Considered Both Products
FileInvite
Chose FileInvite
Similarly, I found FileInvite to be easier, cheaper, and has more functionality that is useful for me.
Chose FileInvite
FileInvite has a lot of nice features, but the overall cost is the company's downfall. We were able to get a lot of the same features that we need for a lot less with other companies and providers.
Chose FileInvite
Client Management, Team Collaboration, Customer Statements, Pre-Qualification, Closing Documents, Contact Database Messaging.
Chose FileInvite
There were at least two other solutions that I looked into. Of my list of needs, however, file invite had the majority of them covered, and I know that at least one other solution that I reviewed was significantly more expensive.
Nitro PDF Pro
Chose Nitro PDF Pro
You need a subscription to use Adobe Acrobat. You can pay a one-off license fee to use Nitro.
Chose Nitro PDF Pro
Nitro Productivity Suite is able to perform just as well as Adobe. It uses less resources on my machine than Adobe. I think it is much easier to use than Tungsten as well.
Chose Nitro PDF Pro
[I feel] Nitro doesn't have near the functionality of Adobe but it is significantly cheaper. I'm not sure the savings is worth the frustration.
Chose Nitro PDF Pro
Every 1-2 years will do a check on current PDF options to include trialing the software. Have tried Foxit and several that seem to have failed in the marketplace. Over the last 4 years, I have always stuck with Nitro. Unfortunately, we still need to keep Adobe Acrobat (free …
Chose Nitro PDF Pro
I think Adobe is probably the best PDF solution since they essentially developed and own the PDF format, but Nitro is a very good alternative and is more competitively priced.

If our clients didn't use PDF documents or sent us everything in MS Word, then our Office 365 would be …
Chose Nitro PDF Pro
Nitro Productivity Suite allows a user to accomplish all of the things you would want to do to a document that Adobe does not. Much easier to find the operation you are looking for in Nitro Productivity Suite compared to Adobe
Chose Nitro PDF Pro
Nitro is a more specified app with simple pdf editing use and a low cost.
Chose Nitro PDF Pro
Nitro has probably 10x the features that Adobe does and just does it so much better. Ease of use is profoundly different. I won't ever go back!!
Chose Nitro PDF Pro
At the time, we evaluated Adobe Professional to help with some of the PDF modifications we were needing to accomplish. I didn't see any further options besides Nitro and Adobe that were worth evaluating. When looking at costs and feature comparisons it was a no-brainer.
Chose Nitro PDF Pro
Nitro was more simplistic than Adobe and a much better price
Chose Nitro PDF Pro
I downloaded the trial versions of both Acrobat DC and Nitro PDF, and found Nitro to be superior in price, while Acrobat was superior in software features and user-friendliness. I knew I would be using Nitro for basic publishing and editing of PDFs, which both programs do well, …
Chose Nitro PDF Pro
We selected Nitro PDF because the features that the organization needed were comparable and the annual cost for the on-premises version of the application was considerably less expensive at the time. When we selected, Adobe was not yet in the cloud. At that time, there were …

Our forms for summer camper parents vary depending on the needs of the camper (i.e. allergies, nutrition requirements, & program desirability such as horseback riding or preferred cabin mates). This situational form allowance is a breeze with fileinvite, and the setup process is intuitive and very easy to manage as a collaboration across our entire team

I run a professional services business from home. I need to edit documents quickly and easily and with minimal subscriptions to minimize overheads. I love that Nitro is a one-off payment to get a license to the software, and you can simply upgrade to the latest version if that's what you want, but you're not obligated to. I've been using the same version of Nitro for 7-8 years now. Despite the fact the upgraded versions have a lot of great, nice-to-have features, the version I'm on still does the job.

  • Ability to combine files SEAMLESSLY and order them around as necessary (so underrated)

Cons
  • Some clients complain about the number of emails they receive from the automated system.
  • Some tasks are more complicated than they should be.
  • Some clients have voiced their concerns about how complicated the system is on their end.

  • Converting from PDF to Microsoft Word can be complicated at times. Some parts of a document such as tables are not converted properly.
  • Sometimes it appears to be easier to save MS Word documents to PDF rather than using NPS to convert. It can be a bit slow to convert at times.
  • In my view, it wasn't user friendly at the beginning.

We will definitely be renewing the Nitro Productivity Suite. Saves the company a lot of money for something we use everyday

Usability
Aside from a few minor recommendations, the solution is well thought through and very easy to set up. As a matter of fact, the onboarding support by the team was fantastic, and the ongoing availability to help while we were/are learning the platform has been extremely friendly and reliable.

For the most part, the entire software is extremely easy to navigate and use. You won't need to follow tutorials or anything for the bulk of the core features, as it's all pretty seamlessly designed.

Performance
It has been pretty smooth so far. There was an issue earlier this week that resulted in corrupted invites whereby the unique secure link failed, but I was able to resubmit the invitations quite simply, and they've assured me the issue was unusual and I won't be alarmed unless it happens again sometime soon.

Nitro checks all the boxes for what we need. It is fairly priced, it allows us to read and edit PDF documents, convert PDF to MS Word and convert MS Word to PDF. It allows us to combine multiple files and do all the post processing like adding page numbers and adding headers and footers

Every 1-2 years will do a check on current PDF options to include trialing the software. Have tried Foxit and several that seem to have failed in the marketplace. Over the last 4 years, I have always stuck with Nitro. Unfortunately, we still need to keep Adobe Acrobat (free version) installed to view a small percentage of some PDFs we receive.

Return on Investment
  • Positive feedback from clients and employees who have used this vs Docusign.
  • Not sure about the exact ROI, however, I know that this has had significant cost savings vs the previous software.
Read full review
  • Positive - Cheaper than Adobe
  • Positive - Allows us to modify PDF documents from our clients to submit our proposals.
  • Positive - Allows us to convert PDF documents to MS Word to share with our consultants and others without a PDF editor who contributes to our proposals.
  • Negative - Need to upgrade to get the latest features/versions unlike something like MS/Office 365 where we just get updates automatically and free for the monthly fee. Maybe they will or need to move to a subscription solution versus a product price.
