Overall Satisfaction with DocuSign
It started out being used by just myself, then after showing my company how easy it was to use and how it benefited not only our company but the parents, students, and other organizations we work with, it was a no brainer. My company decided to begin using DocuSign throughout. It has been a wonderful addition to our company and saved me (and others) countless hours, money, and relieved a lot of stress in getting our documents signed quickly and efficiently. Sometimes I have to give a bit of direction to the people/organizations we send DocuSign to, but overall, it is very simple for everyone to use.
- Ease of sending the same document out to multiple recipients, at multiple locations, for multiple signatures
- Quick turnaround - once the recipient signs the document, we receive notification and the document back immediately
- Can resend, alter, change, and/or add to the email and/or document that is sent out very easily
- The recipient can save the document after signing, so they too have their own electronic copy for their records
- Until you get used to the size/area for signatures, you can accidentally overcrowd the signature area if there are multiple signatures
- Some recipients have stated that they have no problem with the signature or date sections, but are confused as to how to navigate to a check a box
- Until I played around with the program, I didn't see any specific instruction that told me I could just click a box and have multiple documents sent out in no particular order; at first, I thought they went out in the order I put them in. It took trial and error to learn that by clicking certain boxes, they can go out in any order, and then I can just remind one or two people to sign, not everyone
- Save money on postage and supplies.
- Saved time having to mail, wait for the mail to return, return it again if not done properly, and every other bad scenario that could happen - DocuSign has fixed them all.
- Being able to get my paperwork done in an extremely time efficient manner - a most important aspect when we have time frame laws to abide by and can't afford to be missed.
To be honest, I found out about PandaDoc after we had already signed a contract with DocuSign. I researched PandaDoc, and while they seem fine and are a wonderful up and coming company, we've had such success with DocuSign, and they've been around longer...they have a good history and a longer track record - why change a good thing?!?
