Elkin Edgardo Gómez García General Manager Chose BoldSign®, by Syncfusion® They all have similar features, but BoldSign stands out for its simplicity and ease of use. Adobe has a business model where they are sending you ads while you are using the system and the truth is that it tends to be a bit annoying and distracting at times.

Jason Frazell Founder Chose PandaDoc I found PandaDoc's ease of use to be the superior solution to all of the other software I tried. Incentivized Helpful?

Steve Foster Vice President and CFO Chose PandaDoc PandaDoc provided similar features and functionality at a better price, but the "tipping point" was integrated e-signatures. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	BoldSign®, by Syncfusion®	PandaDoc
Likelihood to Recommend	BoldSign is perfect for the small business or startup that needs a legally-binding solution to digitally sign contracts/agreements between 2 parties or more. It's no frills and super easy to use, and requires no training to understand how to use. BoldSign is less appropriate for organisations that require complex integrations and automation capabilities for their digital signature solution. Incentivized Jason Xu Founder Read full review	Best suited for after demonstrations when requested by the prospect when they are looking for pricing with T&C. The data room is also great that acts like a drop box for opportunities and their contacts. Helps share pertinent information with others in the organization. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	BoldSign was incredibly easy to pickup and start using. The UX was very intuitive and required no training or guidance. BoldSign's signed contracts repository is a very easy-to-access and navigate system to store and access all our signed documents. BoldSign customer support has always been incredibly responsive and helpful. Incentivized Jason Xu Founder Read full review	Allows clients to remotely execute documents. Tracks the progress of document execution. Emails clients to remind them to sign documents so we don't have to follow up. Emails us when documents have been fully executed. Provides an easy-to use interface to place signatures, dates, and other information on our forms. Incentivized Phil Goldberg Attorney Read full review
Cons	It would be great if BoldSign saved my signature in my account to use each time It might be easier if you could select signature (or any heading for that matter) and click where you want it instead of dragging it to where you want it. It would be nice if completed document’s automatically saved to a selected folder for safe keeping. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I would like to see the ability to LOCK a field instead of locking an entire block or document. I would like to see more standard features that need to be part of the service instead of add-ons. Would like to see an option to allow different levels of users than just the two standard options. Incentivized Karina Alvarez Administrative Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Great product. Great price. Free for up to 25 signatures for one persons account. Having a group using it under one account is even a great price. Much cheaper than all the alternatives out there and does the same stuff the others do Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We have been using it for a few years now and find it vital to getting our bids out quickly and accurately to our customers. We can get a request for information from a customer and once we have their basic parameters create a professional bid in minutes. It's actually usually harder to find out what the customer wants than to use PandaDoc and create a document with it Incentivized Bil Thompson C.O.O. / Project Leader Read full review
Usability	Very straight forward to use and customers understand the service. No questions or need for me to explain. The free tier is amazing and has locked me in as a customer for when we're big enough to need the paid version. Incentivized KR Kevin Rodriguez Director Read full review	Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. There can be a slightly steep learning curve to get fully in on the system. The new editor v2 has really improved usability and allows us to collaborate on documents simultaneously. Once the templates and library items are set up, a new document, whether it be a sales or HR document, takes very little time to complete. Incentivized CT Carl Thaisen Founder Read full review
Reliability and Availability	No issues to date. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We haven't had any real issues regarding downtime as of yet. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Performance	No issues with performance. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	As I mentioned earlier - performance is near perfect as I can create, send, adjust my documents. I love the tracking feature as well as I can tell when my documents have been seen and by whom. The only issue I have run into is with saving and formatting - occasionally the file document does not save with the newly assigned name or the content of the document does not stay formatted nicely. Incentivized JJ Joanne Jordan Business Development and Partnerships Officer Read full review
Support Rating	At the beginning I had a question so I emailed them. Response was super quick. Other then that I have not had to contact them for any help. System is easy to use Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Recently I could not upload a pdf to a contract - support was very responsive and easy to work with. They got back to me the next day with an apparent fix - however when I opened the document nothing had changed. I then could not respond to the rep who was helping me because it was a "no-reply address", the problem still has not been solved and we had to make alternate arrangements to get this to the client. Never had it happen before and was only with this one contract. Incentivized MV Melissa Veinotte Registered Storage Designer Read full review
Implementation Rating	Very easy...I was able to start using it immediately. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Implementation was before the time I was here at Riafox, however, support has been great in assisting to merge spaces and upgrade to 2.0 Editor. Incentivized LS Linda Stefani Operations Director Read full review
Alternatives Considered	The price-performance ratio is better with BoldSign. If I want to scale up to the next level and then go back, I can do it easily with BoldSign, unlike Adobe, for example. If you want to try another application, that's fine. They all do the same thing. In my experience, the ease of use, sourcing and functionality was perfect with BoldSign. NH Nadia Huerta Sales Manager Read full review	PandaDoc is a more polished, professional, and 'legitimate' software site than other solutions, since PandaDoc really specializes in creating professional proposals, quotes and invoices. The eSignature capacity and pricing table capacity embedded in the documents as well as fillable fields, pre-made, customizable and reusable templates also make PandaDoc stand out. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Scalability	Not sure as I don't have a need to scale. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I agree. We have created folders for multiple departments and have been successful with the usage. Incentivized LS Linda Stefani Operations Director Read full review
Return on Investment	So far I have only used the free version I am sure that the paid version would be extremely beneficial if you did a bunch of contracts. I just started using the program, so not too many contracts yet. If I need to upgrade my subscription, the price will be well worth it. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We have greatly increased the efficiency in which we can get signatures from individuals for documents and increase productivity. We have been able to find older documents very easily. W-9 have been very difficult due to Section 3, but this was addressed with conditional logic Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
