Likelihood to Recommend PandaDoc is well suited for companies that send proposals and terms and conditions to customers for collection of digital signatures. It really helps that you can templatize your documents and have collaborators help you finish the document for you. The dashboard is also a game changer as it gives you one place to view all your active documents and the status of them. You can even use this to collect payments as it integrates with software like QBO.
Read full review 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.

Usability- Our team was able to figure out how to use SignRequest without too much hassle, although some competitors have more intuitive products. Read full review Cons The table builder could be a little more robust. It can be difficult to figure out which token to use so it can grab the info from Hubspot It could offer better integration with meeting tools so you can go over proposals with clients. Read full review 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 Read full review Likelihood to Renew The reason I gave it a rating of 7 is because it's probable, but not for sure. This is because there are a few little things we don't love about pandadoc. Mostly that there is not conditional logic such as: they must either fill this field out OR this one. Also it's a little pricey. But we'll probably stay because it's good enough and a pain to switch to something new
Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review 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!

Read full review Performance The documents load quickly for the most part but sometimes if there are larger documents with a high number of variables it could take a bit longer to get the document to show up. Most of the time the document comes on the screen relatively quickly allowing for quick access to documents to be edited and sent out.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Implementation Rating 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.

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

Read full review Return on Investment Time saved creating documents. Not copying that answer. I've said that several times in this review already IDK about increasing close rate, but customers certainly aren't afraid to click on a PandaDoc link or attachment Only miniscule, miniscule negative is that it isn't always instant Read full review 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 Read full review ScreenShots
