Featured Reviews

AshishKumar13 - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced management and seamless integration improve document workflows
The IAM tool they are providing is good, but there should be flexibility in terms of importing IAM or AI generation reviews into the normal workflows while generating documents and creating templates. DocuSign still needs to offer more built-in integration tools such as the Coupa connector. They already have many integrations, such as Google Docs and Google Drive, but some major ones are still in the pipeline. Scalability, in terms of the workflow structure and maintenance, needs improvement. If the workflow becomes heavy, the system slows down, requiring consultation with the team to get the workflow load relieved. System availability should see fewer crashes or server errors.

Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use. I do not have to be very technical to use it. Its rights management capabilities and ability to restrict access to certain people are also very useful. Furthermore, I can access SharePoint from any device, whether it is a phone or laptop, which is very convenient.
MohamedShaheen - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides good integration and invoice facilities
I use the latest version of Zoho Sign. Zoho Sign is still improving because they send their announcements each month. I recommend people use Zoho Sign only if they have proper guidance from the people at Zoho. Else, it will be a big mess. Overall, I rate Zoho Sign a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of DocuSign is its ability to save time."
"This speeds up the sign-off process."
"DocuSign is easy to use. I also like the document tracking features."
"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."
"We can structure the signature."
"The solution is stable."
"It is very stable."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its ease of use."
"Quantity and variety of partners with solution development ability on the platform."
"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
"It works very well, and its pricing is also good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of Zoho Sign are its integration and invoice facilities."
"The solution is fairly easy to use since there are no complexities. Also, it has a good user interface, and even its support is good."
"I like that there is a hierarchy in sending the documentation."
 

Cons

"We'd like to have some integration with some of our IT services."
"The support is not accessible sometimes to African businesses."
"DocuSign's mobile application could be better. It has some compatibility issues."
"I could always use better security around the solution."
"Resolution from customer service and their response rate in resolving issues needs to be improved."
"There are sometimes delays in user communication."
"It should automatically be datestamped beside the signature."
"If the workflow becomes heavy, the system slows down, requiring consultation with the team to get the workflow load relieved."
"SharePoint is not always intuitive to use and can be overwhelming for non-tech-savvy users."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"Using SharePoint is difficult."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"Workflow is something that can become more intelligent."
"Zoho Sign has to be made more user friendly."
"I think that it would be a good improvement if one could chat with Zoho or DocuSign...In short, the tool cannot currently let me communicate or talk with it via chat."
"They send the contract out with default templates, and we need to be able to adjust the templates as we would like."
"The solution limits the number of contracts one can sign."
"Because not everyone uses it, it's difficult to get it adopted. When you send someone something and it's a DocuSign, they go, "Okay, this is legit." When you use any of the other ones, people are like, "Oh! What is this?" I don't know if that's a branding issue or something else."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The pricing works for us."
