PandaDoc offers a free eSign plan and 3 paid packages for eSigning and document automation. All plans include unlimited documents and eSignatures. Evaluations start with a free 14-day trial. Up to a 46% discount for annual pricing.
With customer support and flexibility in handling specific, unique scenarios, they are able to provide solutions quickly. There are no scenarios currently which we are aware that it may be less appropriate. If you have very large documents you should review architecture choices on how best to optimize your performance using Docmosis.
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.
Docmosis is excellent at support and will work with you to find a solution for your particular use cases.
During our evaluation process, they were very helpful to get us up and running and we were one of the first docker based implementations so they worked quickly to get our infrastructure support setup.
Their solution is very flexible and allows several ways to allow support dynamic document generation at a very good value.
There isn't much in terms of what could be improved, but the only challenge we have which is in terms of future scaling and isn't a limitation, but just something we're trying to be cognizant of as it might increase our infrastructure costs. Since we have large numbers of multi-nested document templates, and large documents. Although Docmosis did help us reduce the time to generate our largest documents by a large percentage. This is likely an area of improvement that all providers would need to address.
Sometimes the fillable fields don't automatically map properly and you have to manually adjust.
Plan tiers and pricing recently changed, so now we get less value and less features (limited templates, no more pricing tables or invoicing/connected payment) for the same price, which is pricy for a small business.
Easier, integrated invoicing as an included feature (so we don't have to use a different software for invoicing/payment collection) would be ideal. You have to upgrade to the Business Plan for this.
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
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.
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.
They always respond to support and provide resolutions quickly and even provide the ability for new features/support to be incorporated very cooperatively by help with with alternate solutions as necessary.
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.
We also evaluated Winward Studios solution along with HotDocs, we selected Docmosis for the following reasons:
1. We were using docker very early on, so they were very cooperative in helping us get our infrastructure working during the early evaluation phases, and went above and beyond to help with some of our template processing efforts.
2. When we were looking to improve the processing speed due to our complex large number of dynamically inserted templates, Docmosis was helpful with ideas. We were able to improve speed quite significantly with Docmosis' help by managing some dynamic aspects of our templates and including them inline vs. having them loaded dynamically.
We used Dropbox back when it was still HelloSign. At the time, new templates were very hard to create. We had to upload a PDF and then add the fields from there. With PandaDoc, we are able to drag and drop the text, images, logos, and fields we need easily. This has saved our team an immense amount of time.
