Senior Manager, Contract Management Team at Amadeus

Automated NDA workflows have streamlined contract drafting and approvals for my team

The best features Ironclad offers are that it is very easy to use and very easy to customize; you do not need to be a developer to customize it and to create your own workflows. When I say it is easy to customize, I mean creating the questions and creating the conditions in the template. For example, if you have different businesses and depending on the type of business, you want to customize a document such as an NDA, it is quite easy to do it by yourself inside Ironclad. Ironclad has impacted my organization positively because it is more efficient, allowing us to spend less time on easy tasks and therefore spend more time on more complex tasks. I would estimate 15 to 20% time saved on our side indicates the efficiency gains.

Digital workflows have transformed contract signing and save time with remote approvals

In my opinion, the best features PandaDoc offers include ease of template creation, integration with other tools such as HubSpot, a user-friendly interface, and customizable templates. The integration with HubSpot enhances the overall user experience for my team, especially for the less technical users. PandaDoc has positively impacted my organization by being really helpful, especially as a game-changer when dealing with documents with our remote clients. We are able to send them the documents, and they can sign using their phone, so they do not have to come all the way to our office to sign the documents. They save a lot of time and cost, achieving approximately 70 to 80 percent time saved and cost savings from traveling. I also value the ability to obtain signatures from our clients, making us more efficient and saving time and money. The pricing model of PandaDoc is far superior to that of other competitors, thus being very cost-effective and affordable. It definitely helps us provide a better customer experience to retain our customers as they know we are very professional.

"My main use case for PandaDoc is that it has been a game changer, especially in my organization because it saves our sales reps hours per week on documentation."

"PandaDoc has positively impacted our organization since we started using this tool, as I love the ability to obtain signatures from our clients because it makes us more efficient, saving time and money, especially eliminating the cost of traveling, and the pricing model is far superior to other competitors, so we have been able to save a lot of time on the price it offers."

Cons

"Ironclad can be improved by integrating with artificial intelligence; it does already, but it is not really useful at the moment as it has many bugs and a lot of inaccuracy."

"Sometimes deleting blocks, stroke rules, and rows in a template is glitchy."

"The needed improvements for PandaDoc include that the workflow functionality is limited."

"I think PandaDoc could be improved in that sometimes after uploading a Word file, a notification is already sent out without me having the opportunity to insert an e-sign box, which is frustrating."

"One way PandaDoc can be improved is that it does not have the greatest notifying system; sometimes it can be annoying."

"Sometimes the fillable fields in PandaDoc don't automatically map properly, requiring manual adjustments, which can be somewhat time-wasting."

"One area that PandaDoc needs to improve is the design of documents, which is a bit limiting when compared to something such as Word or Google Docs."

"There are not a lot of areas for improvement. However, it could have better integration with meeting tools so you can go over a proposal with clients face-to-face."

"PandaDoc can be improved with up-to-date documentation that would be helpful, especially for new learners, along with better handling of license and license add-ons, and allowing coordination of fields across roles or user sections."
