Considered Multiple Products
Adobe Acrobat Sign
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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.
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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 …
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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.
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
Adobe Acrobat Sign is a little more robust than signwell. It easily categorizes all of your documents for tracking. It's also nice to be able to see what's signed, what is pending, when someone has viewed the document vs actually completed it and being able to send reminders …
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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 …
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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.
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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 …
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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 …
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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 …
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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 …
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
Pricing was within the budget, user friendly and the entire team was aware about Adobe solutions and usage (brand awareness). They have Trusted Security Standards implemented which met our needs for compliance and the tool users Simple Signing Instructions which make the life …
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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 …
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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.
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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.
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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.
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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 …
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
There is a file size limit of 5MB.
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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.
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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 …
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
I was looking for a tool which needs no approval (third party) as well as well aware of it. I was using acrobat so has fair knowledge of features and options
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
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 …
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
I can't remember which products I've used, but I've tried several, and none of them compare to Adobe Acrobat Sign. It is the easiest to use and has the best UX/UI.
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
I would rate GetAccept as a superior product due to the collaborative aspect of the document, as well as the notifications and read receipts are much more robust.
Basecamp
Chose Basecamp
We have Teams, at our organization. But, we cannot add people who do not have our email address extension. We started to look into Teams to do the same thing as Basecamp, but it was too complicated and difficult to set up.
Chose Basecamp
Each platform has pros and cons. We ultimately switched away from Kantata (formerly Mavenlink) because our clients were more familiar with Basecamp.
Chose Basecamp
I like Trello too, but our organization prefers Basecamp so that's what I stick to
Chose Basecamp
We still use all of the other products but basecamp is great for project management.
Chose Basecamp
in my opinion, it is Inferior, clunky, ugly product as compared to the others. I only selected Basecamp on recommendations from someone else who was using it, and have moved on to ClickUp. This Basecamp app failed to notify myself, my teammates and the client so many times, …
Chose Basecamp
I've also used ClickUp and Asana. My personal favorite is ClickUp although it is limited in how it integrates with Slack which caused me to switch to Asana. ClickUp has a ton of features, including on their free plan and in my opinion is much better than Basecamp. Asana is …
Chose Basecamp
Although I favored the alternative products' price models, Basecamp is unrivaled in terms of user-friendliness.
Chose Basecamp
Both programs are good. We went with the one that most people on the team felt comfortable with so we would have the most buy-in. I also like the continual updates and feedback Basecamp takes to heart. Basecamp also has some functionality that met the needs of the organization …
Chose Basecamp
Basecamp is clean, simple, and easy to use.
Chose Basecamp
We found that Basecamp worked better for our needs than these competitors. ML is a bit slow for our purposes, and it doesn't handle images/video in as nice of a way. Invision could potentially work alright for our needs but would require too many different screenshots being …
Chose Basecamp
Basecamp is more user friendly, has a better graphics design, easier to use for less experienced people... able to track progress better.
Chose Basecamp
Basecamp is a feature-rich and user-friendly platform that outpaces other solutions we've explored. The vast number of integrations available, as well as the years of dedicated developers as well as the natively available mobile apps, really make Basecamp a leader in this …
Chose Basecamp
Basecamp is the best application we've found for our team to interface with external clients. It makes project management simple, and allows our clients visibility into their projects, which in turn builds trust, fosters open communication, and improves customer satisfaction. …
Chose Basecamp
Trello is less expensive and the free version works pretty well. For the paid version, Trello is also a really great tool. Overall, I do like Basecamp better. It's a more simple layout and structure to the software. I like the communication threads better on Basecamp. Trello …
Chose Basecamp
Basecamp is probably my least favorite. As a project manager, I'm always auditing our workflow and processes, so I try to run at least trials of project management software to get a feel for if they would help us do things more efficiently. I struggled the most with Basecamp.
Chose Basecamp
We tried other software while selecting paid plans of Basecamp; its customer service is fast and very prompt in comparison to others. Interface and UI & UX is also very good, which is very good for team members. The team loves this product and they are very happy with it. We …
Chose Basecamp
Asana has an expanded list of capabilities over Basecamp. If you're looking for a simple tool, Basecamp is your go-to. If you need something that makes it easy to schedule recurring tasks, dependencies, mass updates, seeing a project map, and capacity of your team, Asana is the …
Chose Basecamp
Trello, Gantify. We selected Basecamp because we liked the card system, even though it was lacking some of the other features we liked from other platforms.
Chose Basecamp
We moved from Basecamp to Monday.com. Monday is much better suited to an environment where most projects are similar to other projects you are currently working on or have already completed. Monday isn't as "social" or as "community building" as Basecamp, but we've always used …
Chose Basecamp
[Basecamp is] simpler to use less ramp-up. It's cheaper per user and allows for a better mobile experience.
Chose Basecamp
Basecamp if far simpler than ClickUp. We use Clickup to manage our internal task management, as it provides more customization, additional views and more room for extreme detail in tasks. We used Basecamp for clients because of its simplicity and ease-of-use. Basecamp requires …
Chose Basecamp
Unlike others, Basecamp has been easy for us to store information and move our projects forward efficiently.
Chose Basecamp
Pretty good, but [Basecamp] has its drawbacks. Honestly I find the interface non-intuitive and sometimes have trouble figuring out how to change the status of a task. Perhaps it has something to do with the way it was originally set up by the admin, but I'm not sure. I liked …
Chose Basecamp
Basecamp is simple to understand, easy to use, and does not come with the bloat and complications of a solution like Teams. It is certainly more organized and easy to follow than simply having a group chat on Slack and Viber. If you need to easily find information, it can be …
Quip
Chose Quip
Confluence is one that I think is semi comparable. I think SharePoint is very similar in nature and OneNote would be comparable as well. I think from a collaboration standpoint it's probably the best out of them. Like I said, it's not very good for version control. I think …
Chose Quip
Quip is simpler lighter and easier to use than the Atlassian products.
Atlassian products could be more complete and have more functionalities, but it is hard to master all the functionalities.
Chose Quip
1. We use it as an effective way of collaboration between teams. 2. Can be used as an online spreadsheet. 3. It helps in accessing the data by multiple teams hassle-free. 4. Can customize the action, like editing or locking the spreadsheet to the other users based on the …
Chose Quip
Quip was easier to use than any options when we were looking (5 years ago now). Google didn't really offer offline options. OneDrive was (and still is) not great. ShareFile was only considered because we already were using it for file transfer. Quip didn't have any real …
Chose Quip
We chose it for its reliability, ability to safeguard information, and collaboration between colleagues; it has met our expectations.
Chose Quip
It's easy to use and can be integrated with more 3rd-party software and documents--multiple formats are supported. And the unique feature of chatting makes it very useful, as you not need to switch to any other app for having a discussion with your team. Also data can be synced …
Chose Quip
Quip is A LOT better and easier to use because it is much more collaborative and interactive with internal Teams. Also provides easier reporting
Chose Quip
I think quip is better to onboard and integrate. It's quite scalable with minimal manpower.
Chose Quip
Quip is more robust because it pulls data in from Salesforce to allow you to collaborate with real information. You don't have to live in two systems, which is great. It also gives you access to share with external users, like these other solutions. However, it is not a 1-1 …
Chose Quip
Notion was very good in my personal use of it; however, I have used Quip in a professional environment, and the integration of security control was superb. I think that Quip's version of tables and spreadsheets is better than Notion, but they are very similar in many aspects.
Chose Quip
monday.com is a good product but lacks overall capabilities compared with Quip. Quip doesn't look visually appealing like monday.com but is more functional when it's broken down into real-time management categories and embedded files. You can easily assign files and tasks to …
Chose Quip
Quip was much better. I often have difficulty formatting Google Docs the way I'd like and especially searching for what I need. Sometimes in Google Docs I'll search the exact title of something I'm searching for and it will not appear. That's not an issue with Quip.
Chose Quip
Stacks up well against Google docs for collaboration. Not as ubiquitous as GSuite or Office
Chose Quip
Quip is multi-faceted (minus the social media capabilities) but creates a wonderful foundation to get everything good-to-go and ready for launch.
Chose Quip
We needed to find a way to work together on documents and, to get out of emailing and converge on a single solution. We tried to use our intranet tool, Jive, but that was too cumbersome and hard. Others used Google Docs, but that was not very secure. We looked within Salesforce …
Chose Quip
Quip is the best in terms of collaborative features its robustness features are worse compared to the two software. I consider Quip as the big company to watch which will compete with big companies over time.
Chose Quip
Main competitors for Quip are the Microsoft and Google product suites respectively. Quip wins in terms of collaborative features, but lags in robustness in comparison to the much large incumbents. Though I do see Quip as a company to watch, who will be capable of competing …
Chose Quip
While Quip is a fine tool, I personally would recommend an organization leverage Google Work Suite for Docs, Slides, and Sheets over Quip. I found Quip's feature set to be limited in relation to Google, all things considered. However, Quip can be valuable if your company has …
Chose Quip
It's like Google Docs or Microsoft Word, but more team-focused than either. It also reminds me of Slack a little bit in how you can add comments and everyone can view documents right in one place. There's also a side bar where chats can occur. I also really like that you can …
Chose Quip
Google Drive is an obvious choice for a collaboration suite, but it still has this old-fashioned Windows 95 feel to it, with the standard file system hierarchy and spread-sheet like lists of files. Quip has a fresh take on the user interface, and the comments and discussion on …
Chose Quip
We no longer use Teamwork but when we did, we tried to house documents but we'd always forget where they were. They weren't easy to access. Dropbox we still use sometimes, but if all our clients used quip, we would no longer need to use dropbox except for audio and video files …
Chose Quip
Quip is a powerful yet simple software. It allows for all docs, spreadsheets and slides to be online, easily shareable and editable. Its interface is really easy to use and beautiful. Their templates ate AMAZING, including things like calendars!

I was personally looking for an …
Chose Quip
slack is visually pleasant, has nice features. Its learning curve, the templates and documents management, and the team communication are also very good, and another point that stands out is the template feature (and I'm sure they will add more in future updates.) It helps gain …

Organizations with heavy usage inside Adobe product suites will find adoption seamless. However as it is driven on Adobe's platform some users may face challenges but as a whole the same business philosophy drives this as other Adobe platforms - they want your business - all of your business and it presents challenges if you don't agree. Product inculturation has been successful for organizations like Apple and even BMW, but with the global economy it can provide an appearance of elitism, often duly earned, or present unnecessary hurdles for integration which always impacts adoption timing and usage. While I understand and agree (for the most part) with revenue driven product layering, I believe that easier integration and full product availability definitely affect both acquisition and retention numbers. Adobe has a mighty and well deserved pedigree, and if you are aware of and prepared for the challenges I listed - you will probably love this software. If you need to have an easier and larger adoption and rollout, there are other options that will be a better fit especially if one of your data points is monitoring the impact and efficacy of the software on your team's time, conversion metrics and the impact on your clients. Adobe doesn't appear fond of self report analytics. On a side note, Adobe is a HUGE corporation and I have managed several of their enterprise platforms and they are awesome at allowing access to and support of legacy products, but identifying direct support was moderately to extremely difficult and requires a patience and tenacity above what one might expect for a company with whom you contribute significant income for their products. In a time when a new software pops up by the minute, having the heritage of Adobe is rock solid but a little more flexibility would make this product more attractive. I would still recommend the product albeit with awareness and acceptance of aforementioned challenges

Small to mid-size would be a great fit [for Basecamp]. It's simple to use and does not require a ton of ramp-up. Unlike other platforms that require you to learn their terminology in order to use the platform this works well for the non technical user whom just needs to put in simple task updates[.]

Well, they are suited. 1. We use it as an effective way of collaboration between teams. 2. Can be used as an online spreadsheet. 3. It helps in accessing the data by multiple teams hassle-free. 4. Can customize the action, like editing or locking the spreadsheet to the other users based on the business need. Less Suited/inappropriate: 1. The UI is very much outdated. 2. The number of rows to be added to the spreadsheet has limitations. & We have to create a new Quip every now & then once the row limits are reached. 3. Can't do a detailed analysis like pivots tables etc. 4. Other functions like sort & filter options in Quip are not so user-friendly, unlike other spreadsheets out there in the market.

Pros
  • Adobe Acrobat Sign tracks whether or not a signer has viewed a document
  • 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

  • Task management - It is very easy to add, organize and discuss tasks within Basecamp's interface.
  • The "Campfire" function is great for communicating when you just have a quick question for someone on the team.
  • Notifications - Basecamp lets you decide how often and about what you'd like to be notified. The ability to respond to messages in Basecamp directly via email saves a lot of time.

  • Our experience with Quip has been nothing short of astounding; I love everything about this collaboration tool.
  • I love that it is cross-platform and works so well on mobile devices; it makes it unhindered to make progress on to-dos, take notes, export spreadsheets and documents, and have all my information organized within one environment.
  • I also love that it notifies me when someone has done something in shared documents and the incredible ease of linking documents in chats.
  • Quip's user interface is friendly and comfortably navigable; it feels right.
Read full review
Cons
  • I've noticed if I am sent a link to sign through Adobe Acrobat Sign and I have several Acrobat windows open (especially if there is a prior sign window still open) the program freezes when it tries to open the new signature link (my firm uses Macs, so not sure how or if that is related to the glitch).
  • I have had times when one of the parties in the email string sent to gather signatures either encountered issues or are unable to sign and the integrated help menus don't seem to be sufficient to walk a novice through the process.
Read full review
  • High Learning Curve. It's true that it can be easy to use, but to use well and effectively takes some time to learn. It's recommended to have an agreed-upon system in your team of what tools to use and when.
  • Notification Overload. If people aren't careful they could send a notification to everyone when only a couple people were meant to be prompted. And since emails are sent by default, you could have your mailbox overloaded with unnecessary updates. This is where it takes a bit of training in your team to have an agreed-upon system.
  • Lack of organization with Archived Projects. I will often need to reference an archived project to make a new one, but there is only a list of archived projects in alphabetical order, with no way to organize by archive date, or even search.
Read full review
  • Update frequency - it feels like I need to update the application about twice a week. It's important to push new functionality and address bugs, but it often feels like the Quip team doesn't have their release schedule planned out very well. Constant updates are disruptive and counterproductive.
  • Automatic date reminders - Quip will automatically set a date into a reminder as you type it, which could be a useful feature, but it just ends up being annoying. More often than not I'm just typing today's date in a document to track meeting minutes, or potentially adding in an expected delivery date, for which I really don't need a reminder.

EchoSign has without a doubt helped our company to become more economic and time efficient. We can provide our customers with an entire documentation packet filled with all of the required paperwork they will ever need to sign in one quick email. The return time is at least four times quicker than sending through traditional mail methods, and is just as easy to instruct as flagging a hard copy. Our company is in the renewable energy industry, and it's great to know that there's a product like this that can help reduce waste. EchoSign diligently secures all documents and signatures, and provides an audit trail that is integral to keeping our customers' information private

When I bring new people onto a project, it's immediately obvious how to use Basecamp. I don't have to worry about teaching them the features or walking them through it, it's just incredibly user-friendly. For this reason, I'll continue to renew my subscription even as new people are brought onto production jobs or the client changes.

Usability
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.

I would give it a ten but we have some very minor issues. Those have all been easy to work around and I still really like Basecamp. We also have trouble with some clients who can only handle email—but those are rare cases when technology is just not their thing.

It is the best collaboration tool in my company. Through it, the organization has achieved better connectivity and efficiency in its communication. Primarily, the docs feature of this software is the most utilized in the company. Slowly, dash-boarding and project management features have also been utilized. Generally, it is the best tool, very easy and fairly streamlined

I've never experienced downtime while using Basecamp, or been unable to access it when I needed it. That's not to say they've never had downtime, but I've been lucky enough not to encounter any, and I work odd hours, including late nights when maintenance is often undertaken.

Performance
The Adobe Acrobat Sign's performance are excellent.
When we send electronic document by email for signature all the customers receive it regularly, nobody has any issue to open it and the signature phase was very easy. The user-friendly aspect of this product reduce or reset the call for IT support

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.

For the many reasons I've given, Basecamp is a very strong program. There are a few features I can imagine that might make it even better, but I don't have a basis for comparison to be able to say that there is definitely a better one out there. I've noticed that Basecamp has evolved a bit from the time I started using it until now, so that makes me think that the producer of this program values it and believes in continuous improvement. If you could use the features offered by Basecamp, I would think you could use it with confidence.

I have never used Quip's support. To be fair, we hired someone who used to work for Quip before working at our company, and he implemented it and pushed it with the team. He was very biased toward the product, and yes it was better than Google Drive, but by how much?

Online Training
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.

Implementation Rating
Our IT team implemented and the implementation was fine. The only lesson learned is that the integration with Salesforce.com is great, but if you use the product for something other than sales orders (e.g. timesheets, client correspondence etc.), you need to plan with that in mind. They have a very good web based interface for that

Decide the process before implementation - i.e. when it's due 8/9 does that mean 8am, noon, 5pm, 11:59pm? Check your to-do list frequently Set-up templates - just not with the dates (they can be funky)

Alternatives Considered
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 capabilities beyond what DocuSign offers

Basecamp is the best application we've found for our team to interface with external clients. It makes project management simple, and allows our clients visibility into their projects, which in turn builds trust, fosters open communication, and improves customer satisfaction. It's easy to learn and use, and has just enough customizability to work for many different types of projects.

Confluence is one that I think is semi comparable. I think SharePoint is very similar in nature and OneNote would be comparable as well. I think from a collaboration standpoint it's probably the best out of them. Like I said, it's not very good for version control. I think Confluence does a much better job of versioning control, but as far as all the other ones, I think it does way better than OneNote or SharePoint.

Scalability
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

  • Quip has increased the efficiency of our copywriters by making it easier to organize projects, eliminate emails (requesting for review), and eliminated version conflicts.
  • Quip has simplified the hand-off between copy and graphics. Instead of having to put together an email with all the copy and images, a Quip doc can house everything and a simple notification lets the designers know a project is ready for design.
  • Quip has allowed much easier visibility into the work of the copywriters in order for me to see when a project is ready to move along.
