    Someone who has never used Dropbox Sign before could quickly figure it out without needing a tutorial or guide. It is very useful in instantly collecting signatures and keeping others in the loop as well, even if they aren't signers. I love that there's an option to cc someone in basically and they'll be able to see the documents and when it's signed. It's also impossible to miss a document not being signed because it automatically sends reminders to signers if they do not sign and emails reminders daily, letting me know how many documents are pending signatures.

    The app is quite versatile - as for me, I've been using it at work for some time and can't say that the problems that I have listed affect the general impression of the platform. Apart from using it at work, DottedSign is also pretty good for personal tasks, if you have to sign something on the go and so on. It's great for keeping track of the entire signing process and making sure everybody is on the same page with the help of reminders and such.

    great for sending out duplicate forms to clients that require a signature, this is fine when you do not have to keep changing details on the form. What is limited is if we need to change elements that need to be signed or remove elements as the original form is loaded up as a Word document or PDF. There are a variety of selection options to ensure that the data fields can be customized to font color and size number of characters etc.

    Pros
    Dropbox
    • Allows customization for each client.
    • Gives us all the room we need to create a thorough contract.
    • Allows us to save each executed contract as a PDF.
    • Looks like a pricey, professionally drawn-up contract.
    • The ability to send a new customer a professional-looking contract like this makes us look "bigger" than we are.

    • Of course DottedSign isn't the first one to show how convenient e-signatures are, but in my opinion the creators really nailed it because it's both easy-to-use and also pleasant to work with due to the nice and intuitive interface and truly helpful tools.
    • Another point I'd like to make is the reminders feature is really nice - anyone who hasn't yet signed their part gets an email notification to speed them along.
    • Another thing that I like that there's no need to contact customer support to figure anything out - just download the app and get going.

    Cons
    Dropbox
    • It would be nice to be able to build a template for just the location of the signature boxes that would allow me to upload a document, and the boxes could be basically replaced. I have the exact same doc for each of my clients, but there are small changes here and there, and I have to fill in their personal info through another program, so it would be nice to be able to do a template this way instead of just tying a template to one document.

    • Well, the synchronization feature isn't perfect - when you log in into your account on the browser version, for instance, you need to wait for a couple of minutes to load a file that you have already loaded in the app.
    • Apart from that, the platform doesn't allow you to rotate blank windows to add a date or signatures and sometimes documents are scanned upside down, and you have to edit them subsequently, which is time consuming.

    • Page and element spacing can sometimes be different than expected.
    • There should be more standardized fields for inserting into documents.

    I found this to be super user-friendly and easy to teach other teammates how to use in 5 minutes. I use it frequently, and there was little to no learning curve with this product. I also find that document signers have no problem navigating the documents we need them to review.

    I have not encountered this because it was so easy to use however just seeing how they created a community is great and shows that they are here for their users. I am going to say I am sure they are available and ready to assist when needed. The fact that we have not yet experienced an outage and issues says a lot though :)

    Support Rating
    Dropbox
    Support is limited to email only (for our subscription level), which might be OK for a e-signing platform if support was relatively rapid. This is not the case with HelloSign. Since the issues first arose a week ago, we have made no discernible progress in solving the problem. No matter how quickly I respond to a follow-up email, we receive only 1 email a day from the support. The other issue, which is a true edge case situation, is their insistence on receiving email from the same email account as the HelloSign registration. We changed our organizational email recently, and I was still logging into HS using our old email address. This became a hard stop on further support, which doesn't make sense on a practical level. Why would someone write in for support with specific issues if they weren't a customer? And if they did, wouldn't that be a miniscule proportion of the support requests? So if you adopt a policy that stops providing support to anyone who isn't verified, regardless of the situation, isn't that using a blunt instrument to solve a very rare issue? Reflects the overall organizational values, in my opinion, which is not to value the small customer.

    Implementation Rating
    Dropbox
    I can not say it enough - this was the easiest implementation we have had with an application. I became an admin, I added the person who would be the back up admin, we moved forward with adding accounts and that was it. All the users we have were self sufficient enough to move forward with very little guidance and the guidance they received was in house.

    Dropbox Sign seems a little more intuitive and user-friendly than DocuSign. DocuSign also has a limit to the number of documents that you can send for signature over a period of time. Dropbox Sign integrates with just as many applications and software as DocuSign does. I also think the amount of templates that they give you to use is more than adequate for most business applications and more than other services seem to give you.

    eversign wasn't quite as good because of how the interface was designed. I don't think that for a software with such simple features the interface should be so piled on. While DottedSign's interface is one of its strongest features.

    Between the easy to use app, the pricing, and the team at dropbox. This app is hands down great! Easy to use. Anyone can start using it and if not I am sure the team at dropbox will guide you to implement. The cost especially for us as a nonprofit is sustainable which is great.

    • Faster time to contract signature-less overthinking because they sign with their finger on the phone with the sales rep.
    • Reduction of paper waste and organization.
    • Ease for sales reps to quickly choose and alter any agreement they need while on a call.

    • I think after we started using DottedSign at our company, we're achieving our goals a little faster due to less time being spent on traveling to meet clients and so on, and with the process being more streamlined, it's easier. to pay attention to other parts that might have been neglected before.
    • We got a bit more new clients in the last quarter, but it might be due to different reasons, but I think DottedSign played a part.
    • Also, having all the newly signed contracts digitized and available on the cloud gives us a peace of mind.
