could not respond to the rep who was helping me because it was a "no-reply address", the problem still has not been solved and we had to make alternate arrangements to get this to the client. Never had it happen before and was only with this one contract.

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.

PandaDoc is a more polished, professional, and 'legitimate' software site than other solutions, since PandaDoc really specializes in creating professional proposals, quotes and invoices. The eSignature capacity and pricing table capacity embedded in the documents as well as fillable fields, pre-made, customizable and reusable templates also make PandaDoc stand out.

  • It has significantly reduced the time that it used to take to open a new account.

  • We have greatly increased the efficiency in which we can get signatures from individuals for documents and increase productivity.
  • We have been able to find older documents very easily.
  • W-9 have been very difficult due to Section 3, but this was addressed with conditional logic
