I appreciate that I can see when they've viewed the document, when they've signed the document, and the status of the document, which is probably my favorite feature in DocuSign.

What I have found to be the most valuable aspect of this solution is the fact that I don't have to go out and meet the other party in person. I can just take care of what I need to online.

If the workflow becomes heavy, the system slows down, requiring consultation with the team to get the workflow load relieved.

I find the new updated formatting and template system in DocuSign problematic. When I format and create content in their new updated system, the preview looks different from what I see during editing.

Moving the boxes around can be a bit annoying, so the AI element in the UI should be significantly improved to make the process smoother.
