Streamlined customer onboarding has reduced processing time from days to under an hour

There are several phenomenal features in Adobe Sign, and for me personally, the web forms feature is one of the best because it allows flexibility and the ability for signers to access the documents remotely without having to be sent a document for signature. All they need is a link or a QR code to the actual web form, which enables them to fill in and sign the document electronically on any device. The web forms feature has saved a lot of time and administration back and forth from a customer and supplier perspective. In general, it has added a whole level of efficiency for the organization as a whole. As mentioned with the customer registration document, Adobe Sign has greatly improved efficiency for the processing of customer registration documents. Previously, the process took potentially anything up to 10 working days, but with the current process in place, it has been minimized down to less than 60 minutes.

Collaboration has improved through simplified document access and controlled sharing

SharePoint is definitely used to keep a record of our files and data. The capability is quite good because it is time-saving. I have used it only four or five times, but it has been very helpful to keep all my information in a consolidated manner. The search feature is one of the most beneficial factors that we use to filter out the latest data or the latest file as per our convenience and use case. When you have a large repository, this feature is particularly valuable. Role-based access control has been helpful while developing the knowledge platform. The roles were defined clearly, which made it easy for the four or five of us to work simultaneously and collaborate on our project in a similar manner.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I give the stability a ten out of ten."

"The ability to sign digitally is very convenient."

"The most valuable aspect of Adobe Sign is not a single feature, but rather a combination of features. From a broad perspective, the failover system is particularly noteworthy. In the event that Adobe Sign experiences downtime, there are backup measures in place through Amazon AWS that ensure continuity. For instance, if one region experiences an outage, another region can take over seamlessly, which is a significant advantage."

"I adore using Adobe Sign since it feels intuitive and user-friendly. Its organic design makes it effortless to navigate, so even if you lack experience with Adobe software, you can quickly learn and use it accurately."

"I would recommend this solution to other people. It is an easy-to-use solution and one of the best."

"Adobe Sign is highly reliable and offers additional features such as 25-year retention filters and audit capabilities."

"Previously, the process took potentially anything up to 10 working days, but with the current process in place, it has been minimized down to less than 60 minutes."

"Adobe Sign is a reliable product with good support and a continuous improvement process in place."

More Adobe Sign pros

"What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."

"Its most valuable feature is the document library."

"SharePoint is a ten out of ten solution."

"This product has allowed us to coordinate the efforts of individual groups, as well as different groups that need to interact for specific projects/processes."

"For all-around capabilities that include not just document management, workflows, calendar, task management, blogging, calendars and overall business process management, we deemed SharePoint as the best overall."

"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."

"SharePoint's collaborative features are valuable as they enable productivity by allowing multiple users to edit documents simultaneously."

"SharePoint Search improved document searchability from different sources like file systems and Office 365."

More SharePoint pros

Cons

"The solution's UI can be made simpler and easy to use so that I can have the option to make changes if needed."

"Last year we were informed that the integration between SharePoint and Adobe Sign was expiring in July 2024, prompting us to create a Power Automate flow to automate agreements in Adobe Sign using Power App and Power Automate flow inbuilt with the SharePoint site."

"The solution could always be more secure."

"The price of the solution could improve for certain plans."

"It is hard to keep up with continuous improvements."

"It works. I have no notes for improvement."

"The UI has room for improvement."

"I think that the performance could be better and so could the auto-updates when filling in new columns and information."

More Adobe Sign cons

"The user profile synchronization feature is cumbersome to configure and at least initially had some stability issues."

"The product must provide more automation."

"It will fully use your system resources."

"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."

"The technical support from Microsoft for SharePoint is often slow and rated a three out of ten."

"There's room for improvement in the search functionality, although it has matured significantly over the years."

"Despite these changes, we still can't seem to get our version of SharePoint to return meaningful results, even when searching an exact document title."

"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."

More SharePoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As of now, there are no monthly expenses involved in the solution."

"One area where there is room for improvement is the pricing of the entry-level plans. If you have minimal requirements for electronic signatures, the initial plans may not be suitable for SMBs as they may appear expensive. However, once you start using Adobe Sign, you can see a positive return on investment. Nonetheless, the pricing of the entry-level plans could be improved to cater to businesses with lower signing needs."

"The free edition allows us to use the signature feature."

"Adobe Sign is not expensive, but it is premium-priced based on the specific features required. The value you get from the numerous features and free unlimited support, including expert advice, is worth considering when looking for value for money. Unlike licensed components, when you purchase Adobe Sign, you're not just buying support; hence, you won't be faced with any unexpected licensing costs for additional support."

"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."

"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."

"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."

"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."

"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."

"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."

"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."

"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
