Featured Reviews

Kerry Shumake - PeerSpot reviewer
Program Caseworker at a performing arts with 51-200 employees
Has improved document tracking and team collaboration but formatting inconsistencies have caused delays
I find the new updated formatting and template system in DocuSign problematic. When I format and create content in their new updated system, the preview looks different from what I see during editing. I must take manual notes to adjust page breaks, add or remove content because it formats completely different between preview and editing screen. When moving content from Word, the formatting doesn't remain consistent. I preferred the classic editor. While there is a Word add-in that could potentially alleviate this issue, I don't have access to it due to system administration restrictions. This is my biggest challenge, making template creation more time-consuming than necessary. In DocuSign, when I have signatures on both the left-hand and right-hand side of the page, the spacing should remain consistent. Currently, they overlap when signed, forcing me to create a new line item for each signature, which unnecessarily lengthens the document.
Todd Blake - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior IT Specialist at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
A stable solution that provides businesses the ability to create and secure documents whenever needed
The administrative user interface used to create users and track templates and envelopes for our product is outdated. Now we're on the AssureSign side and not the Nintex side, so I don't know if they are different products. If Nintex AssureSign is one product, then they have given it an outdated feel and look. If I had more experience with other similar programs, like DocuSign, that I used years ago, I might have been able to give more concrete or better feedback on what additional features are to be included in the tool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I appreciate that I can see when they've viewed the document, when they've signed the document, and the status of the document, which is probably my favorite feature in DocuSign."
"The cost for DocuSign is not cheap, however, it's worth it in the long run."
"The most valuable feature of DocuSign is its ability to save time."
"This has reduced the need for paper approvals and has also reduced the recurring purchase of paper rims and other printer consumables in the organization and is leading us to our paperless roadmap."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"Very convenient, saves dealing with hard copies of documents."
"DocuSign has definitely impacted my organization with efficiency gain; it's much faster and easier to get approvals than routing documents manually for signature through email."
"DocuSign has changed how my team works together as we can collaborate via web because it is pretty easy."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten because they really help us."
 

Cons

"We'd like to have some integration with some of our IT services."
"If the workflow becomes heavy, the system slows down, requiring consultation with the team to get the workflow load relieved."
"There are sometimes delays in user communication."
"The biggest friction point I have encountered with DocuSign is that I would implement MFA or some kind of verification mechanism while signing documents with DocuSign so that I can eliminate phishing incidents."
"I find the new updated formatting and template system in DocuSign problematic. When I format and create content in their new updated system, the preview looks different from what I see during editing."
"Resolution from customer service and their response rate in resolving issues needs to be improved."
"DocuSign's mobile application could be better. It has some compatibility issues."
"I would like for this solution to send me a copy of the signed document automatically."
"The solution's initial setup process was a bit complex…The administrative user interface used to create users and track templates and envelopes for our product is outdated."
"Currently, merge mapping can only be done within a specific object. If we want to do a merge mapping for related objects, we need to create a lot of automation."
