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
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.
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
For me, DocuSign is used when a standard form is already in play - nothing needs to be changed and it's a part of a larger template. Adobe Sign however is always used for forms which are unique to a client's particular situation, needs to be edited, or created from scratch. …
Chose Adobe Acrobat Sign
Adobe sign has an upper edge as compared to Conga Sign as there are a lot of issues in Conga Sign, moreover Adobe Acrobat Sign has more trust among our clients which makes it a go to solution for getting signed documents.

Adobe Acrobat Sign

Adobe
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

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.

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.

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
