DocuSign vs. iLovePDF vs. VeriDoc Sign

This product is well suited in the use case that I provided before: when it comes to onboarding employees and providing a clear channel for decision making for human resources, this is an excellent tool to accomplish that. I would say the weak points is when you have back and forth communication with users that it might seem a little redundant to have that back and forth communication in that scenario.

I have been searching for a platform that allows us to edit PDFs for free since this is not something we do daily. I am glad that iLovePDF offers tons of features for absolutely free.

VeriDoc Sign is well suited for any situation where a signer needs to prove identity and sign a document online without the need of a dependent document or any other witness. Online approval/verification processes are some of the use cases which are suited. VeriDoc Sign is less appropriate for situations where there is a need for a signer to provide physical identity proof to any Gov agencies (Legacy systems) and sign a document in person in the presence of a notary, such as to complete an application for a bank loan, Grant Fund request.

• Ease of sending the same document out to multiple recipients, at multiple locations, for multiple signatures
• Quick turnaround - once the recipient signs the document, we receive notification and the document back immediately
• Can resend, alter, change, and/or add to the email and/or document that is sent out very easily
• The recipient can save the document after signing, so they too have their own electronic copy for their records

Incentivized

• Converting files in different formats.
• Editing PDFs.
• Merging or splitting PDFs.

• VeriDoc allows you to see when your documents are online so that you can retrieve them faster and securely.
• I love that VeriDoc makes your documents tamper proof so that you can rest assured that your documents are protected.
• I also love that VeriDoc allows you to verify your documents with a QR Code.

• Tracking, particularly when collecting signatures through connected applications, such as an ATS, is not always clean or easily traceable.
• Formatting documents to handle electronic signature types (signatures, initials, etc.) is not always easy, and highly dependent on the partner's technology.
• It is not convenient to have to use DocuSign as a stand alone product if the signatures are required for 3rd party applications. It definitely excels on its own, but the scope of that usage, at least for us, is slim.

• I do not see any problem with the app. I wouldn't change anything.

• Add an expiry date to contracts which will expire the process.
• Emails are being to spam.

I can't imagine doing business without DocuSign now. I would never want to go back to the way we used to do things. The "new way" is "the way" is "the right way." We can honestly be proud of a "one right way" process and not have to suffer through "5 ways for 5 days."

Generally user-friendly once you have command of the basics, but also has a lot of nuances that can make it difficult to train others on. DocuSign University is a helpful tool, but understandably a lot of content to get through to become a well-versed user. A lot of different functionalities but only a few I use on a weekly basis.

We need to visit the website and choose the feature we want to use. It is straightforward to use.

Everything loads quickly. Reports are generated in a reasonable time. No noticeable difference in integrated software processing speeds.

I'd give them a 10, but there has been 1 or 2 small cases that seemed to fall to the wayside, but I was able to call them up and get them resolved. We were having a bad implementation night (after midnight) and we needed assistance from Docusign. They were able to get an engineer to help us in the early morning hours

Docusign is super easy to use, and apart from a few administration details, there was really nothing to train on. Post implementation, there were issues with configuration of auto-filled documents with the integrating 3rd party. That training required some time, because the DocuSign expert took the time to walk me through the 3rd party's configuration (how often does that happen?) so I could see how DocuSign should be best used to overcome weaknesses in the 3rd party platform. 10/10 expert care.

Until you get the hang of it, I recommend doing several internal tests before sending a document to a client. As I mentioned earlier, you have to go through a bit of trial and error at first to verify that the workflow works as expected.

There has never been anything that we could really compare to Docusign. We have tried sending documents in a PDF version, but that was not nearly as efficient. DocuSign saves your signature in the system and uses that as it goes through your documents.

ILovePDF is the easiest to use compared to all other platforms.

VeriDoc Sign help us manage multiple users and reviewers to any single contract document. We do not have to worry about authenticity and traceability of the document. These features are not available in DocuSign or Adobe Acrobat. Unlike other softwares VeriDoc Sign is on blockchain and any activity will leave a trace.

In my years of using DocuSign, I have never had an outage. I haven't even encountered a bug.

• Love audit trails and the seamless tracking of the status of the document

• My most favorite feature is add text. I am able to fill PDF format forms easily.

• Positive: low cost to try it out
• Negative: learning curve wasted some of our time
• Negative: led to extra time being processing signed documents
