    ContractZen

    ContractZen is perfect for small and medium business where the use case is to manage contracts, get alerts, and track details about contract. ContractZen has other features such as meeting management, eSignatures etc. We focus primarily on contract management and are pleased with it. ContractZen has a lot of competition and many competitors have a full contract lifecycle, which is desirable in large companies.ContractZen does not have a full contract lifecycle process. Full contract lifecycle will have request for comments/proposals, NDA, quotes, implementation proposals etc. go through multiple people, multiple layers of approval etc. and different triggers in the contract would generate different tasks for staff to manage the contract till the contract expires. Large and complex companies have needs that ContractZen may not be suitable for

    DocuSign is useful for collecting electronic signatures on isolated documents and packets that are administered separately or integrated into another system. DocuSign is integrated into our onboarding system, Paylocity, which is where the employee completes all onboarding tasks required for employment. Integrating DocuSign with Paylocity allows us to send documents that require more than one signature along with other onboarding tasks, which makes for a less confusing onboarding experience for the worker. DocuSign also allows us to automatically run E-Verify from the integrated Form I-9 Document, which saves us lots of time onboarding each employee.

    Pros

    ContractZen

    • The easy storage of contracts is important. Easier than a shared hard drive folder or a jointly administered Excel sheet, both of which we tried to use in the past.
    • The alerts of key contract dates is crucial. Knowing what needs to be terminated or at least considered has saved us money.
    • Simple signing of contracts electronically has saved us money in getting from an agreed to contract to a signed one in minutes.

    Cons

    ContractZen

    • I would like one view of entire client history.
    • It would be nice to put the client information in once and then simply add on contract extensions in the same folder.

    • Increase sending limit for initial plans
    • Faster return for client service requests
    • When correcting a document, no new email is sent for notification of an update. The clients have to go back to the old document, and it feels uncomfortable for them.

    Currently, we see no better alternative to DocuSign CLM. We hope that they keep improving the software so that it remains competitive with other options.

    The best part about ContractZen is that I needed no support. I had a couple questions in the last 2 years which were answered accurately within hours. Everything has worked as expected.

    The capture of the new contracts is more important than the old contracts, somewhat counterintuitively. Once you start saving time using the electronic signing and retrieval, adding old material is easier. Old material additions fit our annual schedule as we've done them during periods of less administrative work.

    Adobe Acrobat Sign was a more confusing process compared to DocuSign CLM. Acrobat presented signature abilities, yet sometimes this was electronic and sometimes this was done manually. Additionally, it is difficult to send and track the document when it goes to more than one signatory.

    • Positive - has helped us track renewals which allows us to get out of "bad" contracts or renew "good" ones.
    • Negative - we had hoped for it to help us determine which terms and conditions we have agreed to in other contracts. This has made contract review remain a lengthy process.
    • Positive - We are now able to find all of our contracts which has helped us get out of unnecessary contracts (which positively impacts finances).
