Pros

Adobe Acrobat DC is very easy to use to edit already created PDF documents. I work with multiple agreement documents in our organization, and with Adobe Acrobat DC, I can modify the individual agreement forms to personalize to each document.
Adobe Acrobat DC is a great tool to create documents, such as flyers or graphics, to distribute on digital marketing platforms. It is very easy to edit the document as you work on it and allows for great creative work.
Adobe Acrobat DC allows me to convert formats easily. I am able to move things that are PDFs to Word Documents or PDFs to JPEG images so I can post the created content on our digital marketing platforms.

Cons

What I like the least is its high price. A month is quite expensive. I would like for that price at least to be more agile using heavy pdfs.
Sometimes it is not very intuitive to use. Some functions seem hidden to the user.
Opening the large pdf documents it makes it to hang

Based on 9 answers

I can't imagine doing business without DocuSign now. I would never want to go back to the way we used to do things. The "new way" is "the way" is "the right way." We can honestly be proud of a "one right way" process and not have to suffer through "5 ways for 5 days."

Usability

Adobe Acrobat DC8.0

Based on 1 answer

Overall, Adobe Acrobat DC provides an easy user interface. The program can take some time to get used to, just like most programming you use, but once the software is understood it is very easy for users to use. Compared to many programs this is very easy for people to use.

DocuSign9.8

Based on 5 answers

The products is well built and it is easy to understand the high level features. However, when I created my 1st form with the product, the learning curve was pretty steep. It required quite a bit of trial and error. For instance, our form required a credit card number. We didn't want this data to be visible, but the workflow included an email confirmation with a PDF attached. It took me a while to figure out how to make sure that the credit card number was not sent in this confirmation email. It actually required me to call their customer service line.

Performance

Adobe Acrobat DC8.0

Based on 1 answer

Overall, Adobe Acrobat DC performs at an acceptable rate. The software takes some time to load, but nothing that is unreasonable when launching a document. The program responds at a reasonable speed and performs well when operating tasks. It takes time for it to evaluate a document when you request to edit the document, but that is understandable considering it is identifying words and such in the document.

DocuSign is easy to use and implement across a broad range of computer literacy levels. It was very easy to mirror our existing paper process in an electronic form using DocuSign's software.

Alternatives Considered

There's a lot of alternative programs that can edit or manipulate PDF files, but Adobe Acrobat DC is definitely full-featured and ticks all of the boxes of what the application should be able to do. The program is constantly adding new features that are beyond the scope of what we need to use the application for, but it is always nice to see that they are always working on improving the functionality of the program.

DocuSign offers a mix of being fairly well known and along with offering an extensive toolkit and many options. While in most cases I am more than willing to use the smaller, more agile, contender's product. In the legal space, there is some comfort that is derived from a well established/known entity.
