Allowing our clients to sign documents from where-ever they are as increased the speed of the workflow as well as client satisfaction. Pros DocuSign is the industry standard for e-signatures which is why we choose to use this product. Many of our team members and clients were already familiar with the product which made the ease of integrating it into our workflow relatively seamless. Furthermore, the security and compliance was important when researching products. DocuSign provides encryption and most importantly to us, audit trails. Cons As an admin, there was a learning curve during set up. Templates and workflows can be difficult to set up at first, however once set up, they are simple to replicate. Unfortunately, there can be issues and bugs which often times can be traced back to how the client is trying to open/e-sign but it can be difficult to explain virtually. Switched from [PandaDoc](https://www.capterra.com/p/131735/PandaDoc/) The switch was made because DocuSign is ultimately the most well known and well understood product on the market. Alternatives considered [Adobe Acrobat](https://www.capterra.com/p/251329/Adobe-Acrobat-DC/) Reasons for choosing Docusign We considered using Adobe Sign however deployment was much more difficult than DocuSign and is not as widely recognized.

It makes signing and managing documents fast, secure, and hassle-free. While it can be a bit pricey for occasional use, the convenience and reliability more than make up for it. Pros What I liked most about DocuSign is how fast and convenient it makes signing and sending documents.

Pros Docusign is our go-to signing platform for digital, audit-ready signings. It is clean, reliable, and well-known. Cons I don't have major gripes with it. Possibly I would like to be more easily able to input an alias for an individual signer and/or have two saved email addresses under each saved contact name. Switched from [Dropbox Sign](https://www.capterra.com/p/144797/HelloSign/) We actually were with Hellosign, but we changed to Docusign when Hellosign was acquired by Dropbox.
