DocuSign supports transactions with document sharing and electronic signature, as well as automated and guided data collection and entry, record updating across disparate systems and payment collection upon agreement, as well as analytics and reporting.
Adobe Acrobat Sign was, to me, simpler to figure out how to use and was a better value proposition for my firm's use cases than was DocuSign. When I have used DocuSign I found it to be less intuitive and at times confusing. Clients have commented on the simplicity of signing …
We also use DocuSign but it is more expensive with a per-envelope cost associated with it. While it has a great many features, it is not truly cost-effective.
We are using both DocuSign and Adobe Sign. Both solutions are very valid for our scope, the replacement of manual process with electronic workflow. I think that if you must choose between DocuSign and Adobe Sign you have to look at the price (every month it changes or there …
For me, DocuSign is used when a standard form is already in play - nothing needs to be changed and it's a part of a larger template. Adobe Sign however is always used for forms which are unique to a client's particular situation, needs to be edited, or created from scratch. …
Both Adobe Acrobat Sign and DocuSign are prominent e-signature solutions on the market. Adobe Acrobat Sign has much better integration with other Adobe Suite products such as Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Creative Cloud which are also used at Uniper. It also has a more user-friendly …
I have prior experience at a previous company with DocuSign, and while that platform may provide a smaller set of features & functionality, it is also more intuitive for first-time users.
i am not a person selected Acrobat Sign as our company solution. i use both Acrobat Sign and DocuSign as end user. I am not comparing both feature but as end user, i think Adobe Acrobat Sign is easier to use since some menu on DocuSign is strange translation when i choose …
They are just different. Adobe's number one feature that puts it above it's competitors is that your document, the signing process, all of it exists within Adobe. There is no need to go from Word, to Adobe, to DocuSign. It saves you time and makes life easy for you (and for …
I feel Adobe Acrobat Sign holds their own to the DocuSign brand. I see more organizations using DocuSign, but feel I can easily use the toolset that Adobe Acrobat Sign offers. I really like the signature tracking feature that Adobe Acrobat Sign offers and combined with the …
The biggest difference in why we chose Adobe was because of the pricing structure. DocuSign has a "envelope" cost and you pay for certain amounts of envelopes. However, if you send more envelopes than you have paid for, either you have to a pay a premium or extend your contract …
Using DocuSign for years and then Adobe Acrobat Sign, the decision to try PandaDoc was a surprise but they quickly captured our teams interest and eventually our business. The analytics, drag and drop features for template creation and the ability to modify documents on the fly …
We did not evaluate any other products since we were already using Creative Cloud and specifically Acrobat, however I have received DocuSign files from vendors for signature.
We were thinking about using DocuSign because it integrates with our HCM system, but it was so astronomically expensive that we couldn't justify the purchase.
We utilize DocuSign over Adobe Acrobat Sign for e-signature purposes. The functionality of DocuSign is much greater in its' self-contained application; usability appears superior, and, to my knowledge, costing is more beneficial for the total value package.
Better integrates with our other systems, and allows employees to use it easier along other applications. We already use lots of adobe products so the decision was based heavily on that. I think Adobe Acrobat Sign can be a little clunky at times, but once a user has been …
I like that its incorporated WITH ALL Adobe products so I can create a PDF or edit one and attach my signature RIGHT there or send it off for signature all in one go.
Adobe Acrobat Sign is simple to use, streamlines document creation, and makes documents look better. It allows users to customize fields, set required and optional fields, and quickly generate web forms and PDFs. Templates can be saved to make sending the same document to many …

Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
Adobe is fully integrated with other Adobe products that the company uses already.
My benefits and frustrations with signing platforms are the same. Ease the preparation of documents or make template creation more intuitive, and this would be a big improvement on any e-signature product. I was not part of the selection process, but I'm sure Adobe brand …
Adobe Sign is very even with the options evaluated in the top of tools for electronic signatures. One of the big things that set it apart is the previous implementation we had with other Adobe products. This greatly simplifies the implementation as well as the necessary …
Adobe Acrobat Sign is convenient if you need someone to sign documents but they don't have access to a printer. If you need to track timestamps or signatures, it works well for that, too. Adobe Acrobat Sign allows you to digitally sign and send documents without ever needing a …
Adobe Acrobat Sign is less user-friendly and more suited to small scopes, or one-off documents. It lacks the use of templates that DocuSign has, which is what ultimately streamlines and delivers the consistency and efficiencies for the business.
I prefer DocuSign to Adobe Sign because of the workflow process. To me, DocuSign flows much easier and the interface is easier for me to locate the things I need. I also appreciate the templates that DocuSign allowed, especially because Egnyte had a direct integration with …
When viewing other competing products they didn't have the superior functionality that DocuSign had, nor the admin control. However, it should be noted that since making the selection, competing products have greatly improved.
I would say that DocuSign's biggest competitor and a most similar product is Adobe Sign. They both offer almost identical features with Adobe offering a slightly better interface. Adobe Sign is also less costly than DocuSign while offering templates that can be useful for …
DocuSign is the one we went with because of the majority of people who use it regularly. It's the first one that comes to mind when you think of electronic signatures. We do use AdobeSign with our HR platform because that is the one that is integrated with it, but standalone …
Adobe Sign has closed the gap between it and DocuSign in recent years. I still think DocuSign outclasses Adobe's offering in ease of use, and it makes less sense to go with Adobe Sign unless you are already steeped in the Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem (e.g., Adobe Acrobat, …
Adobe Sign makes it harder to edit documents unless you have upgraded administrative accounts. It’s also harder to go in and cancel Adobe Sign documents.
We prefer DocuSign to Adobe Sign and HelloSign for its name recognition (important to those working with us), preferred interface, and ease of use, and safety. After exploring all three, DocuSign was the clear winner.
DocuSign is the system with the easiest way to add and remove fields. For most situations, you will have a template so you don't need to keep adding and removing fields. When those situations do come up, it's easy for DocuSign. For those other ones you need to go through a …
DocuSign is like Salesforce for CRM's. It just made sense as we were scaling as an organization and moving and adding new technology to our stacks. We really like Adobe Sign as a close second, but for what we were doing, DocuSign came back as a more professional sales org and …
DocuSign seems to be a bit more of a user-friendly platform to work through. At the end of the digital signature, platforms are mostly the same as they accomplish one goal, get a contract signed safely and securely much sooner than if you were to get a physical signature. Adobe …
Adobe Sign is a good solution as well yet it lacks some of the functionality DocuSign offers. I also find DocuSign just a bit easier to use, or maybe I just prefer the UI.
I briefly used Adobe EchoSign briefly during a past job and was not a huge fan of the step by step functionality. The process never seemed sensible and I was never fully confident when submitting documentation to clients. DocuSign was established in my next role and I can truly …
We focused a lot on possibly doing this through OnBase natively. However there are a lot of things to consider such as security of the documents getting to and from the customer. DocuSign is able to act as a middle man, so that all you have to worry about is getting the …
We actually started with Adobe EchoSign and it did not work for us at all. When we were in the sales process they said it could do everything we were asking and showed us some of it but just stated it could do other things (our bad on not making them show us those things as …
I looked at EchoSign. At the time, EchoSign had not yet been acquired by Adobe. I did not do a thorough evaluation of EchoSign. I went with DocuSign, the clear leader at the time.
