There is reduced induction of errors as we deal with documents signed electronically, improving security and confidentiality, making SignNow a great tool.

Kelvin Cihigo

Human Resources Manager at edx

The reminder and expiration features help, and we have avoided paper. This has helped to avoid courier costs and printing costs, and saved labor as 8 to 15 minutes per document was needed previously, but here SignNow helps.

Customer Service

Sentiment score

SharePoint's customer service satisfaction varies; premium support and online resources improve assistance quality, with some challenges in specialist access.

The quality of Microsoft's technical support is very high.

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.

Digital signatures have transformed contract approvals and saved time across our teams

Director of Operations at EY

My experience while using SignNow has been five to six years. The mobile app support has been really helpful because they have been really proactive in case we want to reach out to them about any issue. We reach out to them instantly and they quickly give us a solution to our problem or support us 24/7. That has really worked well, especially with our mobile support when we or our clients have concerns with the mobile app. The mobile app has also been really great because it helps our team while working from home or remotely. They are able to open the mobile app and sign documents on the go, promoting collaboration. SignNow has positively impacted my organization. Since we started using SignNow, it has improved the time for signature collection, saving both parties time and reducing client doubts about signing with us. It has improved team collaboration because we all have access to this tool, and NDAs are signed much faster than they used to be. Reusable templates help out a lot.
