Kami
When dealing with absent students, and giving them classroom material, Kami is great. I never make extra copies of worksheets anymore. If a student needs/wants a second one, they can get it digitally from me. Additionally, being able to track the feedback that I give to students is a real plus.

I chose to hit #9. I believe we all have abilities to broaden our needs so for the majority you may end up thinking this is a 10 if having used comparison tools or remembering those times when a certain "other" signature and document completion tool didn't go as planned or seemed less familiar. I will always welcome the clients and professionals who need my response to send their documents to me for PDF filling. On the random flip when I have to have communication rapidly flow on the go in a last minute piece of time, these people will receive my PDF™ items. And if tips and tools are necessary, they are rather easily placed where they can be worked out by anyone.

Pros
Kami
  • Kami does a great job at helping you reshape pdfs and share documents from different formats.
  • I like being able to give all of my students a copy of a document, and having Kami organize each student's work product in real-time.
  • I like being able to annotate directly on a student's work so that they can receive feedback in real-time.
  • I like being able to merge, cut, and edit documents quickly.

  • Create and edit forms with ease.
  • Send forms out for signature and field completion to clients, vendors, and employees.
  • Saved us a ton of time and space around the office, since we have been able to eliminate the fax machine and scanner.

Cons
Kami
  • When I am multitasking on multiple screens, there are times when I am trying to scroll with my stylus and I end up writing on the document.
  • When Kami creates folders and organization, there seems to be almost too much redundancy. The same file seems to be in multiple places. I don't know if that is a Kami problem or a me problem, but I'll probably start trying to clean things up a little soon.
  • I think that the tool restriction for students method could be improved.

  • multiple users can not login at the same time. When the 2nd user login to the same account, it will logged out the 1st user automatically.
  • For using advanced features of this software users need to pay a lot. It's very expensive.
  • Unavailability of task manager. It can help users to add their tasks on the dashboard itself and give reminders of those tasks.

I will always be a faithful PDFfiller customer. The product has saved me a lot of time over the years and I find a great deal of value in the platform. If I move on to another company someday, PDFfiller will be going with me wherever I go.

Usability
Kami
There is a small learning curve with some of the annotation tools. There is also a learning curve for embracing exactly what you can accomplish with Kami. However, with just a little practice, you can master just about all of the Kami features.

I don't fully understand all the features and I could probably be using it better, especially the templates. The organisation of exisiting files could be better (ie similar to folders on a pc/laptop). I haven't really invested much time into exploring it further than filling out forms; There possibly is an organisation solution I haven't discovered yet

If you need help, you can easily search for it and find online tutorials that walk you through how to do specific things step by step. You do not have to read a 20 page manual or sit for a 10 hour training session, it is refreshing that you can take it at your own pace and learn things as you need to

When I was hired on by my current company I was already a paying customer, so I just brought it with me. Once I showed our President/Founder how simple it was to use for our contracts, agreements, and NDAs, it has been a staple in our company ever since. That was almost 3 years ago. We've closed quicker because of the speed at which we can turn signed docs around.

I like Miro better for teacher directed lessons, and group discussions. I like Nearpod more if I have to include a number of different interactive aspects to lessons. I find Google Slides and Adobe to be more clunky and less user friendly than Kami generally. However, if I want to just make a document better, or I want to give my students independent work, or if I want them to complete homework than Kami is my go-to tool

I have used other editors such as Adobe Acrobat and, in my opinion, for the money Adobe costs, if the need is just to edit pdf I would go with PDFfiller. It is a really easy tool to use. It's learning curve is not that steep and it does pretty much everything I need from it.

Return on Investment
Kami
  • My desk has about 10% of the paperwork sitting on it than it used to have.
  • I never have any arguments about whether a student turned something in or not.
  • A student doesn't have to physically see me for me to help them with work. I can write and they can see what I write.
  • Sharing documents with colleagues is now a breeze.

  • not traveling with a printer
  • able to do work a lot faster
  • documents always look very professional
  • all the paperwork i need to fill out is typed, not handwritten into forms which looks much more professional. Almost as if I had an assistant to type out my documents
  • I love the fact that I can make an edit to an existing PDF. I dont have to go back and forth and ask for editable copies of word documents, etc.
