    I chose Acrobat Sign over DocuSign based on cost. Having used DocuSign previously, it would have been worth the extra money to stay with them. PandaDoc seemed straightforward and cost-effective, but I wanted to use a brand that would have wider recognition.

    DocuSign is a little more user-friendly and more updated that Adobe Acrobat Sign. Ultimately, we made the switch to Adobe due to their product offerings. By choosing Adobe, we can utilize other platforms within the suite that allow us to further edit documents. Which provides …

    Acrobat Sign isn't quite as user friendly as other E-Sign platforms I have used. However, it offers a wide range of features that provide convenience and efficiency. For example, I can have multiple people receive the same document separately, or I can have multiple people receive and review the exact same document. I also like that I can choose to set a signing order or not, this is important for when I send Offer Letters and other things that require order of approvals.

    Pros
    Adobe

    • Adobe Acrobat Sign tracks when a signer has signed, and the document has been sent to the next signer
    • Adobe Acrobat Sign sends you confirmation emails and progress update emails along the way
    • Adobe Acrobat Sign provides a "confirmation of signing" page at the end of the document package you put together, to prove the signatures are authentic

    Cons
    Adobe
    • Builds on Adobe platform so it is easy to utilize, but many features require enterprise subscription.
    • Integrations available but your CRM integration is only available with enterprise license.
    • Lots of templates but there are additional templates with enterprise only and there was no drag and drop editor.
    • Adobe captures some analytical metrics but many of the analytics we required were not available - specifically metrics related to how the tool converts and reduces use time by our team and the impact on clients.

    It is by far the easiest service we have used to obtain digital signatures from employees. In the past we had done it by hand (a process I would not recommend for 1500+ employees) and with another company that would not allow us to create our own forms and would charge us for each form.

    Usability
    Adobe
    I've had very little trouble with it in all my uses with it. I do wish the text boxes you add wouldn't cut off the text if you entered too many words and that it would adjust it's size to fit within the space you've provided. However, that just takes a little refining in the initial set up of the document before you send it out.

    It is a great tool to get signatures from the client and has reduced a lot of overhead that was caused before resulting in very long delays. With the integration of Adobe Acrobat Sign, we have reduced this delay making the process much smoother and more efficient.

    The best types of training are well integrated into the product and Echosign does this well. As mentioned earlier in my review - there are some areas of functionality that can be difficult to understand ("only I sign") for the novice user. Other areas such as macro usage, bulk signature and so on were easily learned and understood via the online tools.

    We did not use it in the manner that most companies do, so I am pleased with how our company handled implementation. We will be pushing the full company over into Echosign for various processes which will incorporate more of an implementation effect.

    At the beginning we assigned Adobe Acrobat Sign just to Purchase Office Department because at that moment we needed a tool that supported us to avoid manual signature and was compliance with remote working.
    Now we are using it also in other situation because it help us with time and we can also reduce cost

    Return on Investment
    Adobe
    • Significantly reduced the time required for document signing processes reducing wasted time and effort
    • Cost savings since there is no longer any need to print and post/scan traditional signed paper-based documents
    • Faster decision-making since time-sensitive decisions and approvals can now be processed much more quickly by using e-signatures.
