Annature
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.

It works great for us; we deal with contractors in different parts of the world and it has been perfect for securing e-signatures from them and having a signed contract that both parties have access to. I'm not sure where it would be less appropriate—perhaps when there are significant legal risks or something of that nature, but with the types of transactions we've been dealing with, it's been perfect.

  • e-Signatures- Businesses are all working online today. Paper contracts are becoming more and more obsolete, so you need a solution that provides online contracts.
  • Price- SignRequest has one of the more attractive price points for businesses.
  • Usability- Our team was able to figure out how to use SignRequest without too much hassle, although some competitors have more intuitive products.

  • I think the "prepare document" screen can be a little more user-friendly
  • A way to keep the documents organized a bit better on the documents screen
  • I would also love a way to keep the contacts organized--or to transfer contacts from our database to the site

Usability
Annature
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.

I have found it easy to use and self-explanatory from day one. I love how clear and easy it is to use since I am not techy!

Easy to understand supporting documents with a great search feature to easily find the information I need for legal purposes, API connections, how to connect Gmail or G Suite, along with the ability to send a message to them. They don't seem to have an online chat feature or a call option, but that's why it's so inexpensive. Since it's already easy to use, it takes less time to find out information.

Alternatives Considered
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 to be the best in every aspect.

Adobe Acrobat left me frustrated and annoyed. I was wasting hours each week trying to upload contracts and agreements and customize them for each client. It never sent right and ended up being more frustrating for us and our clients in the end. So I tested some other tools before coming across SignRequest in a Google search. I started with their free plan which offered so much for a small business owner. As our business grew, we upgraded and haven't looked back. From day one I've never had an issue with this tool and recommend it to anyone looking for an online easy to use software to manage signing documents and contracts

  • Positive impact - able to complete onboarding process electronically rather than ask new employees to complete documents and scan them back
  • Negative impact - have heard from several employees that the UI makes it tedious to complete documents that have a lot of fields
