Featured Reviews

Timpa D Angaye - PeerSpot reviewer
Reduces paper, makes collecting signatures easy and offers helpful workflow capabilities
Resolution from customer service and their response rate in resolving issues needs to be improved. When a ticket is raised, customer service actually contacts you for resolution. The issue is that they hardly resolve anything for you. They rather refer you to their FAQ or other links with tutorials. This could be frustrating as you may expect technical assistance, however, what you get is a link to a tutorial that usually may not solve the issue that has been raised. Their technical support team should engage more with customers when tickets are raised.
Claudio Chalom - PeerSpot reviewer
Prompt tech support; good pricing
Before we started using SignNow, we used to send enrollment agreements to our customers via email, manually asking them to sign those agreements. It was troublesome for them to print the agreements out, sign them, scan them, and then send them back. That was causing a lot of issues when it comes to getting the agreement before the actual contract starts. The reminder feature is also very important. When we send them this agreement electronically, it looks nice to the customer. Before we had this solution, we had about 30% of customers that didn't sign agreements. Now that we have SignNow, that number has dropped to less than five percent.

Pros

"This speeds up the sign-off process."
"DocuSign is easy to use. I also like the document tracking features."
"The solution is stable."
"We can structure the signature."
"What I have found to be the most valuable aspect of this solution is the fact that I don't have to go out and meet the other party in person. I can just take care of what I need to online."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"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."
"Very convenient, saves dealing with hard copies of documents."
"Before we had this solution, we had about 30% of customers that didn't sign agreements. Now that we have SignNow, that number has dropped to less than five percent."
"It was easy to send it around to only the relevant parties."
"I like that it works well for my company. I will not be switching to another solution. I don't have any complaints."
 

Cons

"There are sometimes delays in user communication."
"DocuSign's mobile application could be better. It has some compatibility issues."
"Resolution from customer service and their response rate in resolving issues needs to be improved."
"We'd like to have some integration with some of our IT services."
"Moving the boxes around can be a bit annoying, so the AI element in the UI should be significantly improved to make the process smoother."
"The support is not accessible sometimes to African businesses."
"I would like for this solution to send me a copy of the signed document automatically."
"I could always use better security around the solution."
"In the next release, I would like more protection. Security is of the highest importance for our company."
"I'm not sure if this option was available; however, after having the form signed, I had to send it to a third party that would take the form and deals with it. There wasn't an option to have the forms, once signed, to a third party."
"The area I think this solution can improve is user features."
