Helps in creating forms that we normally used to create in Excel. For this reason alone it's a huge upgrade. Plus is relatively easy to use once you know how to use it. Also, it works best for forms that you need to fill in.

Legalesign
Legalesign is great for obtaining multiple signatures in one go without having to send them out to one person who inevitably holds up the line for everyone. It is also useful for just obtaining one signature and saving time when so many are working from home. It can be a little bit of a pain when looking for old documents and the emails do not always make clear to the user what is intended and what is needed of them resulting in outside entities deleting the emails.

Pros
Adobe
  • It enables me to quickly update and distribute forms that have been changed.
  • The layout features help ensure that the forms look professional.
  • The ability to preview what the final form will look like and how it will work, while still editing, is extremely helpful.

  • Legalesign is very easy to use - uploading documents is simple. You just click where you want the signature box to go and can add the signer's information. Adding multiple signatures is also quite easy.
  • Once documents are sent, you receive live updates when the recipient opens docs, reviews, signs, etc. This is helpful when they are time sensitive.
  • Documents are stored within the system and can be accessed/downloaded at a later time.
  • I appreciate the simplicity of the design - it's not overly flashy, like other platforms.

Cons
Adobe
  • Biggest issue is the user friendliness for the designer. It is hard to get elements to do what you want if you are adding any sort of design to your form. In my case I make flyers which require not only the form fills, but also other elements like pictures and background design elements.
  • The import from PSD or AI function does not work properly most of the time. If you create a document with lots of visual elements, your best bet is to convert as much of that as possible to a rasterized image and then popping that in as the background rather than trying to import elements. They come out very wonky, colors are lost in conversion, and the layout doesn't come over.

  • Legalesign doesn't have any glaring deficiencies, but it doesn't have the same brand name recognition that Adobe or DocuSign have. So, sometimes signers are skeptical if it's a legitimate esign document or a spam/phishing scam.

We chose this solution because it offered more flexibility , decreased our overall expenses and is what allowed us to execute our operations and business needs effectively. Adobe LiveCycle is a step above all of its competitors. Your only setback will be the initial training time investments.

They are very similar. I think DocuSign has more use so sometimes I have to describe Legalesign as being "like DocuSign" but overall using Legalesign has been a very similar experience

Legalesign
  • Legalesign has had a positive impact on our ability to sign new employees. It's fast and easy - which is essential when hiring top talent.
  • The only negative impact would be the slow pace we've experienced when trying to pull previous documents. However, we do not use this platform as our only storage option, so this issue does not arise often.
  • Legalesign allows for the seamless transfer of information with prospects, which has a large impact on our ROI. Having a system like this makes getting signatures from new clients quick - essentially for a busy sales team!
