### "No Other Services Fit our Needs until eSign Genie"

November 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

eSign Genie allows tons of customization. We are an accounting and tax practice and send documents frequently for both our own purposes (contracts, engagement letters) and documents that need to be filled out and forwarded to the IRS and other tax authorities. These documents need real signatures, not the type-written signatures that most eSign software lets clients use. With eSign Genie, we can limit our clients to only have the option to draw their actual signature, allowing us to use this for more documents than our previous solution. Also - I cannot speak highly enough of eSign Genie's Pay-as-you-Go plan. Most eSign providers no longer (or never did) offer this type of plan, and it is perfect for my type of business that doesn't necessarily need to send hundreds of documents per month. I pay a $10 fee for 5 documents at a time, and they don't expire. When I run out, I just "top up" with 5 more documents at a clip.

Cons

I really haven't seen anything negative about eSign Genie as of yet. The only small issue sometimes is the speed - I've had a few clients say that it is sometimes slow to load, but it's infrequent - so not enough of a problem for me to look elsewhere. (Trust me, I have already looked elsewhere and was utterly dissatisfied!)

Pros

Ease of setting up and modifying templates, and tracking execution while sending reminders are excellent features

### "Issue with renewal, customer service and follow up procedures"

November 14, 2024

1.0

Customer service is hardly available, phone waits are outrageously long. Every option to being transfer on the recorder prompts back to an initial menu unless you pick specific options. As I am writing this today, I already called thrice for an issue we've been having since October and this is for a renewal already approved, with a set quotation and pricing already agreed upon. We ran out of envelopes because of this and can't work properly. I have been waiting on a chat response for over an hour as well. We receive emails regarding the tickets and we respond, but don't get a follow up back even though we give our approval on the solution to our issue. The experience was definitively better when it was under eSign Genie. I don't know why you offer a renewal if you are not going to comply when we gave a green light months ago.

Pros

Hardly anything positive to say about what's to like, given the recent experience.

Cons

Customer service is disorganised, lacks communication within themselves, follow ups are ambiguous even though we give approval on the solutions of our issues. Agents take forever to respond, don't give a promised callback either and the ticket is still ongoing.

September 30, 2021

5.0

Overall super happy with the product

Pros

The fact that I can set up templates very quickly, its super user friendly, and has super helpful guides / faqs

Cons

When editing a document before sending out, I have to be careful or it sends it through without having made those changes without asking if I need to edit the document

### "Cost effective!"

December 6, 2021

4.0

Pros

I enjoy the ability to create individualized templates and the only limitation is my creativity.

Cons

I do not like having to re-upload a PDF and re place signature/initial fields etc. when I need to revise a document template. Takes forever.

### "Good features and I love the pay as you go pricing"

August 6, 2019

5.0

I use eSign Genie to execute residential leases. Being able to sign electronically is great. It saves the tenant time because they don't have to print and scan the lease. It saves me time because I can reuse templates instead of doing each lease separate. I don't have to drive to get contracts signed. It is awesome.

Pros

What I find the most useful about eSign Genie is that I can pay for their services as needed. The other companies we looked at all want a monthly fee whether we use the service or not. In my case, I only need the service two times a year. eSign Genie gives me the flexibility I want!

Cons

I suppose the interface could be a little more intuitive. The software is very powerful and because it has lots of capabilities, the interface can be a little confusing if you just jump right in.

I only an eSign service twice a year for about 25 documents total. SignNow tried to greatly increase the cost of my renewal. Their cost was too much to justify the service.

### "Decent eSign tool for your organization"

January 12, 2025

5.0

It is a convenient and secure eSign tool for you organization. My experience with Foxit eSign has been great.

Pros

Instead of printing and scanning documents physically, you can directly eSign them using Foxit e-sign which saves your time and money significantly. It provides you detailed information on document signing sequences and progress. You can enable automatic reminders for your documents to speed up the document signing process. It sends another reminder to recipients to sign the document. Even you can set an expiration day for your document.

Cons

We never faced any issues with Foxit eSign so far.

August 31, 2025

5.0

Pros

Very similar to other mainstream e-sign app. It is secure and efficient enough to have a PDF signature processed without a hiccup

Cons

There's nothing bad I can say about this for the purpose that I'm using this application for. Very much straightforward in terms of getting a signature

September 2, 2025

Pros

This was actually easy to use - it was a tool we were asked to use for contract management by a client.

Cons

December 2, 2021

5.0

Pros

Its ease of use and flexibility. The cost really knocks it out of the ballpark as it is extremely affordable.

Cons

I wish that I could do multi-level branding since we own and operate multiple properties, just having one company name for branding can make it difficult since oftentimes each user needs specific branding.

### "Great dashboard and easy-to-use platform"

August 11, 2021

5.0

After we needed to find an alternative to our previous e-signature program, I researched practically all of the programs out there, and this was the best bang for buck. Now, after using this for several months, I have to say that I find it hard to believe there is a better program out there for less or more money. This was easy to learn and teach others how to use. The customer support is fantastic, and they host live training sessions to ensure that you can make the most out of the everyday features as well as those more customized features such as adding your logo to documents.

Pros

First, I really like how easy it is to upload documents straight from the dashboard without having to click on anything. That speaks to how simple and easy the dashboard is to navigate. Even somebody who has never used e-signature software before can figure out how to use the whole system from start to finish in sending documents for electronic signatures.

Cons

I do not like that I am not able to use this in an add-on for google products as well as Microsoft. That may simply be because it is not a ubiquitous as DocuSign, but this software has all of the same great features for half of the cost. It is still super easy to upload documents from Drive or SharePoint, but add-ons just make it more seamless.

August 11, 2021

5.0

We have been happy with eSign Genie and have increased usage this past year and remain pleased with the product.

Pros

The program is easy to use for my clients and me. I work with a diverse population and have found this program easy to use and easy to explain directions over the phone to clients. The program alerts me when documents are opened and signed so I do not have to keep logging in to check progress.

Cons

I have not found anything about the software that I don't like.

### "Good product, I use it every day"

September 13, 2022

5.0

I use it as my preferred pdf reader and it does what I need for. It’s easy to use and even allows me to sign documents

Pros

I like that it is easy to use and allow me to re-open the same documents that I was using when I last closed it. It can store several number of documents for this reopening. I use highlighting the most and it is also very useful to add text, notes, and comments to your documents with Foxit. A must have

Cons

That some of its functionality is not quite compatible with Adobe and sometimes working on documents with other people that don’t use it can become frustrating. Also, it is sometimes not as useful for fillable documents as Adobe

### "Great Product at a Great Cost!"

March 28, 2022

5.0

My overall experience with Foxit eSign is positive. I will be renewing our contract and look forward to learning more uses for the software.

Pros

I like pretty much everything about the software. I being able to create documents in our brand with ease. I am still learning the product and becoming more proficient as I use it more and more. The customer is exceptional which is important when I am on a deadline and can't figure out how to do something.

Cons

Merges were a new learning curve. I wish that I could use my csv files that already been created instead of downloading the spreadsheet and then uploading the spreadsheet. It creates alot of copying and pasting, but it is still better than printing and manually signing 150 contracts at a time. :)

Reason for choosing Foxit eSign

September 17, 2019

4.0

The eSign Cloud allows us to use it in the field with low bandwidth. Our users cannot function without eSign Genie.

Pros

This software is very easy to use, the help is plain and simple. The help desk people know their product. We asked for customizations that came back in a few weeks. No other software vendors were willing to customize. The cost per document soon pays for the cost of the software. We can move documents directly into our imaging system.

Cons

The mobile apps took some time to complete. We had both Androids and Apple products. We wanted both apps completed before we started to use each.

### "Usefulness of Foxit eSign"

September 2, 2022

5.0

I've use foxit reader software quite for a long time, but I started to use foxit esign just for about a year. Then I found out that it is very useful for the way I am working with.

Pros

E-signature is the most impactful and it is really easy to use. I just have to scan my signature and put it in the software and it is done! I can electronically sign in every form I create in pdf format. What a useful and easy thing!

Cons

Here I could not suggest the thing in question because I usually don't use some other things and that's why I don't have sufficient knowledge to give my comment on it.

I use the product for client signatures on SOW's, contracts and agreements as well as for capturing signatures from non-profit board members and committee leaders.

Pros

That it is seamlessly integrated into the main menu of the PDF application, launches and executes in minimal steps with simplicity.

Cons

Very little, they could make the manual single author signature a bit more distinct and streamlined, but this is a small nit. I find the product meets all my needs for eSigning and more.

### "Foxit kept me working during Covid Lockdowns"

August 26, 2022

5.0

For my purposes, the ease of sending out and receiving them back signed is amazing. My clients have never mentioned having a problem.

Pros

In 2020 I found myself having to move my practice online in a hurry during the Covid lockdowns. I researched electronic signature websites and was grateful to find the friendliest and most helpful customer service as Foxit (then ESign Genie.)

Cons

I do not use the product as frequently as many other companies, so I find that it is always a bit of a learning curve for me when I return to the site. I have not mastered editing the templates and always struggle a bit.

eSign Genie is a great tool! Easy implementation, and most important, the real time (chat) support we receive every time we have questions. They also email a transcript of the chat for your future references. The sales team along with the customers find it very easy to use! I highly recommend this signing tool.

Pros

Ease of learning, implementing and utilization. Real time support with their chat feature and transcription.

Cons

Unable to lock down fields; however, this is apparently an industry issue - competitors do not offer this also...
