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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Very convenient, saves dealing with hard copies of documents."
"This speeds up the sign-off process."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"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."
"We can structure the signature."
"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."
"DocuSign is easy to use. I also like the document tracking features."
"The solution is stable."
"I like that it works well for my company. I will not be switching to another solution. I don't have any complaints."
"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."
 

Cons

"There are sometimes delays in user communication."
"We'd like to have some integration with some of our IT services."
"Some people are not that computer-literate, and people don't understand the concept of the digital signature."
"I could always use better security around the solution."
"The support is not accessible sometimes to African businesses."
"It should automatically be datestamped beside the signature."
"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."
"DocuSign's mobile application could be better. It has some compatibility issues."
"In the next release, I would like more protection. Security is of the highest importance for our company."
"The area I think this solution can improve is user features."
"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."
