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.
airSlate SignNow
Chose airSlate SignNow
In addition to SignNow, I've seen or used DocuSign, Adobe Sign, and DropBox. DocuSign is the most famous, but I found it a bit complicated to use at first. Adobe Sign is also good, but I felt it was more "heavy", with more stuff than we really need. I found Drobox to be very …
Chose airSlate SignNow
The price was a big decision on choosing airSlate SignNow. airSlate SignNow was simple to setup.
Chose airSlate SignNow
We were a former user of DocuSign. We decided to switch, mainly due to DocuSign being a prohibitively high price and SignNow offer very similar features for a more affordable price.
Chose airSlate SignNow
I chose airSlate SignNow over DocuSign due to its user-friendly interface, cost-effectiveness, and swift implementation. SignNow's intuitive design simplifies the e-signature process, ensuring a seamless experience. Additionally, its competitive pricing model aligns with my …
Chose airSlate SignNow
I chose airSlate SignNow over DocuSign primarily due to the superior ease of use and a more intuitive user interface (UI). airSlate SignNow's UI stood out with its simplicity and well-thought-out design, making the entire process of signing and managing documents much more …
Chose airSlate SignNow
SignNow is more user-friendly and inviting. The platform is also cleaner and clearer and easier to understand. At the time that we made the switch to SignNow, it provided more functionality and the ability to have a more personalized experience when using the product than …
Chose airSlate SignNow
I chose SignNow because of the direct signing link available - I could not find other signature software that had that feature.
Chose airSlate SignNow
We looked at several different offerings such as HelloSign and DocuSign, but SignNow offered the same basic options for a lot less money. It was easy to implement and very user friendly. We didn't need a lot of bells and whistles which the other guys offered which honestly just …
Chose airSlate SignNow
Docusign was robust and great, but was expensive.
Chose airSlate SignNow
SignNow doesn't offer 3 x free documents to be signed monthly, and requires a subscription vs a pay-per-use, which is where Secured Signing shines. Secured Signing also has video verification and additional security measures that SignNow doesn't have. However, I find SignNow to …
Chose airSlate SignNow
The most cost-effective platform for our size and needs. Some had barriers such as needing to download an application or not a household name, and thus, needed some more "pointing out" and following up with. SignNow also has a great, Incognito Alerts setting where you can …
Chose airSlate SignNow
DocuSign has better integration with other programs but sign now is less expensive and better for our bottom line.
Chose airSlate SignNow
Have stuck with SignNow over the last few years for the price and covering of basic functionality. Does what it needs to do on a daily basis. DocuSign is super pricey (they charge on a cost per send model, which baffles me). SignNow is unlimited. HelloSign was also a good cheap …
Chose airSlate SignNow
I have only used the Adobe program a couple of times, but it seemed like it was harder to use. I might give it another chance at some point in the future, but right now, it feels a little bit like it is new and isn't quite ready for prime-time.
Chose airSlate SignNow
I am not the one who investigates or decides on the programs.
Chose airSlate SignNow
It comes at about half the cost and has all the same features, so SignNow was an obvious choice.
Chose airSlate SignNow
SignNow was the cheapest option at the time, so the decision to use it was driven by the cost alone, given the feature parity.
Chose airSlate SignNow
The biggest difference between DocuSign and SignNow is the price! SignNow is so very affordable as compared to DocuSign which was the initial draw. I do not have any loyalty to another software just because it may be popular or widely used by others, I'm looking for a …
Chose airSlate SignNow
I currently use eSign Genie because it offers per use pricing options. However, I find the interface to be more confusing. It is more confusing for me and more confusing for the recipient signing documents.
Chose airSlate SignNow
DocuSign has benefits as well but the pricing is prohibitive for what I need on a day to day basis. SignNow gets the job done at a price I can afford. Its value proposition is good and I have very few issues with it.
Chose airSlate SignNow
We were comparing the two and in the end, we liked the ability to use the kiosk mode provided by SignNow and the pricing structure seemed more reasonable.
Chose airSlate SignNow
I liked EchoSign when I had signed up. I moved to SignNow (which was CudaSign when I signed up) and paid a lot less. It was inexpensive enough at the time where I could overlook the bad design since AdobeSign (then EchoSign) had a great interface. Fields were easier top place …
Chose airSlate SignNow
When compared to Docusign, I find that SignNow does as well of a job. I have used both software and have never had any issues with either. I have no problem recommending one or the other to friends or family. Both are great products and I will continue to use either when …
Chose airSlate SignNow
When reviewing programs for use I found for the price and ease of use SignNow was by far the best choice. I used the trial period for both products and involved persons of all levels and at the end of the day found that SignNow was the right choice for our business use.

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.

SignNow is particularly useful for simple documents, forms and contracts where there the fields are pretty standards- names, signature block, title. It would be helpful to have features that allow substitution of certain fill in the blanks such that allow you to use the same template but first have a dialog to integrate language for a person, corporation, partnership or LLP. I'm a lawyer and having the ability to assemble variation of this nature into one template would be helpful. Also (and it may do this) the ability to change the actual form/document within the a template would be useful.

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

  • When using shared templates, the option to rename the document is at the bottom of the signatures page. I would like that to be visible sooner as some of my team misses it and sends documents to clients with the templated name instead of the correct name because they forgot to scroll down far enough to see it.
  • CC'ed contacts used to show suggestions as you typed the email if you've sent that person a document before, but that functionality no longer shows on our account. I'd like to see that brought back.
  • It would be nice if we could add folders to our documents page so that we could sort sent and signed documents into individual client folders. The search feature works fine, but folders would help clean up the view for my team.

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.

Usability

I gave it a 9 because the system is very easy to use, even for those who are not very familiar with digital signatures. It is all very intuitive, you can send, sign and track documents without any complications. I only didn't give it a 10 because sometimes it gets stuck when the file is large (very rare but it happens) or there are a lot of people to sign, and then you have to keep resending it and also, as I mentioned, the dedicated support would be interesting in case of emergency. Dei 9 porque o sistema é bem fácil de usar, mesmo pra quem não é muito familiarizado com essas coisas de assinatura digital. É tudo bem intuitivo, dá pra enviar, assinar e acompanhar os docs sem complicação. Só não dei 10 porque às vezes ele dá umas travadas quando o arquivo é pesado (muito dificil mais acontece) ou tem muita gente pra assinar, e aí precisa ficar reenviando e também como comentei do suporte dedicado que seria interessante em caso de urgência

SignNow is always available when I need it. It seems that most updates occur outside of business hours so I have full functionality when I need it most between the hours of 8am-6pm EST. There has only been I time when I experience application errors when I need to use the system but it did not last long and the issue was resolved within a few hours.

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.

I only used SignNow support when setting up. I uploaded a bunch of documents in the wrong place and needed assistance in moving them. Unfortunately they were not able to move the documents and I needed to upload into a different place. This is where I feel the system itself could benefit from some flexibility for their customers.

It was nice to be shown the basics of the system and be able to see or understand the specific functions our company would need to use, such as the template creation, document grouping and document group templates. Being taught on how to use these functions, made learning them much easier.
