When we have a time-sensitive document that needs signing right away, we know we can count on Adobe Acrobat Sign to set up the document, mark where signatures are required and then send it securely on it's way for signing. We then receive a notification once signed along with a security certificate that lets us know the document was not tampered with and the time and date it was securely signed. Everything can be completed in a matter of minutes rather than hours if you had to book a client meeting, travel to their home, get their signatures, drive back

Being able to complete documents a lot faster with not only my eSign but as well as my clients makes this the best app on the market. I can't think of a time and place in the corporate world where this is not needed

Pros
Adobe
  • 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

  • Of course DottedSign isn't the first one to show how convenient e-signatures are, but in my opinion the creators really nailed it because it's both easy-to-use and also pleasant to work with due to the nice and intuitive interface and truly helpful tools.
  • Another point I'd like to make is the reminders feature is really nice - anyone who hasn't yet signed their part gets an email notification to speed them along.
  • Another thing that I like that there's no need to contact customer support to figure anything out - just download the app and get going.

Cons
Adobe
  • 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.

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 do think there could be improvements in the usability. If the document can be set up right the first time, things are a breeze. Even as an experienced user though, I find I am creating 2 or 3 versions of the documents and voiding them before I can fine the correct document parameters. It is difficult to go back on decisions you have made to a document, so it's better to void them and try again fresh. This takes quite a bit of time, though.

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.

I can't say that there is something special in the work of customer support. Everything is professional and timely, but that's about it.

Online Training
Adobe
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.

Alternatives Considered

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 configurations at a technical level. But in addition to this, it is important to emphasize that during the pandemic, users made use of this software because it came as a test element with great benefits by using Adobe Acrobat DC on a daily basis, for users it was transparent to use it and it would have represented great cultural changes. within the organization to change tools when they were already familiar with one.

DocuSign is the only real competitor to Kdan Mobile DottedSign. Everything else is very subpar. The reason we tries Kdan Mobile DottedSign and not DS is because the rates were better, they seemed more small-business friendly, and reviews were more positive

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

Return on Investment
Adobe
  • Provided an easy user and member/customer interface, which optimized the speed at which representatives were able to complete tasks.
  • Storage capacity was excellent, so the need for third-party software was no longer needed, which saved on costs.
  • The reliability of having internet and the Adobe service being up can sometimes be an issue, so when there were technical difficulties, the process was interrupted.

  • I think after we started using DottedSign at our company, we're achieving our goals a little faster due to less time being spent on traveling to meet clients and so on, and with the process being more streamlined, it's easier. to pay attention to other parts that might have been neglected before.
  • We got a bit more new clients in the last quarter, but it might be due to different reasons, but I think DottedSign played a part.
  • Also, having all the newly signed contracts digitized and available on the cloud gives us a peace of mind.
