Chose Annature
Annature is vastly superior than DocuSign and Adobe Acrobat Sign. The signing experience is superb. The dashboard holds all the information you would need and want. The customisation is good.
As important as all of this is the transparent pricing model. Pay as you go. Unlikely Do…
Better customer service experience and billing experience with Annature. DocuSign was not a good experience at all, which is why we moved and also why past businesses I have worked at have also moved to Annature.
Annature is extremely easy and convenient to use, the range of options and features provided have made it that Annature exceeds that of the other products previous used by our organisation. We previous tested and trialled other ways of electronic signature but Annature proved …
Annature has been exceptionally well suited to our business. It has integrated flawlessly and is a very easy-to-learn product. Our customers appreciate the security it provides and the convenient way to review and sign documents without printing, scanning, and emailing them back to us. It is even suited for sensitive documents because it has the option for multi-factor authorization. The only time it's not suited to us is when we need witness signatures, noting that there is an option to do this, but it's not accepted in our case as wet signatures are usually required.
I am going to speak of a personal experience- on multiple occasions: I need my husband to sign documents during the day and I don't need him here- physically. He sometimes works in different parts of the state as well at his own company. There is no problem at all, as long as he has access to his cell phone, email, and cell phone service- he can sign the documents I need him to. It is AMAZING- I can't speak highly enough of Docusign.
Tracking, particularly when collecting signatures through connected applications, such as an ATS, is not always clean or easily traceable.
Formatting documents to handle electronic signature types (signatures, initials, etc.) is not always easy, and highly dependent on the partner's technology.
It is not convenient to have to use DocuSign as a stand alone product if the signatures are required for 3rd party applications. It definitely excels on its own, but the scope of that usage, at least for us, is slim.
I can't imagine doing business without DocuSign now. I would never want to go back to the way we used to do things. The "new way" is "the way" is "the right way." We can honestly be proud of a "one right way" process and not have to suffer through "5 ways for 5 days."
It is incredibly user-friendly and very easy to learn on the go without specific training. There are a lot of step-by-step guides that help you learn how to use the product, but it's intuitive, and I cannot fault it. I knew it entirely on my own with no guidance; I followed the instructions via the website and figured it out as I went along.
Generally user-friendly once you have command of the basics, but also has a lot of nuances that can make it difficult to train others on. DocuSign University is a helpful tool, but understandably a lot of content to get through to become a well-versed user. A lot of different functionalities but only a few I use on a weekly basis.
I'd give them a 10, but there has been 1 or 2 small cases that seemed to fall to the wayside, but I was able to call them up and get them resolved. We were having a bad implementation night (after midnight) and we needed assistance from Docusign. They were able to get an engineer to help us in the early morning hours
Docusign is super easy to use, and apart from a few administration details, there was really nothing to train on. Post implementation, there were issues with configuration of auto-filled documents with the integrating 3rd party. That training required some time, because the DocuSign expert took the time to walk me through the 3rd party's configuration (how often does that happen?) so I could see how DocuSign should be best used to overcome weaknesses in the 3rd party platform. 10/10 expert care.
Until you get the hang of it, I recommend doing several internal tests before sending a document to a client. As I mentioned earlier, you have to go through a bit of trial and error at first to verify that the workflow works as expected.
Annature is extremely easy and convenient to use, the range of options and features provided have made it that Annature exceeds that of the other products previous used by our organisation. We previous tested and trialled other ways of electronic signature but Annature proved to be the best in every aspect.
I would say that DocuSign's biggest competitor and a most similar product is Adobe Sign. They both offer almost identical features with Adobe offering a slightly better interface. Adobe Sign is also less costly than DocuSign while offering templates that can be useful for various activities. If you are looking for more branding options then Adobe offers a slight advantage but for corporate control, I would say DocuSign offers more security.
