Chose DocuSign
Looked at PandaDoc about 18 months ago because of the interesting functionality around tracking redlines in contracts. This is something we are interested in, but PandaDoc was not PCI compliant (we capture billing info on our DocuSign forms). At that time they were pursuing it, …

Chose Salesforce Agentforce Revenue Management
We felt Salesforce had less risk with integrations to our CRM - also Big Machines couldn't handle our complexity.
Chose Salesforce Agentforce Revenue Management
CPQ is a more inline, integrated and user-friendly product compared to Apttus's offering. The fact that it was bought and embedded by Salesforce into the platform and the support that entails, was the big differentiator for us.
Chose Salesforce Agentforce Revenue Management
It was not my choice to move to Salesforce CPQ. Our organization chose to move to this platform because Octiv gave the reps too much flexibility. They wanted to tighten the reins. Everyone hates Salesforce CPQ and the guy who implemented it isn't even at the company anymore.
Chose Salesforce Agentforce Revenue Management
We looked into using BigMachines and FPX but decided to implement Apttus many years ago. The Apttus implementation never went live after several hiccups along the way and we shifted our focus to Salesforce CPQ which has had it's moments as well. Overall, Salesforce CPQ is the …
Chose Salesforce Agentforce Revenue Management
CPQ is much more intuitive and user-friendly than JDE. JDE is clunky and was not native to the Oracle CRM tool, which created problems when it came to quote creation and consistency in how deals are moved through the pipeline. We chose CPQ because we were already using SFDC as …
Chose Salesforce Agentforce Revenue Management
We evaluated Aptus against SteelBrick. SteelBrick had an edge because of low Implementation cost, fewer custom components, clean user interface, and good client references

DocuSign
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.

What I like best is the ease of use to be able to track all opportunities and quotes in my daily sales tracker I also like the fact that you can reorganize the view for your opportunities. For instance, it is very similar to a spreadsheet where you can filter them by date, dollar amount, name, and several other ways. I found this to be less appropriate when we have to do multiple roles while assigning one task to multiple users. Column resizing within the Quote Line Editor is not supported in the Salesforce mobile app.

Pros
DocuSign
  • 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

  • It does a lot of pricing models really well. So like tiered pricing when you're selling a product has tiered pricing.
  • The out of the box approval functionalities is really good. It can trigger approvals based on a ton of different custom criteria.
  • The data it creates and tracks is really accurate and robust.

Cons
DocuSign
  • 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.

  • Our Salesforce is very messy, which tells me it's not super easy to clean up.
  • I always have a really hard time removing a contacts from an account - it seems like you can't simply remove the relationship so we have lots of people named DO NOT CONTACT or things of that nature.
  • Sometimes when saving it doesn't seem like things actually save.

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."

Usability
DocuSign
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.

I love and admire systems that reduces manual data work by handling routine revenue tasks. And having Salesforce as primary CRM ecosystem will make it easy for anyone doing lead management, forecasting and actual revenue tracking. Since, I am salesforce data analyst - it easy for me when comes to using agentic features in designing processes

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

There have been some issues with multi-year pricing of certain products and services which we have been assured will be resolved but I guess are still underway, the support team apart from this has not been needed much and in the rare scenarios, it has been needed the resolutions of conflicts has been prompt and quick, so the overall support would have my high regards for being so helpful and customer-oriented so as to assure good performance of their toolset and customer satisfaction.

Online Training
DocuSign
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.

There is no comparison to a fully functional instance of CPQ. Nothing comes close due to the amount of customization and ease of use that CPQ offers once it's fully built out. Other solutions may be easier to build or administer, but for the users and business needs, CPQ is the best solution possible.

Return on Investment
DocuSign
  • Less paper use, faster signature times, less time standing at the printer/scanner to send documents to yourself
  • Security over your signature! Security over your company's signature and authorization to approve projects, cash flow etc
  • Love audit trails and the seamless tracking of the status of the document

  • Easy access to reporting on closed-won, closed-lost, and open quotes.
  • Accuracy in data referenced in a quote - it's typically accurate as it is pulled directly from opportunity, looking up to associated subscription start/end dates, etc..
  • We lose valuable time in creating quotes ourselves. Quotes were requested and created through sales ops previously, sales did not have access to the excel templates used to generate quotes.
