Adobe Acrobat Sign vs. FileHold Document Management

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.

Scenarios that FileHold Document Management documents are well suited are to store documents, manage them and share them with other employees through the cloud. FileHold Document Management does a good job at all of these in addition to the fast loading time and ample storage space. However, other software such as good drive still remain better due to its ease of use and accessibility.

• 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.

• Whenever there was an update done to the program, we would run into multiple issues.

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.

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.

FileHold is the ideal solution if you are looking for an electronic library with workflow functionality. The ease of use and integration with other tools we already use was also a huge incentive. It also allows us to import and export data. The search features and the ability to accept electronic signatures further made our lives easier.

I would have rated this a 9 or greater had they not had had such critical outages. They have taken steps to resolve this so I may come in and revise this

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

FileHold was easy to implement as well as to configure to meet our organization's business requirements. We all found the search capabilities to be wonderful, reducing the time it takes to find a particular document. FileHold is easy even for the most novice of users to become productive in a very short amount of time.

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.

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 your clients).

I selected file storage document because it has better security feature and some employees are used to the software already. Also, I wanted to try out new software to see if there are better software out there than what I'm currently using. Google Drive doesn't offer too much security in term of their file storage feature.

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

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Faster approval process
• Better relationships with our plant [locations]
• Improved employee efficiency by making the approval process faster
• Improved employee efficiency by allowing employees to find documents faster through the search function
