DocuSign CLM vs. Zeal

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.

Besides having all the functionality of any 5 star CLM, the situations it has helped were:

• Preventing contract
  deviation by controlling template versioning
• Improving
  business processes with customized features such as unique intake forms

• Alerts when documents are signed
• Notifications if customers don't complete any or all of their required tasks
• Showing clients exactly where to sign
• Making signing easy and fast

Incentivized

• Client service support.
• Personalization of need.
• Document tracking.

• 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.

• New feature request process - they tend to ask a lot of questions regarding my request.

Zeal is user-friendly for the non-tech person to use.

Customer support is outstanding.

DocuSign CLM has a much improved user experience compared to similar products we have used. The streamlining of templates and traceability through the signing process are huge benefits, and better than competitors. The ability to set up designated templates for different use-case scenarios, and roll out efficient documents for signing, is invaluable, as well as other functions like Bulk Send and PowerForms.

• Positive - We are now able to find all of our contracts which has helped us get out of unnecessary contracts (which positively impacts finances).
